Is pifi digi+ supported?

I just received pifi digi+, hoping it would work just like a hifiberry digi+. It looks like it doesn’t. Anybody have any luck using this with rasplex?

I have edited config.txt to include
dtoverlay=hifiberry-digi, but from dmesg it looks like it does not work:

[ 5.179123] snd-hifiberry-digi sound: ASoC: CPU DAI (null) not registered [ 5.179156] snd-hifiberry-digi sound: snd_soc_register_card() failed: -517 [ 5.186000] snd-hifiberry-digi sound: ASoC: CODEC DAI wm8804-spdif not registered [ 5.186031] snd-hifiberry-digi sound: snd_soc_register_card() failed: -517

This is on a raspberry 2, with rasplex 0.7.1

You’ll have to ask when the manufacturer will be releasing supporting overlays/drivers/etc.

According to the manufacturer, it should run with the same overlays as the
hifiberry, I just wondered if anybody else has gotten it to work.

Myself, I have ordered another hifiberry dac.

I am aware this is an OLD thread, but as I was suffering from exactly the same issue and did not yet find a solution here, I am posting it here for posterity and my good self.
Got a PiFi Digi+ Pihat too today and was struggling to get it to work on a Raspberry PI 3 running ** RasPlex (official) Version: 1.8.0.148-573b6d73 **
what made it tick for me were the following steps:

  • open an ssh console, login as root:rasplex
  • make /flash writable (mount -o remount,rw /flash)
  • open /flash/config.txt (nano -w /flash/config.txt) and edit. The IR eye (dtoverlay=lirc-rpi) seems to bork the correct initialization of the soundcard. as soon as I commented that out; optical out (spdif)started working. So find the line that enables “dtoverlay=lirc-rpi” and comment it out by placing a # in front of it.

# dtoverlay=lirc-rpi
dtoverlay=hifiberry-digi
dtdebug=1

  • reboot
  • select the new soundcard in Rasplex
