This has to be a BIOS settings issue. You need to ensure your NVIDIA GPU is set as the primary.
Yeah, please check.
Yeah, I did check the BIOS, and I didnāt find many items related to the graphics card.
And before installing Ubuntu, the graphics card was running on Windows 11 with the same settings, so Iām not sure this is the issue.
It seems like Iāve worked enough with the current motherboard, so probably itās time to try with another brandās board.
Thank you all for your dedicated help! =))
Iāve never seen anything like this problem. Hope you get it fixed, especially after all the effort youāve put in!
ASUS and ASRock should be fine. My i9-14900K is running on this miniITX board. With 64 GB of DDR5-6400 CL32 from G.Skill. (280mm BeQuiet AIO cooler, which is not enough to keep it from thermal throttling in some cases)
GPU is RTX A4500.
Just noticed youāre using version 575.57.08 on kernel 6.15.4. Itās incompatible. I use official version 570.169 on kernel 6.15.4 with no problems.
Damn! So, that may be the reason.
May I ask how to install 570.169?
Thanks, Jussi!
Iām considering ASRock Z790 Steel Legend WiFi.
The one youāre using is no longer available where I live.
After trying what Chunhao suggested, Iāll try the ASRock if it doesnāt work.
Iām an old school guy. I donāt like to use in-tree distroās dkms module. I always download the driver from nvidia website directly:
Build it locally. Before you build the driver you have to blacklist the nouveau driver:
sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade
sudo reboot
sudo apt install build-essential
sudo echo "blacklist nouveau" >> /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
sudo update-initramfs -u
sudo reboot
Then execute the nvidia driver installer:
sudo ./NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-570.169.run
Thank you for the detailed procedure!
Iāll install Fedora once again and try it in the evening.
Oops I forgot youāre using Fedora. The above CLI needs to be changed to rpm-related commands and packages⦠sorry about that.
@jussi_laako
hi Jussi, last Embedded version 5.13.2 introduced a little glitch in gapless, it seems there is a very short overlapping between the tracks and this make gapless not as fluid as it was since previous version 5.13.0 ⦠quote annoing.
To be sure I rolled back to 5.13.0 and the issue isnāt there.
It also happens that HQPe stops playing before the actual end of the album, last time it stopped on track 20 of 26.
FYI Iām running HQP Embedded on Ubuntu 24.04 on Intel i7 14700 and using JPlay for iOS (HQPlayer API) with Minimserver.
thanks
It would be hard for me to convert the commands to Fedoraās, so Iāll try it on Ubuntu Server and see if it works.
Sorry missed that! Is Same embedded computer,
But you get two inputs as @jussi_laako mentioned above
With Embedded you get two, one with Rygel logo (UPnP) and another with HQPlayer logo (native HQPlayer).
With the instructions I gave you get the official Nvidiaās driver straight from Nvidiaās CUDA package repository⦠This ensures it is up to date and compatible with CUDA.
Note that 570 is old version and will soon stop working with HQPlayer. Currently drivers are 575 series. Please also use the Nvidiaās new fully open source driver, not the legacy semi-binary one. This is Nvidiaās recommendation. The legacy one is becoming obsolete and will be discontinued.
Iāve just finished flashing Ubuntu 24.04.2 server (I overwrote the flash drive with the Desktop version), and I realized the kernel version would be different from what was displayed in the photo I took with Fedora 41.
I think I should purchase the ASRock motherboard and work on that one.
Thanks, though,
PS. And Iāve just ordered it!
Really hope it works this time.
Will arrive in two days.
New version hqplayerd_5.14.0-40intel_amd64.deb 2025-07-08 00:04 164M
Try! Hopefully the bug itās fixed!
Can anyone confirm that WiiM ultra usb out feature is hqplayer compatible?
It should contain NAA for you to benefit.
If any WiiM model had NAA streamer, usb output would not be necessary, data would be sent via tcp/ip.
USB connection is a device to device, and not a network connection.
Also I would like to ask if anyone has some feedback about soundblaster Z SE with tosslink input, working as a bridge to hqplayer embedded on Linux.
