just joined here as i have an rpi iq dac and also the sabre sac for it. recently hit a problem that i cannot find an answer to so thought as gordon iq has not been around my normal forum for some time i would try another.
Have to say ive been very impressed with mine until the sound suddenly switched off.
on checking boot up on a tv it comes up with a fail
fail…startpar returned failure
i get the sound out of the tv via the hbmi plug but nothing from the dac. i bought another dac thinkingvthat was the probkem but alas it aint. Sadly ive had to give up on it as i know no computer lynux etc.
if anyone knows the reason for the failure it would be appreciated but until then i will have to make do with the trusty but a tad flakey laptop system
thanks for the reply.
Yes the sound works via hdmi, but not from analogue via the dac’s rca’s. I tried another dac but still the same. As it happened, not in start up but during its playing a song via the attached hdd is am now thinking it may be the interface between pi and dac
Well, the new rpi 2b+ came and I mated it with the new I sabre audiophonics dac. alas just the sam. same fail in set up although I dont know if this is anything to do with it. sound out to tv via hdmi socket but nothing from the rca outputs on the dac.
