Not smooth playback
« on: October 11, 2022, 06:41:40 pm »
Hello, i've been a customer since ver 16 and now i upgraded from ver27 to ver30 hoping to overcome a problem i had with the previous version. Unfortunately, the problem remains. i have a bluetooth speaker (harman kardon aura studio 3). Since ver 27 and now with ver30 when i stream music to the speaker from MC there are really a lot of gaps and scratches that makes it impossible to listen to. This issue is MC specific and never occurs with other software streaming the same files. Could it be a matter of settings? TNX (macbook pro 2017)

Try converting on playback to a lower bandwidth. Try 48Khz.

Yes.
Most bluetooth uses either 44.1k or 48k.

It doesn't help. Did all possible adjustments in DSP. Something is wrong with playback in MC30 when streaming. There is no problem at all though when streaming to AURA with 3rd party app like AIRFOIL. In this case playback is normal with crisp sound.

Try going into MC's settings > Audio > Advanced section and setting Auto configure output on playback error to Yes and see if that helps.

If integer mode and or exclusive mode are set in MC's audio settings, turn them off.

They are off by default. Also when setting options often MC30 freezes.

MC's audio options are really quite simple. It just asks MacOS what devices it has and what their capabilities are.
It really sounds like you have an issue with something connected to your audio subsystem on your Mac or have a hardware problem.
