Unexpected playback error

I started having this issue very ofter - almost every time I launch the ARC. Can it be fixed ? It’s getting ennoying.

Funny, but I think you meant ‘annoying’.

You should open a thread in the #support section and fill out the form that is presented to you. It’s the only way to get responsible help.

The only issue I’m having is not working ARC on my iphone 13 Pro max. It crashes attempting playback the first audio track after opening the app, or gives me hard time by “Unexpected playback error”.
Hope spending some time listing my audio & network gear was worthwhile…

Thank you

@support,
Seems this is a very severe problem. Any progress in the meantime ?

Hi @Abolit,

We’ve resolved playback stability issues that were causing downloaded tracks to corrupt. How is ARC performing for you on the most recent build?
