Many pauses for buffering
mikepo:
Running MC 30 (also tried 28 and 29) on M1 iMac with latest Monterey. Haven't used MC for many months, but when I run it now I get frequent (ranging from a minute or two to tens of minutes) pauses for buffering. Pauses last about 5 seconds. Prebuffering set to recommended 6 s. Have closed app, rebooted, etc. No problem playing for hours on Apple Music or VLC. Music files are on external Thunderbolt drive; tried 2 different drives. What's next?

What is your playback device? That's almost certainly where the issue lies.

iMac headphone jack.

Check to see what your audio device is in Tools > Options > Audio Device . If it's not set explicitly to your headphone audio output, try doing that. That probably won't be it, but it's worth trying. Stop and restart MC after you make any change to the audio device.
There's some possibility that sample rate has something to do with this; but again unlikely. You can look at your sample rate conversion settings in DSP Studio . Again, this probably isn't the problem.
Re-reading your post, it seems this problem just started. Can you think of anything else that has changed on your Mac around the time this problem happened?
I'm tempted to recommend a reinstall of MC30, but you say it happens on 28, 29 *and* 30.
As you can see, I don't have a lot of good ideas here! Good luck.
Brian.
mikepo:
Output device is set to headphone jack. Sample rate is "no change".
Problem just started because I haven't used MC for a long time. Maybe not even since I got the M1 iMac.
Any more thoughts?
