Hifiberry Dac+ Pro and RPI4 combo not working

It should be fine, but then I'm not sure why 6.1 doesn't work with that card. Perhaps there was a patch made in later kernels than pcp 6.1 uses.

O.K., thanks. A bit strange that this hasn't, yet, come up for anyone else. But, if it does, at least there's a solution out there, now.

I guess if the official release doesn't work, I can always go back to this beta.....but, I suspect you're right in that the official 7.0 will be fine.

I've had the same issue and PCP 7 beta 6 fixed it for me as well.

I've been having the same issue. I upgraded to PCP 7 beta today, so I assume that's the latest beta. I can select HifiBerry DAC2HD and Pro as my soundcard. I have limited choices for the output setting:

default
plugequal
equal
hw:CARD=Headphones,DEV=0
plughw:CARD=Headphones,DEV=0
sysdefault:CARD=Headphones

I tried default, and no sound. I tried plugequal and equal and Squeezelite wouldn't start. I tried hw:CARD-Headphones,DEV=0 and got no sound out of either the RCA jacks or the mini-stereo headphone jack. The last two choices wouldn't let Squeezelite start.

I set the RPI4 to use its own analogue output, and I get sound. I would like to have the HiFiBerry card working, for the better quality sound. Right now, I have spent an entire afternoon on this without success. I appreciate any help anyone can give me.

Note: I've got an earlier system - RPI3 with The HiFiBerry DAC Pro - working okay in another room in the house.

Incidentally, I had three Squeezebox Duets, but one died last year and one died earlier this month, so I thought the Raspberry Pi with PiCore would be the way to go. I hope this problem can be resolved.

Your card is not being detected, are you sure what card you have? And no pCP7 is not in Beta anymore.

Which hifiberry DAC have you got? Does the little LED on the hifiberry light up when it's powered on?
