Issues with Tidal

Hello all,

I am having issues playing master songs on Tidal. It plays beautifully for 15 minutes or so, and then, all of a sudden, the sound gets crackling with intermitent noises. It gets worse if I turn SonEQ on.

I am running Audirvana, version 3.5.44 on win10 64 bit, i7, 20gb RAM, DAC is a MAudio Fast Track Ultra 8R which runs smoothly on other softwares.

Any help is appreciated.

Hello @andrecau,

Can you disable upsampling in the audio output settings?

I got the same problem. It occured after the last updates from Microsoft for Windows 10. So I uninstalled them. Now Audirvana and Tidal work fine

Can you give us the KB number you uninstalled?

It seems to be KB5001649

And also KB5001567…

The last updates it works fine with is KB5000802

How are you streaming? From your computer via USB?
