A few weeks ago I built a Sendspin player based on this design: https://github.com/RealDeco/SendspinZero/tree/main and was very happy with it - it just worked. Very well!
Yesterday, while playing, it started stuttering with big breaks in the audio. Some fault finding led me to look at the ESPHome logs, which contained entries like this:
INFO ESPHome 2026.4.3
INFO Reading configuration /config/esphome/sendspin-lounge.yaml...
INFO Starting log output from 192.168.x.x using esphome API

That was with Music Assistant 2.8.6 and I have since downgraded to 2.8.5 (which worked well) but the problem persisted so I upgraded to 2.8.6 again.
I have also rebuilt the ESPHome device, including clean build but, again, that didn't help.
This is on HAOS running on a desktop PC:
- Core 2026.4.4
- Supervisor 2026.04.0
- Operating System 17.2
- Frontend 20260325.8
Does anyone have any ideas what could be causing this, diagnostic actions and, ideally, corrective actions please?
