After installing the 911 update on my Macbook Air M1 running Moneterey 12.2.1 Roon wont start playback via HQPlayer 4.17.0 and instead freeze HQPlayer.
So I finally managed to get the playback starting… but it took 1 minute and 22 seconds to start. Stopped the time with my phone… when skipping to the next song or trying to start another song from another album it takes super long or doesnt start at all…
Something is seriously wrong here…

Hmm. can you list the filter, modulators used as well as source resolution. Those things can affect the time for playback to begin as it is doing processing. See, this post for an extreme example.
The same filters and modulators I used for months and playback alwas started after a few seconds. This changed with the update.
SDM, poly-sinc-xtr-short-mp-2s, ASDM7 but I also tried PCM, poly-sinc-xtr-short-mp-2s with LNS15 and the behavior was the same. Playback needs minutes to start.
Hmm, yes the DSD playback, that took about 1 second on my PC from a local 24/192 source. However, I am not familiar with Mac as to other suggestions. But, I’ll ping @jussi_laako who might have some ideas what could be going on.
Initialization times can vary a lot depending on filter choice and conversion ratio. Going from 44.1k family to 48k family is heaviest, going from 48k family to 44.1k family is luckily faster. Sticking to same rate is always fastest.
