Description Of Issue
Even though all my music files (all FLAC) are stored on the two 2TB M.2 NVMe SSD drives I am still getting tracks skipping because “Audio files are loading slowly”. I can find no hardware faults. There are no hardware errors logged in the Windows Event Log. All hardware tests show no problems. The only way to resolve the issue is to reboot. I cannot believe I am getting this problem given the spec of the core machine and that all the FLAC files are stored on SSD.
Hi Andrew, have you tried running speed tests on your Wi-Fi/internet connections? What else is connected to your Smart Hub/Wi-Fi Disc? It doesn’t matter how fast your core mchine and storage are if your network is slowing things down.
@Andrew_Nowak1, sorry about the trouble. Thanks for reporting it and for trying to work it out. Could you please share your findings after checking your internet connection?
I have run speed test from the core machine and network speeds are good and stable. Initially I had both the core machine and Devialet connected to a smart network switch (TP-Link TL-SG105E) and the switch was connected to the BT WiFi Disc. This should have meant all network traffic between the Core and Devialet would stay within the switch (Smart switch using MAC addressing) and not go over WIFi to the BT Smart Hub but I was getting interruptions when streaming (though not “Audio file loading slowly”). So I reverted back to the Devialet on WiFi and core connected to the WiFi Disc. It is not practical to run ethernet from the Smart Hub. Maybe if I understood the network streaming protocol being used I could try the switch again and configure it accordingly.
