New Octo unable to setup

[dancyr]

I have Pi3 with latest raspbian (and RT kernel built -4.14.y-rt

i2s enable in /boot/config.txt as well as audioinjector addons :

I ran the modprobe series and in dmesg i see this :
[ 288.061013] cs42xx8 1-0048: failed to get device ID, ret = -121
[ 288.061313] cs42xx8: probe of 1-0048 failed with error -121
[ 289.669434] audioinjector-octo soc ASoC: CODEC DAI cs42448 not registered - will retry
[ 289.669453] audioinjector-octo soc snd_soc_register_card failed (-517)


and of course no devices from aplay -l

Any ideas, I just got the board 2 days ago and been trying everything including fresh install of raspbian
