volumio and hifiberry dac +

Im back

a heavy work project (new PACS install) + it worked for a minute, got me distracted, now im back spending my nights in my ‘office’ going to work on raspi frustrated

rpi 3b+ less than 6 months old
newest raspbian image available (june i think?)
hifiberry DAC + less than 6 months old (1 of 4 dacs ive tried)
alesis powered studio monitors less than 3 months old

it worked for a while, i put a case on it (made for the hifiberry) and went to work on my projecvt at work, since ive been back no sou8nd, and the dreaded red ALSA error has returned

new sd cards, new images burned

ive tried the turn off the i2s/save/reboot/turn on i2s/save/reboot = same issue

switched to audio jack accidenta;lly. looks like its working, didnt check fopr sound because thats not how i wanmte itt
etc/module only has 1 line in it

anyone have anything thaty works permenantly?

or at least 99% of the time?

thanks

wow

now im frustrated

just for grins, and because i got up 30 minutes early this morning, i thought id try something different.

see, not that im bragging , but i have about a dozen pis around the house, everytime i see a cool project i start assembling parts until i have everything, then i start the build.

so this morning, i moved everything to a new pi, new sd card, new image

booted right up, went to setup and started playing…

now, do i tempt fate and try and put it into a case? :bulb:

I think your tenacity, and curiosity will prevail and put it in a case! I know you will :smiley:
