I set up a volumio player (latest version, 3.779) consisting of an rpi3, 7inch touchscreen and a hifiberry amp2. Speakers are connected directly, powersupply is large enough, playback mainly from NAS and internet radio.
All in all the system works fine, but directly after startup audio is stuttering heavily for about 30 seconds. After that everything‘s fine as is the startup sound. Connection is usually via LAN but wifi has also been tested (same results). Playback buffer ist set to 12MB.
I use the same hardware combination and have not changed anything in the playback buffer. I only worked with the configuration wizard. I have not noticed any audio dropouts/jerks. Have you tried installing an older (previous) version?
In my case, the volume was at maximum after the installation despite a different setting. However, this could be fixed by adjusting the volume again with speicern and a restart…
The touch display is original from Raspi and works under the current version (3.779) without any problems?
Are you possibly from Germany?
Thanks for your ideas and please excuse me for not replying sooner, been quite busy before xmas.
I disabled the startup sound and upgraded to 3.785 (i guess…) and one of the two must have done the trick. Works well now and responsiveness of the ui has increased, too. For the Germans: Viel bessere Schwuppdizität :-).
Have a nice xmas holiday and a good start in 2025!
