Good morning, I have now set up my Raspi 3 with Hifiberry Amp2 and Volumio.
The issue I face is massive stuttering in all source, be it Internet radio, mp3 via USB or from a media server.
It’s basically 1 second on 1 second off.
I have not really any clue, as it’s also for local mp3s it cannot really be the network, and the cpu usage also looks legit.
Does anyone have any idea? The stuttering is the same with a Pi 2b I tried before. Can the Amp2 be defective?
Hi,
I am using a power supply with 12 V, max 75W 6.5 A max. I’m actually waiting for this one: GST60A18-P1J Schaltnetzteil 18V DC 3,33A, which should arrive in the next days, so I will test it then.
So this sound like a power supply issue?
Regards, Timo
I’ve experienced comparable issues, but only in systems with complex plugins installed (e.g. FusionDSP); these issues were more present in combination with less powerful Pi’s (notably the zero’s).
Hi, thank you for the tips. Unfortunately, nothing helped so I am sending the Amp2 back and will try with another amplifier. I will let you know if that worked.
Regards, Timo
