Errors loading tracks or starting tracks

jdg · January 30, 2020, 8:26pm

i have an mp3 album from amazon which plays without issues in apple music and ipod. in audirvana at the start of some tracks it makes a noise like a tape being played at high speed. it then settles down and plays the rest of the track or gets a load error and skips to the next track. i used “mp3 scan and repair” (mac) and it reports no errors with the tracks.

my environment is a macbook pro
Audirvana Mac Version 3.5.29 (3559)
macOS 10.15.3 with 16384MB RAM

i like to use tokyo lab VOS SlickEQ. i turned it off and tried replaying with same results.

i use an amazon alexa 3rd generation speaker with bluetooth. i’ve tried changing my connection back to the mac internal speakers and no change in behaviour.

does anyone else have this problem?

after the fact, i found the same album on tidal and all tracks stream without issue. i initially purchased it so i could play it on an ipod

Hello @jdg,

Can you send me a copy of the “Debug Info” while listening to this track? You can get it in Audirvana Settings>General>Debug Info

Note: By clicking on the Debug Info Audirvana button automatically copies all its content, all you have to do is paste it in response to this message
