Transition from one music track to the following one - click

In Audirvana Origin 2.3.0 (macOS 12.6.5, Intel), when a music track changes to the following one, a short click is heard if the track transitions to the following track without a pause. This is the case with Pink Floyd/The Wall tracks, for example. This click does not exist with Audirvana 3.5.50. Here, the change of tracks takes place without any noise.

Hi @sbmn,

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

Dear Antoine,

following the Debug Info:
I have Sonarworks Plug-in configured, the same configuration in Audirvana 3.5.50. I just compared the sound between Audirvana Origin 2.3 and 3.5.50. The click sound appears only with Audirvana Origin 2.3 and older versions.

Regards

Can you please try to disable upsampling and your plugin in Audirvāna for testing purpose?

Hello Antoine,

I disabled upsampling and the plugin. This had no effect. The click between the tracks is still there.
In the past I also changed the upsampling mode to the previous SoX. This also had no effect.

Hi @sbmn,

Are you able to update to Ventura? If so, can you please update to 13.4 and then try to reproduce your issue?

If you still have your issue, you may have a damaged preferences file.
To reset it, open the Terminal application, and enter the following command:

defaults delete com.audirvana.Audirvana-Origin

Hi Antoine,
Unfortunately I cannot update to macOS Ventura 13.4 because I own a MacBook Pro Mid 2015 where macOS 13 is not supported.
I can try to delete the preferences but I don’t think that this will change anything because I have the same issue on two machines with Audirvana Origin. Also with Audirvana 3.5.50 I don’t have this issue on both machines.
The other machine is a Mac mini with macOS Mojave 10.14.
Regards

Ok, do you have this behavior if you try with a different output?

I just tested it with my Mac mini on Toslink (optical) and HDMI with Audirvana Origin 2.3.1. Always the same.
Regards

Can you open the Console app of MacOs and take a look at the CPU usage? Do you see a spike in the CPU usage when you have the issue?

I have tried it out. However, I cannot detect any spike.
