Hi,
Using Audirvāna on Archlinux lead to segfault multiple time a day.
Here are the log obtenaired. There’s no interaction at the segfault moment : just launch as user during the day.
Is it known or is there a workaround ?
Following are the information needed.

Because I am not an expert at these things, all I can contribute is the following:
The two Arch distros I am using (one is ArcoLinux with XFCE, the other a minimal install of Arch, no GUI) have been rock solid with Audirvāna, never a segfault. In both of these distros I have the same kernel as you, and I am also running Tailscale on both.
The only thing I noticed in your debug info was that 746MB seems like very little memory to devote to the audio buffer.

Saved in the cloud to some extent I believe unless you actively get rid of them with a new audirvana-studio.ini. Did you create a new one when you reinstalled?
Perhaps try reinstalling, making a new audirvana-studio.ini, and rebooting before you start Audirvāna. Ensure the only line in the ini file when you start is the one about accepting the EULA.
And if this doesn’t work, my apologies because I don’t know anything further to do.
One last thought about this: Have you tried a clean install of the latest Audirvana 2.9.6 AUR package? Not that I think there is anything in particular in the new build that will solve your problem, but may as well try if you haven’t yet.
But right now, I’m rebuilding for another times my db. And it seems to be ok at the moment.
I will reboot the NUC and let it run tomorrow to have an idea about the stability.
Hi @mrmen, on the off chance you’ve not consider this already: Audirvana is rock solid on Windows 11 and easier to manage thanks to having the full GUI. (Assuming your NUC can run Windows 11)
I ran Audirvana on a Raspi 5 and encountered many issues—including regular segfaults—when driving output over UPnP or Chromecast. Moving to a low-end Windows 11 mini PC (dual core, 8GB RAM) has proven to be exceptionally stable.
Strange that there are so many different experiences.
I am running Linux Core Player on Linux Mint and it is more stable than when I ran the Windows version on the same laptop. And it uses far less CPU and RAM.
