I am having problem playback hi-res audio file on my pi2 with DAC+ setup. The playback is not smooth where it pause about 1sec and then continue it again. This happen thru out an entire music file.
If i am playing an audio file with least than 150MB file size which is it okay. Can you advice what setting that I need to configure.
My setup configuration.
[1] Hardware - Pi2 + Hifiberry DAC+
[2] Software - Volumio V1.5
[3] Source- HP mybook external hard disk
[4] Connection - USB link
I would try with files stored on a USB drive plugged in to the Raspberry Pi, in my experience that gives the best results, especially with large/HD files.
No, I am playing the hi res file via USB connection. The external hard disk is attached to my pi with a USB cable. I guessed the file size is too huge and volumio does not have enough internal memory to buffer it.
I am using HP MyBook external drive with it own power supply unit. The connection to pi2 is via USB connection and no sharing of power. The pi2 is powered by 2A power adapter.
I try small file size and it run smoothly and I guessed must be some settings are doing right or what?
