[PROBLEM] Audible artifacts...on Playback.??

[Tonewheelkev]

Without properly auditioning 8.2.1 ......updated to 8.2.2 if this is significant!

Audible artifacts.....thinking of clicks/glitches/pops....may be better words here
....particularly on higher res. 192 and 96 files.....still present to a lesser extent on 44.1 types.

All my settings are at default...RPi3+ into a Topping E30
Moode renderer set to UPNP/DLNA.
Would logs help in this situation.....or might it be a settings issue??

Try playing the files from a USB stick directly with MPD and take UPnP out of the equation (Turn it off). If the audio glitches still occur zip up a few of the files and post a download link to myself, @TheOldPresbyope and @Nutul to see if the issue can be reproduced.

Thanks for the swift reply!!
Haven't tried USB stick yet.....currently playing from an SSD drive .
Switched off UPNP mad no discernible difference....as did switching off DLNA.

Now playing with NO Renderers selected (Presume a default renderer is automatically present??!...and that is MPD!)....this makes a huge difference, although artifacts not entirely eliminated.
(Perhaps 99% though!!)

I'll be able to try the USB stick approach later.

If you are using a locally attached SSD then no need to swap in a USB stick.

Don't know if this helps....but switching back to PiCorePlayer/LMS and using same tracks....artifacts/glitches stop!

Zip up some of the files and PM the download link as per earlier post.

I've had this problem as well on a 1 GB RPi 3 B+. Mainly streaming 24/96 PCM and DSF files.

Moving to an RPi 4 fixed it.

Installing the latest Volumio image on the RPi 3 also results in glitch-free playback.

Interestingly, I also experienced this glitch momentarily on my Ubuntu machine as well (since fixed after several kernel updates). My guess is that there was a change made to the kernel that caused this issue - note that Volumio is still on 5.10.x

OK....thought I'd better update this!

Original problem was experienced with a RPi3+....which was borrowed!

I've just put together a new RPi4 system....with 64 bit MoOde....and...Hey Presto
....No Glitches....Great....Phew!!!!

I have same experience after updated to 8.2.2.
In previous version (from 7.1.0 to 8.2.1), I've never met the same problem.

I use Raspberry Pi 3B connected to SMSL VMV D1se (via USB cable).
I set the fixed volume (0dB), no equalizers. no renderers except Bluetooth.
Other settings are at default.
