RPI2: SoundCard not detected
« on: April 01, 2015, 08:45:58 AM »
Hi!

I want to install the PiCorePlayer on my RPI2. I downloaded piCore-6.1alpha4_v7-SSH.zip and installed it on the SD. System is booting up and working but when I install the ALSA-Tools via TCE then I get the error message "no soundcard found".
Same error appers when I run alsamixer.

Any Ideas?

Br,
Johannes

Hi johannes

If you only want to use piCorePlayer then you simply needs to download the image and burn it to your SD-card.
Then boot and you have a working squeezebox player.

You can get it from here: https://sites.google.com/site/picoreplayer/home/download

Hi!

Thanks for the answers, I will test tomorrow morning.

Regarding the link, this image is also working for the RPI 2?

Yes, when running this command then the soundcard is detected.

Can I automatically load the module?

Add command to /opt/bootlocal.sh

Don't forget to backup.
