Hello, I tried to install Pi Musicbox on my B+ with the HiFiBerry Digi+ module for some weeks now. I always get the same error and no sound over spdif or toslink: bcm2708-i2s bcm2708-i2s.0: I2S SYNC error! Here is what I did: I tried the latest stable Image of Pi Musicbox and also the Prerelease…

Aside from Mopidy, shairport is the other process possibly using the soundcard. You’d maybe need to comment out the bottom part of /etc/monit/monitrc to prevent monit from automatically restarting it once you kill it.

Rene, thank you for the hint. I read your post before (and a lot other posts, too) and I think I did it all the same way, you did. Except that I use the Digi+ instead of the Dac plus. So I set output = hifiberry_digi instead of hifiberry_dacplus. The strange thing is that the Digi+ was still ignored…

I have same issue. I previously used version 0.5 and with help of this thread I was able to listen through SPDIF. Can somebody to guide me how can I fix this in version 0.5.1rc2?

cannot test this, don’t have a Digi+…

I have this same issue as well. I noticed that as well as the sync error message, I was also getting ‘DMA transfer could not be terminated’ which would also prevent alsa force-reload from working once I had attempted to play any sound. The same error would crop up again during shutdown - I don’t r…

Hey this is how i got my Pi Musicbox on my B+ with the HiFiBerry Digi+ to work. Chose sound card HiFiBerry Digi restart it it won’t work directly. ssh into it ssh root@ip aplay -l check the card number of HiFiBerry Digi+ change asound.conf with the above card nummber nano /etc/asound.conf pcm.!…

Hi, This works! Changing the asound.conf did the trick. Is there someone who can make this work after a reboot? Or tell me the how to fix it. Maybe Wouter van Wijk himself? Please help! Musicbox is fantastic, but i need this digital output! Regards, Peter
