[PROBLEM] Brief 'buzz' when skipping to next track

[Nutul]

Hi all,

I'm using Moode 7.6.1 on an Allo USBridge Signature feeding a Schiit Bifrost 2 DAC over USB. Whenever i click the track skip buttons there is a brief but audibly unpleasant 'buzz', as if playback is looping over a few samples extremely quickly for about one tenth of a second, before the next track starts. This was present on my initial install (7.1.0) and has remained as I've upgraded.

I should also note that I am using the parametric EQ feature to perform room correction, meaning I think I am limited to using the plughw ALSA output (i.e. I cannot us the direct hw output).

My feeling is that it is some sort of artifact between the USBridge and Bifrost USB, but I wonder if anyone else has experienced similar behaviour and could suggest a configuration change that would stop it happening? MPD settings? ALSA special settings? Would an upgrade to v8 be my best bet?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions folks,

Ian

I am reading the small help about "Silence before stop", in the MPD configuration... it is said to prevent noise upon "stopping" audio on some devices...
Though you say you are noticing it upon skipping; could you just try it out, and see if for some reason the two issues are related?
It would be good if that helped you out.

Just my 2c.
Cheers, Al.
