The MERGING+PLAYER stops for a fraction of second precisely every X minutes and then restarts normally. This always happens every X minutes from the first interruption.
Your DHCP network switch is renewing the IP adresses, which results in a small disconnection - re connection, causing a drop in the audio.
This mechanism is called DHCP lease, it ensures that devices have a unique IP address, and performs a re-assignment on a determined time interval.
The DHCP Lease Time needs to be extended in your network switch. The recommended lease time is 24 hours. |
