Richard Branches 231 Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 (edited) Operating system: Fedora 29 Server version: 4.1.1.0 Emby mobile version: 3.0.59 Cast devices: Computer with Google Chrome 75.0.3770.100 and Android phone with OS version 5.1.1 Wifi connection: 802.11n up to 300Mbps Since there is not a separate section for Chromecast devices, I decided to create this topic here because I'm using the server on Linux. As you may know, the Chromecast Audio device supports only audio streams with up to 96Khz/24bit, which means, 192Khz streams get transcoded by the server to AAC 96Khz. So far so good. The problem is, I'm getting frequent silence cutouts of about half a second through playback of 24 bit FLAC songs, regardless of their resolution. 16 bit FLACs are not having this issue. here are two samples recorded with my phone's mic: A 192Khz song transcoded to AAC 96Khz, the cutout is present at 00:22 seconds: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1KOl_tfdfvlBi4i8E7JQ_3lB5lxYtqvEd A 96Khz song played directly, the cutout is present at 01:11 seconds and 01:21 seconds: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1e8zG8UuUUjQ99NeQbwcobRB7Uk9gm3pR The Chromecast audio is a few inches away from the WiFi and there isn't any kind of interference that may lead to the issue I'm having. The computer is connected directly to the modem/router through ethernet. I don't think the WiFi is not capable of handling the size of those audio streams.

Luke 37084 Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 Does the 4.2 release impact this at all? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Branches 231 Posted July 27, 2019 Author Share Posted July 27, 2019 Does the 4.2 release impact this at all? Thanks. Unfortunately yes, I've been testing this for about an hour and I've heard at least one hiccup in some songs so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37084 Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 One hiccup in how many songs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Branches 231 Posted July 27, 2019 Author Share Posted July 27, 2019 One hiccup in how many songs? Oh, I don't know, I've been doing a homework for my job and I just noticed two in one song and one in others but I don't know exactly, like 5 out of 15 maybe.

Richard Branches 231 Posted July 27, 2019 Author Share Posted July 27, 2019 (edited) To me the problem could be Linux but I'm not able to test this with the server installed on Windows for now, so I'll let you know someday when I finally test this to confirm. Thank you anyway for your attention. Edited July 27, 2019 by Richard Branches Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Branches 231 Posted September 8, 2019 Author Share Posted September 8, 2019 I wasn't able to test this under Windows 10 until today, the cutouts are still present but less frequent than on Fedora. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
