Hey @Howard_Borenstein1 — Thank you for your report, it’s very appreciated!
I’m sorry to hear you’re having difficulties here. So I can get a better idea of what may be happening, may I kindly ask that you please provide a brief description of your current setup using this link as a guide.
Make sure to describe your network configuration/topology, including any networking hardware currently in use, so we can have a clear understanding of how your devices are communicating.
Songs cut out (seem to be almost buffering) and resume 10 or so seconds later. Doesn’t happen every FLAC song but most. And happens 2 or 3 times a song
To clarify the above, may I ask that you please verify the following:
- Are you using local and TIDAL? Does it happen for both?
- Does this happen for all endpoints? For example, if you play to system output on the Core machine, do you still experience this behavior?
Sometimes, it won’t even find the speakers. I then go to Bluesound app (BLUEOS) to start the system. Sometimes even BLUEOS has trouble starting.
- Is this with all endpoints?
- How are the affected endpoints connected?
- Are your endpoints all on the latest firmware?
Based on your report it sounds like there may be some connection issues occurring on the Core. In order to troubleshoot further, I’d like to recommend some steps:
- Reboot the Core machine, networking hardware, and affected endpoints.
- If you have any enabled antivirus or firewall on the Core machine, try disabling them.
Does the experience improve any after following the above steps?
Regards,
Dylan
