ROON / HQPLAYER stops when new track sample rate changes

@Robohips / @Benno / @DJD ---- Thank you for the feedback here, the insight is very appreciated!

Moving forward, to help aide in our evaluation of this behavior you are experiencing with Roon + HQPlayer, may I very kindly ask you to please provide the following (if you have not already):

Setup Details:

  • A brief but accurate description of your current setup using this link as a guide. The points that I am most interested in are the following:

    • The make, model, and specs of the device hosting your Roon core.

    • The make, model, and specs of the device hosting HQPlayer.

    • Where your musical collection is being stored.

    • The endpoint (or endpoints) that you are experiencing the issue with and all devices involved with that (those) audio zone(s).

General Data Gathering:

  • Pease provide screenshots of…

    • Your signal path leaving Roon when the behavior occurs.

    • Your Roon settings.

    • Your HQPlayer settings.

  • Based on your feedback it seems that when Roon is left out of the equation there are no issues when upsampling. Has the opposite been confirmed? In other words if the upsampling was handled by Roon DSP engine do you make the same observations?

  • Please very briefly walk us through the steps (from a procedural stand point) that reliable reproduce the reported behavior, based on your individual usages of Roon with HQPayer.
