Hi. I am running latest Audirvana on headless MINI with 10.13.6. I either stream or play from drive on MINI. Recently Audirvana has started to mute playback at start of playing a track. If I unmute it may stay unmuted for the next track but it will revert at the start of a new track. There is no consistency I can spot. There have been no changes to the MINI or to Audirvana. I seem to remember reading that someone else had this problem but a search here revealed nothing. Before I start to tear it all apart, could I ask if this has come up before? Thanks. Drew
Hello @drewR, Can you send me a copy of the “Debug Info”? You can get it in Audirvana Settings>General>Debug Info
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
Mute During Sample Rate Change could be a reason why it does not mute for every track but it does not explain why it plays in mute mode after.
Here is the debug info:

My hardware is currently a mid 2011 Mac Mini running Mac OS 10.13.6, which may be the OS ceiling for that unit. The Audirvana version is 3.5.38. The internet line speed is 10MBps.
Hi Damien
I undid the option to mute the switch of sample rate and it seems to have sorted the problem. I engaged the option because, in the past, a change to the rate would invoke a nasty noise but that does not seem to occur anymore so I think it is “problem solved”. Useful feedback though, I hope.
Cheers
Drew
