Running RPi 3A+ with IQaudIO DAC Pro. I only use it for web streaming - I have 0 audio files saved to the device locally, and never connect to any NAS or other file directory. I’m streaming from Spotify mostly or sometimes Bandcamp, or airplay from Soundcloud and YouTube occasionally. But mostly I use Spotify, and I prefer to control Spotify through the Spotify app on my iphone & ipads, and never open the Volumio app unless I’m troubleshooting.
When streaming, the audio always sounds like it’s loading smoothly. Never any stuttering or audible drops in quality. Often when I’m streaming Spotify, it suddenly goes silent for no apparent reason. At that point I’ll check the Spotify app and notice that the song’s playhead is frozen and not progressing forward in time. Then I’ll open volumio and see that it “thinks” some totally different song is playing.
This happens basically on a daily basis, often many times per day. I have no idea what is causing it or what to do to permanently fix it. The temporary solution is to reboot, and usually it’ll work when I start it up again.
I’d appreciate any help!
