UBUNTU

Did you have any lock?

I got Ubuntu running on the second volume but after update of ubuntu it stalls with a prompt at startup.
[Android Stick & Console Intel based Computers] asivilya:
hello again,

did anyone got to successfully play dts-hd or truehd passthru???

tnx

Sorry, no solution at now

Oh, sad :( thank u anyway!
[Android Stick & Console Intel based Computers] gerrynamfc:
Yes DTS passes through the HDMI just fine but only if the EDID from the target device specifies it otherwise it will only output 2ch stereo

I have the Voyo HDMI out going in to a HDMI audio extractor to convert the audio to optical for my soundbar. This extractor also spoofs the EDID to fool the PC to sending 5.1 even though my Samsung TV only passes 2.1 audio.

Gerry
[Android Stick & Console Intel based Computers] asivilya:
hi,

please notice i asked about Dts-HD and Dolby TrueHD (7.1 not 5.1)

b.t.w mine is connected with the HDMI directly to the receiver without any audio extractor.

anyway tnx for your reply!
[Android Stick & Console Intel based Computers] gerrynamfc:
I had DTS-HD playing last night from the Voyo while watching Oblivion.

Works OK.

Just a Thought ... or two

Hello all. I have not as yet purchased one of these but plan to. In reading about the possible cheap/poor quality battery used and people breaking the glass trying to get into these things it occurred to me that it is built like an apple phone .... meaning that buying a cheap cell phone repair kit consisting of a suction cup (for pulling on glass screens) and several plastic shim tools would save lots of hassle and breakage....

As for Linux install.. I cannot post a link but can quote some text from a post that may shed some light.. you can use the text to search for the posting..

> Quoted text

As of now, Ubuntu and other major Linux distributions do not support the use of a 32-bit EFI bootloader on UEFI machines. This has become extremely problematic due to the popularity of Intel Atom-based tablets and compact laptops. Atom-based devices are generally limited in storage space (32GB or 64GB eMMC is common), and as a result these devices almost universally ship with Windows 8.1 32-bit installed (winsxs consumes a significant amount of storage space in order to support 32-bit binaries in a 64-bit environment). By design, UEFI must use the same architecture used by the bootloader.

>End Quoted text.

Cheers !

Having read 10 pages, let me add a simple problem which beginners might come across. I received it today and after using it for awhile - it just turned off. I could get it to turn on for a short while before it just kept switching off again. Turns out the AC/DC adaptor which it came with was broken. I tried a similar one which was powering my IP Camera and managed to get it on and even see that it was charging. Stopped charging when I switched back to the original adaptor. It comes with a 5V 3A AC/DC adaptor. Cheapest I can find is about £9 in UK and £3 from China. I was concerned about the quality from China and ended up using the UK product. I did get it quite cheap at £55 from Gearbest. It runs quite hot - I hope its safe as my confidence with this product is wavering now. I am using it for Kodi and have audio pass through at 5.1 to my receiver without any problem.

I am tempted to disable windows update as some of you have mentioned that it can break the system but presumably at the risk of having a security breach.
[Android Stick & Console Intel based Computers] dearleuk:
Thanks for this. I'm having the exact same problem. Found an old charger from something else and it seems to be charging now, at least the red light is on.

Fingers crossed it has solved the problem. If I hadn't seen your post, mine would be on the way back to china
[Android Stick & Console Intel based Computers] raven6679:
I already have shipped back to China my piece, because this device (in my opinion) is a crap.

First, battery + included charger cannot actually charge this device, even if it was plugged in to wall outlet, battery percentage was falling slowly until 0% and then the whole thing just turn off... USELESS!

Second: even in idle mode (running only Windows OS) internal temperature of processor was ca. about 80°C. External chassis was actually so hot, that it could cause burn.

Poor Internet

Hey guys, I'm hoping someone can help me out as I'm at a bit of a loss, I have one of these machines two days now but the Internet speed is awful I just cannot get anywhere near what I can currently get on any device in my house. I have a steady 50mb speed by ethernet and 40+ on WiFi but on this device I can't only get 3mb on WiFi and 8mb on direct ethernet connection. I tried installing the driver I found a backup on this forum but I still cannot get a decent connection.

You will not get any higher speed than that via WiFi. Just deal with it. This is the "quality" of this gear.

Voyo Windows 10 issues

Just received my Voyo V2 yesterday and after about a half an hour of use Windows 10 has crashed. I keep getting the message PC ran into a problem and needs to restart. System thread not handled error comes up as well. I've created a bootable usb with Windows 10 but I can't see what settings in the bios allow you to boot from a usb. I'm at my wits end. By the way I can access safe mode, but not safe mode with networking or command prompt.

Voyo V2 Drivers

Ladies and Gentlemen it just does not get better then the link I am going to provide you. Device Specific, do not download this unless you have a Voyo V2 MiniPC. The package I am providing is for Windows 10, however I have ran this device in Android 6.01 and Ubuntu Xenial. I am a O/S developer I hope you can accept the things I say, I have over 20 years Windows Experience & over 10 years Linux and a small factor of Android. Even though I have built Android based O/S's and have written software to automate such things.

Short comings a driver and yes I will resolve it as well, however does not get better if you have to re-install Win 10 on your Voyo V2. Like I said, I build O/S's for greater then 10 years and have seen Millions of downloads & none of them small. I see Petabytes of transfer and servers drop offline all the time. Want to take this as a grain of salt feel free. I can assure you as of current standings does not get better.

I would post the link, but... To prevent spam on the XDA forums, ALL new users prevented from posting outside links in their messages. After approximately 10 posts, you will be able to post outside links. Thank you for understanding!

ADMIN: I am Glenn "TheeMahn" Cady. Please feel free to Google me & remove my restriction. The bottom line, I want to help your users as well as your forum. I am all about education.

Red alert

Hi.

I’m trying to open VOYO for the 1st time.

both HDMI cable and the other cable are in, but the power button show red color all the time. is it need to recharged for the 1st time?

Thanks.
[Android Stick & Console Intel based Computers] eliafino:
Yes, I can,

this is a dump from my bios
[Android Stick & Console Intel based Computers] beaumix:
JUNK

upon first boot, it began to update Windows10. Upon rebooting, the Windows bootloader was lost. Then the USB ports became disabled, so now there is absolutely no way to input anything into it, as the keyboard and mouse are not recognized. It boots to Windows 10, waits for input, then shuts down. If there is a way to access the bios without a keyboard please let me know. Its a paperweight right now.
[Android Stick & Console Intel based Computers] eliafino:

I try flash into my dead voyo
[Android Stick & Console Intel based Computers] TheTen:
Hiya,

Hoping for some help and insight...

Just bought a Voyo V2 to replace an AMD Fusion based mini-ITX openelec media box which worked very well until it died.

Out of the box the V2 was a little dream, I was very impressed. I got it up to date on Windows Updates, installed Kodi Isengard (latest stable), used Launcher4Kodi to set it up like an appliance, and used AeroTweak to remove some of the obvious signs of Windows loading.

At some point during this process I had a very nicely working Kodi box which runs smooth 1080p video both 2D & 3D, and outputs sound properly to my amp. I'm pretty sure that a single press of the power button could put the V2 to sleep, and another press could bring it back to life. I'm also pretty sure that at some point after Windows10 put itself to sleep, a tap on the mouse button or bluetooth keyboard could bring it back up.

But then I suddenly became aware that Yatse and Kore on Android were capable of operating and putting to sleep a running Kodi system, but were unable to wake on lan, wake up, or turn on the V2 running Kodi, a fairly fundamental feature of a media centre PC.

So while exploring this deficiency, I suddenly noticed that the sleep procedure was not running as I planned it should... I have both Kodi and Windows 10 set to go into 'sleep' mode when a timer triggers - Windows 10 does it 50 mins before Kodi is set to. And it works. Problem is, the machine then turns off to a red power status button, and no amount of mouse clicking, keyboard tapping or single-press power button pressing will bring it back up. I have to hold the power button for 5 seconds to initiate a reboot. I've updated the WIFI driver from the manufacturer website (two versions newer than the Windows Update installed version, but it seems to make no difference. I seem to remember this being better and easier to use than it seems to allow now - no easy restart from sleep, no stable sleep mode, no wake on lan, anything but the behaviour of a good media centre....

Please, does anyone have any experience or input on why I can't get this to work as desired?

Auto power on after power failure

Any of the VOYO V2 owners have the answer to the first question?
[Android Stick & Console Intel based Computers] bazero:
My Voyo V2 use the internal battery also when plugged in and after 2.5 hours the battery gets empty and then the Voyo shutdown/crash. I want the Voyo works without interruption and for that must use the external power by default (don't use the battery by default if external power is connected).

1- Is this is the normal mode for the Voyo V2 or is this a fault in my unit?

2- It's possible by software to switch the power mode to work direct from the external power and not from the battery?

3- If the power source can be changed via software, what is the correct procedure? I prefer a software solution and not to modify the hardware. It's faster, simple to do, without hardware damage and no additional cost.

4- If the problem comes from bad electronic design and no chance to repair via software, perhaps can be a solution to open the module and to remove the internal battery and then to connect a power supply of 4 Volts at same points. In this case I expect to see forever on the screen the icon with full battery indication and consequently to work without more sudden shutdown. Is this OK? Someone have made something similar?
[Android Stick & Console Intel based Computers] GunterO:
No, but I can, because I owned one (until it broke down). There isn't such a BIOS option.

But stay away from this device. Too many are failing...
[Android Stick & Console Intel based Computers] raven6679:
Ad. 1 & 2

this is unfortunately normal behavior, it is using battery even when plugged in and after some time device shutdown itself

AFAIK you cannot modify this behavior by software, it's just this crappy design of this box
[Android Stick & Console Intel based Computers] GunterO:
I had the same problem. As long the CPU usage is low (+/-5% max) the battery isn't drained. But when some process is claiming more CPU time, the battery was draining indeed (when plugged in).

Maybe you could try a charger which can supply more amps and see if this helps?

BTW, opening this device isn't easy without braking the glass. So be careful ;)
[Android Stick & Console Intel based Computers] blinkone:
There is a guide how to open it somewhere on here.But to sum it up you will need to slide a very thin bit of plastic under the glass all the way round & then the glass should come off, just take it easy
[Android Stick & Console Intel based Computers] sergt80:
Battery in my voyo became bloated after several month. It almost damaged the motherboard. I have replaced it with 500mah battery from my old car dvr. It is still showing status "charging" with 8% after 3 days but the device is working fine all that time. So in case of disassembling make sure you check the battery

Win10 or Win8

Did you install Windows 10, I tried but it tells me not genuine Windows (i looked for the Win10 key in the BIOS). Or should I install Win 8 first and then update?

But how do you install Windows 10 from USB?

I think im not the only one that can only access to BIOS. Nothing else, and in BIOS there is nothing that i can choose like start from USB.

Thats the problem!

Here are the drivers:

http://rg.to/file/4138efad44f98831838f77aa7033f1c4/Voyo_V2_Windows_10_DD_Drivers.rar.html
[Android Stick & Console Intel based Computers] fabtje:
Hello,

Thanks for your reply. When you create an USB stick with the Windows Media Creation Tool, I have a workable USB stick.

When starting up the Voyo V2, I click ESC on startup, and I do get a menu. I can't add images throug a link (i'm too new, hope my description is clear).

You then chose BOOT MANAGER, and when you do so (while the USB stick is already plugged in on the Voyo V2 at startup time), I do suddenly get a fourth option (with the name/description of my stick), where I can boot from my USB stick and in that way install Windows 10.

I'm surprised, i did it again, and now my Windows is legitime :). So, I'll install the drivers, and it should work hopefully :).

I tried the same procedure for installing Linux Mint, but when having Linux Mint on a boot USB (working on another PC), the fourth option using BOOT MANAGER is not appearing, blocking me to install Linux Mint on the VOYO V2 :(.

I hope this helps you out!
[Android Stick & Console Intel based Computers] txetxu02:
Hi, first of all, thanks for your help

Y create a booteable usb, but not with Windows Media Creation Tool, i did it with rufus, that usb stick works in my others pcs, but not in voyo. I'll try to do it with Windows Media Creation Too and i comment here.

Oh My God

THATS THE SOLUTION

Use Rufus and a Pen Drive.

In RUFUS - System files select GPT FOR MBR.

Select Windows ISO (should be x86 version) and START.

Once finished, plug the USB in VOYO and start it.

Press ESC and enter Bios Options, select Boot Manager and a 4th option should appear. Select it and install Windows again.

Drivers are in my link.

Tap DouBleDriver and execute as administrator.

Click Restore

Locate Backup

Other Location

Select the folder Baytrail2...,

All available drivers shoul load

sellect all

Restore Now

When finished, Reboot
[Android Stick & Console Intel based Computers] fabtje:
Hello, thanks for the procedure. I executed it. There seems to be some devices not installed.

However my bluetooth is working, wifi is not (in my case i don't required wifi).

I manually removed the 3 not working drivers in "Device Manager" and also checked to remove the files. I rebooted and the systeem started installing the devices automatically.

Now WIFI is working. The only device not installed is for "Display adapters - Intel(R) HD Graphics", but I do see the output :).

The WIFI drivers seems ok, however I could not connect at first to the wifi, don't know why. I tried several times, and now I'm on wifi. However, i'll be using wired LAN anyway.

Hope this helps.
