Hi,
Just purchased an RPI4 with the Hifiberry Dac+ Pro hat. I've downloaded, burned and installed piCoreplayer on two different SD cards. With both cards, the system comes up just fine and is, initially, visible in LMS as "piCore player". Per instructions, I then select the "Hifiberry Dac+ (and Pro Amp) as the audio output device, pressed Save, and rebooted. Upon reboot, the output setting under Squeezelite Settings shows:
hw:Card=sndrpihiberry
The problem is that, upon reboot, it also shows the "Squeezelite is not running" message and, of course, it is not visible to LMS any more.
The alsa setting shows: 80, 4, (blank box), 1, (blank box)
Additional info: I also downloaded, and burned to an SD card, the Hifiberry OS. This worked as expected and allowed me to verify that it is not a hardware issue. With the Hifberry OS installed, and Squeezelite selected as the player, the RPI/Dac combo appeared in LMS and I was able to play music with no problems.
In piCoreplayer dmesg, this may be relevant....not sure since I'm not at all versed in Linux (or any other software---basically a tech ignoramus).

If someone could assist me in getting this running, I'd appreciate it. A couple weeks ago, got another RPI4 without a dac hat (connected to a USB dac) and it was a snap to set up and is running perfectly. But this RPI/hifiberry combination has given me fits. I googled all over and it seems very few people have had an issue with this combo and I did not see any obvious solutions.
Thanks!
