Description Of Issue

Was working fine until the past week. Now there are random dropouts and sometimes songs end early and it jumps to the next song. Haven’t had the issue when streaming to a chromecast (but have only done some smaller tests). This is only playing Qobuz. No local files. In the past week there was a MacOS update, Roon update, and Bluesound firmware update so hard to pin down where it broke.

Hi @Jesse_Coane,

@Jesse_Coane

Can you try temporarily connecting your Macbook via Ethernet instead of WiFi? This will help eliminate WiFi as being a source of the issue.

If you try playing to your Macbook’s System Output zone (the internal speakers), do you notice any issues there?

Knowing if local files work would be a good data point. If you don’t have any local files, you can download a few samples from the 2L Test Bench (right-click on the file size -> save as).
