is the first plug & play realtime audio system
based on Archlinux with programmed IRQ and
application realtime priority
Audio
latency at 44.1 kHz < 1 ms depending on hardware
configuration.
Incredibly low processor latency (average 2-6 microseconds on
fairly powerful processors)
Boot time 10/15 s
Full menu system
RTIRQ for automatic IRQ priority assignment
RTAPP for automatic application priority assignment
Compatible audio applications: HQPlayer and HQPlayer
embedded (with CUDA
acceleration, if you install nvidia closed source drivers),
HQPlayer Network Audio Daemon, MPD (with optional upmpdcli UPnP media
renderer), Logitech Media Server + Squeezelite, Jriver Media Center, Roon
(roonserver and roonbridge)
Audiolinux can be configured as headless server
Remote control with Unified Remote
for smartphone.
NoMachine
server included (lxqt version) for remote Desktop control. Now
you can start headless without graphical Desktop and access
audiolinux from smartphone or PC in a virtual Desktop
identical to the default one with NoMachine!
AirPlay support with Shairport-sync (audio only)
From version 1.9.7 you can load the
entire system to RAM as an option. For this you need at least
16GB RAM (8 GB for AudioLinux headless). There is the option to
save the entire system in "ram mode"

AUDIOLINUX
HEADLESS/LXQT mini GUIDE
* In the last versions Audiolinux has 7 configuration menus and
most of what is reported below can be made directly with menus
--> For general support consult first the wiki at
https://wiki.archlinux.org
--> If
you have installed to internal drive, you should have also
audiolinux on a USB stick, in case of operations that cannot be
made from inside (boot problems, hard disk check, etc.)
PASSWORDS
user, ssh, NoMachine:
audiolinux
sudo, root, samba:
audiolinux0
hqplayerd web interface:
user:
audiolinux
password
audiolinux (or
audiolinux0)
FILE EDITING
* In audiolinux lxqt you can use
pcmanfm-qt file explorer (click on the red icon on the bottom bar
for root editing)
An easy method to work with files for edit, copy etc. is to use
Midnight Commander. Type
mc
for starting it
otherwise you can use nano
nano full-file-path
Example:
nano /etc/fstab
ROOT USER
How to switch to root user:
Type
su
and give the password
audiolinux0
You can return to normal user with
exit
For poweroff and reboot, you can use sudo in a user (not root)
terminal:
sudo poweroff
sudo reboot
RAM MODE
Ramroot option is the last that
should be enabled once your system is fully configured. It is
recommended at least 16GB RAM for lxqt version (8 GB for
AudioLinux headless)
Before enabling ramroot you should edit
as root the file /etc/ramroot.conf For example, if you
have 16000 MB total RAM, you could give 4000 to RAM memory and
12000 to ZRAM
To load the entire system at boot, type (as root)
ramroot -E
To disable ramroot
ramroot -D
--> if you are using Roon, please
take into account that Roon database will take some space, please
be sure that the drive and ram size are enough
When in ram mode you can use the command
ramsave This command
will save the system when in ram mode (otherwise all changes will be
lost)
For system modification and system update we suggest however to
boot in normal mode answering N to ramroot boot prompt. Modifications
to the file /etc/fstab will be saved only in normal mode. For
kernel update you must disable ramroot, see section
UPGRADING THE SYSTEM
REMOTE CONNECTION
* In audiolinux lxqt you can connect to
graphical Desktop with NoMachine, if you install it in Windows,
Linux, smartphone. With NoMachine remote Desktop you can start
headless without graphical Desktop and access AudioLinux in a
virtual Desktop identical to the default one. After your
configuration is finished, you can switch back to headless with a
simple logout.
* From Audiolinux menu 214 new Web Interface at
ipaddress://5001touch screen compatible and with search function.
To install it go to INSTALL menu and select 0 "Install new web
interface 2 (beta)"
You can enable/disable it in EXPERT menu selecting 10 "WEB INTERFACE
2 enable/disable"
Search function is very useful: typing main, audio, system, update
or expert you can see on the left column the options of classic
menu.
You can also connect remotely with a browser at the address
http://ipaddress:8500
You can access audiolinux headless from another computer with ssh:
ssh audiolinux@ip-address
If you want to use a file browser from another pc, you can use the
protocol sftp
sftp://audiolinux@ip-address
--> you can check the ip address for audiolinux with
ip addr show
--> From Windows you can use Putty
--> From Android JuiceSSH
UNIFIED REMOTE
* In audiolinux lxqt you can control your system from your
smartphone or tablet with unified remote. See
https://www.unifiedremote.com/
To enable it, start lxqt configuration, go to Session
settings/Autostart and enable "Unified Remote"
Unified remote is started with the command:
opt/urserver/urserver --daemon
NETWORK
Audiolinuxm has an automatic configuration that will permit to
connect immediately after the first boot
However, for a more stable network configuration, follow the steps
reported below.
---> if you have more than one card, add a second configuration
file in /
etc/systemd/network/
Look for your network name with
networkctl
Example:
[audiolinux@archlinux ~]$ networkctl
1
lo
loopback
carrier unmanaged
2
enp3s0
ether
routable configured
If your network is
enp3s0 (yours will be most probably
different) change as root /
etc/systemd/network/auto.network
from
[Match]
Name=en*
[Network]
DHCP=yes
to
[Match]
Name=enp3s0
[Network]
DHCP=yes
and reboot
DHCP=yes will allow both ipv4 and ipv6
See wiki at
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/systemd-networkd
You can change from DHCP to a static address modifying the file
/etc/systemd/network/auto.network
from
[Match]
Name=en*
[Network]
DHCP=yes
to
[Match]
Name=en*
[Network]
Address=192.168.1.5/24
Gateway=192.168.1.1
DNS=8.8.8.8
--> change Address, Gateway and DNS to your preferred values.
For WiFi, provided that your adapter is recognized by linux,
a simple how-to can be found here
The
relevant wiki section is here:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Systemd-networkd#Wireless_adapter
For
wpa-supplicant:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/WPA_supplicant
AUDIO AND OTHER SERVICES
* In audiolinux lxqt MPD, LMS,
squeezelite and Spotify (spotifyd) are already installed.
In audiolinux headless Roon and HQPlayer embedded are already
installed.
The new Menu is already prepared for MPD, LMS, Squeezelite and
Spotify. For installing these applications, go to the section OTHER
AUDIO APPLICATIONS
With systemctl you can stop, start, restart or enable the services at
boot.
In the commands where there is not "--user" you must switch
to root user (see above)
Examples:
Starting and enabling hqplayerd:
systemctl --user start hqplayerd
systemctl --user enable hqplayerd
Starting and enabling Roon:
systemctl start roonserver
systemctl enable roonserver
Starting and enabling naa:
systemctl --user start networkaudio
systemctl --user enable networkaudio
You can stop or disable, changing start to stop and enable to disable.
If you need to enable samba:
systemctl enable smb
systemctl enable nmb
and reboot
Note: the directories
/home/audiolinux/Downloads and
/home/audiolinux/Music
are already set as samba share
--> For showing enabled systemd services:
systemctl list-unit-files | grep enabled
For user services:
systemctl --user list-unit-files | grep enabled
Note 1: You can add some delay in starting hqplayerd or
networkaudio. For this, go as root to
/usr/lib/systemd/user/networkaudio.service
or
/usr/lib/systemd/user/hqplayerd.service
and take out the # in front of the line
# ExecStartPre=/bin/sleep 30
Default is 30 seconds, you can change this to a different value.
Note 2: When configuring hqplayerd at
http://localhost:8088/auth
or
http://localhost:8088/config please be sure to select Scope
--> user at top left, since audiolinux is using the user directory
/home/audiolinux/.hqplayer/ for configuration files and license
Note 3: If you are using Roonbridge in more than one computer
take into account that:
"RoonBridge generates and writes out a
unique id into its data directory on first run and uses that to
identify itself to RoonServer. Clear out /var/roon on the second
device (or hunt down and delete the RAATServer/Settings/unique_id
file) and it will generate itself a new one next time it starts up."
UPGRADING THE SYSTEM
For updating a single application:
pacman -Sy (update the database)
pacman -S name-of-application
if this application is in AUR database (as HQPlayer, Roon, etc.)
yay -S name-of-application
Example for updating hqplayerd and roon:
yay -S hqplayer-embedded roonserver roonbridge
For updating the system (expert users)
yay -Syu
For system modification and system update you must boot in normal
mode answering N to ramroot boot prompt.
OTHER AUDIO APPLICATIONS
* In audiolinux lxqt mpd, logitechmediaserver, Squeezelite and
Spotify are already installed
In headless last versions you have the option to install these
packages from update menu
Squeezelite + LMS installation:
pamac build logitechmediaserver-git squeezelite-git
Configuration file for squeezelite:
/etc/squeezelite.conf
For listing available devices:
squeezelite -l
The systemd service can be started with
systemctl start squeezelite
MPD and UPnP installation:
pamac build mpd upmpdcli
Configuration file for MPD:
/home/audiolinux/.mpdconf
The systemd service can be started with
systemctl start my-mpd
-> Please note that these commands will install the application and
many dependencies, so audiolinux size will increase and as a
consequence boot time in ram mode.
INSTALLING NEW KERNEL
In the last versions you can update kernel from
audiolinux update menu
Installing new audiolinux realtime kernel.
Go to
https://www.audio-linux.com/ftp/packages/kernel/last//linux-rt-bfq
and download at least
linux-rt-bfq-* and
linux-rt-bfq-headers-*
After install the new kernel with
pacman -U followed by the
names of the packages.
*** If you are running in ram mode, reboot answering N at boot prompt
to boot in normal mode.
-> If you cannot connect to a monitor/keyboard you must disable
ramroot before updating the kernel:
1) DISABLE ramroot with
ramroot -D
2) Reboot
3) Install the new kernel
4) Reboot
5) Eventually re-enable it with
ramroot -E
6) Reboot
REALTIME PRIORITY
For testing:
Type
rttest
For checking realtime status:
rtstatus
Manual realtime priority is controlled by
rtirq and
rtapp.
In standard
/etc/rtirq.conf priority is given to usb xhci
devices:
RTIRQ_NAME_LIST="xhci"
Change
xhci to
snd if you are using an internal audio
card
Suggested realtime configurations:
1) Standard
/etc/rtirq.conf
RTIRQ_PRIO_HIGH=90
RTIRQ_PRIO_DECR=5
/etc/rtapp/rtapp.conf
MAX_PRIORITY="80"
2) Extreme
/etc/rtirq.conf
RTIRQ_PRIO_HIGH=95
RTIRQ_PRIO_DECR=2
/etc/rtapp/rtapp.conf
MAX_PRIORITY="70"
Max possible priority is set system-wide at 98. Higher priorit will
increase the CPU load.
HOW TO INSTALL NVIDIA PROPRIETARY
DRIVERS
* In
audiolinux lxqt you can install all the nvidia packages with
pacman -S nvidia-dkms nvidia-settings nvidia-utils
opencl-nvidia
--> This is necessary for
enabling CUDA acceleration in HQPlayer, if you have a nvidia card.
You can install the nvidia proprietary
drivers with
pacman -Sy
pacman -S nvidia-dkms nvidia-utils opencl-nvidia
After you should add the section "Device" to /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/xorg.conf
Section "ServerFlags"
Option "BlankTime" "0"
Option "StandbyTime" "0"
Option "SuspendTime" "0"
Option "OffTime" "0"
EndSection
Section "Device"
Identifier "Nvidia
Card"
Driver "nvidia"
VendorName "NVIDIA
Corporation"
Option "NoLogo"
"true"
Option "Coolbits" "4"
EndSection
Optionally you could blacklist the open
source driver "nouveau" creating the file /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
with the following content:
blacklist nouveau

completely
changed using
c-state
script. Now
CPU "sleep"
states can be
changed "on
the fly". With
this and other
options
Audiolinux
will not
depend on
kernel line
(and
bootloader)
since all
configurations
are made
during boot.
It will be
also more
easily
portable to
other
architectures.
2) ISOLATE
CORES option
16 "ISOLATED
CPU CORES
configuration"
completely
changed. Now
you can
isolate and...
de-isolate CPU
cores without
changing

periodically
and will make
the necessary
changes.
4) Improved 0

Audiolinux headless 2.0.0 and lxqt 4.0.0 are out! You can read the
release notes on the first column where you can find some more
information about the new PROFILES MENU
14/10/2019
IMPORTANT notice about update:
The
updating in Audiolinux is done with
1) Audiolinux menu
2) Kernel. This is compiled by audiolinux with some changes if
necessary (Note: A full system update could be necessary)
3) System update, not controlled by Audiolinux. This is
normal Archlinux update.
A normal user does not need to make a system update.
Audiolinux menu update is enough
Audiolinux will release a new
version every 2 months with full package update, if the user
want to reinstall an updated OS.
Taking into consideration what is reported above, the
last system update from version 1.5.0 is problematic for normal
users. ...And also kernel update will not work correctly
without a system update.
This
is a normal occurrence in linux "rolling release" like
Audionlinux/Archlinux, it is not relative to a bug in Audiolinux
scripts.
Linux
expert users could fix this, other should wait Audiolinux version
2.0 coming the 1st November
11/10/2019
New menu 126
needs a manual
intervention,

New update
version 0.7
for Audiolinux
Raspberry Pi3
04/09/2019
To avoid
problems
upgrading from
kernel 4.19.x
to 5.2.x, I
suggest, when
updating the
kernel, to go
to Audiolinux
update menu
and 1) System
update (before
was update all
other
packages) 2)
Roon update
(this is
because roon
is
distributing
the linux
package
without build
number) 3)
Update kernel
4) Select
Clean on the
main menu 5)
Reboot
