X86 Hardware issues (Graphics, WiFi, Onboard Sound, external DACs, Disks, BIOS/UEFI Boot problems etc.)

You said it runs standard Debian, would you be able to give me “dmesg” from it after booting

Two dmesgs here: one thats on wired network but untested audio, and one thats our jukebox, that have usb wifi adapter

Machine with wired network:

Note this one is based on xanmod kernel, thats for ntfs3 module, but network works regardless of kernel used

Jukebox:

also it’s /boot/syslinux.cfg?

I’m using grub, but heres related part of grub.conf

grub.conf

menuentry ‘Debian GNU/Linux’ --class debian --class gnu-linux --class gnu --class os $menuentry_id_option ‘gnulinux-simple-66ff4370-183e-411e-9cbf-80bd25fb0727’ {
load_video
insmod gzio
if [ x$grub_platform = xxen ]; then insmod xzio; insmod lzopio; fi
insmod part_msdos
insmod ext2
set root=‘hd0,msdos1’
if [ x$feature_platform_search_hint = xy ]; then
search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root --hint-bios=hd0,msdos1 --hint-efi=hd0,msdos1 --hint-baremetal=ahci0,msdos1 66ff4370-183e-411e-9cbf-80bd25fb0727
else
search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root 66ff4370-183e-411e-9cbf-80bd25fb0727
fi
echo ‘Loading Linux 5.10.0-8-amd64 …’
linux /boot/vmlinuz-5.10.0-8-amd64 root=UUID=66ff4370-183e-411e-9cbf-80bd25fb0727 ro quiet
echo ‘Loading initial ramdisk …’
initrd /boot/initrd.img-5.10.0-8-amd64
}

And perhaps output from “xrandr”? You may also have to try adding “nomodeset” to Volumio’s kernel parameters (see /boot/syslinux.cfg)

Suprisingly, volumio boots with video output, feat that I had problems running pure debian, but nomodeset does indeed work

though I think we have VIA firmware missing, Broadcom Limited NetLink BCM57780 Gigabit Ethernet PCI we don’t have (yet) either.

Its part of the non-free install media, its probably somewhere in the repos too, I guess? The trick to getting this adapter to work is to load both “broadcom” and “tg3”, in this order.

Sorry I don’t have one of these machines that runs “vanilla” debian handy right now, but I can set up one later if its needed for testing! :slight_smile:

After checking that the broadcom tigon driver is included, I can confirm that the tigon firmware is not.
(driver aborts while trying to determine the chip variant).
I think we can get this to work, sound should be a matter of including a proper “profile” in Volumio, currently we do not have one and output may be muted, did you check alsamixer for “MM”?

I need to check this, I have a dell Wyse 3040 here, an Atom X5-Z8350 with the same codec and it works.

Edit
Scrap that, it has codec rt5672, not the rt5651 like yours.
I you sent a fix to test.
It will be included in the next version when OK.

Did I get it correct, with nomodeset you have a UI?

I added tigon support to the firmware set we use, this should give you ethernet support, ofc I have no way to test this.
I could send you a pre-version, only to test ethernet connections issues, no complete image with myvolumio.

Hi,
before buying a new machine for Volumio 3, I would like to ask the community if there is anybody who successfully installed it on this mini PC:

Hi All

I’ve successfully installed Volumio on a Asus VivoPC VM60 minipc and it’s JUST ABOUT working ok except like the pinned post I don’t get any sound from the built in SPDIF.

The SPDIF option appears fine under the sources drop-down and it seems to be activated OK in ALSA. Any suggestions?

Also interested in seeing output from amixer -c 0

Thanks for your feedback, good to know!
I will add this as a tweak for HDA Intel PCH with Realtek ALC270.
This way, it will work out-of-the-box with the next version to avoid others having the same issue.

Hi all, I am looking for a wifi dongle for my x86 HTPC running Volumio 3 Beta.

Would Archer T3U AC1300 work with the Realtek RTL8812BU chipset?

Or can anyone please recommend a currently commonly available dual band AC dongle that will work out of the box?

Many thanks

Hi, I’ve been looking at the same dongle. Did you get one, does it work out of the box?

There is no RTL8812BU support in kernel version 5.10, I’m sorry.
Not for RTL8822BU chipsets either.

I see, are there any AC1300 dongles that are supported? Or is the Archer T2U (RTL8811AU) the fastest with AC600?

I take it all back, apparently there is some support and the driver has been included. Pity I don’t have sucha dongle to verify and I don’t like to advice where I’m not sure.
I guess someone has to bite the bullet.

Thanks, then I think I’ll buy & test the TP-Link Archer T3U (RTL8812BU)

EDIT: I bought the dongle, unfortunately doesn’t work out-of-the-box.

I can see the new USB WiFi dongle is detected, but Volumio is still loading the b43 driver for the built-in unsupported wifi adapter

I wish I had known, but the TP-Link Archer T3U is pure garbage. It doesn’t even work with macOS, even though they write on the box that it has Mac Support. The drivers aren’t even possible to find on the TP-Link webpage for T3U.
I will be returning this one for sure… \rant

The kernel discovers a bcm4630 device and loads the driver, this is expected behavior and will not be changed in our Volumio image.
But, because the bcm4360 is not compatible, you can make an installation-specific modification by blacklisting the driver. This modification will survive Volumio OTA updates.

As for the RTL8812BU, implementing the driver into the kernel would be another option.This way we would not need to install a driver package.
I would need more than one user request though, otherwise my efforts won’t be worth it.
Plus I need a tester, I don’t owe this dongle.

Thanks, I moved over to a Lenovo PC, where I don’t have any WiFi issues.
Perhaps I’ll play around with the Mac and drivers later, but for now I just want to have a music streamer up and running asap :slight_smile: Thanks again!

I have Volumio version 2.916 installed on an old IBM Thinkpad T41 having wired connection to Internet. My subscription plan is Virtuoso. I have my CD collection saved on the hard disk under folder INTERNAL. This arrangement has proven to a practical solution except the fact that Wi-Fi connection is not working (worked earlier with Lubuntu).

Now I would like to update to Volumio 3 and continue my present Virtuoso subscription. However I cannot implement the updating from Volumio interface. I am able to start update checking, but after a while the OS gives the messages “No updates available” and “You’re already on the latest version”. Could somebody inform me if updating from Volumio 2 to Volumio 3 is not possible in this way or am I doing something incorrectly?

Naturally I could install Volumio 3 using a new OS image, but I expect that I would then clean up the whole hard disk including the copies of my music collection. In addition I don’t know what happens to my Virtuoso subscription.

I would welcome propositions how to update in this case to Volumio 3 so that I can continue my Virtuoso subscription and retain my music collection on the hard disk.
