Hello all! This is my first post! I recently subscribed to volumio premium. I downloaded and flashed the image using balena. I booted my PC from external USB drive. Initial setup started normally.When I went to network tab no availabilie wifi appeared and of course my home wifi. In volumio app for Android ,volumio appearears, connects as access point but again I can’t connect to internet,am I doing something wrong. My wifi works perfectpy. My router is an Asus RT AX 88 U which is considered as very capable. Thank you.

Wheaten · June 14, 2025, 7:53pm

I guess your running the x86 version.
Please disable Hotspot, refresh your screen after a minute or so and see if the wireless SSID’s come up.

Gianiko · June 14, 2025, 8:59pm

Sorry for my lack of experience but how can I do that ? Thank you

Wheaten · June 14, 2025, 9:02pm

In the network menu

Gianiko · June 15, 2025, 11:39am

Thank you so much for your help. Now wifi networks appear but I still can’t connect to my wifi although the password is correct!

I will upgrade it today. I can’t find the Display touch plugin to rotate my screen horizontally. Please help.

Please read the opening post and provide what is mentioned in the opening post:
** Reporting**

There is no plugin for the screen with an x86 device. To be honest if you want to use PeppyMeterBasic, rotation isn’t helpful as there are no templates available. All templates are in landscape mode.

You can use a script.
ssh to your device;

cd ~
mkdir scripts && cd scripts && nano rotate.sh

Copy + paste

#!/bin/bash
set -e
export DISPLAY=:0.0

# Check for input
if [ -z "$1" ]; then
  echo "Usage: $0 [left|right|inverted|normal]"
  exit 1
fi

# Choose the desired rotation
case "$1" in
  left|right|inverted|normal)
    # Find the primary display
    display=$(xrandr | grep " connected" | awk '{ print $1 }' | head -n 1)
    xrandr --output "$display" --rotate "$1"
    echo "Screen rotated to $1"
    ;;
  *)
    echo "Invalid option: $1"
    echo "Usage: $0 [left|right|inverted|normal]"
    exit 1
    ;;
esac

ctrl+o, ctrl+x

chmod +x rotate.sh
sudo bash rotate.sh right

When will volumio linux build support the intel ax2xx chipset?

gkkpch · July 6, 2025, 7:30am

Yes, Intel ax200, ax201, ax210 and ax211 are supported with the X86 version.

Jersinger · July 6, 2025, 1:16pm

Ive tried many bords and cards and they dont work. Do i need to do anything?

gkkpch · July 6, 2025, 2:13pm

@Jersinger You should not have to do anything special, the chipsets are supported since kernel version 5.14.
Volumio is already on kernel 6.6.y (Volumio 4 beta on 6.12.y), so it “should” work out of the box.
I tested Volumio 3 and Volumio 4 (beta) on a Lenovo Thinkpad T15v with an Intel Wi-Fi 6E AX211 802.11ax without any issues.

To enable us to help you, please read the first post in this thread and supply the required information.
With the hardware information we should get a clearer picture of your setup and the log may show us a possible issue.

Hi!

I installed Volumio 4 latest beta version, on PC. Every thing functions quite good, even youtube music, but not to HDMI.

I have two sound card, HDMI over my Marantz AVR surround receiver and Maverick Tubemagic DAC 2. For the record, I had turned of motherboard build in soundcard in bios settings.

Sound functions out from the Maverick, but not from HDMI. I got this message:

Volumio failed to open alsa (alsa). Failed to open ALSA device on “volumio”. No such file or directory.

I had tried to flip flop controls and al combinations of configuration. I have tested restart. Also tested adding;

options snd_hda_intel index=0
options snd-usb-audio index=5

in new file;
/etc/modprobe.d/sound.conf

(then a restart)

I have tested sound out from console, there is sound, tested by;

speaker-test -Dhw:0,3 -c 6

@Klasw
Probably this is the first time you run Volumio on that PC as it appears that Volumio needs an additional device profile for this particular Nvidia soundcard configuration.

In case you want to test this, could you add this line to /volumio/app/plugins/audio_interface/alsa_controller/cards.json, just after the line with “HDA ATI HDMI”?

 {"name": "HDA NVidia", "multidevice": true, "devices":[{"number":3, "prettyname": "HDMI 0", "defaultmixer": ""},{"number":7, "prettyname": "HDMI 1", "defaultmixer": ""},{"number":8, "prettyname": "HDMI 2", "defaultmixer": ""},{"number":9, "prettyname": "HDMI 3", "defaultmixer": ""}],"type":"integrated"},

Please let me know whether this solves your issue.

Klasw · July 12, 2025, 6:33pm

Thank you very much, that functioned!

I modified code a bit, there is no sound on HDMI 1 to 3 (same in Kodi), so I just added this line:

{"name": "HDA NVidia", "multidevice": true, "devices":[{"number":3, "prettyname": "HDMI-0 Marantz NR1509", "defaultmixer": ""}],"type":"integrated"},

(at first i copied your code before “HDA ATI HDMI”, so guess order does not matter)

Thanks again, I got good sound from hdmi now, I can even turn off Volume mixer and get sound directly, do not know if it count as pass through, though?

gkkpch · July 12, 2025, 8:56pm

Hi @klasw, unfortunately we can’t do your “pretty name”, as we need to keep the NVidia profile generic, not linked to a specific (in this case your) device attached to it.
It must stay HDMI-0 in our standard image and for 1-2-3 for that reason. Keeps your version standard for potential other users.
I will do a change request to this for the next weekly release. Many thanks for taking the time to test this.

Klasw · July 12, 2025, 9:14pm

Yes I understand that, the generic name is;
marantz-AVR

I surpose, what you read from;
aplay -L.

(I know some programming, a web developer, and also think Kodi put that string in, on HDMI 0, last)

Thanks again, I am very happy, but do not know what sounds best now, Maverick or Marantz, he!

alberto_bocca · July 15, 2025, 2:46am

I have installed last free version of Volumio. It works good with ethernet lan cable. How can I use the wireless lan instead of the cable one?
The hardware is a Nuc i5 with wifi and bluetooth. How can link my iPhone via bluetooth to Volumio? Is it possibile?
Last question: I use the free version of Volumio. My system shows me the sample rate and it is always 44.1Khz. Can Volumio play music with more than 44.1khz sample rate?

From where are you playing your music, local storage or via the iPhone using airplay. if the latter this is due to airplay.

If you can’t setup Wifi in the network menu, your wifi adapter might not have been identified. Please provide the information as requested in the opening post under: ** Reporting**
