Hi

It's not just you, I have exactly the same issue playing from a network share.

I only get the issue with wired Ethernet and it seems to correspond to the beginning of a bust of data. If I copy the music file to the ramdrive it plays fine. If I play from ramdrive and copy another file to the ramdrive while the first is playing the problem returns.

My solution was to switch to wireless which doesn't seem to have the issue. But I am struggling to get it to boot up with wireless without having a wired Ethernet connection as well.

Cheers,
Phil

Hi Klaus,

Well after a failed google search I found the all answers I need on this forum.

The NAS network issue is known and may be improved by tweaking rsize and wsize

and my booting to wifi with no wired connection was fixed by this post

What a great forum!

I get less problems with wifi – but I am not sure it is perfect. I shall have a play with rsize and wsize and see if it helps my with setup.

Cheers,
Phil

Thank You everybody for your fast replies! Nice to hear that it's not only with me! But right now there is no perfect solution in sight.

Some more information about my tests:
The problem ist also with hdmi sound, not only by USB-DAC (cheap Sabre 9023+PCM2706).
To use a WLAN-USB-stick was much more bad than before, because on many crackles in one second all the time.
The rsize and wsize were already on 2048 and 4096. To edit auto.nas manually I get always an error message. But anyway, after reboot I've tried 32768 and later 131072. 131072 was more poor with me. I don't know why, so I'm using 32768 right now. Better than all before, but not perfect with the wave files. For using vbr-mp3 it will be good enough for me. I will try for a while! Thank you!

But at all I don't want to forget to say Thank You for doing this job with Raspyfi! I'm sure the last problems will be solved soon! For me are some perfectly working features much more important than some games which I never need! Please hold it easy, right now!

Greetings,
Klaus

The Problem is not solved, only reduced for one crackle in around 5 minutes! If you have another Information, please let me know!

I found two things to help, but not totaly solve the problem
1. resetting the nas and enforcing it to remount and index all it's files
2. I noticed that when the home network is buesy the problem shows (playing IP VOD on another pc in the net)
I use Goflex nas and sabre 9023 usb dac

@Klaus: tnx, found it – now for testing…

@Michael:
Do you use 100MBit or 1GBit LAN? Do you changed the packet size? I have changed it to something with 8kB and I'm using 1GBit at my both network shares. May be this is the problem?
