I am running latest ROCK (Version 1.0, Build 159, same issues on 158) on an Intel NUC7i5 connected via USB to a Holo Cyan DAC/Headphone amplifier (uses XMOS xu208 for USB)
Setup has been running fine for a few weeks, but lately running started running into an issue when I skip to the next track I hear a crinkly/static noise in my headphones, audio cuts off, and the Roon keeps playing the song and the DAC registers the bitrate still coming in but no audio comes through
If I cycle through the inputs on my DAC and come back around the USB then Roon and audio will re-engage with the DAC. Otherwise I need to reboot the NUC or unplug/re-plug USB
Doesn’t happen every time I skip a song but will happen within ~10 song skips, very repeatable incident. Happens most often on skipping a song whether jumping through album or playlist, and especially when playing Roon Radio, but sometimes even happens when I just select a new song to play - same static noise and cut out
All my audio is stored locally on a MicroSD card that is on a USB adapter plugged into the NUC. I have tried a different card adapter and swapped around to various USB ports for both storage and USB feed to DAC and issue persists on different ports
Have tried different USB cables as well. DAC was bought new very recently so unlikely the USB connection there is bust
The NUC is running ROCK and controlled via Wifi remote on my Macbook air or iPhone, issue happens with either remote source
Pretty small library with a little under 3,000 tracks total, ~95gb mostly all FLAC
Intel NUC is 7th gen, i5 processor, 8gb of ram, 120gb M2 internal SSD for OS storage (NUC7i5BNK)
Using my Macbook Air as a Roon Core I don’t get this issue at all even using same MicroSD card, adapter, USB cable, DAC/AMP and headphones
I have reinstalled ROCK from the online access page as well as done a fully manual reinstall from USB boot drive. Issue persists after both re-installations
So my troubleshooting has narrowed the issue down to ROCK or the NUC but looking for any help beyond that?
