In Reply to: RE: How do I troubleshoot skipping music? posted by mikecole on December 29, 2016 at 08:03:53
I will try the rebooting of everything all at once. I have tried powering off and on separately and that did not work. I will also try actually unplugging everything for a minute. I am using a Windows PC with Win7 Ultimate for the media server. That is the only thing it is used for. I have a separate computer to do all my other stuff like work and surfing etc. I am using an iPad to control the music slection.

That seemed to work, so I am just left with the usual dropouts. I just ordered some cat5 cable and will wire this up since the router is only about 20ft away. I suppose that will cure the dropouts and any other oddness.
perhaps it would help to provide a more thorough picture of your arrangement and specifics of your content. I used to get dropouts in the garage playing 96/24 content with a Touch streamer until I put an access point out there.
Unless your current ethernet cable is faulty, getting a new one won't likely do much. Also you should consider getting CAT7 today if you're in need of a new cable.
In your first post you said, " If this were being done wirelessly, I would suspect that, but it is a wired connection everywhere. "
But now you're ordering some cat5 cable so I'm not understanding your setup. Were you experiencing problems playing music over Wifi or were you in fact using a "wired connection everywhere"?
It puzzles me when people say they are experiencing dropouts unless they are using a very under-powered computer and/or running other tasks while playing music, playing over a marginal network, or have some other severe issues going on in their setup.
How old is your PC, what CPU does it have, how much memory does it have? What media types are you playing through your PC? Is it simple CD quality 16/44.1 resolution music files, or much larger files that require higher bandwidth? Is your computer 'memory starved'? Is it swapping to disk? What player software are you using?
We can hope that your new cat5 cable solves your problem but not knowing anything about your setup makes true troubleshooting practically impossible.
