Menu update 124 with new options in expert menu:

9 "ENABLE/DISABLE realtime manual assignment"

(this will disable manual priority assignment standard or extreme but not general priority as managed by realtime kernel)

10 "Change ucode to AMD/Intel" --> Ryzen users should activate AMD option!

WiFi script hotfix now will remove previous attempts configuration (wpa_supplicant).

Roon database transfer script will move the full directory /var/roon not only the database (otherwise in ram mode you should save playlists each time etc.)

 

Hello, by default « ucode » is associated to intel ?

Hello, the 2.0 is available ?

That there is now a password when you select menu update in Update menu.

 

Note that Audiolinux 2.0 needs  a fresh install.
Upgrade from version 1.5.0 would be very difficult: too many changes in the underlying arch base.

thanks, I will do a fresh install. What is the purpose of this password when updating menu ?

[Patatorz]

ok thanks : understood

 

[Patatorz]

How to know the defaults parameters linked to the menus (green ,orange (default), fire, Auto (gnerated by Audiolinux menu), custom1, custom2, custom3) ?

 

thanks 

[Patatorz]

Thanks. Could have been interesting to put it somewhere on the website....anyway will check tomorrow 🙂

Hello, just installed the 2.0 on my new setup (Supermicro / Xeon / M2 Samsung 970 evo plus). No problem so far and very smooth. I will deep dive like @Bricki in the sound quality and the different options.

 

Great job Piero !

I have got audiolinux 2.0 up and running on my endpoint NUC and so far I'm liking the sound quality change very much.... It seems to be smoother, less forced with more ease and a cleaner sound....and I don't even have ramroot working yet.

 

All I need running on this NUC is roonbridge so I'm going to have to remove all unused applications to try and get ramroot working on my 4gb RAM.

 

Last time I used yaourt to remove roon server and hqplayer.... what can I use with audiolinux 2.0? What commands and syntax do I need to get right to remove all applications except for roon bridge?

 

Hi Bricki, which profile do you use ?

Hello Piero,

 

i have a friend who changed the pi3 of the metrum ambre for the pi4. I bringed my ambre with my pi3 and we used the same OS (sorry gentooplayer as it was available for both pi3 and pi4). The result was really great with the pi4 versus the pi3 on the system of the friend : more details, more fluidity and more weight. I need now to convert my ambre with the pi4.

 

I also have the 4go version so would be happy to test the ram root 🙂

 

im ready for testing if needed.

Just installed the AudioLinux 1.0 for Pi4 on my Metrum Ambre. Seems ok as of now. Will start to play with settings.

 

Thanks Piero

Hello, I use a jcat network netcard under audiolinux. It seems that JPLay is providing under windows some tweaks for this network card (see attachment). Marcin, under the jcat thread is mentioning that he has limited knowledge on linux. According to you is it possible to tweak the same parameters under audiolinux ? 

 

best regards
