I need to raise this topic again. I’m running out of ideas here. I’m coming from this thread:
My setup is described there. I’m not using USB-bridge anymore, now I’m streaming to Linn Akurate DSM.
And while that thread was marked solved, problems continue infrequently.
I write to this topic since currently I’m experiencing this error message all the time and while searching Roon-forum about it, my own topic comes on top every time:
Debug: [prebuffer] sleeping in read – this isn’t good
Another common error message in roonserver.log is this one:
Trace: [push] restarting connection (Unable to read data from the transport connection: A blocking operation was interrupted by a call to WSACancelBlockingCall.)
I just can’t figure these out. I’ve spent tens of hours trying to solve this and nothing helps. My first question would be: What’s sleeping? There’s zero power saving features enabled on Asus BIOS, Windows 10, D-Link router settings, HDD settings… anywhere. Nothing should be sleeping ever on this PC unless I shut it down completely.
This problem is not related to the Steam and Windows Antivirus I/O usage I described earlier. It happens when the RoonServer and Roon are running with nothing else taking resources on my computer. Am I missing some power saving features somewhere?
I guess I just need to start spending money to buy a separate switch, new router or new storage drives to find out what causes this. It’s funny that I can stream 4K video to my TV with zero hiccups and I can play the most demanding PC games online with zero lag or problems but streaming FLAC files to Linn ADSM with Roon seems to be impossible task… ridiculous.
Here’s the latest:
