[Solved] rpi b+, no video out via hdmi to dvi

New volumio install, installs fine but no video is being driven out the hdmi via an hdmi to dvi cable.

The same rpi b+ booting from a noobs install does work, so the rpi and monitor do work…

tried all variants of

hdmi_drive=1
hdmi_force_hotplug=1
hdmi_safe=1

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Steve

Hi, and welcome.

Volumio is “headless” . There is no graphics output (no x-server). It’s controlled (and configured) over your network via web interface from another computer (tablet) and if needed via ssh. Check the install instructions for guidance on how to get started.

Understand on the headless, but trying some usb dacs, video can help.

After poking and trying several I missed that

gpu_mem=16hdmi_drive=2 was superceding the config I was invoking with

hdmi_drive=1
hdmi_force_hotplug=1
gpu_mem=16hdmi_drive=2

dropped the hdmi_drive=2 and all is fine with video output to hdmi to dvi cable.

thisis what I have to make it work, understand the first line isnt active but was trying many options as possible

hdmi_safe=1

hdmi_drive=1
hdmi_force_hotplug=1
gpu_mem=16

is that working and necessary to have video output HDMI ?
thanks
