No Sound with Volumio 2.452 Upgrade and HiFiBerry Amp+

When I just upgraded from Volumio2 around version 2.387 (I’m not sure what the specific prior version was) to 2.452, and I lost sound.

My hardware setup is a RPi 3 B with a HifiBerry AMP+.

Initially after installation and getting no sound.

In the web interface, I selected “I2S DAC” to “On”, and the “DAC Model” to “HiFiBerry Amp”, clicked “save”. The “Output Device” shows as “snd_rpi_hifiberry_amp”. I still got no sound.

I ssh’d into the device, and tried speaker-test with various options, and I didn’t get sound (it appeared that I was not selecting the right device).

Previously, I’ve had good luck blacklisting the built-in audio, so I did that by doing the following:

Edit the (new) file /etc/modprobe.d/audio.conf
Add the line “blacklist snd_bcm2835”
Save the file
Reboot

aplay -L no longer listed the internal audio, and speaker-test now made sound on the speakers with no options required.

The “Playback Options” section of the “Playback Options” page looks like it has issues:

  • DSD Playback Mode: DSD Direct
  • DSD Auto Volume Level: Off
  • Error: indistinct setting, see attachment
  • Audio Buffer Size: Error
  • Buffer Before Play: Error
  • Persistent Queue: On

I think this is distinct from the issue here: hifiberry-dac-sound-t9900.html

I think you selected the wrong board type.
I also have rpi3 b+ and hifiberry AMP2.
You should select HifiBerry DAC plus.
My settings and I have sound:
