Description Of Issue
When playing an album it randomly plays the 1st five seconds or so of a track and jumps to the next track, plays ok from then onwards. If I skip back to the 1st track it plays ok.
This happens randomly on both Wi-fi connected and hard wired devices, always when playing tracks from my SSD. I don’t recall having the issue from Qobuz or Tidal.
I had the same issue when previously using my MacBook Air as my core, before I upgraded to an NUC.
Hello @Lee_Halbert, my apologies for the delay in getting back to you. Do you have this same issue when playing to system output of your core? Can you send me a screenshot of your signal path? Thanks!
Hello @Lee_Halbert, let me know if the issue persists! And my plan as of the last message was to make sure the SSD wasn’t compromised, so if the issue does return please do test tracks from a removable drive and let me know what happens. Thanks!
Hello @Lee_Halbert, you had mentioned in your first post that you had this issue on your MacBook Air when it was the core. Since you’ve tried a different core, let’s take a look at the factors that connect them and eliminate what we can. For example, can you connect to a hotspot or something outside your network and see if the issue persists?
Hello @Lee_Halbert, I’m glad things are working better now that you’re using Ethernet. Generally this does provide a more stable connection which is definitely helpful with issues like these. Let me know if the issue persists!
