You shoul have asked 
The hotspot has the advantage that you can setup the system on the first boot, by simply connecting your PC via WiFi to the hotspot.
I noticed that some of the onboard wireless chips/ drivers with the x86 platform will do hotspot but can’t scan for wireless networks in parallel.
So in some cases the hotspot will be active but you will not be able to connect to a wireless network. This is ok with notebooks, or for pc’s with monitor/ keyboard connected, because you can switch off the hotspot, wait a few seconds and the pick from the freshly scanned list.
However it is a nuisance when you have a headless setup.
I am using latest volumio x86 3.251 on my Intel NUC 11gen machine (model name is nuc11tnki5).
NUC Specs Link
It works best on my NUC except one thing, Onboard ethernet controller which is “Intel® Ethernet Controller i225-LM”
I couldn’t make it to work with volumio, so I am using external USB Ethernet Adapter now.
If you could support to volumio work with Intel NUC 11gen machines with ethernet support, It would be very helpful for all NUC users.
Thanks.

Hi, I am posting this along another reply for Intel NUC 11gen.
When I used 2.5gb ethernet adapter by replacing gigabit ethernet, I felt that audio quality much improved.
It could be the the reason for this that 2.5gb controllers handling common mode noise better than gigabit ethernet controllers. Please google it if you curious about common mode noise and how could it affect audio qualify.
Anyway I bought an 10gb ethernet adapter using aQuantia AQtion NIC. (AQC107)
But I couldn’t make it to work with volumio.
If you provide support for that ethernet controller, I could test the audio quality with 10gb ethernet adapter.
Thanks.
Tinker S installed the latest official version 3.251 on the board… In the settings I do not see how to set I2S or select a DAC. How to do it? In the Audio selection menu - HDMI, HDMI, SPDIF, CONNECTOR.
Volumio3 X86 GUI not responding on assigned IP (VERSION: 3.251).
Once boot ends up, I try to reach volumio gui from any another devices on showed IP at login without success.
NOTE that everything is ok following the same steps using raspberry pi (same version) instead of X86.
Current configuration: boot from internal HDD; nothing changes booting from USB.
I tried with both ethernet cable connected and wi-fi on and with ethernet only or wi-fi only: the only way to reach configuration wizard is via hotspot (tried static IP or using DHCP) but at the end no way to reach the gui on the desired IP leaving hotspot (timeout, server unreachable). Ping correctly responding on assigned Volumio IP (via ethernet and via wi-fi) from any devices and viceversa (so no network connection issue).

Thank you so much!
Hello,
Intel Broadwell.
I have trouble making audio over HDMI work.
In Settings → playback options → output device there are two option, “HDA Intel HDMI” and “Analog Out”.
I want HDMI audio playback, so I select the first option, but no sound comes out.
‘speaker-test -D hw:0,3 -c 2’ works fine.

Your HDMI sound interface is called “HDA Intel HDMI”, which is missing from the list of card profiles (so far nobody asked for it).
This will need a patch in the Volumio backend.
Meanwhile, if you know how to use an editor in a terminal session,
modify “/volumio/app/plugins/audio_interface/alsa_controller/cards.json”
- copy the line with “Intel HDMI/DP LPE Audio”
- in the copied line, replace “Intel HDMI/DP LPE Audio” by “HDA Intel HDMI”
- reboot
Then let me know how that went.
Hi gkkpch
Thank you for your help. It doesn’t quite work yet. Now the option to select “HDA Intel HDMI” is completely missing from the UI.
This is what it looks like:
{“name”: “Intel HDMI/DP LPE Audio”, “multidevice”: true, “devices”:[{“number”:0, “prettyname”: “HDMI 0”, “defaultmixer”: “”},{“number”:1, “prettyname”: “HDMI 1”, “defaultmixer”: “”},{“number”:2, “prettyname”: “HDMI 2”, “defaultmixer”: “”}],“type”:“integrated”},
{“name”: “HDA Intel HDMI”, “multidevice”: true, “devices”:[{“number”:0, “prettyname”: “HDMI 0”, “defaultmixer”: “”},{“number”:1, “prettyname”: “HDMI 1”, “defaultmixer”: “”},{“number”:2, “prettyname”: “HDMI 2”, “defaultmixer”: “”}],“type”:“integrated”},
yes, but you ‘should’ have HDMI 0, HDMI 1 and HDMI 2 instead.
Try each one of them.
In case that does not work, change the profile to look like this:
{“name”: “HDA Intel HDMI”, “multidevice”: true, “devices”:[{“number”:3, “prettyname”: “HDMI”, “defaultmixer”: “”}],“type”:“integrated”},
This should reflect the speakertest “hw” parameters which you said were working
Thank you, that worked.
The software mixer does not seem to work - could there be some kind of mixer issue? But I don’t want it anyways.

I presume the last one worked, not the first?
Indeed, the last one:
{“name”: “HDA Intel HDMI”, “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”: “”},{“number”:10, “prettyname”: “HDMI 4”, “defaultmixer”: “”}],“type”:“integrated”},
perfect addition, please submit this as a patch.
I’ll help via PM when needed😀
Is the new Spotify plugin not available for x86? I can’t seem to find it.
