Volumio reset

Volumio settings/factory reset

There are two types of reset for Volumio. One reverts to the default settings, and one restores the complete Volumio installation to the version that was delivered from the factory. Use the second version if your Volumio installation has become corrupted and you are no longer able to access the Volumio web interface. Neither version has any effect on the plugin settings or Dirac Live calibration.

Factory reset (settings only)

The Volumio interface to check for updates and reset all settings

In the Volumio web interface, navigate to Settings then System. Scroll down to the System Version section and click on the Factory Reset button. The Volumio web interface will become unresponsive for a minute or so while the settings are reset. You will need to enter all your settings again.

Factory reset (settings and installation)

Use this method if Volumio has become corrupted and you are unable to access the Volumio web interface.

  1. Insert a blank USB stick into your computer. Make sure it is formatted in FAT32 format.

  2. In your web browser, go to the location http://repo.volumio.org/Primo/factory_reset. Save the file download to the USB stick and eject the stick from your computer. Do not rename or modify the file.

  3. Power off your miniDSP SHD Power and insert the USB stick. Power it on again.

  4. Volumio will revert to the factory version. This can take up to ten minutes, during which time the Volumio web interface will be unresponsive.

  5. When the Volumio web interface responds again, proceed through the setup wizard. Go to Settings then System. Scroll down to the System Version section and click on the Check Updates button. Update your Volumio to the latest version.

  6. Update any remaining settings to how you had it before the reset.

Tip

If you had renamed your system in the Volumio settings, you will need to access the web interface using the default name.

The factory_reset file is removed from the USB stick during this process. If you want to do the reset again, you will need to copy the file to the USB stick again.
