Hi there, I run an RPi4b wih 8GB RAM with pCP+Squeezelite+LMS as my preferred NAP. Runs like a charm - Life is beautiful. However, before I started using the RPi as my NAP, it hosted my TVheadend server that distributed the TV signal from my Panasonic TV to my Wifi clients. I am now wondering

Yes, this is by design. Bluetooth creates a completely separate device. I doubt the stuttering is between LMS and squeezelite. Its likely in the bluetooth transmission. I assume your bluetooth extensions are up to date. I would force the headset to use SBC codec, and see if that helps.

Hello good ppl. So I have setup RPI 4 Model B (4gb) and I'm using it only to run piCorePlayer (with Squeezelite and LMS). I'm connecting over wifi (5ghz) and using internal bluetooth to connect to the speakers. Everything works, but randomly I get stutter in audio from time to time (not sure

Hey everyone thanks for the feedback. For the record it was output volume that was my issue and the other playback options didn't solve that so I'm not worried about the rate change as I'll continue to use HW. I did more research last night and the Apple USB-C dongle only outputs 1V RMS so
