Hi,

I hope someone can help me to get sound out of the RB3+Hifiberry Amp 2 combination. I have tried to get it working with max2play, volumio, hifiberry installer (openelec) and the raspbian image on the hifiberry website. No sound via squeezelight, airplay and the test using sox (play –n synth sine 1000).

Hardware:
Tried with power only to the RB board (5.1V, 2.1A), with power only to the hifiberry (12V, 5A) and also with power to both.
Connected 2 8ohm speakers.
Tried all using WIFI only, since I can’t use a wired connection.

Any help is much appreciated.

Below the information:

Software:
Chose the Amp 2 option from the hifiberry plugin page.
Chose the dacplus driver at the audioplayer tab at advanced options for both squeezelight and airplay. I tried removing the settings in the hardware field and also with leaving them there (tried with hw0 and hw1). Trying squeezelight and airplay one after the other because they can’t work both at the same time.

Hi Willem,

It looks like you have tried most options on the software side. Please also try putting out music via the headphone jack or HDMI to make sure your Pi is capable of putting out sound.
