Volumio Version: 3.512
Hardware: Raspberry Pi 4 model B
DAC: waveshare 5inch LCD (DSI)
Hi,
I am experiencing an issue of clicks & pops when we select next , previous or seek or the beginning or end of the track automatically I’m playing music from USB & YouTube ( mp3).
I have tried with moode audio & Picore player and it is playing without any noise … searched on the web about the issue but no proper informations available.
I have tried alll the settings changed the buffer size and so on, but with no luck.
I would be happy if someone can help me solving this issue.
Also if anyone having the link of V3.324 please share so that I can install it for checking .
Please try the same with vanilla function from Volumio, like a local library and check if this still happens.
All I see are youtube tracks, which is a 3rd party plugin.
For youtube post in the corresponding topic:
Yes it is happening in all… Youtube, radio, USB… While Skipping next or previous, or seek bar also if the song changes automatically in the starting and end of the tracks can hear a click or pop noise…
Same thing (pops between tracks) here in all my setups (4 Volumio instances on Pi3 / Pi4 with different HifiBerry DACs) - seems to be inherent in Volumio - no solution yet.
I assume it has to do with a short “digital zero” between songs which results in a “pop” being output.
So far, I only found one way to reduce the problem: The “pop” volume seems to be independent of the volume setting in Volumio. So, setting Volumio volume high and amplifier volume low makes the pops less audible.
BTW: no similar pops when running HifiBerryOS instead of Volumio
An addition to this, inspired by the excerpt from Naveen’s log:
I undug “My First Volumio” , ordered from Volumio shop back in 2017 which features an IQaudIO DAC Plus on Pi3: pops are there, thus confirming Naveen’s observation.
I can also confirm that they become relatively more audible the lower the Volumio volume setting - practically inaudible with Volumio volume 80% and amp volume low.
However, that “remedy” does not work in cases where DAC and amp are combined in the Pi HAT, like HifiBerry’s Amp2 or BeoCreate, because there is only one combined volume control.
Super sound, but the speaker clicks and bounces when switching between tracks.
On the SD card, USB drive, web radio or youtube, everywhere.
There is no popping during playback.
I also have an RPI IQ Audio+ dac, it doesn’t pop. It connects directly to the RPI3 panel.
The ES9028 has a better sound though,
and that’s why I want to use it .
