Hi there,
At last I have Raspyfi 1.0 booting (yay thanks Admins!! 
) but unfortunately my shiny new Audiolab M-DAC doesn't seem to work with playback – there is continuous stuttering and the DAC display continually flashes "flushing buffers."
This happens on all files be it MP3, AAC, FLAC etc. at any bitrate and resolution. I have tried changing caching and buffering settings with no change.
Does anyone have any ideas on this? I had it previously working with a Musical Fidelity V-Link II but of course now want to use this M-DAC. A friend of mine also has the same setup and is experiencing the same issue.
Any help is GREATLY appreciated
Thanks in advance!!

A bit more info:
I've now tried with files being played back from a USB HDD, memory stick (small capacity), and NAS with the same problem.
Changing the buffer size to smaller makes no sound whilst increasing it (from default) makes no difference.
A little lost! When using previous revisions I remember the USB fix working but now that 1.0 has it out of the box it doesn't work.
Super eager for any advice or ideas anyone has!
Many thanks,
Matt

Please note that if the Database update is still going on, you'll have these kind of issues. Please wait for it to finish, (it takes lot of times, as others have mentioned) . Let me know

Hi,
The database update has completed and I have tried with only 1 song to be added.
Many thanks,
Matt
If you can, please log in with SSH and report the output of
cat /proc/asound/card0/pcm0p/sub0/hw_params
while playing
Also, does your DAC self power or it relies on USB power?

[email protected]:~$ cat /proc/asound/card0/pcm0p/sub0/hw_params
access: RW_INTERLEAVED
format: S24_3LE
subformat: STD
channels: 2
rate: 96000 (96000/1)
period_size: 12000
buffer_size: 48000
This is a 24/96 file but the same result with anything.
DAC has it's own dedicated power supply.
Thanks for the help
Matt.

Hey,
Nothing connected apart from an Ethernet cable and the DAC.
The weird thing is that a friend of mine with an M-DAC had the same issue something like 6 months ago and after much tinkering got one (ONE!!) Song to work properly. I'm not sure if this Audiolab operates differently to other async dac's?

Just been playing even more and it seems that lowering the "buffer" amount reduces the clicking/popping (which is constant) but doesn't completely eradicate it.
Does this give any hint to what it might be??
Could you maybe try to connect the M-DAC to a usb hub, and then the Pi to the hub? The Logitech squeezebox touch needs to be connected that way for a-sync to work with the M-DAC.

No luck using a powered USB Hub – worth noting again that the DAC has it's own PSU.
Please try to upload a hi res file into the ramplay folder, through network on windows, then play from there and let me know

Ok – weird one now!!
RAMPLAY works in the sense that there is no more clicks, pops, continuous stuttering….HOWEVER, all artists sound like aliens on speed! Roger Waters, Who needs information is extremely weird – the backing music sounds fine but the vocals are messed up.
What on earth does this mean?!
