I am trying to make the first steps into RPi and DAC HAT world.
So I bought a chinese clone of PiFi DAC v1.0.
I just set up volumio and when palying back some music I see playback has started but no sound comes from the speakers.
I am only connected to the storage disk on my pc by ethernet. Is this ok or should I use usb instead.
Also how do I check that the PiFi DAc is correctly recognized by Volumio?
First of all thnk you for your reply.
In DAC Model I am using HiFi Berry DAC Plus
IS hi the right one and should any further config be done via comandline?
Thank you once again
That is all right.
No need to add something to config.txt or to do something on the commandline.
There is a red LED indicating the power supply is working and green one that lights up if it is initialized by Volumio.
I also started with some of those cheap clones. At 1 of them a capacitor (100nF) was missing and therefore the sound has been ugly. Quality does meet the low price. After adding this part it did also work.
Since I was struggling with this issue as well, I made the following table with relevant pins.
Since it took me half day to find all relevant info (I2S interface, pinout P5, used pins on the board) I also reply here.
Please note, that P1 on the P5 header is on the right (on the P8 header, it’s on the left)
Pi P5 header = Old Pi P5 GPIO = I2S interface assignment = new Pi header
