Replacement NUC or similar Mini PC to simply move SSD into from current NUC11?

    • New

    Long story short: There is some sort of hardware audio bug with NUC11 devices and LibreELEC, which causes the audio driver to break until I reboot the machine. Very frustrated with it, and not able to solve it (check my post history..)

    Currently using the Intel NUC11PAHi3, and I want to get a new NUC or similar with which I can simply move the SATA SSD and not have to set up everything again like a fresh install. Potentially like the ASUS RNUC13ANKI30000UI for instance

    Is LibreELEC picky about booting on similar x86 hardware? Anything I need to know?

    We have been using the same syslinux bootloader for aeons (unless EFI booting, but that's similar) so the drive should be movable between devices. You might need to reset the audio config afterwards as device names might/will change, but that's probably all.

    Good luck on whether the ASUS NUC will resolve your audio dropout issue. See my response on this thread. I've given up on the Intel platform for now and bought a Beelink with AMD. So far it's been rock solid and no dropouts.

    Thanks,

    Thank you, swapping over worked without a hitch!

    I can confirm that I have no more audio issues now that I moved on from my NUC11. Everything just works :)
