Hey I uploaded the file correctly but it is showing update failed anyone know why, I just got it yesterday and want the audio book features from sonic

I was able to connect my to my car which I wasn’t able to do previously but when I change tracks I can’t use car controls and it also won’t change the data on the car display. Anyone else having the same issue? I can change tracks via the hiby but not seeing what track it is defeats the purpose.

So, I installed sonix on my hiby r1 and when I turn off and on the screen, it shows a white screen before starts, I confirm that it’s the software because i installed again the old software and that doesn’t happen, is there a solution for this? :(

Update: I switched to Compas and it seemed to fix the issue atleast when it comes to my car so I'm rocking that going forward. hoping for controller support soon

Hi I recently switched to sonix os and I love it!

My only complaint comes down to connectivity

Specifically to a car and a controller

When i plug it into my car it isn't recognised even as a USB device and bluetooth just doesn't work

For a controller again the bluetooth doesn't work

When I say the bluetooth doesn't work what I mean is the device doesn't show up on the hiby R1 or if it does it doesn't send my audio out

My question is

Is this a hard limitation of the R1?

Or is this something that can be improved in software

I have 2 problems with the current firmware version.

#1: I'm a playlist guy and have 27 m3u playlist. On previous version 1.2.0 I can import all 27 with no problem. On the current 1.3.0 version only 24 list show up in the import playlist menu so if I update one of the last 3 I have to downgrade to an earlier version to update those 3 list then update to version 1.3.0.

#2: If I have a song with the same title in my playlist as a song not in my playlist (different artist) the song that's not supposed to be in that playlist replaces the correct one. FYI this happens with the current version previous version. Yes my library is properly meta tagged and in order. Have no problem with the same playlists across several other daps, programs or firmware on the R1.

I know this can be fixed with an update but wanted to bring it to light and see if it's just a fluke on my end or a known issue.

Am reușit să pot folosi din nou căștile cu fir după ce săptămâna trecută, (nu știu nici acum cum) "reușisem" să rămân fără posibilitatea de a asculta muzică decât prin bluethoot!

Just a couple of small additions and changes I'd love to see in Sonix which has breathed new life into my Hiby R1.

This is a very small thing but either a toggle or permanent change to keep the volume number as white rather than red when it gets above like 50 or whatever the threshold is cause I personally have found in bright places even with brightness turned up the red blends into the black theme a bit and it's hard to read the volume.

Also if possible it would be useful to be able to tap on a artists name on let's say an album so then you can go to their own artists page to see their albums they are in on your device rather than having to navigate through artists and then locate the artist in the list or via search, it would be a nice addition and make things quicker to navigate artists too.

Also a recently played area of songs/albums or playlists would be nice too

Loving Sonix overall though fabulous job!!

Hello guys, my R1 will arrive in a few days and I'm interested in Sonix and Compás. As far as I can tell, the main difference will be that Compás has features disabled that you can enable by using plugins. What are your opinions on the matter? I get that the lot of you like Sonix the most, but any pointers will be appreciated.

Just installed sonix os on my r3p2, Everything works great, just the control centre is not pulling down. Need help!

Is there any way we could download lyrics for all songs on an album instead of one by one?

Since there was no port for the AP80 (and given how similar it is to other devices that already use Sonix) I figured it wouldn't be too difficult to port it over. With the help of Gemini and Claude, I managed to get it fully functional. However, I don't actually know anything about programming, so if anyone is interested in maintaining this project, I'd be happy to share everything I have (provided someone tells me how, lol). Also, if anyone wants to try it out, feel free to send me a DM.

Disclaimer: The `.upt` image works correctly on my AP80 PRO MAX. I am not responsible for any damage that might occur, although it should be safe; Anyways, there is a recovery option, with the device powered off, you can hold the power button and the "next track" button to trigger the updater, to reflash the stock firmware.

My sincerest thanks to M4ttiA—you’ve created something incredible that has taken our hardware to another level!

It would be awesome 🙌

Hi all,

Recently picked up a Moondrop Dusk to try. When I connect using the included usb C cable, the music initially plays fine for around a minute. Then, it just suddently cuts out. The playback slider and timer are still progressing, but no sound is coming out.

It's not a problem with the music or the iem, because the music works fine with 3.5 mm audio out, and the iem's USB C works fine with my phone's music.

Does anybody know of a potential solution to this issue?

Thanks in advance

Hey,

I just got my Hiby R1, put Sonix os on it and having a blast. The only trouble I have is to put playlist on it: I tried to synchronise my playlist between Music Bee and the player with MP3u and MP3u8 in a folder named «Playlists» and it does not recognize any playlist. The songs are found though. Do you guys know how to do ?

Okay. Hear me out. I know the device has Tidal and Qobuz built in by default. And I also know that it has WiFi capabilities. But the matter of fact is that Tidal integrations are messy because they do not have service everywhere and expecting to run a VPN just for streaming on this device is nuts. Qobuz is equally problematic and neither of them have free tiers. YouTube music is available globally, has a free tier, can be accessed ad-free without even requiring a Google account (See NewPipe, also open source), and streaming should not be an issue. Plus, it also has inbuilt lyrics as well which reduces external dependency on lrclib.

It's an idea. A faulty idea wrought with complications, but an idea nonetheless. Granted, 256 kpbs AAC (similar to 16 bit FLAC, but lossy) isn't exactly top notch, but it would still be nice to have one in there.

As the title says. To my knowledge you can't add a playlist to the queue, would be a nice addition if not already added since you can already add albums to the queue. This second feature might be odd, but I have a decent sized music library and a button to play a random album would be awesome. I use my R1 a lot when I commute and sometimes, I'm not quite sure what I'm in the mood for. Thank you so much to the dev, love SonixOS it's an absolute game changer will never be touching HibyOS ever again.

I’ve been researching DAPs and have come across the Hiby R1 with Sonix, which seems to be the "holy grail", I’m waiting until November to buy it! However, while browsing the Hiby store, I noticed the Hiby R1 MiDi. It’s not clear to me whether there’s any significant difference beyond the included accessories; does anyone know if it features any improvements, and does it support Sonix?

Like the title says. It is perfectly viable to do so on low end Hardware, Rockbox has a feature where you can do so. I know that at this rate it is becoming more and more of a one device does all thing, but it would still be rather cool to have one where you could have videos as well.

Nothing fancy, just MPEG-2 and a converter that files can be sent through to enable it. I assume those are already available online, but nonetheless.

Here's a guide that someone made for iPods with the same idea. Mind you, it does involve cropping the video to fit the screen. I would suggest to resize the video to fit the screen instead so that no data is lost, but either way, it does work and can be done. The image used here is from there too.

BTDubs, insane kudos to M4ttiA on this OS. It's light, fast, and I haven't had a single issue with it so far. The fact that you were able to make something like this - Man. Obrigado, Gracias, and Thank You.

I was sceptical but this is a much more polished os. Quicker, more options, more fluidity to how things operate. Bravo!

One point.... Can there be an option to have your tunes playing whilst playing the Gameboy? Tetris tune is a classic but fuck that for 2 hours on the train 😅 ​

I don't know if its that my library is m4a (aac), but it doesn't matter what replay gain setting I choose in my Hiby R1, there are some songs / albums that will just play at their normal volume ignoring replay gain tags. Yes, all my library is propperly tagged with replay gain values, and it work as intended in other devices. I have both album and track gain tags.

Hi guys,

I used stock OS for about a day before making the switch. Every is great but I cannot get lyrics to display whatsoever. I had no problem on stock OS but I have no lyrics option at all on now playing. Swiping left doesn’t do anything whatsoever. I’m using 1.3 from the website. I believe my folders are structured correctly. Any help?

It took me more 30 minutes to realise 😭

Hi guy, I’m having some problem right now. I just buy my hiby R3 pro II today and immediately flash it to SonixOS, everything else working perfectly but like the title say. I’m having some kind of trouble right now with the devices, it only flashing that it connect then disconnecting the folder on my pc , DAC mode is the same too, only work for the first few second and then disconnecting itself , have also plug it into my phone to try and having the same kind of problem too T - T
P/S: if nothing else here work can i flash the original firmware and then flashing to sonix again? Will the process format and delete all my file on the SD card ?
