![]() ![]() ![]() I made the following changes in the file (located in /volumio/app/plugins/audio_interface/upnp) (you need the Debian Jessie packages and you need to use "sudo nano" /etc/apt//upmpdcli.list to add the file locations) Then i made some (quite a few actually) changes in some files and updated some parts of the build.įirst: get the latest UPMPDCLI build (currently 1.3.6) but no luck still MPD crashes and hardly able to play a song. I made a fresh new usb install disk with this dev. The development build, although lower version number, has the latest Linux (Debian) Kernel(s) and most recent ALSA drivers, etc. I was given the advice to try the current development build of Volumio. Here is the link to the thread i made at their forum. ![]() I was about to give up on using ESI dac and keep my RME playing, but with help from Volumio community i kept trying to get this particular configuration stable. MPD crashes and UPMPDCLI error's in the logfile. When i tried to use Linn Kazoo (with BubbleUpnp server and Volumio as open-home-renderer) things got worse 3 seconds sound, skip to next track. Usually the crash is triggered by us we change song, skip track, add tracks, clear playlist and so on. I could play songs or even albums fine with the ESI dac, but sometimes MPD (Music Player Daemon) crashes. I was sure these were caused by ESI dac under Linux, since the RME dac i bought meanwhile, did not have any problem at all and worked from the day i plugged it in the HAKAI > FLAWLESSLY! Somehow the problems described above are all related to using this dac.Īlthough ESI claims the dac is fully compatible with the newest ALSA drivers in Linux, i encountered all sorts of trouble. # Linn Kazoo control point, because i like it's simplicity and i'm used to it. # Music (FLAC) located on HAKAI NAS, running Open Media Vault NAS-software, Minimserver for local music files and BubbleUpnp server for creating a Volumio-open-home-renderer to be able to stream Qobuz (and Tidal). # Running Volumio on HAKAI *build as suggested, > USB > ESI Gigaport HD+ dac. I am not sure if it is configuration and the use of server(s) and control points- dependant, but to make sure, i'll start with my configuration and my findings during the long and frustrating road to musical bliss. No more freezes, MPD crashing, UPMPDCLI crashing, stop playing when switching or adding songs, etc. Since 2 days i've managed to run a stable Volumio build on HAKAI with ESI dac. I am making this post to help people who still didn't manage to run Volumio stable with ESI dac. ![]()
