04/06/2025 NEW
Audiolinux versions 7.0.0 for headless and 9.0.0 for lxqt!
Happy new
year!
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 interfaces 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_700.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_700.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.

squeezelite, mpd and raspotify configuration options in Audio menu have been changed to use the full address of the card for compatibility with Diretta and to avoid possible card number change after a reboot
This menu will change rtla (used for some options in realtime tests) to specific V3 or V4 compatible packages
hqplayer_input option adapted to the new isolated cores and priority framework
The option has been improved
Note 1: you must stop sound playback and wait a few seconds before switching to a file with a different sampling rate
Note 2: you should use it only for audio applications not supporting UPnP, for example Raspotify

Both realtime and isolated cores configuration are now using everywhere address/iSerial of the card
This way the assigned irqs will always be the correct ones, even if the system changes them after a reboot
rtnet application has been removed since now Ethernet priority is integrated in irq configuration
The new rtpriority application 2.2 compatible with the new scripts is installed automatically
For the expert user, now a change in the isolated configuration file with the corresponding option will be applied without the procedure of re-configuring all the groups of isolated cores etc.
With this new menu you may need to re-configure isolated cores and/or realtime priority
Fixed: multiple irqs corresponding to the same iSerial were not assigned to the group of isolated cores
Fixed: audio services no more isolated were not set to the default not isolated cores
Note 1: If you are using Diretta Host with the recent options CpuSend and CpuOther you should assign a group of isolated cores to Diretta and set the 2 options to a different core (or cores) of the same group in /opt/diretta-alsa/setting.inf
Note 2: Not all cards will permit to set priority. If you want to see the processes for which it is possible, go to console and type:
ps -eo pid,comm | grep -v grep | grep irq/
Note 3: After a reboot, the right irq priority will be applied after 30s when kernel has completed irq configuration
Note 4: Application priority could be applied after a minute if rtapp is necessary for that application
-> Before thinking that something is wrong, please reboot the system!
Fixed little bug in scaling driver script not removing amd_pstate=guided before enabling another driver
Added a list of all system priorities to 3 'REALTIME status' in Status menu
Special updates script will remove a wrong /etc/systemd/system/diretta_alsa.service in Audiolinux V4
The right service will be automatically rebuild starting Diretta Host
If you start HQPlayer as root the auth file for Web login at ipaddress:8088 will be copied automatically to /etc/hqplayer/

Updated camilladsp gui configuration. You should re-configure camilladsp with the option in Audio extra menu
Web Interface 1 (wetty) disabled because incompatible with last nodejs
Otherwise wetty will produce a lot of coredump files in /var/lib/systemd/coredump/ that could fill your installation drive
Moreover it was a security risk and last upstream version is not working
Please use ssh audiolinux@ipaddress (recommended) or the other Web Interface at ipaddress:5001
General cleaning of special update scripts
Improved Diretta scripts in Audio extra menu are now compatible with Diretta salsa
If you are using Diretta you should update the packages diretta-alsa-daemon, diretta-alsa-dkms, diretta-memory-player if installed and reboot
The new diretta-alsa-daemon is using the systemd service diretta_alsa instead of diretta_alsa_single and it should be changed automatically with menu update if enabled
