I like JRiver on Linux, tough playing music with higher bitrates (like 96, 176,4, 192KHZ) the sound is crackling randomly. I tried everything in JRiver: different buffer size, hardwaresynchonisation, playing from memory, but the crackling sound stays. I only have alsa installed, not Pulseaudio.
Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver Version k4.2.0-18-lowlatency
With other software, like HQplayer or Audacious I don’t have these crackling sound on higher bitrates, so to me it looks like JRiver is causing these issues. Any suggestions to solve the problem are most appreciated, thanks!
