Audiolinux lxqt release notes
Version 8.1.0
1) Full system update
2) Kernel linux-audiolinux-rt version 6.10.2 LTO
3) Menu 737
Improved Diretta memory play script 10 'DIRETTA memory play' (Audio extra
menu)
Now is possible to select Diretta Target and use the seek option
In 8 'COPY/BACKUP current installation to another drive' (System menu)
added a check that /mnt directory is not already mounted to some drive and
will copy files only if the target destination drive is really mounted
Menu update will not change the list of applications with realtime
priority used by rtapp and saved to /etc/rtpriority/rtapp.conf
In the option 13 'REALTIME PRIORITY configuration' -> 4) Configure IRQ
priority you can add video card to the list of devices with realtime
priority
This is not generally recommended, but you could try it if you are using
for example NVIDIA Cuda for HQPlayer
Improved Ravenna audio over IP configuration
Added 4) Recommended system settings to 6 'RAVENNA/AES67 audio over IP
installation' (Audio extra menu) with the following content:
0) If you have 2 Ethernet outputs, go to System menu -> 'NETWORK
configuration (Bridge, DHCP, Static IP, DNS)', enable bridge and conenct
one output to router and the other directly to Ravenna DAC
1) Disable rtapp and rtirqs in System menu -> 'REALTIME PRIORITY
configuration'
2) If you have 2 Ethernet ports and the Ravenna DAC is connected DIRECTLY
to one, you could enable rtnet in System menu -> 'REALTIME PRIORITY
configuration' with a priority of 90
3) Disable Ethernet card Power saving in Expert menu -> 'NETWORK/USB
power saving'
4) Activate Merging configuration in Expert menu -> 'NETWORK CARD
configuration' taking off # in front of the corresponding lines
5) Examples of NADAC configuration with ravenna-alsa daemon can be found
here:
https://www.audio-linux.com/images/ravenna1.png
https://www.audio-linux.com/images/ravenna2.png
6) Merging documentation:
https://merging.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/PUBLICDOC/pages/4817173/RAVENNA+ASIO+recommended+Network+Adapter
Added Roon library and settings periodic backup to 9 'ROONSERVER backup'
(audio menu):
1 - Select backup directory and default activation time
2 - Backup now
3 - Enable/disable periodic backup
4 - Restore
5 - Exit
Now is possible to set ENERGY value for intel pstate driver in 17 'CPU
FREQUENCY SCALING (driver, governor, frequency, turbo)'
Added options
10 'DIRETTA memory play'
11 'DIRETTA memory play configuration'
to Audio extra menu
These options will install and configure Diretta Memory Player
While Diretta Host is sending your music to a virtual card, Diretta Memory
Player will load your music files to RAM and send them to Diretta Target
without using Alsa on the host
This approach could improve the audio quality but you will not be able to
use your preferred player (including upsampling, convolution etc.) and the
selection of files to be played it's not so easy
In alternative you can control Memory Player on Audiolinux with the
Windows Memory Play Controller that you can download from Diretta site
Enabling Memory Player will disable automatically Diretta Host
Please be sure that Diretta target is running on your endpoint PC
Options for disabling Linux journal and watchdog temporarily removed in
Expert menu

With this new version you can set irq priority for more than one card
even if you don't set a generic device
Updated SHOW configuration in Main menu to display x86_64_v4
Kernel installation and ucode scripts will now remove creation of
fallback initramfs image, since Audiolinux image is already configured
to include all drivers
WiFi configuration script does not remove previous Ethernet
configuration any more
The option 12 'CPU ucode and scaling driver to AMD/Intel' will update
Audiolinux kernel configuration following Archlinux 'mkinitcpio hook
migration and early microcode':

Ethernet card irq to a specific group
This configuration will work even if Ethernet irq is changing after a
reboot
In Isolated cores script now you can type video to isolate your video
card irq to a specific group
Be sure that you have only one card active. If for example you have a
nvidia card but also a CPU integrated card, you should disable one of
them in BIOS

acpi_cpufreq)
1 Scaling governor
2 Scaling governor energy (only amd_pstate)
3 Fixed Frequency (only acpi)
4 Turbo boost
5 CPU FREQUENCY SCALING for isolated cores
6 EXIT
Now Audiolinux is supporting the new driver amd_pstate_epp on custom
kernel. If this driver is missing in your installed kernel, system will
use acpi-cpufreq instead of previous disappointing amd_pstate driver
Note that with ppower application isolated cores can have a different CPU
scaling than the others. Extra options for isolated cores:
1) System menu -> 'BOOT mode to Extreme, Extreme2, Standard or
Adaptative'
2) System menu -> 'CPU FREQUENCY SCALING (driver, governor, frequency,
turbo)' (NEW)
