Roon problems with Apple M2

2023 Apple Mac mini, 16GB Ram, Venture 13.4, Roon 2.0 build 1303

Networking Gear & Setup Details

Connected Audio Devices

Hard drive lightning connection to Mac mini, USB out to Chord MScaler, BNC’s to Chord Qutest Dac, USB to Grandinote Amp.

Number of Tracks in Library

31000 tracks, 95% on hard drive, rest via Qobuz.

Description of Issue

When changing albums, 20% of the time I will get a distorted signal coming from the speakers. The only way to correct this is to shut down roon and restart. This will happen when changing to both hard drive sourced albums or Qobuz albums. I have a movie file with the audio but it’s not letting me attach it.

I’m also finding that Roon is skipping tracks of an album, sometimes only playing four tracks from an 11 track album. I’ve only noticed this with hard drive sourced albums. If I manually select the tracks, they will play perfectly.

The combination of these issues is making listening to an enjoying music very difficult at the moment.

Cheers,

Craig.
