Audio Dropouts

  • Been using Kodi version17.6 with libreelec on pi3 with IQ Audio DACPro HAT

    I stream mainly audio files from SMB share on win 10 pc over wired Ethernet.

    Discovered that I get audio dropouts lasting around maybe half of one second every 20 seconds or so.

    I have found that some of the files I play are not individual audio files (tracks) but single large files indexed with cue files. I think this is normal.

    The audio dropouts seemed to be coming from larger files that use a cue file for track listing.

    In the .cue file there has to be a reference to the actual audio file:

    PERFORMER "Philip Glass"

    TITLE "1000 Airplanes on the Roof"

    FILE "Philip Glass - 1000 Airplanes on the Roof.wav" WAVE

    Becomes:

    PERFORMER "Philip Glass"

    TITLE "1000 Airplanes on the Roof"

    FILE "Philip Glass - 1000 Airplanes on the Roof.ape" WAVE

    On the PC using foobar both versions play okay, the version with the .wav ref dropsout in libreelec/kodi.

    Does anybody know what is going on?
