First, this is not a complaint about the Mini.... I'm just reporting this in case someone else has the same issue, this is not a support request.

Initially I purchased the Mini to go with my record player setup and a pair of powered bookshelf speakers. I liked it so much that I decided to upgrade to the Pro Plus. I added a few more Audio Pro speakers to my home and a single JBL Authentics 300 which I was having trouble getting to work with everything else but that's another topic....

Anyway, instead of returning the Mini I figured I would repurpose it for the JBL 300 (Aux input) which was working fine after setup. Once I put it in the room that I wanted it in I noticed the audio was randomly cutting out while streaming Spotify... At first I thought something was configured wrong so I went through setup again and still had the issue.

I swapped ALL the cables, changes wifi band, bound to specific router, different power supply for the mini and lastly tried a different speaker with an aux input and to my amazement the audio was still cutting out randomly.

So I then tried changing the placement of the mini in this area and every spot I moved it to would still cut in and out. What's bizarre is that the original location put the MIni within 2/3 feet of my Asus router which throws a very strong signal and there was no interference problem at all.

So that leaves the following wireless suspects providing the interference... This is my TV room area which consists of a 75" smart TV, Roku Ultra, a Sonos Arc, Sonos Sub, PS5 & some Philips Hue lighting, all are within 6' of the mini give or take (There's nowhere else I could put it with the JBL Speaker).

Out of curiosity I may keep tinkering with this and try to figure out specifically which device is causing the interference but at this point I have to relocate it.


So to reiterate, when I put the Mini & JBL Authentics 300 (Aux in) a different room, the interference (audio cut in/out)is completely gone.
