Done, definitely a big improvement.
I also found a thread that recommended adding 120:4:24:1 to the ALSA parameters. This seemed to help a little. I am not hearing the glitches anymore, but the audio is pausing for much longer when there are dropouts (happening to a much lesser extent now…) Any concern with having that setting as well?
I did not see the Health Checker option anywhere. Is this a plugin that needs to be installed?
