Sounds stops regularly

I have a Hifiberry AMP+ on a Raspberry PI B+ running max2play Version 2.53. The setup worked quite well for a long time, but now the system often just stops playing when I play songs through the Logitech Media Server. Sometimes restarting squeezelite helps; sometimes I have to reboot the whole system, and sometimes just nothing works. Can anybody infer something from this DEBUG information? Thanks!

Hi sdspieg,

Your debug looks normal. However, with the new update, problems can occur with old systems. We are currently developing primarily for the Pi 3 and Pi 4. Which image do you use (wheezie, jessie, stretch, buster)? You can find this information in the Debug Info on the Settings/Reboot page. If you don’t use stretch, please download it from our website and burn it to the SD card. If necessary, make a backup of your current system beforehand.
When the dropsouts occur, is there anything suspicious in the Health Checkeron on the Settings/Reboot page? Please also take a look at the Squeezebox Server log file. Perhaps error messages appear there too.
