It says there are missing dependencies, this gets fixed by "sudo apt install -f". Just in case you can then also run "sudo dpkg --configure --pending". That should do it.

Of course, only time will tell, but what do you think?

 

Has been covered from many angles in this thread.  You might find Intel extreme processors are (closer to) being targeted and examine that, as yet undeveloped conversationally, avenue.

 

Pertinent here is the benchmarks used in your linked article don't reflect loads produced by HQP4.  Also the synthetic limitations imposed on tested processors appear aimed to further site traffic more than define a substantial metric relevant to our usage.  Nearly every outlet in possession of the new AMD chips is succumbing to inventive reporting.

 

 

 

@Miska @The Computer Audiophile applying for pre-release examples of hardware in their respective trades might be an idea for them to consider exploring on the other hand.  I'm quite sure it would be a welcome advancement to one or both's efforts here.  Processor/mb primarily, but there are potentially other mass produced items of interest that approval might yield.  AMD GPU CUDA competitor development for instance might require a partner program or 10,000.  Or the EVGA CEO's pet audiophile projects.  

 

Food for thought.  No need to reply off topic to HQP4 discussion.

My initial Google search indicates that Intel Extreme Procs cost around $2K and run on $300+ motherboards. I won't spend that amount on any computer. Any computer you buy is almost immediately obsolete, so that kind of pricing doesn't make sense to me. If I were in a business situation where not having that processing power was costing me money, that would be a justification, but I'm not.

 

The benchmarks and the synthetic limitations (good word choice!) in the linked article are meant to illustrate whether the new 7nm AMD chips process more Instructions Per Cycle (IPC) than the older 14nm process Intel CPU's. In other words, when equalized, which chips are more efficient. The AMD won that comparison. 

 

In fact, Forbes, PC World, Digital Trends, TechRadar, Tom's Guide and AnandTech (I could link more sources...) tested the new AMD chips against Intel without any synthetic limitations. All of them found that the new AMD chips clearly outperform comparable Intel chips in all situations where multi-threaded processing is involved. This was not surprising since AMD greatly improved the quality of their chips (read the articles for details, if you like), the quantity (12 - 16 vs 8 ) of their cores and they have 3x the cache of Intel's Extreme Procs. Only if single-threaded performance is your primary concern, is Intel currently the way to go. And this testing was performed with the currently available AMD 12 core chip. I'm holding out for their forthcoming 16 core chip. 

 

How well these new AMD chips will perform with HQP remains to be seen. Obviously, I like AMD, but whoever can make a reasonably priced chip that can do HQP EC DSD512 will get my money.

 

Sorry if all of this is too far off-topic, but my current focus regarding HQP is finding a server powerful enough to make the most of the new EC modulators Jussi has recently created.

That is one of the bugs in the Ravenna ALSA driver... It doesn't start playback again after stopping once, unless the entire device is closed and reopened...

 

 

Hi Jussi,

 

Does HQPlayer OS officially support Ravenna ALSA driver yet?

 

Or still issues?

 

I see there is a July 2nd driver update with a bunch of fixes:

Up to this point everything is normal. But here I see typos and extra double-quote.

 

Should be

sudo dpkg --configure --pending

Some of the recent CPUs are not so bad price, like the i7-8086K I just got (last piece of local stock) and the i9-9900K.

 

Not extreme edition, but fairly good.

I will also get one of the 16 core parts and see. On my i7-6950X I've almost got DSD256 working, but it seems to depend on day and time whether it works or not. Most of the load is on few cores and they lack clock frequency to push through and cap at 100%. Clocks end up being around 3.3 - 3.5 GHz with Turbo boost on that CPU.

 

At this point, I'm happy if DSD256 works. I will certainly continue trying to make the algorithm spread the load better.

Isn’t that what a forum is for receiving help ?

[Miska]

Please, I'd rather not become generic Linux command line tech support over email either. I just don't have time for it.

 

To avoid adding lot of noise to the forum threads, it would be better to send any possible logs or console copy-pates over email.

[Outlaw]

Okay I give up.If can’t try can’t buy.Was hoping to resolve this but I guess not.

The new Ravenna driver version has solved the bug in playback and it seems to work with HQPlayer.

@Outlaw there is a typo in your command "sudo apt install - f"  it looks like there is a space between - f, try the following "sudo apt install -f"
