SiriusXM - Sound breaks up


Recommended Posts

I just enabled online streaming access in my SiriusXM account, and want to be able to use Control4 to listen.  I added the SiriusXM Driver (SiriusXM.c4z, Version 97, 1/02/2020) to my Family Room, Logged in successfully to my account using the Driver Actions, and connected the Digital Audio Output of the Driver to an available Digital Audio Input.  It showed up and was kept visible in Navigator, Refreshed Navigators, and everything looked fine, and surprisingly easy to set up.

Using the Control4 App on my Android phone, SiriusXM is there, and tapping on it, the Interface comes up, looks pretty good actually, and I selected one of the Favorites I had previously created.  The Receiver turned on, switched to the correct input, showed a PCM stream, again everything looking as expected.

But the problem is that the audio being played is very sporadic.  There will be silence most of the time, with an occasional split second or few seconds of the audio channel selected from time to time.

If I use the SiriusXM Android App on my phone, it plays perfectly.

I then added the SiriusXM Universal Driver, binding it to an available channel on the Roku Ultra in this room, and it works just fine as well.

But I'd rather not have to turn the TV on, and use that interface, to play the SiriusXM content, and prefer to use the C4 App (as we do with Tidal, which works perfectly).

The Driver is current, everything turns on properly, so where is the problem arising?  I don't see another Control4 Driver for it, and I'm not seeing any Properties in the Driver I'm using that could cause this, with very few options even provided.  Nothing else is playing (Audio or Video) elsewhere in the house when I'm trying this out.

Thanks for any suggestions.

Did you reboot after adding the driver and adding the account? I've seen that clear a sporadic issue with SXM on occasion

Nailed it!  I hadn't, just did, and it works fine now.  I should have tried that before posting, but appreciate your reminding me to reboot when anything funky is going on.

Thanks!
