Audiolinux Server configurations, Software, Hardware, and Listening Impressions

Hi all,

 

I'm looking at how to change the period_count and buffer_size parameters in alsa for use with mpd and upmpdcli. I tried to add the parameters in .mpdconf but this does not work.

 

My .mpdconf :

audio_output {                                                                                                                              
        type            "alsa"                                                                                                              
        name            "PCM"                                                                                                               
        device          "hw:1,0"                                                                                                            
        auto_resample   "no"                                                                                                                
        auto_format     "no"                                                                                                                
        mixer_type      "disabled"                                                                                                          
        buffer_size     "100"                                                                                                               
        period_count    "3"                                                                                                                 
}

period_size: 5513                                                                                                                           
buffer_size: 22050  

Any idea on what is needed to change those settings. I used to play a lot with those in Daphile and would like to try them on this config.

 

Thanks

I have not succedded in installing hqplayer-embedded.

 

The yay -Sy hqplayer-embedded command shows errors :

 

error: failed retrieving file 'polkit-0.116-4-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst' from mirrors.evowise.com : The requested URL returned error: 404

error: failed retrieving file 'polkit-0.116-4-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst' from mirror.rackspace.com : The requested URL returned error: 404

error: failed retrieving file 'polkit-0.116-4-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst' from mirror.rackspace.com : The requested URL returned error: 404

warning: failed to retrieve some files

 

 

and it ends with :

error: failed to commit transaction (unexpected error)

Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.

Error installing repo packages

 

Is there an issue with the package ?

Thanks Piero, it worked now.

 

It is available on port 8088, however, I can't see in the list of upnp devices in bubbleupnpserver. Is there something to do to get it HQPlayer as an upnp renderer ?

I don't know what I did, but it started to work and is fine now...
