Roon "Lost control of audio device"?

All of a sudden for the past couple of weeks, I can’t get through 2 minutes of a song without receiving an error stating, “Roon lost control of the audio device.” I use a Spectrum modem and router. Spectrum  replaced my router, but I continue to receive the same error. Sometimes I hear what sounds like static coming through my speakers, right before the error pops up and the music stops. I’ve tried resetting my Antipodes S40 music server and my Chord English Electric 8 Switch. How do I correct the issue, because I can’t listen to music? Can anyone recommend a good router/modem?

Spencer,

Thanks so much for your response. 

I receive the error when playing files stored on my Antipodes S40(Samsung EVO SSD). Could it be my switch or USB cable? Sometimes it plays a song without error and other times I receive the error every one to two minutes.

My Antipodes S30 and S40 are hard wired to my Chord EE8 switch. The Ethernet cables are only 1m in length. Music will not play for more than 2 minutes without receiving the error, Roon lost control of the audio device. Sometimes I loose music all together and just hear "white noise"?

I talked to Mark from Antipodes last night and he made some adjustments to my S30 and S40 music severs. In addition, he told me to remove the Chord EE8 switch and plug the S30/S40 directly into the router. I’ve used the Chord EE8 switch for over a year with zero issues, so I don’t know why removing it seems to have eliminated the issue.?
