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

[dr.diem]

Thanks both,

Unfortunately neither enabling DSD silence before stop nor disabling the parametric EQ curve solved the issue (I additionally tried switching to 'hw' output in ALSA settings having disabled the EQ).

What is the approved method to upgrade to an 8.x release? Can I take a complete settings backup, install the fresh 8.1.2 image, then restore the settings?

Cheers,

Ian
