Sigh...error message unable to open an audio file for playback

Good day…

Any clue why I am getting this error after years of flawless use?

Getting a bit fed up…a playback player shouldn’t be this complicated

Hello @Stickyears,

Can you check your firewall settings: In System Preferences > Security and Privacy > Firewall > Firewall Options > Automatically allow signed software to receive incoming connections check that this setting is selected and “Block all incoming connections” is not selected.

After doing this, can you restart your WiFi router because it may have a problem transmitting the connection used by Audirvana Remote (Like the Apple Remote app that controls iTunes, which can be blocked for the same reasons)

problem solved…and I’m too embarrassed to share…let’s just say make sure you go into settings and designate the drive you want audirvana to play from

thanks to all for the assistance
