24 bit 192khz playback stuttering

Postby goldenyears » 14 May 2016, 21:23

I was able to setup my NAS mount thanks to the help of Frank and others - many thanks!

I have noticed that there is severe stuttering when playing 24 bit 192khz files which didn't seem to be a problem before. I tested a few 16bit 44.1khz and they are fine but the 24 bit 96khz files I tested occasionally stutter at the beginning of playback. I am using a wifi dongle with wireless correctly configured and haven't moved the pi to a different location so I don't think it's a problem with the signal strength as it would have occurred before. I would appreciate it if someone could help me out.

Thanks,

Al

Hi goldenyears, have you already tried to tweak the "Audio buffer size" and the "Buffer before play" settings in the MPD section?

Thanks to all who replied. I've played around with the audio buffer size and buffer before play values but still have the same problem. It's really strange as when I setup the NAS mount everything was running smoothly (including 24/192 files). As I mentioned before, I haven't changed the configuration or moved the pi further away from my modem. Could something have happened to the dongle?

I think we need a simple way to measure actual WiFi throughput, FROM whatever NAS-type device a user has, TO RuneAudio/Arch. There have been a few threads like this one, including a couple of mine.

Since I usually use some kind of Linux-y box to store my media files, as well as a laptop running Ubuntu/Linux to get online, I usually install a program called iperf for that purpose.

Unfortunately that is of no help to the majority using Windows and Apple machines, and my limited networking skills do not extend very far.

I am willing to collaborate on a solution and do some testing, but the heavy lifting would have to come from someone with more knowledge than I have... :mrgreen:

edit:

Oh wait, that was bi-nary, right? .... nevermind ... :D
