Please look at the 1st post and provide needed info, if possible.
I downloaded this: Volumio-3.396-2022-12-04-x86_amd64.
I put that on a different USB stick and the install started, but now it seems to be installed on the USB stick itself instead of the HDD on the PC. When I take the USB stick out the old Windows on this box starts to load up.
As of now, Volumio is dead in the water and Iâve tried twice now to install it. Going to try a third time.
Aha,
So itâs working as expected, thatâs good to hear.
When booted the image will run from USB, unless you select System => Install to disk xxxx.
If you click on that, it will be installed to the HDD. Please keep in mind that it will fully erase the HDD.
Dead in the water is âworking as expectedâ?
Youâve stated, that itâs starts to load from USB, but that it only runs from USB, hence my reply.
If it now dies during boot on your NUC, you need to give al the hardware details, as there might be unsupported hardware on your NUC. In that way @gkkpch can check if these missing drivers can be added. So far the NUC-10xxx/NUC-11xxx have been reported to work.
Well, now I canât even login. I can use the same email and pwd to logon here, but the same email and pwd doesnât work in the setup process. It did the first two times. Now it doesnât.
Four failed attempts to install and then my account is invalid. This has been an unfortunate learning experience.
Do you have a free or paid MyVolumio account?
Please check on Volumio - The Music Player how many devices have been registered.
Free is one device and paid are 6 active devices.
If you exceed this number, you canât login with a new device.
So itâs smart to remove device from previous attempts, if they are in the list.
I had to reset my password. There are no active devices. Iâm trying one last time.
Iâve seen enough. Iâll pass.
Sorry to see you go, but itâs impossible to provide support without any useful information, besides NUC and doesnât work.
Take care.
I realise this may be confusing and getting information from a âdeadâ device is not easy.
Letâs try it once more, you will regret wanting to give up once you get it up and running.
I believe you already correctly burned the image to a stick as you mentioned something âlinuxâ flashed by. That is the very first message appearing when the image starts to boot.
Before we dig any deeper, could you tell me which type of NUC it is: turn it over and let me know what the label on the bottom says.
Also, are you connected via ethernet cable or are you expecting wireless to work? If ethernet, are its port leds flashing after booting?
Did you connect a monitor?
So, just give me this extra info, then I know what to ask next.
To re-assure you, most NUCs are known to work very well, slim chance yours does not.
Volumio 3 Issues?
Please see: Volumio 3 issues: hints and solutions before posting a new issue.
(Youâll need to cut and paste the link)
----------------------------- l have been enjoying Volumio 3 for a numbero of weeks,and although l loved the sound quality, l wonder is there any way of speeding up the acc ess of my Local Files which are on a SSD l donât stream files, and donât have issues with other programs like Jriver, l would like to speed up the access, if itâs possible, any suggestions? -----------------
l
Please provide more details, like:
- Used hardware rpi3/rpi4
- file types flac,mp3,wavâŚ
- SDD how is it connected?
Sorry about that 
. l have Samsung 8tb 970 SSD, l use only WAV files PCM. It is connected USB 3, as an external drive.
l am running the X86 current version of Volumio 3 OS on itâs on SSD drive.
Best way l can describe issue is a pause of 4 to 5 seconds before it will open a folder.
Hope l have covered everything.
I assume the SDD is also connected with a USB3 to SATA adapter?
How was the 8TB disk formatted?
Just ran a test, with a smaller disk (1TB - 860 EVO, Formatted as NTFS) but the response time is very fast.
I will move this topic to the support topic for x86, for better assistance.
In the mean time, please provide the info as mentioned in the opening post of this topic.
I have replied already, l have about 6tb of WAV PCM files on a 8tb SSD.
Connected via USB 3.0
Once a artists is selected playback is instant, but if searching while playing a song, l experience searching delays up to 4 seconds, almost buffering.
Please read the opening post and report the missing info as we have no idea on which machine you are running this.
And please, good practise, mention the exact x86 image version, âcurrentâ is useless, as it can be old when reading this in two weeks.
Also, how has this ssd been formatted?
Okay current version is 3.396
Format NTFS
Can you provide a log, so we can see if something is causing this and
- Output from âlspciâ and âinxi -Fxxxzâ
Request for internal WiFi/ WiFi dongle testers
I prepared a Volumio test version for x86 with a brand new kernel (6.1.1) and firmware. It does not have myVolumio, it is only meant for hw testing.
Iâm looking for people who are willing to test this for WiFi capabilities.
The image should solve a few issues with wifi chips, which were basically supported but newer chip revisions were not.
It also adds the extra wifi drivers, some slightly modified, which were added to the Volumio x86 kernel before.
Link to test version 0.001 with kernel 6.1.1
Note: as soon as reasonable feedback is available, a new x86 beta will be built with all normal the whistles an bells.
