The following steps are tested with the XBian latest (2005-10-17), HiFiBerry Digi/Digi+, Raspberry Pi 2.
Note: You need to enable SSH access from Kodi into XBian config panel.
Code:
> ssh -l xbian [the IP of raspberry device]Step1:
remove the default sound module into /etc/modules.xbian by commenting its line entry
Code:
> sudo vi /etc/modules.xbianand comment the line
#snd_bcm2835
Step 2:
edit /boot/config.txt file by adding the proper overlay
Code:
> sudo vi /boot/config.txtand make the following changes:
#dtoverlay=lirc-rpi
dtoverlay=hifiberry-digi
Step 3:
Reboot.
Now you can select the DIGI into the Kodi Audio Output panel (also as passthrough device).

Thanks @picov.
Stupid me updated first, then followed your step by step instructions, so I don't know if the update made it work or some changes. Anyway, it works!
(For about a week now, pretty stable.) Movies and Music is equally amplified, even.Though I got a Kodi crash today...

@zappel
can you start xbmc manually? (sudo start xbmc)
RE: Hifiberry - Ewoud Bakker - 4th Mar, 2016 09:20 PM
Hi xbians,
So Kodi 16 Jarvis was updated and my hifiberry stopped beeing able to passthrough dts its greyed out on HDMI.
On Kodi 15 it was working smoothly.
Now i've read that there is a patch to force it to work by bypassing some settings. I imagin it was applied on kodi 15.
Will it be applied to Kodi 16 too? And if not is there anyway i can roll back to kodi 15 to get my movie sound back?
Thanks for your time.
Cheers,
Ewoud
Edit: Did a roll back found the apt-get xbian-package-xbmc="insertversion" thingy. Now my sound is back in DTS. would like to hear if this gets solved in kodi 16 though. cheers

@Ewoud Bakker
Which Raspberry Pi do you use - 1 or 2?
I think you mean this patch https://github.com/xbianonpi/xbian-sources-xbmc/commit/35b75aee200f7c76028f0b6edbc8aef21b730aaa
Maybe this has already been fixed in the kernel driver
If you're using a RPi2, you could enable the devel package in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/xbian.list by removing the three ### in the devel line (usually line 3) to upgrade to the latest kernel 4.4.3 and try again
And yes, roll back is very simple (oh, you already did it)
RE: Hifiberry - Nachteule - 5th Mar, 2016 03:05 AM
Patch has been applied and new packages were build.
You have to enable staging repo to get them (same procedure written in my previous post, only enable staging instead of devel (usually line 2))
and then, run a
Code:
sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgradeRE: Hifiberry - Ewoud Bakker - 5th Mar, 2016 05:43 AM
Thnx for the information.
running on Rpi2
I rolled back but my HDMI Cec wasn't working will update again and try your way.
RE: Hifiberry - Ewoud Bakker - 5th Mar, 2016 07:54 AM
hmmmz new problem occured, while apt-get upgrade my disk space got filled... any idea how to free it up or make it larger?

You have 21GB free, don't see the problem
RE: Hifiberry - Nachteule - 5th Mar, 2016 08:34 AM
I'm confused - You have 70% space available
RE: Hifiberry - Ewoud Bakker - 5th Mar, 2016 09:26 AM
Yeah i dont see it either. but nothing works anymore.
Only thing i can think of is that my rootfs is gone?
but wait there is more:
see the world burn, a nice paradox
RE: Hifiberry - Nachteule - 5th Mar, 2016 11:08 AM
Yes, agree. root fs seems damaged
RE: Hifiberry - Ewoud Bakker - 5th Mar, 2016 09:19 PM
ok,
I've done a fresh install.
- added staging
- ran upgade and updates.
- #snd_bcm2835
- dtoverlay=hifiberry-digi
aplay -l shows the hifiberry but also the bmc2835. in kodi it doesn't show the hifiberry.
any ideas?
RE: Hifiberry - Nachteule - 6th Mar, 2016 12:07 AM
I'm using a Hifiberry Amp, please show me the output of aplay -l and cat /etc/asound.conf
aplay -l
