What about the issues you and @brian went back and forth on previously in this thread? Have you two worked together on resolving these issues?

4.12.2 registered and working fine without Roon, no issues when I use hqpdcontrol as remote other than itās limitations. There are no errors when playback stops, there are songs in the queue but Roon has lost track of playback. When the second song plays, the playbar still shows the first song and no progress, when the song ends playback just stops
Still discussingā¦ Thereās no easy fix here. Thereās an architectural problem with the integration that causes this problem with some extremely long filters. We are looking into long-term solutions.
When this integration was created many years ago, these problems existed but were not noticeable. HQ Player has continued to improve and push the boundaries of what is possible. This integration requires modernization to keep up.

Iām just glad too hear that Roon folks think that HQPlayer is important enough to warrant conversations with @jussi_laako on modernizing the integration!! I just hope those discussions lead to actual improvements!!!

Roon has an option to pre-roll a few seconds of silence which is supposed to help certain players/DAC enough time to adjust to format changes. Itās called āre-sync delayā.
Would a post-roll solve the issue with HQPlayer?
I mean the problem is that whenever a format is changed, the end of the current playing track is cut off, so if Roon is set to add a post-roll of silence wouldnāt the cut go unnoticed as it is done over a silent patch?
Obviously this is not a real solution but at least it is an enabler for smooth listening.

I, too, am having problems. I have HQplayer embedded on an Aqua Linq attached to a Roon Nucleus. I have noticed that the progress bar is behind the progress of the music. That is okay. However, it sometimes skips the end of the tracks and when playing an album last night got the tracks scrambled. There was also one small missing bit in the middle of a track. I gather from this thread that this might be an integration problem. I donāt think I have any access to a setting that would help. The sound is great, but any help appreciated.
I wonder what version of HQPlayer you have in the LinQ?
Iām not sure. The module is brand new so I think it would be the most recent? Last night was exceptional and I got frustrated, but 99% of the time it plays perfectly.
Check out /about page of the HQPlayer web interface what it says about the version.
I havenāt done that before but managed. It says HQplayer 4 embedded.
I looked on your site and there is a number for most recent numbered version, but I canāt see that.
I am not doing well at sending the file. First it wouldnāt take tiff. Now it isnāt actually sending file?
Seems to have worked
Page is longer
OK, that is /config page, at the bottom you have link to āAboutā pageā¦ Or you can just change the path in browser URL field from /config to /about
Version
4.21.1
Is the version the problem? I have the impression I canāt change it directly over the web and that it is a firmware update? If it is, I canāt do anything for some time. I donāt have sufficient internet speed for what the other side requires, and I canāt access better because the nearest place is in lockdown (Covid).
It could be, I did quite a bit of streaming rework since then. So I would recommend to check with Aqua for software update first. Since there are so many releases in between with a lot of fixes and improvements, it is hard to troubleshoot version dating back to end of January.
I am not streaming but playing downloaded albums. But perhaps it is the same thing to the LinQ. I will check it out since it should be up to date. Thank you!!
Roon ā HQPlayer playback is always streaming between the two.
