Pi Audio Drive Card not detected (At All)

RASPIAUDIO
1

I just received the RaspiAudio PiAudioDrive card, Stuck it to a Raspi 5 with Debian Bookworm, no desktop stricktly command line.
aplay -l or lspci doesn’t show any audio card, except the HDMI stuff.
I did the install suggested by raspiaudio. Nothing, it is not there!
The NVME shows via the pcie bus, but the audio card is missing in action.
Any help?
Thanks

Please try to update your Pi OS to the latest version.

Hi, thanks for your reply.
I used raspi imager, which should be the latest OS (Bookworm 64 bit).
The 32bit Bookworm throws errors when running the SSD HD Param etc.
Also, updated the 64 bit install (around 40-50 updates don’t remember exactly), the OS should be up to date.
PLEASE NOTE: This is a console only, no GUI. Perhaps a GUI install will add other libraries, that will not be installed with the headless install.
I don’t really need a GUI.
Card isn’t recognized by the console OS. The OS is a fresh install.
The card is powered by a separate power source around 2 Amps, no load is connected. I have a NVME SSD connected, which is recognized and working properly. Although, this is PCIE business.

Maybe this will help to trace it:
alsa-lib main.c:1541:(snd_use_case_mgr_open) error: failed to import hw:0 use case configuration -2
alsa-lib main.c:1541:(snd_use_case_mgr_open) error: failed to import hw:1 use case configuration -2

Cheers

I’ll prepare a GUI SD Card and see if the card shows.
Same result, no PIAudioDrive detected.
My two USB audio is detected.
One more edit:
The onboard Speaker seems to be missing, although I switched it off.
I do not need on board speaker, anyway.
