Audio Drop outs - rpi buster

(1/3) > >>

erviv:
Now that I have been listening to MC25 v114 on my rpi with buster as the underlying o/s I noticed that I am getting the very occasional (infrequent, once every few songs)audio drop out (or momentary freeze).  I have not done extensive listening through my library but in playing 192khz songs 8 have noticed this issue. The problem had existed in some earlier versions of raspbian, but I have not heard any audio drop outs after I had upgraded to raspbian stretch. So I don’t think this is a MC issue, but wonder if anyone else has had the same experience when going from stretch to buster, and if they found a fix.

I see they just change the kernel a few days ago, that can be good or bad. Are you up to date?
What media are you playing form (SDcard, attached HD, network storage, etc)?
You might also try increasing the buffering in MC's Audio Device Options.

erviv:
Yes, pretty certain I am up to date as I loaded everything fresh and finished with update and upgrade commands. I am playing from a HD attached to my router, with the rpi's hard wired to the router. As I mentioned the stretch based Rpi has no audio drop outs. I will give increasing the buffering a shot.
Thanks

That could be the cause.

erviv:
Jim, I doubt that it is the cause, at least not as I understand it.  I think that a change in coding in buster is the cause.  I base this on the following, this same Rpi worked without any audio drops prior to upgrading from stretch to buster. Both Rpi's used to have audio drops but these were resolved when I migrated from Jessie to Stretch.  Also my second Rpi which is wired the same way (ie to the router attached HD) is still operating on stretch and still has no audio drops. So the only change (difference) from no audio drops to having some audio drops is migrating from stretch to buster.
Again I will try increasing the buffer to see if this is a work around for the problem.

I have not seen anyone else respond that they have the same issue when migrating from stretch to buster.
