Hi guys.

 

After 3 fresh installations of WS 2016 core, I have isolated my issue that occurs when Hysolid App loses connection to the service. 

It turns out is was neither AO nor Fidelizer Pro.

 

What happens in Dual-PC is that the ip:port in Hysolid registry settings needs to be set at the Audio-PC. In my case, 10.0.0.26:port. Then when Hysolid starts or restarts it is fine, as long as it is after the JPLAY-service.

But something is telling the "Hysolid-registry" that it shall revert to the Control-PC. In my case, 10.0.0.21:port. I need to find out what causes that. I am guessing it is either Hysolid- or HysolidM-service?

If I change back to Audio-PC and restart service, connection to PC in Hysolid is restored.

 

EDIT: It seems to happen everytime I stop playback. IP reverts to Control-PC. Then I can press play again, and Hysolid-service stops responding, and the app gets no pc-connection.

 

Any ideas anyone? Phil?

Good for you. ;) Seems like this dual-pc setup is messing with the Hysolid brain... However I am glad that I have isolated the cause! Took me some hours. :D

Good work! I have exactly the same behaviour in my dual PC setup. Hope someone can suggest a solution...

Just a thing I did with this as a temporary solution. Not very clever, but time-saving.

 

Exported the regkey to C:\> called hysolid.reg

 

Then I created the batch file in C:Users\> called a.bat with this content:

 

@echo off
net stop hysolid
net stop hysolidm
reg import "C:\Users"\hysolid.reg
net start hysolid
net start hysolidm 
 
Saves me a lot of time... :D

Did a clean installation of Windows 2016 Standard Core by removing Windows 2012 R2 during the installation process. (NO UPGRADE)

With the combination of Audiophile Optimizer 2.20 beta 2a JPlay/HySolid/ProcessLasso, I must say this completely beats my previous installation of the same setup on Windows 2012 R2

Better imaging/ soundstage, more detailed information, much better bass.

Using the posts on the forum to get the JPlay/HySolid did not work for me.

I will post a detailed step-by-step instructions to get the JPlay/HySolid combination working in Windows 2016 Core in a few days.

Stay tuned!!

I agree with AudioDoc. I also did a fresh install of Windows server 2016 core standard with AO 2.20b2a and the soundstage is bigger and instruments are more detailed with better placement. The best thing is the bass that go deeper and tuneful than windows server 2K12 R2. I run JPLAYStreamer.

Hi AudioDoc,

 

Is it just a miss type '2.20 beta 1b' ? I think '2b' is not yet released.

 

BTW, I tried AO 2.20 beta 1b on WS2016 Core but to my ears it didn't sound better than 2012R2.

Wonder if anyone tried ever?

To my ears AO 2.20 beta 2a and Windows Server 2016 are a match made in heaven, undoubtedly better than AO 2.20 beta 1b running on Windows 2012 R2 with sound quality.

Does doing that actually result in a 'cleaner' installation, Phil?
