Dear All,

Following few weeks of deep dive into a completely new Audio driver and a new kernel, we're excited to release this new Arm build with some major improvements and bug fixes. Once again we appreciate your patience as this process took a lot longer than expected as some of the kernel/driver issues required quite a lot of our attention... Like anything in product dev, it's not always as easy as it seems.. Good news is we learned a lot on the way.. We expect Volumio v1.94 to be available in the coming 24h on the Volumio servers and note that it is at this time for Neo2 build only (Black USB host connector/SHD unit purchased before Jan 2021). See below for Neo3 builds.

Here is a list of improvements on v1.94:

- Indexing bug: Volumio not indexing correctly some songs due to some specific artwork ratio (Volumio bug). Problem solved
- L/R reversal: When using Spotify/Roon, channels would sometime reverse with play/pause (low level driver issue). Problem solved.
- Lots of modifications behind the scenes to finalize Roon certification. We're now pending to get it retested by RoonLabs.

WARNING: Once the build is available on the Volumio OTA servers, you will be able to update the firmware for your Volumio Streamer.
Note that you must also update the miniDSP XMOS firmware to v1.29. We've already posted a new zip file in our userdownloads section for v1.29. Please update as per manual.

A Neo3 build (Blue USB Host connector / SHD unit from Jan 2021) is now ongoing to solve the following:
- Indexing bug (similar fix as above = Easy)
- Roon modifications for certification

Hoping all this info helps,

Have fun!
