I have a whole-home topology that has been working for 4+ years, nothing has recently changed in my setup. Within the last 2 weeks, a new problem has come up. It is highly repeatable and I am wondering if others have seen it, or have a solution. The issue is that the ‘first component’ in a group, if it is a Connect:Amp, will frequently drop out (and then start playing again in ~10 seconds). The remaining components in the group will play continuously without any dropouts. Here is a summary of my situation:
- Approx 12 components: 6 Connect:Amps, then the rest are various Speakers such as Play 1s, Play 5s, Soundbars.
- All components are hardwired
- Running S2
- This issue only happens on Connect:Amps, and only when they are the ‘first’ in the list of a group of components. If I regroup things and change to a different Connect:Amp as the first, then the original one is fine, and the new-first-one will start to drop out. Happens at least every 10 minutes. Nothing drops out if I make one of the other rooms (with a Play-speaker) first in the list.
- (Updated): When there is no grouping, and only using a single device (Connect:Amp), it also drops out regularly. Any one of my amps will do this… not just a single one.
Anyone heard of this issue or have any ideas I can try? I have very fast internet, and since everything is hardwired, it wouldn’t seem that wifi is the issue (and most components continue to play, even when the first cuts out).
Thanks.
