This is a *very* old kernel for a Milhouse build.
Your update procedure is not working...

Just bought a brand new micro sd card, to install a fresh installation of "OpenELEC Beta - Raspberry Pi ARM Version:4.1.6"

Also created /etc/modules-load.d/hifiberry.conf, after a reboot I see now the ALSA option!! But when I choose this option, the system hangs.
I will look into this further and keep you imformed..

Now I created this file:
/storage/.config/modprobe.d/disable-lirc.conf

containing:
blacklist lirc_rpi

After a reboot, I selected ALSA and finally it's working! Aerosmith is playing right now! Big Grin

I think the problems was that I used a micro sd card + USB stick.I bought this pre-installed from a webshop
Like I said before. I think this sd card doesn't get updated. That's why I bought a new micro sd card.

I have this output now:

OpenELEC:~ # uname -a

Does the Hifiberry only play mp3's? When I start a movie, the sound is comming from the monitor (HDMI)?

Try disabling "omxplayer" in settings/video/acceleration (although this is meant to be automatic).

In settings/video/acceleration I have these options:
Decoding method -> Hardware accelerated (of Software accelerated)
Allow hardware acceleration (OpenMax)

Should I disable OpenMax? I did btw, but no difference. When I play a movie I get sound from HDMI and mp3 from the Hifiberry.

Sounds like you are not using the latest version. Are you using build #0910 from:

At this moment I'm using:

You can stay with stable. You can play videos with dvdplayer using context menu then "play using dvdplayer" which should have audio.
You can make dvdplayer the default with advancedsettings.xml.

Milhouse's build #0910 should automatically use dvdplayer when using alsa, and has a number of improvements, but it is a test build using Helix which means you may find bugs and add-ons may not work if they haven't been updated.

Just installed build #0910.

Now I get the option to disable "omxplayer" in settings / video / acceleration

When I disable the "omxplayer" I get sound from the Hifiberry, when I play a video, but the sound is
schokking (Is that correct in English? I'm from the Netherlands btw.). The sound goes in fits and starts.
I hope you understand what I mean. It's difficult to discribe.

The problem above do not happen every time. For example, if I convert a DVD to * .MKV then it sounds good.

I'll go even further testing, with the sound. Thanks so far!

What I don't understand is that OpenElec starts with an error, when booting. Here is the output:

Try removing "snd_soc_bcm2708" from your hifiberry.conf - this module doesn't exist and is probably causing the exit status.

Yes, this works! Thanks!
