Just seeing this and can commiserate. I had the exact same error after purging the previous HQPlayer install and having hqplayerd alone pulling in dependencies. Toward the end of the Ubuntu section on this page there is a command line instruction under the heading : I was unable to locate similar instruction on the latest ROMm installation page (currently v4.5) but the documentation for ROCm v4.3 pulls in the most current version at this time. ROCm has been such a consistent hassle I think I’ll stop doing a fresh install for each new HQPlayerd release for the foreseeable future.

Thank you, Miska. As a Linux newbie I'd been seeking out step-by-step instruction online but this method was so much easier than all others I've used. Embedded version now on day 4 of continuously play as I put hours on a new DAC. Very large looping shuffle of DSD & PCM material with a wide variety of sample rates working perfectly.

The device is used exclusively for HQPlayer purpose. If running 20.04 Focal LTS server headless, would either the “nvidia-headless-470” or “nvidia-headless-no-dkms-470” be valid options to pull in less? Nvidia instructions say to download the NVIDIA CUDA toolkit as a “pre-installation action” but this I will skip.

CUDA question. Instructions on setting up a key to securely download CUDA are on the CUDA toolkit download site. (No key = error message when trying to add as a repository to 'apt update'). Are specific commands available to only download the runtime parts required for HQPlayer? Or perhaps HQP requirements with a minimum extra?

Followed this advice, triple checked repository list, tried various alternatives, still no success. Web searches for "error while loading shared libraries" is a nice learning experience. Unfortunately, I'm unable to devote more time to this right now. Reverted to hqplayerd_4.22.3-67_amd64 - Everything related to hqplayerd completely purged, "new" install succeeded on first attempt & running without issue. Will survive listening to the fantastic poly-sinc-ext3 via modest PCM upsampling my M1 mini for now.

Updating to hqplayerd_4.23.1-71 on intel. Unable to see config page after updating. Troubleshooting included restarting the hqplayerd service. Repeatedly found: Nothing found on the ubuntu help forums regarding getting a service started was working so autoremoved hqplayerd and re-installed fresh copy + all dependencies. Now, typing hqplayerd -s '<username> <password>' results in the error: ~$ sudo find / -name librocfft.so.0 finds the file at '/opt/rocm-4.2.0/lib/librocfft.so.0' No idea if my problem is related to librocfft.so.0 but could someone assist or point me to a resource to help me figure out what is happening? Thank you.

I don’t have personal experience with each model on the list but have used Minis exclusively since they were first introduced over a decade ago. Of the four models I have owned/continue to use, the M1 has, by far, been the quietest and up to this point, run the coolest. No spinning drive is probably a very big factor. Upsampling Redbook to DSD1024 (via UPboard NAA>Holo Spring 2) on the M1 running a full array of applications and their background processes is consistently doable without dropouts (mostly AMSDM7+fs w/ wide variety of filters). Mine has 16GB of RAM but that does not seem to be a requirement - it was a ‘future proofing’ decision more than anything. My experience is not as deep or varied as many here but can objectively say that at least with wintertime ambient temps the first gen M1 runs cooler and is quieter than any computer I’ve ever owned.

Update to my previous post above: The hip-rocclr and rocfft dependency alerts on Ubuntu 20.04 appear to only pop up on my machine when trying to install hqplayerd_4.20.1-56_amd64.deb. No issues with the two releases previous to it.

Focal installed from scratch today and all up to date. Reinstalling HQP embedded. The instructions above are a great current reference. Almost finished but seeing something new... Not finding references to these items in the usual places. Did find multiple instances of "sudo apt update && sudo apt install rocfft" but I get an error: hip-rocclr is also a mystery. Any assistance is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

An observation from a Linux newbie - I had black screen issues when trying to set up an RTX 2080 Ti in Ubuntu 18.04. The problems were completely due to my unfamiliarity with the software but trouble-shooting in the early stages would have been infinitely more difficult if I had not been able to fall back on the built-in Intel video.

I will not assume to know exactly what your ultimate goals are but if the Apple solution doesn't work and/or you investigate alternative solutions, the Mac Plex.tv software provides A/V sync settings. Their Apple TV app may also but I have no experience with it or any way to test.

The question becomes 'is 48K more important than MQA?' Reverting to older firmware is identical to the 'upgrade' process. Unless they eliminate that issue, my iDSD micros will forever remain with the v5.2 Limoncello firmware which was the last available before MQA support was added.

I have the same board with a Noctua D15S and two CPU fans in a Fractal Design R6 USB C case. No problem mounting HyperX Predator sticks in any slot.

Acknowledging that everyone's needs are different, I'd add a friendly reminder that HQPlayer OS doesn't support CUDA. If you can live without that, it's a fabulous solution.

+1 for dBPoweramp batch conversion. Yate is my go-to if you need to clean up tags. Steep learning curve but have yet to encounter something it cannot do. --- from a Mac user since 1988
