Holy… Great work. The Beta 0.015 already supports every feature I need. Spotify connect, Kodi Leia (
) and my own plugin for light control AmbX. And no issues so far.
Only communication with other volumios and switching from numbers to names to access the dacs left 
Is there anything required to enable airplay on the latest beta?
I’ve got it recently installed on an RPi. shows up on the network (able to login via wifi etc), but doesn’t show up as an airplay endpoint.
Edit: just saw the couple related posts above. Will try those steps first. < Didnt seem to help.

~To fix multiroom/mdns run and restart the volumio service
sudo apt install libnss-mdns
volumio vrestart
You still have the wrong systemd unit file. Please try steps from Volumio Debian Buster Beta - Raspi images debugging - #380 by ashthespy
Confirm that cat /lib/systemd/system/shairport-sync.service has similar looking things as the file from the repo.

Perfect! Works now 
Please add it to new image 0.016.
Ok that worked. thanks!
Now that I have an airplay endpoint, I stream to Volumio, it plays, I see the track, time increment etc. But fails to light up the toslink digital-out on my HAT. I’d seen this previously with 2.8, but through fiddling with the DSD-Direct / PCM and the Mixer settings I got it to work previously, but not on this Buster build.
I tried putting some webRadio stations (DI.fm) and a flac audio file directly on the flash, but got alsa errors playing those also… so guessing something is not quite right with ALSA/MPD config?
Logs? 
Which logs do you need?

This is the HAT I’m using, which was working on 2.8. I’ll try going back to that a little later to verify its still working there if need be.
It uses the “hifiberry DAC driver”.

EDIT: I loaded an sd-card with fresh 2.8.61, selected the i2s hifiberry dac driver, rebooted and streamed airplay to it successfully. So I think the hardware is still ok.
Log from the fresh 2.8.61 as comparison, in case its helpful: http://logs.volumio.org/volumio/GxAxcet.html
I had to add “snd-bcm2835.enable_compat_alsa=1” to /boot/cmdline.txt otherwise my dac has not worked.
Can you check /boot/cmdline.txt?

Yep, that is the issue – it’s looking for the hardcoded card 2, which doesn’t exist. You would need to add the line suggested by @The_Raven to get the headphone outputs again, pushing your I2S DAC back to card 2.
Ok, that definitely helped. There are no errors now when playing local files.
Still no output from the HAT though, or optical light turning on, same settings as I used on 2.8.61.
What steps should I take to troubleshoot?
Reboot and a fresh log please? 
Also would be nice to share the output of dmesg

ahhh… looks like the hifiberry is at card 3 now? Assuming thats a problem?
Edit: I found the touch UI a little slow, so I have an rpi4 upgrade arriving tomorrow also… I’m assuming the hardware layout (and hence this card assignment) might be different with that change… will report back on that also.
are you using a RPi together with a DSI touchscreen?
if yes, could you post the response from uname -a?

Yes, using a 5" DSI touchscreen.
volumio@mancave:~$ uname -a
Linux mancave 5.10.3-v7+ #1386 SMP Sun Dec 27 14:01:57 GMT 2020 armv7l GNU/Linux
Is changing the hardware address from hw:2 to hw:3 in mpd.conf viable?
Edit: changed hw to “3” in mpd.conf, rebooted and now have dsd lock with the DAC, getting output, but only for local files. Shows playing etc with airplay, but no lock/output from the HAT.

your problem is related to the kernel, in the latest versions (from 5.4.79 onwards) the mapping of the device changes if a DSI touchscreen is connected (HDMI entry disappears, I2S DAC shifts to card1)
I have been playing with all the possible combinations of snd-bcm2835.enable_compat_alsa, snd_bcm2835.enable_headphones and snd_bcm2835.enable_hdmi, there is no way to have the DAC mapped as card2. disconnecting the DSI touchscreen makes the problem gone.
I have the very same setup, the trick to have your DAC working again is the following
- restore mpd.conf
- add the entry dtoverlay=hifiberry-dac in /boot/userconfig.txt
- Disable I2S DAC from Playback option menu
- select sndrpihifiberry from the dwop-down menu
- Apply and reboot
note: Volumio team is aware of the issue, a fix is already done and will be available in the future releases

That did the trick! Local and airplay both now working.
Now I’m back to operation, time to start playing with the dev peppymeter plug-in to get these led vu meters bouncing
Thanks so much for the support. I signed up for membership last night as well.
