Description of Issue

I have been having audio drops and at static while using Roon only. This happens very frequently. if I group the BlueSound Pulse mini and the node 2i the audio drop and static is only produced on the node 2i system. if i switch to the BueOS app, and not use roon everything works fine. I haven’t made any network or gear changes, It has worked fine in the past with this system and I’m not sure why this started happening. Any help very much appreciated.

Sound crackling and dropping out Bluesound node only using Roon

Good news! I deleted my Library/Network Share in BluOS and listened to Roon. Clean sound; no breakup or crackling. So then I rebuilt my Library in BluOS. And the sound remains rock solid. Wow, I would never have thought that the library in BluOS could affect the sound quality through Roon. But there it is. I’ve been listening for a couple of hours. No break up. Thank you, Otto_Wilhelm and Robert_F.
