Hi @John_Culver – you can read about common causes for audio dropouts here. Since most people are finding our Squeezebox streaming to be stable, the issue is most likely environmental – the article I linked sets out some of the most common causes, and should help you start to investigate.
I can tell you that troubleshooting audio dropouts can sometimes be tricky, requiring trial and error to understand exactly where things are going awry. We’re happy to help, but we’ll need to know all the details of your setup, particularly the topology of your network, the networking hardware being used, whether WiFi is involved (and if so, whether there’s any difference when connected over ethernet), etc. You can find a list of the details we’ll want here.
