0.3-Beta RPi3 Out of the box support for Wolfson (Cirrus?)

[Quax]

Hello All,

As a newbie I bought a RPi3 with the suggested "Cirrus Logic Audio Card", but after hours of reading and searching the Forum I'm not able to activate the Audio Card

They write in the offical Changelog:
0.3-beta
29/10/2014

Out of the box support for Raspberry Pi’s most popular I²S DACs:
G2Labs BerryNOS
G2Labs BerryNOS mini
HiFiBerry DAC and HiFiBerry DAC+
HiFiBerry Digi and HiFiBerry Digi+
IQaudIO Pi-DAC and IQaudIO Pi-DAC+
RaspyPlay3 and RaspyPlay4
Wolfson Audio Card

So I learned, that the Cirrus Logic Audio Card is the successor of the Wolfson Audio Card.
I also learned that I have to uncomment the corresponding "device tree overlay" in config.txt.
But I can't find a corresponding line in config.txt and no overlay.dtb in the \overlays section.

So what do I have to do for correct activating my Cirrus Logig Audio Card?

Thanks in advance

Hi Frank,

It was not a real decision by me - I just looked for a shop where I can buy a Pi3 and anything else needed.
I looked for DACs based on that suggestion:

2016-05-22 09_04_08-Turn your Raspberry Pi into a music player.jpg (104.74 KiB) Viewed 1683 times

so exactly that Cirrus Card I bought (you are right).

I suspected that I have to send it back and look for another card, so I'm very happy about your post.

It would be great if you could help me.

Thanks

After many weeks of waiting, messaging with hondagx35 and not getting the promised help
I ordered a HifiBerry DAC+ and it took only some minutes making it work - and the sound is great.

After that long time unfortunately it's not possible to give the Cirrus Logic Card back to the dealer

So I have a Cirrus Logic Card left over, hoping it will be really implemented in runeaudio some day.

If you have another RPi X B+ then give a try to LibreELEC! One of the users realeased an update that's easily installed and gives hassle free compatibility with the Cirrus Audio DAC.

I also had been strugglling to make it work with an original B+ and as soon as I saw that release I tried it and I've been blown away.

LibreELEC is a bit bigger as it's made to be an overall media player, but can be easily used as a headless audio player controlled via browser, mobile apps and whatnot as it uses Kodi.
