not happy..all worked yesterday (with stutter sometimes)..but today when i restarted the box..all was reset! what is wrong with this gear? again i cant play dsd and severe stutter is also back. AND I DIDNT DO ANYTHING THEN JUST SWITCH OFF YESTERDAY AND SWITCH ON TODAY. NEVER EVER EXPERIENCED THIS...and i have a plug-in problem, it wont let me update/ de-activate/ activate plug-ins now for some reason..COULD IT BE I HAVE A FAULTY BOX?

i am going to try a new sd cards (i have 4x new ones 16gb now...am desperate..lolz) with a fresh copy of 0.4.5.1, wish me luck at 3am.lolz

UPDATE at 6am: dsd works again..dont have a clue what i did...i just kept on making new versions of 0.4.5.1 until the last one worked...well..all higher quality files stutter like crazy as are the dsd files. and volume is still much lower as it should be. but the rest works.
damn i need to get ready for work.that will be fun..having meetings with no sleep at all this night....lolz

Hi,
Your troubles are not unique, as you have gathered. I upgraded to 4.51, on a new microSD card, and have noted similar issues to you - stuttering, volume change, and the unit not retaining changes to the DAC config. Also although it would reboot it would not switch off through the software. I use Squeezelite, and it had all been working well until the upgrade, which I did by burning the image directly to the new card using imageUSB.
I have put the original card back in, with version 3.3 on it, and the problems have disappeared.
I will reformat the new card, rewrite the new image, and test it again in the next 24 hours, and let you know the results. If they continue to be poor then I will also write to SoTM and hope for a useful answer.
