    Airplay times out when I pause music playback

    Playing ripped music files from my iPhone to an AirPort Express, the connection to the AEX always reverts to the phone if I pause for a few minutes. Auto lock is off on the iPhone. Any way to select an Airplay device and have it stay there, even if I pause?

    Apple Music Does Sound Check work over Airplay?

    For a few years now it feels like local music files streamed over Airplay 2 do not use Sound Check to even out the volume levels. I switched to Airfoil a while back, which seems to totally resolve the issue, but just tried Airplay again and volume levels are all over the place. Sound Check over...

    Wi-Fi Jitter, Erratic Ping, Latency Due To AWDL (AirDrop/AirPlay)

    I have noticed that Wi-Fi on macOS Ventura has high jitter. This affects any real-time application. It is common for latency (ping) to spike to spike from a normal 2-10ms to nearly 200ms. This has happened in 13.0 and now 13.1. The only fix so far has been to disable AWDL; which is used by...

    Apple devices and IGMP Snooping on, or off?

    Hey all, I have a topic that's been discussed before, but most of what I can find is quite a few years old. Also I wasn't sure which category to add this to, so I figured I'd add it to iOS because it can apply to multiple devices. With this said: Most of the old articles out there that...
