It could be that not using the shares also reduces the load on the Bluesound device, allowing it more resources to operate properly and prevent the static from occurring. This is an interesting observation that I have forwarded to the team!
Has the static still been absent since removing those shares?
I resynced the shared drive back to the Bluesound Nodes as of yesterday afternoon. One day in, still no static through Roon. I will let you know if the issue comes back.
I stumbled upon this thread
as I had created this one:
I think there is a problem with Roon and what they are doing in communicating to the bluesound devices.
Roon is asking/forcing a sync on the bluesound file share
bluesound is attempting to do a sync on a file share - even if its set incorrectly
this is being requested by roon
as the bluesound plays music fine - even with the incorrect fileshare setting
