I see there’s other posts in the forum mentioning this as an issue with the device I am using, so it may be a problem with my DAC. I will get in touch with them, and keep using Audirvana to see if I still experience the issue with missing files, but I guess the suggestion to remove the database file may have solved that.

@Antoine After further testing, I am sorry to say that the problem with audio dropouts still persists, even with the new version of Audirvana that you’ve provided. The first time that happened, I could see an error message stating “Stopping audio device”, then the second, more familiar error message appeared: “Unable to open audio file”. Audirvana stopped working altogether, but restarting solved the issue. A second time, following a dropout in the middle of a song, no error message was displayed, and I was able to continue playback of other tracks without restart. That made me think at least in this second case, it could be a problem with my DAC, but I’ve been testing it using other audio sources for several hours in a row, and didn’t experience any dropouts.
Finally, I’ve also observed that some of the tags in my audio files that were visible in the previous version of Audirvana are not visible any more, e.g. the comments tag, where I store lots of useful information. It was once be possible to search by these tags, that functionality was dismissed, but at least the content was still visible. I do not understand why it’s now impossible to even see the metadata, I see no reason that justifies that.
It could be a DAC related issue. Try playing using built in audio output just to see if you can replicate this.

I had the issue (no display of songs w/in an album) after a “migration” from the Audirvana 3.5 version to Origin. And renaming (temporarily) my V2.sqlite file, restarting Origin, and syncing with my music folder fixed it.

Thank you for your kind reply @paulvz, much appreciated. It sounds like a similar recommendation to the one I receive from Antoine some time ago, but back then, it was about the AudirvanaDatabase.sqlite. I have just uninstalled Audirvana so I might have to choose a different approach now.
Hi @Antoine, my last update from 20 days ago still reflect the current situation. In the meantime, I’ve received several recommendations on this thread and another one, from Audirvana users who very kindly offered solutions that worked for them. Each solution looks different and I am not sure what the best approach is. I would be happy to give it another go but that is only going to work if I can receive assistance from you, with some clear instructions. I am still not sure if the problem is being caused by Audirvana or the DAC (which seems to work fine outside of Audirvana), but I guess you or someone in your team would understand better than anyone else how this problem can be solved. I’ve uninstalled all versions of Audirvana incl. Audirvana plus, since my trial has expired some time ago. I wanted to test what happens if I select the computer speakers instead of the DAC as an output, that seems like a sensible thing to do, as bitracer suggested.
Can you send us a copy of the “Debug Info” when you have this issue? You can get it in Audirvana Settings>My account
Note: By clicking on the Debug Info button, Audirvana automatically copies all its content, all you have to do is paste it in response to this message
Hi @Antoine, I am pasting below the latest debug info that I have. It’s a couple of weeks prior to the problem described above. Unfortunately when the problem showed up, nobody told me to submit the debug info, in the meantime my license has expired and I’ve uninstalled all versions of Audirvana Origin and Audirvana plus from my computer (the Audirvana folders and database files are still in the bin, so I can retrieve them if needed).

I use a 2018 Mac mini and I have a USB cable plugged into my DAC and another into the Oppo 205.
I thought that in this version it would be possible to leave a configuration for each device, but if I change the DAC I need to redo it.
Is there a way to keep each setting?
Another doubt, I would like that when Origin starts, it shows up my files and not the favorites.
Because the discs that are in my files are already the ones I normally listen to.
Hello @Reynaldo,
The actual Audirvāna Origin version you have do not have those features but it will be here at the same time as the 2.0 version of Audirvāna Studio.

Bonjour @Antoine ,
J’ai acheté Origin et je trouve qu’il bénéficie de nouvelles fonctions qui me plaisent.
Mais ça fait cinq jours qu’il n’arrive pas à importer la totalité de mes albums.
Il rame dans des synchronisations à n’en plus finir avec des dossiers contenant des albums qui ne devaient poser aucun problème. Par exemple, l’importation de mes albums ALAC à partir du dossier géré par le lecteur Musique. Dans ce dossier, il n’y a ni Cue Sheets ni rien d’autre qui pouvait perturber Origin… Pourtant, 24 heures plus tard, la synchronisation n’était pas terminée et j’ai fini par jeter la base de données d’Origin à la corbeille.
L’application Musique n’était pas lancée lors de la synchronisation de Audirvāna Origin?
Je ne sais plus si elle était lancée, mais je suis certain de ne l’avoir pas utilisée pendant l’importation, ni pour écouter de la musique ni pour modifier les métadonnées des fichiers.
Origin avait importé avec succès le dossier contenant les fichiers DSD compressés WavPack. Hier, j’ai écouté avec lui quelques albums de ce format.
Depuis ce matin, il synchronise à nouveau le dossier dans lequel ces albums se trouvent et ça dure des heures. Pourtant, je n’ai pas ajouté des nouveaux albums ni modifié les métadonnées des fichiers.
Hi @Antoine I haven’t been using Audirvana for quite a while, meanwhile I purchased a license and replaced my DAC (the Pro-Ject Pre Box S2 Digital) with a new one, to make sure that any hardware issue would be excluded. I’ve tested the new DAC extensively with online streaming services and never had an issue, in 2-3 months of daily testing. Recently when I tried to use Audirvana again, and after just a few hours, a dropout occurred. At this point I am quite sure that the problem is somehow related to Audirvana and not just the device. Below is the logs, captured right after the event took place. It would be great if you can extrapolate any information and come back to me, if you have any ideas why this happens. Many thanks in advance.
