Ok, the bug hunt continues, it would be nice if someone could help me out a little because of my limited knowledge in regards of the inner workings of Volumio .
Anyways, these threads came to my attention today: tablix.org/%7Eavian/blog/ar … erference/
So I hooked up my Raspi to my TV for testing (so I can see tty 1 at least when it dies) and I’ve found the following. The 48 kHz files (mp3 and flac) play just fine when the Raspi is connected to ethernet. (I have no sound to test at that location though, but the system keeps running fine so I assume the playback is working as it should.) A WiFi dongle is present and connected as well at the time of my test.
As soon as I unplug the ethernet cable the player dies after a few seconds of playing, sound gets choppy and the WebUI becomes unresponsive. The counter keeps counting whilst the spinning thing is over the webUI. This is what I’ve seen in the debug window:
{"status":"play","position":205,"title":"10,000 Feet","artist":"Wolfmother","album":"Cosmic Egg","albumart":"/albumart?web=Wolfmother/Cosmic%20Egg/large&path=%2FINTERNAL","uri":"mnt/INTERNAL/06 - 10,000 Feet.mp3","trackType":"mp3","seek":366093,"duration":242,"samplerate":"48 KHz","bitdepth":"24 bit","channels":2,"random":null,"repeat":null,"consume":false,"volume":89,"mute":false,"stream":"mp3","updatedb":false,"volatile":false,"service":"mpd"}

A few minutes later this is in the same window:
{"status":"play","position":205,"title":"10,000 Feet","artist":"Wolfmother","album":"Cosmic Egg","albumart":"/albumart?web=Wolfmother/Cosmic%20Egg/large&path=%2FINTERNAL","uri":"mnt/INTERNAL/06 - 10,000 Feet.mp3","trackType":"mp3","seek":787892,"duration":242,"samplerate":"48 KHz","bitdepth":"24 bit","channels":2,"random":null,"repeat":null,"consume":false,"volume":89,"mute":false,"stream":"mp3","updatedb":false,"volatile":false,"service":"mpd"}

Seek just keeps on running and running and there is no way to stop MPD or to select another song. I can reboot the system via the CLI on TTY1, accessing the device via SSH is impossible when this bug occurs. For what I’ve tested it didn’t matter if the 48 kHz file was on a share or on the local SD card. Both times the WebUI sortof crashes and there is no way to get MPD going again without a reboot.
Please help

Edit: I’ve just changed my router over to channel 10 as someone suggested on github and now it works like a charm! It appears that that the clocks on the HiFiBerry DAC+ Pro interfere with the WiFi signals. For more details please refer to the link I’ve posted above.
