I don't think this is a problem with your computers or setup. I've seen a few strange things: I was using blocking sockets to send the audio frames (these are UDP) but it seems that, some of the lost frames I was observing were due to lost packet at the sender level (there is a re-send mechansim that was working, though). When playback was interrupted on my system, a "send" was blocking for more than a second (which is really strange, as I send them at the real time pace and our logs confirmed that no overrun/overflow occured). Anyway, I've moved to non blocking sockets and a proper of socket 'write' availaibility check, and with that I've been able to play hours now and no interruptioj nor lost frame (no need to re-send them), so maybe that's a solution (although I don't like when I don't understand) LMS 7.7.5 - 5xRadio, 3xBoom, 4xDuet, 1xTouch, 1 SB2.
