Rasp Pi 2 + M2tech Hiface 1 - Anyone tried?

[pitadavespa]

Hi,

I'm trying to use my Hiface 1 (USB to Spdif out) in order to connect my Rasp Pi to my DAC using Moode, Volumio or similar, but I can't seem to be able to make them work.
Is it possible?

I search the net and I think it is possible with Hiface 2, but what about verison 1?


Thanks,
Luis

Looks like it needs a very specific driver.

Instructions and downloads available here: https://github.com/panicking/snd-usb-asyncaudio/wiki

On a second read, it looks like the driver is in the kernel from 3.11 onwards. You might need to add snd-usb-hiface to /etc/modules if it's not enabled out of the box.

I already tried it, but I guess I didn't notice the second part.
I'll try it later.

Thanks!

According to here: https://github.com/panicking/snd-usb-asyncaudio

The module is actually SND_USB_HIFACE

For some reason Raspbian doesn't have the headers in their repository, if you search around a bit there are some guides about how to get around this (but they're a bit more involved than a simple couple of lines here), like this: https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/v...17666&p=179845

Did adding the module to /etc/modules not work then?

Sorry, I'm not sure how to do that, either... :\

At the prompt type: sudo nano /etc/modules

it will prompt you for a password and then open the file to edit

Add: SND_USB_HIFACE

press ctrl+o to save and ctrl+x to exit nano

reboot the pi and cross your fingers...

I'm now following your link and learning a bit more.
Let's see... hmmm...
