I still did not solve this issue. But maybe, I am one step further: I noticed that I put the audio_buffer_size and buffer_before_play option in the wrong place (inside the mpd.conf audio_output-element). Since I moved them to the top level of mpd.conf, they take effect: I set the audio_buffer_size to 131028 and the buffer_before_play to 100% And now I can see (in 'top') that mpd consumes almost 30% (29.5) of the available RAM However, this did not solve the dropout problem. Higher values for the audio_buffer_size were rejected. Moreover, I noticed that the dropouts even occur with MP3-files, not only with DSD and FLAC (but with high-resolution sources, they are much more frequent).
So, I still do not know .. .. why I cannot use all the available RAM .. what I can do with the MPD-parameters buffer_time, period_time and max_output_buffer_size (I tried to play with them, but that did not lead to any noticeable change) p.s. I also tried to disconnect from the WLAN, to play the music from a different hard disc, to change the nrpacks using modprobe .. but that all did not help. If nobody has a better idea, I guess, I'll have to replace that laptop :-( -- View this message in context: http://voyage-linux.34677.n3.nabble.com/mpd-conf-and-DSD-files-tp4025584p4025853.html Sent from the Voyage Linux mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ Voyage-linux mailing list Voyage-linux@list.voyage.hk http://list.voyage.hk/mailman/listinfo/voyage-linux
