You
must answer Y to removing linux-firmware and installing new
firmware packages
The great
advantage is that now the service checking every minute if the
application is assigned to the right group of cores is no more
necessary
You must have a kernel with cgroup v2 enabled
(Users of Ravenna daemon and kernel module should update driver with the option in Audio extra menu to fix compatibility with kernel 6.12)
-> You must re-configure isolated cores with the option in System menu
You must reboot after each change in isolated cores configuration
NEW realtime priority framework using systemd CPUSchedulingPriority
The great advantage is that now the rtapp service checking every minute if an application process has the right priority is no more necessary
rtapp will start however if the application does not accept systemd priority, but only for that specific application
-> You must re-configure realtime priority with the option in System menu
You must restart your active audio services or reboot after the update and after each priority change

Why
should you buy Audiolinux?
1) Audiolinux kernel with the
realtime patch will give audio applications a very high
priority with record CPU latency that can arrive at less
than 1 microsecond average on some systems2) Audiolinux V3/V4 kernels are compiled with x86_64_v3/ x86_64_v4 architecture, LTO FULL, 2000 Hz frequency and many patches including Audiolinux ones for a performance uplift from 10% to 36%!
Moreover pre-compiled optimized kernels are available for many architectures. If your CPU is not on the list you can ask support for a new optimized kernel that after will be updated regularly or you can compile the kernel automatically yourself
3) In V3/V4 versions applications and libraries are compiled with x86_64_v3/x86_64_v4 architecture
4) The proprietary application RTPRIORITY can assign specific realtime priority to your audiocard, audio application and network (rtirqs, rtapp, rtnet)
5) With proprietary application PPOWER you can choose and configure your CPU governor driver: acpi, intel pstate, amd pstate or amd pstate epp
6) A menu with more than 120 options with which even a system without a graphical desktop is easy to use
7) With ramroot option you can load the entire system to RAM for a record reactivity and general performance. This way you can run a system without drives
8) Full access to root will allow to install all applications available on linux and apply special configurations
9) Fast email support and remote Desktop support with AnyDesk if necessary
10) You can access Audiolinux from another PC with ssh/sftp, Web interface from a browser and NoMachine remoteDesktop in lxqt version
Audiolinux versions
Audiolinux classic headless is without graphical Desktop but a full set of menus. A little better in performance because of less memory used and less processes activeAudiolinux classic lxqt is with
graphical LXQt Desktop and all audio applications already
installed and tested. Audiolinux menus are included
Audiolinux headless and LXQt V3/V4
are completely rebuild OS with most applications and libraries
compiled with x86_64_v3 or x86_64_v4 and LTO with kernel optimized
for your specific CPU

MINI GUIDE
(clik on
images for full size display)
Main menu
INSTALLATION
--> You cannot install Audiolinux on a single partition but only to the full hard disk (Audiolinux image has 2 partitions, UEFI fat32 and linux ext4). The target drive will be deleted. Recommended minimum size is 32 GB.
We recommend to install Audiolinux first to USB stick and after copy the installation to internal drive with the option "COPY/BACKUP current installation to another drive" in System menu. Keep this USB installation, it will be useful if you want to install to a second PC or for emergency fix.
LINUX
To install audiolinux on external USB stick or internal Hard Disk, if you already have linux installed (-> change name to your version file name):
1) Boot from your linux installation and download the image
2) Verify that the image file is not corrupted with
sha256sum audiolinux_mini_730.img.gz
3) Find the hard disk address by typing
sudo fdisk -l
4) If, for example, the HD is /dev/sda, copy the image with
gunzip -c audiolinux_mini_730.img.gz | sudo dd of=/dev/sda bs=1M status=progress
(this will delete the hd, it is not necessary to format it previously)
5) Extend the ext4 partition until covering the remaining part of the hard disk (this will fix also GPT size errors. Note that you will need more than the default size for Roon database)
--> If you plan to use ramroot later, leave some unallocated space on the hdd for an extra partition or add another drive, otherwise, if you copy the music files into audiolinux partition, the size will become too big for booting to ram.
6) Power off the PC, unplug previous external linux installation and boot from the new HD/USB stick.
WINDOWS
If you install from Windows, you can use Rufus version 2.18 with option "dd"
MAC
If you install from MAC, see the guide here or you can use Etcher
HOW TO RESIZE AUDIOLINUX PARTITION
a) If you have Audiolinux LXQt: make a second installation on a USB stick, boot from the new installation and extend the ext4 partition on the old installation with gparted (easy, because the application has a GUI)
b) If you don't have Audiolinux LXQt: enable ramroot, reboot, select the option resize in system menu.
If you want to switch back to normal mode: reboot answering N to ramroot boot prompt at the beginning of boot, disable ramroot, reboot
--> If you have problems booting, consult our Booting Checklist
This is the official how-to, You can use also other methods that allow the cloning of an image with multiple partitions.

'Real priority could be different if more than one application is using RTAPP
In that case check REALTIME status in STATUS menu after 60s
RTAPP is decreasing priority following the order of APPS_DEFAULT applications with a step defined by PRIORITY_STEP in /etc/rtpriority/rtapp.conf to avoid 2 or more services with the same priority value'

Improved JACK option in Audio extra menu (only Audiolinux lxqt)
The advantage of using Jack is that you can add a VST plugin at the output of your player
1) If you want to use MPD with native Jack, configure MPD and start Jack with option 2 - MPD: start jack native, go to Audio menu and select 21 'MPD+JACK enable/disable (VST plugin compatible) *'
2) If you want to use another player (for example HQPlayer), enable Loopback device with option 1 - LOOPBACK enable, start Jack with option 3 - ALL OTHER PLAYERS: start jack plugin, configure your player output to looback device 0,0
*** Only PCM supported ***
*** There is not sampling frequency auto-switching, you must set you player to the same frequency defined for Jack ***
3) For installing VST plugins, see this Archlinux wiki page: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Audio_plugins_package_guidelines
Start Carla from Application menu in Audiolinux lxqt, add a plugin, select Patchbay tab and make these connections:
Canvas -> Show external:
Music Player Daemon or cloop -> Carla input -> Carla output -> system
Canvas -> Show internal:
Audio input -> VST plugin input -> VST plugin output -> Audio output
Some images of Carla configuration can be found here: https://www.audio-linux.com/ftp/temp/Carla/
Finally you could save your Carla configuration for example to /home/audiolinux/carla.carxp.and add the line
carla /home/audiolinux/carla.carxp
to Autostart in lxqt configuration
-> For realtime priority the value should increase this way:
MPD -> Jack -> IRQ
that is Jack priority must always be higher than player priority
-> Your previous /etc/jack/jack.conf will be saved as /home/audiolinux/Downloads/jack.conf.bak

This menu will switch from sox-dsd-git package to the new updated sox-ng-git that is compatible with dsd conversion options in Audio extra menu
During update you should answer y when asked to remove sox-dsd-git
Correction to EXTREME2: All but POLL only isolated cores in System menu -> BOOT mode to Extreme, Extreme2, Standard or Adaptative
'Do you want to apply to all isolated cores or to a subset?
For example if isolated cores are 2 3 4 5 and you want to apply extreme(2) c-state only to 2 3 4 you should type 2 3 4
Otherwise type y'

Now you can select which isolated cores you want to set to extreme(2) in System menu -> BOOT mode to Extreme, Extreme2, Standard or Adaptative -> EXTREME2: All but POLL only isolated cores (EXTREME: All but POLL/C1 only isolated cores)
Added 'Do you want to apply to all isolated cores a to a subset?
For example if isolated cores are 2,3,4,5 and you want to apply extreme(2) c-state only to 2,3,4 you should type 2,3,4
(probably not a good idea to set an extreme c-state to the core where you have isolated network irq)
Otherwise type y'
Added a delay of 30s to the isolated_app systemd service
This could solve the problem that network irqs were not isolated because network was not fully established after a (re)boot
You can increase the value editing as root /etc/systemd/system/isolated_app.service
