AudioLinux and NUC Troubleshooting and Tuning

[dctom]

Have just purchased audio linux and have made a USB drive from the downloaded image. My NUC has stared up from the USB but is just hanging at "hostname service" point. Any ideas?

Hi

Thanks for your reply. I made the USB drive on my  linux NUC machine using start up disc creator. I have restarted the  NUC and it is now working 😃- only problem is getting into  audiolinux to control it! - trying to get the network to work at the moment.

Help

I have got the 3.5.0 version of AL running my NUC i7 from a 32Gb USB drive. It is painfully slow and when it asks for a password I get an authentication failed message. Looking at the AL site the password is audiolinux but it does not work!!

thanks

 

I have tried audiolinux and audiolinux0 - very frustrating.

When I try and set up a connection to another computer it asks for a log in (no machine).

Yes I have a licence, will contact [email protected], thanks.

Still struggling to get  Audiolinux on the NUC to recognise the directly connected server worked fine with Ubuntu. I can share the internet from the server  but no network? Are there any network tips? 

Piero has been helping, he is on holiday at the moment, so dont want to pester him too much.

I have wired ethernet to a server computer which is bridged then directly connected to a NUC, the two machines can share internet access. 

Have managed to get the server to show audiolinux NUC now. 

I now want to play HQplayer from the server to the NUC, the NUC has got HQplayer and NAA installed. Not sure how to get NAA up and running on the NUC?

You may enable NAA in AL menu.

 

Thanks have got NAA running now but server not "seeing" the DAC in the settings menu in HQp with NAA as backend.

thanks

I have audiolinux installed on my endpoint NUC and it is networked - I have the desktop version of HQP on the NUC  - is HPQE the embedded version? do I need HQPE instead of desktop HQPlayer ? I do have NAA on the NUC.

Just to say I am using Piero's audiolinux OS ( https://www.audio-linux.com/ ) the endpoint - am I right in thinking HQPE is a standalone OS.

From what I have read the server with desktop HQp should be able to recognise my DAC when network audio is selected in the settings of HQp on the server with NAA running on the client (NUC) - maybe I am wrong in this? 

 

[dctom]

I guess I have little experience of this type of configuration - but it has gradually dawned on me you don't need to have HQp on the endpoint😕

I just need to get the NAA up and running.

Interestingly I have just installed HQp4 on both machines using ubuntu, there is now an option to run it in client mode on the endpoint and it is playing from the server but with no sound so far!!!

 

I would like to try the NAA on a USB stick, do you have a link for that image please?

 

[dctom]

Anyone tried the new AL 4.0 ?

 

Bit confused by the license  - is it a one off payment or a subscription.

I used a PH SR4 19 with my i7 NUC naa. Back in the day haha, romaz kicked off the novel way to improve SQ thread using 19v on his i7 NUC naa so that is what I used. Did not notice any improvement using 12v and using the lower voltage settings makes the PH 19 run warmer. I seem to remember the the general feeling was 19v was more dynamic. You should read the earlier section of "how to massively improve the sq thread, link below.

Like a lot of others have found, it varies from system to system ymmv, I use a high powered silent pc + vg power supply (in my case a SR7 T dual rail) server and don't use a naa anymore. This simpler connection has provided an improvement over naa for me.
