HiassofT I imagine this driver fix will be included in 12 beta3?
-
mokkurkalve can you please give this build a try?
Hurray! Yes , it was that. I took that fix back to my original system, didn't change the knobs in config.txt there. It was the fix for the driver in the @HiassofT build that fixed it. Thanks!

With your LibreELEC 12 beta 2 installation can you please try if this makes a different?
Place these 2 line as the first 2 lines in your config.txt file:Codedtoverlay= dtoverlay=hifiberry-dacplus-proand remove/comment out those lines:
Codedtoverlay=hifiberry-dacplus core_freq_min=500Unfortunately, it did not help. Should I comment out "force_turbo=1" also?
Generated a logfile with that setup, too:

Can you play flawless internet radio on RPi OS? I'm asking to rule out network or HiFiBerry driver issues.
I had a conversation with our Linux audio guru HiassofT . He suggested to make a clean installation on another microSD, just with a minimal amount of add-ons. If the issue persists, post another log from that system.
I had another microSD card laying around. I thought it would be best to test 11.0.6 and 12 beta2 up against each other. (Formatting the card between installations, no upgrade.)
I made a clean barebones installation, installing only the Paradise Radio addon for testing, setting that to FLAC as I had before. And setting the audio output to the hifiberry card (ALSA).
I generated logfile after each test. The result was that there are no issues with 11.0.6, but on 12 beta2 audio is choppy. Logfiles:
No problems:
LibreELEC (official): 11.0.6 (RPi4.arm)
LibreELEC:~ # pastekodi

LibreELEC (official): 11.95.2 (RPi4.aarch64)

Good analysis! The Librespot add-on still creates warnings, and probably affects other add-ons, even when not in use.
Remove that add-on for another test.
It's still the same after uninstalling librespot addon and rebooting; choppy audio with hifiberry output, ok audio with HDMI output.
Do you want me to do more tests? Supply more logfiles?

I don't think it's related to that. I've tested with the YouTube addon and the Paradise Radio addon (I don't think those use pulseaudio?) setting my output to ALSA hifiberry. Still same choppy sound on 12 beta2. (Did not happen on 11.0.6.)
The weird thing is that audio files streamed over local network (SAMBA) plays flawlessy with ALSA hifiberry.
Also, if I change sound output to raspberry and use ALSA HDMI output to my TV, the output from the YouTube addon and the Paradise Radio addon plays back flawlessy.
So the problem only occurs with 12 beta1,2 using streaming apps and audio output to ALSA hifiberry.
New logfile testing with 12 beta2 using Pardise Radio addon:

I now discovered that the cache-settings in advancedsettings.xml have been migrated to the GUI, so I thought this might be the problem. So I set the numbers I had in 11.0.6 correct. I also changed from wifi to wired connection to eliminate any problems that could stem from wifi. And I have force_turbo=1 enabled to eliminate issues with powersave. Bandwidth connection to the internet should not be a problem, I have atleast 60 - 90 Mbps download at worst. And I did not have any of those issues with LibreELEC 11.0.6, nor with any other device that I own.
But I still have small clicks, pops and skips with streaming addons using 12 beta1 ...
This is a new log:

Sorry, I should have investigated more. Busy days. It's not an issue with what the heading says. I now uploaded an album with actual files (wavpack lossless) to the devices SD card. It plays back flawlessly. I encountered the problem with web streaming based addons. And it's not very choppy sound. It's more small clicks and pops and tiny skips now and then. Rather subtle. But it didn't happen in 11.0.6.
I play the same album as tested above from Spotify with the librespot addon. There's bin a few of the forementioned artifacts during this. And here is the log file (pastekodi).

I upgraded from 11.0.6 to 12 beta 1. I experience a regression. My hardware are Raspberry Pi 4B 8GB with Hifiberry DAC2 Pro. The regression are that the audio is (via the Hifiberrry) somewhat choppy throughout. Also with force_turbo=1 enabled. This did not happen on 11.0.6. I tested with a few addons. Anybody else experiencing something similar?
