Here in the earlier steps you are setting the username and password:

 

sudo hqplayerd -s hqplayer hqplayer

 

So it is "hqplayer" and "hqplayer"

 

Thanks music playing.

[Outlaw]

Thanks Miska with a little guidance all is good.

No, the "systemctl restart hqplayerd" will start it. But you'll need to reboot to switch to my current kernel. It depends a bit if it becomes default or not. I think currently you either need to manually select it in boot loader menu, or edit grub configuration.

So if it is up and running does it mean your custom kernel is working ?

No, it may be working with the default kernel as well. You can do "uname" with "-a" argument to see which kernel you are running. (sorry, but Cloudflare is again blocking post based on what commands are written there, even though it doesn't make any sense what they decide to block)

[Miska]

For the newer Ubuntu builds with AMD GPU support, add following steps prior to installing hqplayerd package:

 

wget -q -O - https://repo.radeon.com/rocm/rocm.gpg.key | sudo apt-key add -
echo 'deb [arch=amd64] https://repo.radeon.com/rocm/apt/debian/ xenial main' | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/rocm.list
sudo apt update

You need to mount it by editing /etc/fstab so that it gets mounted at boot time.

Yes, provided that you've added the AMD ROCm/HIP repository already earlier. But note that the above filename is wrong, latest version is 4.20.2-57.

Hi Miska.When using HQPlayer with Roon should volume in Roon be set to fixed or device volume ?

Leave as default, which I guess is device volume, in which case it controls HQPlayer's volume.

Also what do you recommend for volume settings min and max ? I control volume through my proccessor

[Outlaw]

Hi Miska.What do you recommend for volume min and max in HQPlayer when controlling volume from my processor ? Thanks

If you are NOT using HQP’s digital volume control, then just set Vol Max to -3 and Vol Min -60, which are the default values. Then make sure volume control knob is turned all the way up (-3) which is full clockwise. The Vol Min is a bit arbitrary.

 

If you do decide to use the HQP digital volume control then you will to adjust Vol Max to something like -30 or -20 in case you accidentally hit max volume you won’t blow thing up.

Using HQPplayer embedded no control knob ?

I have desktop, not embedded but guessing there is some means of controlling the volume. Otherwise not much point in the Vol Max and Vol Min settings.

 

Why not take a bold move and try to figure this out on your own before asking lots more questions? We are all pulling for you.

I thought I was on a forum ? Aren't forums about asking  questions to get advice from other forum members.

[Miska]

Embedded has startup volume setting and volume controls available both on the front page and also through HQPlayer Client, HQPDcontrol, Roon or UPnP Control Point.

So just leave at max -3 min -60.And start up volume -3

You are, but this is not a support forum. I am sure that when @ericucosaid "we are all pulling for you" he meant that we all want to help you. Advice is given, but you would not go to a forum on how to insert a plug in a wall socket, would you?! 

Don't you worry Embedded is not going to explode on you!
