The HiFiBerry Amp 2 is an integrated Amplifier and Sound Card HAT for the Raspberry Pi capable of playing audio at 24 bits/192kHz.
The Amplifier chip used is TAS5756M
Output Filtering
WARNING: while the part is rated up to 192kHz, there seems to be a low-pass filter applied to the amplifier to filter above 20kHz, see here: https://support.hifiberry.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/360014295118-Ultrasonic-frequency-response?mobile_site=true
Efforts to bypass the filter are ongoing. It should be possible to reconfigure the filter if it is a DSP filter, or remove the components if it is a hardware filter. According to the datasheet ( Tas5756m.pdf , page 60) the amplifier is commonly used with a passive LC lowpass filter.
Looking at the board, it seems as if the large black components next to the speaker output are the inductors, and the capacitors on either side are the other components in the filter. The datasheet discusses a filterless mode, so it should be possible to bypass the filter by removing those components and shorting the pads on either side of the inductor.
Configuration
Note that the following is encapsulated in the autopilot script Scripts:hifiberry, which can be executed with
python -m autopilot.setup.run_script hifiberry
Device Tree
In /boot/config.txt, remove or comment out the following to disable the built-in audio[1]:
dtparam=audio=on
And add the line:
dtoverlay=hifiberry-dacplus
ALSA
Optionally, you can make the card the default sound-card for ALSA by creating a /etc/asound.conf file with the following
pcm.!default { type hw card 0 } ctl.!default { type hw card 0 }
Troubleshooting
Most common:
- Check you're not using any of the reserved pins
- Make sure that pin 7 is in your
PULLUPS
pref - Check that your
OUTCHANNELS
pref is set to the correct channel that you are outputting to - Ensure that the
AUDIOSERVER
is set totrue
GPIO Usage
The following pins are reserved and can't be used for other purposes[2]:
Board Pins | BCM # | Use |
---|---|---|
3, 5 | 2, 3 | I2C Configuration |
12, 35, 38, 40 | 18-21 | Sound interface |
7 | 4 | Mute -- pulling low mutes (so pull it up!) |
