Is anyone else having issues with client sound? Since I installed v1000 I'm noticing that sounds are really choppy/delayed/or don't play at all. Healing pulses, lightning, swing sounds... heck... all of it. I'm seeing <100ms times in the Network panel and very little packet loss so that's why I'm asking. It's most likely just my work network sucking donkey balls, but I'm curious if anyone is "hearing" this issue. Actual movement etc. seem normal. Just sound. Weird.
PS - I've tried dumping/re-created prefs etc.

All I know is that the healing sound pulses have slowed down a lot. It's confusing now because the sound for healing someone is what the sound used to be for healing myself with the ring, and I can't tell the difference anymore.

I've noticed that too; we're looking into it.Jazz wrote:Is anyone else having issues with client sound?

I’ve noticed Apple’s network stack has slowed down with the last few OS updates. All sounds — specifically iTunes playback — can be interrupted during periods of heavy network IO. I’ve seen this issue before, but it was on NT4 a few decades ago when it was trying to ping WINS servers that weren’t there—the solution then was disabling the WINS daemon. While the OS is completely different, real-time processes fighting each other over CPU time can cause sound, GUI and network freezes like this. I noticed a network activity spike same as the NT box decades ago when the sound was interrupted. So, it might be something to look into.
When I replaced my Airport Extreme & extender with a Netgear R6700, 802.11ac system (TX currently 200–300Mbps at current location [S/N RSSI: -55/-86 for the techies]), the higher transfer rate has cut down on freezes—I assume there’s less backlog, but it only makes sense if you were going to replace your router anyway. This is an expensive “workaround” that doesn’t always work though. So, I can’t recommend it unless you have too much money or you can return it if it doesn’t work.
