I have noticed since a few days ago Qobuz albums are not gapless. This does not happen with local files. Please help. It is very annoying

Gapless seems to be working ok for me with Qobuz. Went to my go-to gapless test: Sgt. Pepper!

EDIT: Windows 10 Core, Build 1178.

Same here. Gapless works fine with Qobuz, tested it with Marillion’s “The Thieving Magpie”. I hope it stays that way.
I am using a Roon Nucleus as the core.

Have noticed the same. But it seems that the problem is intermittent or at least worsens at some times. There’s another active thread on the forum with users reporting larger than usual times between tracks when playing back albums from Qobuz. Still no reaction by Roon support.

OK… I might have to test a few more albums tonight…

At the moment it seems to be working fine at my place. But I did notice considerable gaps between tracks at several point in time during the last few days. I always checked my Internet connection and local network, which at all times were ok. As quite a few people have noticed the same, I do think that something is or was amiss with the Roon-Qobuz interaction. The first reports came four days ago, I believe, and there has been no acknowledgement by Roon support since. And, of course, as always there are those quick to attribute any problem to the users’ network…

I have the same problem too, not gapless on Qobuz anymore. Try for instance the HigRes of The Wall Pink Floyd and I run into this problem.

Wired internet from M1 Mac mini to Auralic G1. If I play that same album on Qobuz directly via the Lightning DS Auralic player - I do NOT have this problem.

Seems Roon is causing the problem.

Same here. Very frustrating. Please acknowledge this and fox it Roon!

Is anyone from support gonna say anything about this issue?

It’s been discussed over on this topic:

and there’s some sense of it in this topic as well:

No acknowledgement by the support team, either…

I have not had gapless for a while and now it can sometimes take almost minute to play the next track. Also having issues with cover artwork recently.
