Getting Hifiberry DAC2 PRO XLR to work - Aendu - 03-09-21
Hello to Hans and to the entire samplerbox-community
I just want to share on how I was able to getting the "Hifiberry DAC2 PRO XLR" to work with the latest samplerbox-image (Sbox20210521.img):
Modify the file "config.txt" in the BOOT-partition in the following way
1)
- comment out the line "dtparam=audio=on" (add # in front of the line)
2)
- remove the # at the start of the line "dtoverlay=hifiberry-dacplus" (so it is an active-entry)
3)
- insert after the modified line (point 2) a new line with the following text: force_eeprom_read=0
Without this additional configuration-instruction the DAC2 was not recognized and the hole samplerbox-daemon wasn't starting.
Hope this information will help other users who want to use the same DAC as I have in my setup.
Cheerio
Aendu

Hi Aendu,
Thanks for this update, I will include the hints in next distribution.
I don't think the force_eeprom_read=0 is needed now, but obviously it doesn't hurt.
I saw on the HiFiBerry site this is necessary for linux 5.4 and higher and current box runs 4.14.
But next distribution will be 5.10, so you save me checking out why my hifiberry stops working (did not test that yet as the development box doesn't have that HW). So a welcome post
Regards, Hans
