Hifiberry digi+ on Raspberry pi2
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?

RE: Hifiberry on Raspberry pi2
A quick search on the forums would have helped you!

http://forum.xbian.org/thread-2397-post-29560.html#pid29560

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. Smile

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

RE: Hifiberry on Raspberry pi2
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).
