Audio Skipping Problem

[Pete]

I have an old Pi B Model with 256mb RAM. It is running as standard. No overclocking.

Just installed the v0.5 for all Pi models.

Plays perfectly when connected by Ethernet, but hen connected by WiFi I'm experiencing occasional audio drop outs. The Pi is in the same room as the router. I have a buffer setting of 2048 and a % before playback of 30%.

Any thoughts on what might be causing the problem. I really want a WiFi solution as I don't have Ethernet in the rooms I want to place the speakers and Pi.

Many thanks

Will dig out that information.

I was using the same Pi with the same song for XBMC which streamed video without a hitch.

Will post up the information shortly.

Oh
So does this mean with WiFi I should expect drop outs? I don't have ethernet all over the house and was going to have to rely on WiFi.

Hi Rastus

Sorry for the delay. I have only just arrived home and until now have been unable to get the information you asked for.

I have an ASUS RC88U Router which provides both 2.4 and 5ghz WiFi

The WiFi dongle i'm using seems to be unbranded but has 802.11n printed on it.

The router shows connection speeds for the dongle of 5.5mbps tx rate and 24mbps rx rate

i have an Edimax USB WiFi dongle which is an AC high gain antenna (EW-7811UAC) but this is not working with this distro (it worked fine with an XBMC distro). if i plug it into the USB port on the Pi no blue light on the edimax and it kills the ethernet connection. Can I gt this dongle to work somehow?
