Having dropout issues
Dennis in FL:
I also have a fusion. And I had changed the buffer and already had the software update......ANd thought I had gotten rid of dropouts. At least they are reduced. I believe the fusion issue is not the cause. The first poster in the thread Awesome Donkey linked had his music files on an SSD ---- I still get the dropouts now and then. Almost like the buffer empties too quickly and then skips while reloading.
I had thought it was a CPU issue....but as I say above, other music software on the same machine NEVER has dropouts. Then I thought it was just iso files......but I haven't been diligent about writing down the file types when I get the skips.
It comes down to - all else can be forgiven....but the playback reliability.
I'm still fiddlin' with it.

Unfortunately this is the case with me following the buffer change and software update. I haven't played a lot of music yet but am still getting dropouts. The strange thing is 2-3 weeks ago this was not the case.

I wonder if it is possible to poll the Mac users to find a common setting, or hardware issue causing this? Or there is a deep, hard to find, bug in JRiver MC with only Macs. I just disabled my Norton Firewall and other protections. While I was doing it, I got several dropouts......but shortly there after I got several short drops and one was over a second long.
I also have Windows on my MAC.....by using the software Parallels. Do you have something similar? I disabled it completely as a test and I still got dropouts and turned it back on.
So I've eliminated Parallels & Norton, with Toslink and USB/DAC outputs. What else? I have a Mac laptop with an SSD. I can try that.

Please read this thread:

and the links in it. Particularly DJLegba's link to a report of an Apple problem.
JimH:
We added that to the Weird Problems thread back in March:
