I was in a tinkering mood, and all went kind of well, up to the last step.
Managed to put together a PI 3, a Hifiberry Dac+ -HAT, and the official 7’ touchscreen.
I got the screen up and running (brilliant, btw, I really enjoy it!). now the last step to happiness, configuring the whole thing as a roon endpoint, doesn’t work. The HAT (DAC+) doesn’t show up as an audio zone in roon.
Pi and Display are powered seperately via a USB splitter. RoPiee is configured to use a HAT, USB audio is disabled.
Silly question but does the hifiberry DAC+ show in the ropieee list of DACS in the web ui when you are setting up ropieee? In other words is the hifiberry DAC+ you selected to enable? I R engineer (meaning mister literal details details ) and when you said it is set to “use a HAT”, a flag goes up for me until it is confirmed that the “right” HAT is configured.
Also, have you tried rebooting everything? Network also. Sometimes that helps.
I set up ropieee with a wired connection, now I’m on wireless.
I can view and control different roon zones with the touchscreen, so network connectivity doesn’t seem to be an issue.
Maybe the hat is defective, I’ll try and swap it with another dac hat later today (I’ll have to disassemble my headphone listening station).
Looks like we’re getting somewhere.
The HAT is seen by ALSA, but if I check for roonbridge running, I get “Unit roonbridge.service could not be found”. What would be the next step?
