[PROBLEM] Hifiberry digi+ on Raspberry pi2

[bonestaak]

I have a PI 2 and bought a Hifiberry digi+ I have Xbian ( Linux xbian 3.18.8+ #1)
(XBian 20150407-0 - Bleeding Edge, 2012 - 2014)
Now i want to config my Xbian so that it can use the Hifiberry for output.
How to do that?

A quick search on the forums would have helped you!

At the moment there are issues with hifiberry digi+ and the latest xbain kernel (or at least that's what I believe is the problem).

It won't hurt you to read the thread and see what others have tried so you don't waste your time doing the same thing!

I am sure that the issue will be resolved. I just don't know when.

Stick with it, the sound from these is worth the wait.

There are a lot of messages saying get Alsa but there is no message where is written how to install Alsa (linux command?) on Xbian.
I saw on hifiberry.com there is a complete image for raspberry named raspbian-preconfigured.img
but too bad it was not a XBMC clone but a complete linux os. So i must start again with a shape of Kodi but witch package does come with support of Hifiberry digi+?

---

found the alsa package but seemes to be especially for a special distribution

sudo apt-get install libasound2 alsa-utils alsa-oss
[sudo] password for xbian:
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Package alsa-utils is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source

Try this.

Code:

sudo apt-get install alsa-base alsa-utils

Can you also edit the title to include 'digi+' as this will make it more searchable for others with the same issues to find. Thanks.

I'm sorry i don't have experience with programming (linux)
I have downloaded 2 packages
linux-image-bcm2836_4.1.3+-1437860820_armhf.deb
xbian-package-firmware_2.3.0_armhf.deb
Are this the packages i needed? (i thought i read it in a message)
If yes must these files copied to a directory on my xbian card? which directory?
sudo apt-get install alsa-base alsa-utils do i add a path somewhere on this command?
I am a technician i do everything with hardware but i don't have experience with programming. Im sorry.

Can you all use code tags (also edit previous posts incoorporating them).
