Re: Volumio.

The first thing that comes to mind is the audio buffer setting. Maybe this new version has a different default. Try increasing it to see if it makes any difference.

0.20.21 serious? Or typo?
I take that back. 0.21.xx is better. I was distracted by some "sound" qualities, not musicality.

Re: Debian 9 Stretch

I think mpd is already doing the converting, which is why it's stuttering. It has to get down to 16/44.1 to be output

Re: Debian 9 Stretch

Do you have minimserver? You could specify to convert flac above 16/44.1 to wav or flac 16/44.1. That might still let you use 256.

Re: Debian 9 Stretch

I used the build it yourself method originally listed. I think the audio buffer size has a greater impact on the 0.20.xx versions.

Re: Debian 9 Stretch

Yes, 0.20.21
Maybe it suits my system more than the later versions. It sounds more live and emotional to me.

Re: Debian 9 Stretch

After more variations, I've got it to sound the best it has yet. I'm finding MPD 0.20.21 the best sounding version. Why that's different to my previous thoughts are I hadn't realized the mpd.conf file didn't have an audio_buffer setting, so it was using the default 4096. Once I put it to 256, wow. I...

Re: Road Runner 2 - HAKAI 5

With the 3160 motherboard and no keyboard connected I get 5 beeps as well. That's all it's telling you.
This doesn't happen with the 3050 motherboard.

Re: Debian 9 Stretch

Just tried 0.21.4, still no WAV playback. I might have been imagining it, but it might not have sounded as good as 0.21.3? I've gone back to 0.21.3 anyway.

Re: Debian 9 Stretch

I've just tried playing some WAV files, and they aren't playing. They worked in Volumio with the updated MPD and upmpdcli. I'm using MPD 0.21.3 and upmpdcli 1.3.8 Just did a comparison with MPD 0.20.21, which is what I have on my Volumio disk. It doesn't sound as good as 0.21.3, but it plays the WA...

You can disable the service at start up I guess and reboot

Code: Select all

sudo systemctl disable volumio
reboot
You will have to manually start volumio with

Code: Select all

sudo systemctl start volumio
That doesn't disable volumio, it still starts on reboot.

Re: Volumio.

Is there a way to disable Volumio on startup? For me the system environment on the Volumio install works for everything (with updated mpd etc), where as the Stretch install has some issues for me.

Re: Debian 9 Stretch

I've managed to install Debian Stretch and it does sound better than Volumio. One thing I'm struggling with is wifi. I have a usb dongle that was working fine with Volumio, no driver needed. I'm not sure how to get it working. I'm trying to use wpa_supplicant, but I don't know how to install it. Wou...

Re: Debian 9 Stretch

Sopper, in your testing of various software elements, do you think it's worthwhile testing mpd 0.20.23 vs 0.21.3 in Stretch? Just to confirm the later version is better.

It seems there would only be 3 versions that could be tested. The June release that I think everyone wold have. The development build from April, and the new one recently released.
