Choppy Audio
Posted: Fri Sep 09, 2022 8:15 pm
I have been provided a new router by my ISP as my previous one lost the lan port in a recent storm.
Connected to the 4 gigabit lan ports I have 2 PC's and my Anan 7000 MK2 (Protocol 2)
After running Thetis for around 5 mins the audio gets choppy, I have speakers connected to the back of the Anan so not relying on VAC.
I switched to my old router and the issue goes away.
I tried using a 8 port switch, all OK.
I connected the Anan and 1 pc to the 8 port switch then the this to the router. All OK
I moved the PC connection back to the LAN port on the router, leaving the Anan connected to the 8 port. Audio goes choppy again after 5 mins.
Now I know the easy answer is just use the 8 port switch, but I want to try understand what the ports on the router are doing to cause the choppy audio. If I stop Thetis when it goes choppy and leave it for a few minutes its OK for a brief time. Its as if a buffer is getting full because if I just turn Thetis off and back on without a pause it is choppy straight away.
The router is a FritzBox 7530
Any suggestions on further diagnosing the problem?
Thanks
Paul
