Сrackle sound via network - Ozeki - 10-18-2018
Hi!
I have moOde 4.3 on Pi-3B+ 1GB v1.3 connected to SMB share with music library on Windows 10 PC over 1Gbit ethernet.
When trying to play 24/176.4k FLAC from this SMB share - sound crackles a little, like LP vinyl. However when the same file played from USB flash connected to the Raspberry pi - everything is fine and sounds clear and wonderful !
Changed many setting : CPU governor,mount flags, rsize/wsize , turn off/on wifi adapter etc. Even copy some music to another PC with fast M2 SSD - problem remains.
Tried to play other files mp3,flac,dsd,dsf - the bigger files cause more cracking and snaps.
Please any advice on this ?

If the issue only appears when serving files from your Windows PC then it would suggest the problem is either in the network or in the PC. Also if you are running a Hifiberry DAC+Pro, Kali Recoocker or any other board that has unshielded oscillators (clock crystals) then these can cause interference in the 2.4G WiFi band.

When connect to USB-DAC and Ethernet with 3B+, that problem will occur. It is also reported on Volumio's blog. I solved that problem with the following settings.

ethtool -s eth0 speed 100 duplex full

Hi,
Thanks for confirming :-)
I'll add this as a setting on System config.
