24/96 files fail after a period of time on my Squeezebox Touch. Sometimes high res files will play for three or four songs, once even over a half hour, then fail to noise. Once playback has failed, attempts to play another high res file will fail in less than a couple minutes, usually in seconds. This with RoonServer (v1.2, build 157) running on my Fedora 22 machine. Roon was installed by the easy install script. Data is on a Samba share on a different machine.
When I change Cores and attach the Touch to a RoonServer running on my Mac laptop (also v1.2, build 157) 24/96 files behave as expected. 192 KHz material exhibits some pauses, but thatās probably down to network issues, given the more complicated network path to and from the laptop.
96K (and 192K) music plays properly from LMS (7.8.0) to the Touch.
The ālimit sample rateā dialog in Roon controller does not show an option above 48 KHz for the Touch when connected to the Linux server and properly shows 96 KHz as an option when connected to the Macās server.
The Touch runs firmware 7.8.0 and Enhanced Digital Output 0.9. I stripped the firmware from the Touch, reinstalled it, and uninstalled and reinstalled EDO. Behavior was the same, both before and after each, and with and without EDO. Another Touch (FW 7.7.3) behaves the same way. Research on the Squeexebox Forums indicates that that there is no way of downgrading hi-res performance of the Touch, sort of rewriting its software.
The fact that music would play for a while and then fail made it very vexing to try to pin down where the issue was. Or, for that matter, what the issue was. I thought at first that it only manifested when EDO was set to ādigital onlyā. It turned out not to be dependent on EDO. That said, as I write this, the Mac instance of RoonServer -> Touch has been playing 24/96 material for about four hours. The only variable changed was the server, so Iām pretty sure Iāve isolated the problem.
And no, running Roon on my laptop is not a sustainable solution.
Ideas, anybody?
Iāll attach a log file from the server on the Linux machine.Hmm. No I wonāt. Text files canāt be uploaded. Iāll put it in Dropbox, here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/uvzxwxwu0vas82a/RoonServer_log.02.txt?dl=0
Another symptom: I just noticed that the Queue populates when you click play album as expected on the Mac server, but not on the Linux one.
