I have the following problem with sound reproduction:
There is s sound gap (no sound), when starting sound files from SSD.
These are PCM (=WAV) files.
Hi @Keruskerfuerst,
I there is sound eventually, that sounds like the player is adding the delay, whether a bug or by configuration.
Check your configuration.
There is a sound gap:
the music is playing for one second, then a sound gap of one second and music continues to play.
Still sounds like the player, so I still advise you toe check your configuration of even try another player.
I am using VLC.
Where to check the configuration ?
I’ve never been a VLC fan. Neither fanatic.
And I don’t use a media player this side, so can’t help you with that.
I would suggest a dedicated Audio player, such as Audacious or Strawberry.
If the problem still persists, you might look for and adjust the buffering configuration via the applications preferences.
Regards.
VLC Preferences > Audio
Or ~/.config/vlc
In the VLC GUI, you might also wish to toggle “Show Settings” from Simple to All to expose a greater number of possible settings.
Regards.
I could not find any setting regarding buffering.
Nor I, at least not at first glance. Settings related to buffering of audio are often found in Audio players; the naming may vary.
Ah, I found it.
From Preferences → Input/Codecs → scroll down until you find the Advanced section (remember that “Show settings”: All should have been selected as prviously mentioned);
From there you can try increasing the “File caching (ms)” value; the values are in milliseconds; try modifying the default value to a greater amount (example 1000 is 1 second, 1600 is 1.6 seconds).
If your audio files are being played from a network location (example, a server or NAS) the buffering may be due to playback from these resources. In that case, you could try increasing the “Network caching” value.
I don’t use VLC often, but this seems the most likely.
Regards.

Now, I found this setting, too.
I have increased the buffering to 3000.
Now, I have no sound gap.
