Unable to start playing albums

It was a good idea, nevertheless!

Volume control, as far as I know, is inactive when streaming via UPnP. Per default, it sets itself to 50% and you can slide it to 100% without audible effect.

I don’t think it has something to do with the file format. The last couple of albums I tested were all from Qobuz, and those are FLAC files.

My feeling is that the recent AS updates made UPnP streaming unstable. I noticed with previous updates that UPnP streaming caused problems in starting the stream. Initially, AS worked flawlessly with RopieeeXL, only with the last few updates did it become almost unusable. It could also be caused by Mac OS updates. It’s a tricky situation.

As already said, Roon works 100% reliably, so there’s no issue with the LAN nor the Raspi. As much as I regret, I need to resort to Roon!

When you open the OSX console. And then try to start a song in Audirvana, do you see an error appear in the Console log?

Good Jacob is here, I just test a AIFF file and volume is good on usb I will try upnp. See what Jacob can find

My oppo 205 plays it via upnp but breaks up a bit prefers 100% volume slider

You know what…….my upnp was problematic, Thats why I made a leap of faith to Monterey beta and it did work better then Damien did the intermediate update and everything worked properly since

Hey Jacob, you a Verstappen fan ?

Where does that question come from?:grin:

Way off topic…….go team Orange ! Here in the colonies FP3 in 30 minutes from now

I tend to go off-topic quickly when the letters M+Q+A appear in a message. But Verstappen is very off-topic. But I can certainly appreciate Max’s racing skills. Went to DTM in Assen last weekend. The Mazda MX-5 cup is really fun to watch when it comes to track battles.

The question is whether the FP3 will start. The weather seems to be quite bad.

Those DTM cars are awesome, was Alex Albalon in the field?

Max is a bit behind the 8 ball with the grid penalty and Bottas is fast so far.

Pulling for Max to unseat Lewis this year……. Anyone who can drive a F1 car with wooden shoes on is a bad ass ! :wink:

Yep rained out…….lol but the race at SPA ?

You probably want to chill on it for now , send a message to support and let Antoine look at it

Have a good weekend

Which directory would that be?

Will do that!

What I do is open the console next to Audirvana, start the song and see what messages come up in the console.

I get a number of error messages in console when starting AS. I made two overlapping screenshots to display all error messages.

Do these messages ring some bells (for sure not for me)?

If you get the same log every time you try to play an album, there might be something useful. There is a reference to a missing file needed for the command in line 44595. I have no idea what the code is, but maybe Antoine can do something with it.

Thanks! I contacted Antoine just now.

Sometimes a log is obvious. Cue file refers to file:xxx, file not found. Other times it is not helpful to the user :wink:

I just re-booted my Mac Mini, re-started AS and it worked right from the start. I wouldn’t have a clue how this might have alleviated the issue, but for the moment it works. Let’s cross fingers!

Now what does the console show when starting an album? If the problem reappears, see if the same error comes back.

Enjoy the music.
