Yes. It’s a Qobuz problem, which has been explained by Qobuz in other forums involving other players as a problem with a revamping of their servers, with their content distribution network (may be same thing as servers) and even with attacks (again may have to do with servers). But in any case, not an Audirvana problem, it’s on the Qobuz end.
Audirvana has become unusable for me. About a fifth of the time, I can play entire albums or playlists as normal. But the other 80% of the time, each track starts alright but about 5 seconds into the song, the track length switches to something much shorter (sometimes as little as 7 seconds; other times something like 22 or 25 seconds) and the song is cut short.
If it’s a problem with Qobuz, I am not experiencing it at all when I play the same album or playlist on the Qobuz client. It only happens when I stream Qobuz here on Audirvana.
Yes, that was also the case when Qobuz had a problem with their servers before. Their app might be unaffected, but other players were.
Today I’ve experienced a Qobuz problem again, where an entire track from an album I liked refuses to play. All the other tracks on the album play fine, but not this particular one. This is the same behavior I experienced when Qobuz was having its troubles before.
In case there’s a problem with Audirvana, have you selected the “Fix for unwanted playback stops” in Audirvana’s settings?
The Qobuz app uses a different API to the one provided to third parties to keep the Qobuz app having feature advantages over third party implementations. Could be they have updated their third-party API. I’m sure Audirvana will be able to identify the cause…….
Can you go into the Audirvāna settings and in the My Account section? You will see a ‘Start Log Session’ button; click on it and reproduce your issue. After you reproduce it, click 'Stop Log Session’ and send me the audirvana_studio.log file you can find by clicking the 'Open Log Folder’ button at [email protected].
Antoine, in my opinion this is still a Qobuz issue. I have this problem as well. That issue is also with playing Qobuz on Bubble UPnP, USB Audio Player Pro and in some cases with Qobuz Connect as well. In the Qobuz Club the Qobuz staff has stated as well that there are still issues.
Problem is that while they solve issues with certain tracks, other tracks will pop up with issues as well. Even tracks that worked perfectly fine at first immediately after the transfer.
Do you have information from their side regarding timelines or more insight on what they are doing? At this point I’m seriously considering cancelling my yearly subscription which is due for renewal end of June, and move everything to Tidal.
