RoonReady RAAT High Resolution Playback Problem [Solved]

Support
1

I’m sending audio from Roon to RoonReady devices from Sonore (Sonicorbiter SE) and Auralic (Aries), but I experience consistent problems with 24/192 and 24/176.4 content.

When playing 192 content to the Aries and the Sonicorbiter SE (separately, not grouped), the audio gets staticky at 19 seconds into the track and stops playing at 20 seconds. Every time without fail. I’ve tried two different RoonServers running on two different Windows computers and one version of Roon installed on a MacBook Pro.

When playing 24/176.4 content the music gets staticky about 1:35 into the tracks and stops playing at 1:40. This happens with all 176.4 content streaming to both the Aries and Sonicorbiter SE (separately, not grouped).

I’m running RoonServer on a 3.5GHz Xeon Windows 8.1 machine with 16 GB of RAM, RoonServer on an SOtM SMS-1000SQ WE server, and Roon on a MacBook Pro running El Capitan with 8GB of RAM.

There doesn’t appear to be anything wrong with my network because I can stream the identical music (176.4 and 192) to the Aries via UPnP using MinimServer running on the same computers, without a single dropout.

I’ve connected two different USB DACs to the Sonicorbiter SE, and I’m using the coaxial digital output of the Aries.

The Aires is connected to my 802.11n/ac 5GHz network and the Sonicorbiter SE is connected to wired Ethernet.

I’m at a loss as to what’s causing the issue.

I’ve had the same problem with 24/192 files on an SOSE. Never noticed at what time the track stopped but can note that it was always early in playback and would quit abruptly after a few seconds of playing fine.

Thanks guys, that’s a really helpful description Chris. Let’s drop a flag for @brian and see if he can replicate this.

We’ve done long-running playback tests with both devices and content with higher resolution than this. I’m surprised to hear that you’re having trouble with 192k.

First thing to confirm: all software/firmware up to date? Aries should be on firmware 3.1, SonicOrbiter SE should show version 1.0.11 in Apps->RoonReady, and your Roon server should be on 1.1 (build 102).

The problem description screams “networking issue” to me. UPnP and RAAT are different enough under the hood that the fact that UPnP is OK doesn’t necessarily eliminate the network. RAAT is based on UDP and UPnP is all TCP. UDP is more “bare metal” and lets us do better with flow control and clock management, but implementing at a lower level exposes us more directly to poor or broken networks (especially networks with bad switches).

Can you describe your network layout in a little bit more detail, including any switches/routers, how each device (including computers and NAS if applicable) are connected?

Also, one more question, when playback stops, is the seek bar still moving in Roon?

@vova, please collect logs and bring them to my attention. The logs will help us eliminate other classes of performance issues.

Hi @brian and @vova - Thanks for the quick response. I’m in the middle of writing an article on RoonReady with the Sonicorbiter SE, so I appreciate your help.

All software is up to date and at the versions you specified above.

I agree the problem screams “networking issue.” As a former network admin for Fortune 500 companies, I’m having a hard time trying to find a reason why this isn’t a network issue. But, I’ve built a really solid network that is working great with everything else.

In fact, I just ran a test using the identical switch ports and cables as the Sonicorbiter SE, and I can send 192 audio to my iMac (private zone) without an issue. Music from the same RoonServer and traversing the same network cables and switches etc… As soon as I plug in the Aries or Sonicorbiter SE to the same cable, 192 doesn’t work and stops at 20 seconds.

When the music stops at 20 seconds, the seek bar is still moving in the Roon GUI.

A little bit about my network:

Windows based network storage with 3.5 GHz Xeon, 16 GB RAM, dual NICs, hardware RAID crd etc… > connected to Cisco SG200-26 26-Port Gigabit Smart / Managed Switch > Sonicorbiter SE connected directly to this switch. Cabling is CAT6 / CAT7. Switch firmware was updated last night in an attempt to resolve the issue as well.

RoonServer runs on the Windows machine mentioned above. I’ve tried link aggregation with the dual NICs, but ran into weird problems with UPnP, so right now I have tried running two separate NICs and disabling one of them while troubleshooting this issue. Nothing seems to help.

One other item, here is the diag directly from the Sonicorbiter SE. It’s screaming “dropout”

Ooooh, there’s nothing like a bit of pressure! :wink:

Watching this as I have similar issues and similar looking logs, when using a usb dac with sonic orbiter se and RoonReady. I have no issues running optical.

8

This is just a guess…Do you have jumbo frames enabled on the windows machine?

What happens if you turn it off?

9

Jumbo frames / packets is disabled on the Windows machine.

Firewall enabled on windows machine? If so, try turning off.

The switch is a weirdo–at least–very different compared to what most people use at home. I don’t have a specific suspicion about what it could be doing wrong, but if it is possible to temporarily eliminate it from the path between the server and endpoint, it might be a good troubleshooting step.

11

Firewall is off.

I have several switches I can try. I’ll try them out.

Why must current and former network engineers alway run overkill cisco gear at home? :grin:

I use a cheap ass netgear managed switch for port aggregation and it has been flawless.

13

I have exactly the same switch :wink:

I like your sense of humor :~)

It’s actually not overkill when using Ravenna based audio (Merging NADAC) devices because you need the configurability and options to try when things don’t work.

15

I suppose you are always trying/reviewing all the newest and greatest. I’ll give you a pass in this case. :relaxed:

16

Hi @brian I just replaced the Cisco switch with a Netgear GS108 (more pedestrian switch) and the results are the same.

17

You mentioned having two RoonServers on the network. It looks like you’re only using one of them (not the SOtM).

Does the same thing happen with the SOtM driving the SE? What if you remove the SOtM from the network?

(I have multiple RoonServers running here 100% of the time, so I doubt having two is an issue in and of itself, but I haven’t seen that SOtM device in person, so eliminating variables).

I reviewed your Roon logs…they look normal/healthy. The server still thinks it’s sending data. All of those dropout logs on the endpoint suggest that it’s not getting there.

18

That’s the pedestrian switch I use. :+1:

@brian I just shutoff all other machines running Roon or RoonServer. No change.

The identical problem happens when I use the SOtM RoonServer or when sending audio from my standard Roon install on my MacBook Pro.

Firstly I know nothin…

The fact that it stops at 20 sec consistently seems to be some sort of a buffer issue on the receiving device. Hard to understand why it would be consistent bw Aries and Orbiter except that I bet its the same linux binary…
