Description of Issue

Dear ROON users,

I’ve been using ROON for about half a year now and I keep having problems playing music.

First, I have the following hardware that I use for playing the music.

1- Netgear NAS with four drives of 6TB each containing all my albems. (library).
2- Cirrus 7 Nimbini with ROON installed on it. (LINUX)
3- Auralic Aries G1 streaming transporter
4- Samsung tablet with the ROON app.

My modem is in bridge mode in my meter cupboard and I have installed Unifi routers throughout the house.

So the Auralic Aries streams the music wirelessly.

Now it is the case that when I play music, it plays music for about 1 to 2 minutes and then the music stops playing and a text appears at the bottom where the time bar is located (An audio file is loading slowly. This may indicate a performance or hardware problem). What problem could this be.

Very occasionally I can listen to music for an evening with none of the above mentioned problem.

I have the latest updates installed so I don’t think it could be that.

Can someone tell me how this is possible and what the solution is

thanks in advance

You probably won’t like my answer, that it’s likely caused by your local WiFi setup.

If not too troublesome for you, you could run the Auralic hardwired for a test to see if that eliminates the problem, then work from there…

Hi Marin,

I have already tried that to connect the Auralic wired, but it gives the same problems.
So the Wifi is not a problem either
