Title: Not smooth playback
Post by: anthimos2020 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)

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

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.

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.
