Hi Patrick,

You did not answer exactly my 3rd question:
How MPD server access audio files in FreeNAS?  Using wifi or wired cable?

Next, show me the output of "lsusb -v", I would like to know if you are using USB Audio Class 1 or Class 2.

Hi Punky

Today it will not fail (produce clicks(, I have booted it up from "cold off" 5 times no clicks at all!

I have looked at all my computers and electronics, I can see nothing on or off different from when it fails. I know from previous failures it can be at any time of the day or night.

Here is top output:-

Task mpd seems to vary from 12 to 20 % CPU

My Freenas box is wired to my ADSL/router, the MPD server and my Nokia N800 control PDA are WIFI connected.

I have enabled the soundfile plugin, but until it fails or not I don't know whether that did any good

I have set up a recorder to capture the audio output, next time it fails, I will post the sound file so you can hear for yourself that I am not going mad!

thanks for your help

regards

Patrick

Hi Patrick,

Next things to try:

1. enable the sndfile plug-in back by removing/commenting the lines:
decoder {
        plugin "sndfile"
        enabled "no"
}

2. run "top" to see if you mpd process or system consuming high% CPU

3. You mentioned the MPD server access your flac files stored in FreeNAS. Do MPD server use wifi or wired cable to connect to FreeNAS?

Regards,
Punky

Hi Patrick,

Remove the line "format "44100:16:2" in ALSA configuration of /etc/mpd.conf. Restart mpd and see how it goes.

audio_output {
        type            "alsa"
        name            "My ALSA Device"
        device          "hw:0,0"        # optional
