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

@nerd

a 3rd system. like I told yesterday, I ran the update to V4.061, during reboot I saw the update to V4.061, after booting V4.060.

Web display incorrect

Thank you for your very valuable work!
I also think the new solution with single network is excellent.

The update to 4.062 worked wonderfully.
(RPI 2/3/4 - Allo Boss/DogoOne(and Signature)/USB)
I discovered a problem with the web-display:
My laptop display has a resolution of 1920x1080, and I use Google Chrome on my computer.
When displayed at 100%, the album cover is much too large.
If I set Chrome to 90% zoom or less, it’s either better or too small.
This has only been the case since 4.062; everything was fine before that.

The display on my phone (Google Pixel 7a) with the Volumio app is wonderful.

Prompted to update from 4.061

Web Display fine at 100% 1366 x 768

Rpi4 SD Card 32GB Headless
IQAudio DAC+ Hat
Openmediavault NAS

OTA update from 4.061 to 4.062 went without problem - ethernet connection, plugins turned off

Needed to sign in again to Qobuz in “Sources” after restart following update

Switches automatically from Wired to Wireless and vice versa when ethernet is disconnected / reconnected - Static IP addresses

So far, so good!

Have also updated OTA on a Rpi 3 A+ only wireless, no ethernet on this one, but no problems

@rkorell, @codevoid, @Wheaten, @RedEyeNinja,

I hope I have not missed anyone.

Can you check OTA if the updater came to its senses?

Kind Regards,

Hey @rost21A,

Thank you for the detailed report, screenshots, and log. Everything in your setup updated cleanly to 4.062, but your log repeatedly shows the following system-level warning:

hwmon hwmon1: Undervoltage detected!

This means the Raspberry Pi is not receiving a stable 5V supply. When this happens, the CPU and GPU are automatically throttled, and graphical operations (including web rendering) may behave unpredictably. Before looking at a possible UI regression, we need to rule out the power issue.

Please do the following:

  1. Reboot your Pi with a verified 5V/3A (or stronger) power supply and a short, thick cable. Disconnect any nonessential USB devices.

  2. After boot, check if the undervoltage messages disappear from the system log.

  3. Then open Chrome in Incognito mode (no extensions, 100% zoom) and test the Now Playing screen again.

  4. If the problem persists, please open the Developer Console (F12) and share the output of these three values:

    • window.innerWidth
    • window.innerHeight
    • window.devicePixelRatio
  5. Finally, try narrowing the browser window until the right-side track panel collapses and see if the artwork scales differently.

Once we have these results under stable power, we can confirm whether this is a frontend layout regression or a side effect of throttling.

Kind Regards,

yes it did :slight_smile:
OTA from V4.060 => V4.061 Failed
OTA from V4.060 => V4.062 Passed

Thanks

@Hung_The
Could you please describe your volumio 4 build issues in the BananaPi M1 thread, I’ll try to answer you questions.

Prompted to update from 4.061 to 4.062 on my Pi4 (wifi). OTA successful.

@nerd

Pi4 - I was trigger happy so I downloaded the image as you were updating this thread, flashed and working
Pi5 - No top right pop-up, but when I clicked “Check Updates”, 4.062 came up and I can OTA update
PC - same as Pi5

All libraries and functions seem intact but I can’t go thru each of them right now.

Dear Volumionauts,

We are now well past 3,000 confirmed unique devices running the Bookworm Beta - that’s incredible progress. But here’s the problem: only 65 of you have reported your status.

If we want this to move from Beta to Stable, silence won’t get us there. Every confirmation, every issue, every short “works fine on my Pi4” matters. Without real feedback, we’re flying blind.

So here’s the ask: step up, share your results, and help us make Volumio 4 the solid, polished release it deserves to be. You’ve downloaded it - now tell us how it runs!

Kind Regards,

Ok then. Works fine with my RP5 using wifi… almost. I sometimes get spontaneous reboots and boot loops when I have the Music Services Shield plugin installed. Now I don’t really care because I don’t think i can hear any sound quality improvement with it and don’t really know what I’m doing with it anyway. I also have the Roon Bridge, Radio Paradise, and YouTube Music plugins working just fine.

Hi!

Update 4.061 to 4.062

Rpi5 wifi connected Ok!

Rpi4 ethernet connected. Update took very long time. After restart V4.061 still showed up but I just had to reload/refresh my browser window and then 4.062 was there. I guess it just was some kind of hangup in cache.
Now OK!

Regards / C

@nerd

OTA update to 4.062 was now possible. :white_check_mark:
Thank you very much for fixing.

For me every OTA update since 4.010 up to 4.062 worked without issues
(luckily i missed 4.018 :slight_smile:

PI3b. - wifi connected
SD card
Allo Kali
Allo Piano 2.1 in dual Mono mode

Plugins:

Spotify 4.30
Autoplay (45000 ms - because Pi3 is slow)

Dear @nerd,
sorry for delay, was afk a while.

Just checked: Update to 4.062 (RC) was proposed on GUI automatically.
I’ve performed the update (coming from 4.025) and all went well.

Actually all of the system is working as excepted. Really NICE, great job! Thanks a LOT!
(HW) Config:
Pi5, Raspi 2 Display (DSI), Two rotary encoders on several GPIOs
BT remote
Testing:
• Spotify plugin, works (my only use case).
• Touch display (and corresponding plugin) works
• “Now Playing” plugin works
• Bluetooth_remote plugin works
• Rotary encoders are both working
• WiFi is working (can access from laptop / phone).
• BT remote working

CORRD link still leads to corrd-webpage , no intergrations as far as I can see.

Nice rest of the day to all of you,
Regards, Ralf

Flashed 4.060.
OTA: 4.061 > 4.062 Everything went well, wired internet.
The only problem was logging in; popup kept appearing in the plugin store. A reboot fixed this, but unfortunately, I didn’t create a log.
Otherwise, everything works fine, and the sound is nice.

Raspberry Pi 3b+ rev 1.3.

Raspberry pi 5 8 GB Volumio 4.062 with Argon ONE V5 case (M.2 NVMe Crucial P310 1TB) + analog 3.5mm output on Argon case (Argon is using USB DAC, NOT I2C).
Working like charm, booting from NVMe drive directly. Analog output works trough 3.5mm port.

I had to create python script for fan control on Argon case, I have installed this script under /data/argon/ and put systemd entry in /etc/system/
Will this be overwritten in some of the updates ?

Same hardware, Same config, Same conclusion on 4.062 RC
Spotify plugin 4.3 OK
Radio Paradise mp3 & FLAC OK
Own Music library FLAC OK

Correction
After 2 normal reboot, the device is going through reboot loops, MyVolumio login gone and impossible to put back because of the constant reboot.
Don t know if just sd card corruption or something else. Will try reimaging later this weekend

Update
Next morning, no more issue of “MyVolumio” connection & plugins.
Don’t know what happened, maybe a network or server issue.
There are some drops outs still

Hello @Nerd
Thank you for your advice, which I followed except for the Developer Console (F12). I don’t have a monitor connected.
I used a genuine RPI power supply, and now there’s no undervoltage message in the log. http://logs.volumio.org/volumio/qkCS3Ec.html

The error still persists. However, I discovered that scaling the system to 125% (laptop with Ubuntu 25.10) triggers the error. Scaling to 100% doesn’t cause the error.
With Firefox, the error doesn’t occur even at 100%, despite scaling to 125%.

If I disable fractional scaling in my notebook’s display settings, the error also goes away.

So this isn’t a new issue with Volumio, but probably a new configuration of my laptop’s system, which I recently updated.

I apologize for my misjudgment.

In general, I’d like to express my sincere thanks.
My Volumios RPI 2/3/4 with various output devices, including Allo Boss, Allo DigiOne (and Signature), and USB on a Musical Fidelity V90, all work wonderfully.
I primarily listen to Qubuz, sometimes FLAC from a NAS, and internet radio (SwissJazz, SwissPop, etc.).
I don’t use any plugins.
Everything works perfectly.
