Public Beta Test: Audio Without Compromise - Refining the Future of Volumio on Bookworm

Known Issues Tracker

Last Updated: 2 October 2025

Installation & System Requirements

  • Devices flashed with older partition layouts must reflash to receive future updates.
  • Minimum storage requirement: 8GB.

Audio & Streaming

  • DSD over HDMI: is not supported on Raspberry Pi boards. This is a hardware limitation, not a bug.
  • Metadata handling: in rare cases a race condition can cause filenames to display with codes (for example *20) until playback starts. This is cosmetic and low priority.

Networking (Wi-Fi & Hotspot Behavior)

  • AP + STA (simultaneous) mode is unreliable on Linux and not supported.
  • AP or STA (exclusive) mode is supported. Volumio automatically selects based on availability.
  • STA-only adapters cannot support hotspot mode.
  • Hotspot failures may occur due to slow Wi-Fi initialization on first boot. Mitigation remains on hold.
  • On Raspberry Pi 5, static IP setup during Wi-Fi initialization can cause a system freeze.
  • Switching from Ethernet setup to Wi-Fi setup is not yet supported via UI or simple configuration (under review).

Network shares (fixed in 4.029)

  • NFS-mounted libraries may be pruned after reboot due to a boot-time race condition between share availability and library initialization. This is under investigation and will be addressed after the networking rework is complete.

Kind Regards,
