PCM5102 issue (DAC)

Post by Hiphouser »

Hello!
I'm using Pi 4 and 5 for test with Trixie and last Hudiy version.
I'm using PCM5102 audio card.

I need to tick after every boot "snd_rpi_hifiberry_dac"

what is the way to have this ticked permanently?

I ever have a double check off my config.txt, but always this issue...

Hello,
What exactly is this 'tick'? The default sound card is selected by PipeWire and WirePlumber when creating the audio routing. What does the routing look like in qpwgraph in your setup? Is the final output device the snd_rpi_hifiberry_dac?

Sorry for my english...
I'm from France.
When I write "tick", I just want to tell, every time I boot my Pi, I need to select "snd_rpi_hifiberry_dac", yes I want to use my PCM5102 circuit for ever.

No problem at all, we aren't native speakers either. We were just hoping to clarify how that 'tick'/'select' actually works. Is it a specific command entered in the terminal or is it a setting you change in the Raspberry Pi Control Centre?

Also, could you please post a screenshot of the qpwgraph program to check what the audio routing looks like right after the system starts (before selecting snd_rpi_hifiberry_dac)?

Please also provide output of pactl list sinks command.
