Audirvāna for LINUX and NAS (QNAP/Synology) officially released

I am unable to add my SSD, mounted at boot in Ubuntu 22.04, that holds my music files. The remote app simply does not see the folder or the files.

Where’s it mounted? Is it actually under the /mnt directory? That’s where mine is and it works. (I do the automount using the method described here: How To Automount File Systems on Linux - LinuxBabe ).

Testing on an old macbook late 2008, 4 Gb Ram, Linux Mint 21.3, Great sound… I’m surprised

Hello I’m just installed on Ubuntu 22. I see the icon on ubuntu. But I haven’t the core on my ios app. Do you do anything to activate audirvana on Ubuntu ? thanks lot

Audirvana, how you are impressed me!

Tried install on Raspberry Pi4 2gb ram with Moode 8.3.9 and i get errors unfortunately:

Unpacking audirvana-studio (2.8.1.1) over (2.8.1.1) …
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of audirvana-studio:
audirvana-studio depends on libstdc++6 (>= 11); however:
Version of libstdc++6:arm64 on system is 10.2.1-6.

dpkg: error processing package audirvana-studio (–install):
dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
Errors were encountered while processing:
audirvana-studio

But:

moode@moode:~ $ sudo apt-get install libstdc++6
Reading package lists… Done
Building dependency tree… Done
Reading state information… Done
libstdc++6 is already the newest version (10.2.1-6).

Waow! Can’t wait to test the Synology version! Will simplify my setup!
Never tried QNAP or any other Brand but Synology is impressive on many aspects. Never had any problem (except HDD failures, mainly affecting Seagate disks) for more than 10 years of use.

Jud, nice to see you here. It’s mounted under media

/media/jason/HQPMusic and it’s written in fstab. I guess I can change it.

Right now, the audirvana remote only sees /media/jason and then nothing.

edit: removing /jason from the path and mounting it one level deep at /media/HQPMusic did the trick.

:+1: And you. Glad to see it worked!

I’m assuming you have the Audirvāna remote installed on iOS? On your phone are you asking to sign in with Audirvāna when the service starts?

Planing to try this one when Synology support is available. A docker container would be prefferable :+1:

This is amazing news for the Linux Desktop. I’ve already used debtap to convert to an Arch Linux package, installed, and executed the binary from the /opt directory. Fantastic sound quality through ALSA. I’m not a Synology/QNAP user, but would definitely explore options on my TrueNAS Scale server. But again, the most exciting thing is having that signature Audirvana sound on my Linux desktop (why it sounds slightly different than Roon “bit perfect”, I don’t know.) Once this is stabilized/GA, it will run anywhere. Thanks for the amazing work Audirvana team.

Interesting to see that Audirvana now ‘plays with’ the Pro-Ject Stream S2 Ultra.
Would be nice if Audirvana could come up with a build that could be installed on this streamer, which is a slightly jazzed up Raspberry Pi.

You’re doing better than I did! I tried debtap, even tried editing the resulting PKGBUILD, but at least on ArcoLinux (Arch-based distro), I keep getting a crash on startup. What distro are you using, plain Arch or something else?

Somewhat to my amazement Audirvana is running smoothly on my 2 gig Raspberry Pi4.

A question for @Antoine - is there support fort any of the common Pi HATs and if so how do I enable it?

Many thanks - this is excellent.

I’m using the Endeavour OS variant (fairly close to vanilla Arch), just to install more quickly while using Arch’s repos–a habit I formed after probably my 30th installation of Arch without the TUI installer a few years back. On Endeavour, these are the important bits that I ran:
DEB_PACKAGE=“audirvana-studio_2.8.1.1_amd64.deb”

Update debtap database

echo “Updating debtap database…”
sudo debtap -u

Convert .deb package to Arch package

echo “Converting .deb package to Arch package…”
sudo debtap “$DEB_PACKAGE”

Install

sudo pacman -U audirvana-studio-2.8.1.1-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst

After that, I ran the process manually from the /opt directory for a quick test. Though, more recently (after reading the script) I used:

Enable for non-root user

/opt/audirvana/studio/setAsService.sh enable USERNAME

A few things I’ve noticed:

1.) I can’t play any Tidal tracks, I specifically looked for MQAs. I didn’t attempt pure FLAC via Tidal.
2.) Qobuz seems to work flawlessly.
3.) Sometimes connecting to my Linux instance of Audirvana Studio causes the Audirvana Remote to crash on Android 14, Google Pixel 7 Pro.
4.) I can’t seem to release Audirvana Studio’s hold on ALSA, which prevents me from switching to other audio sources.

I’m likely going to build an Ubuntu based Docker container to install the official DEB, and pass --device /dev/snd to it, so that the container has access to my iFi Zen DAC v2 USB sound device.

I just installed the Linux application. I’ve enabled run as service, service is running, firewall is off, but remote app is not detecting the linux server. What can I do? Thanks!

  • Have you tried restarting the service?

  • What’s the exact error message when you check the status?

  • Do you have avahi-daemon installed and running?

That’s an error message I got when avahi-daemon wasn’t installed or working properly. Check whether it’s installed and running.
