What to do if my auna Silver Star Mini Radio keeps buffering?

  Joseph OneillAug 20, 2025
  If your auna Radio is constantly re-buffering, it's likely due to issues with your broadband connection. The radio streams data from the station via your broadband. If there's a high error rate or intermittent connection, the radio will pause until the connection stabilizes and receives enough data. Check your DSL modem to ensure your broadband line isn't experiencing a high error rate or disconnections. If problems persist, contact your broadband supplier.

  If your auna Radio connects to the network but can't play specific stations, several reasons are possible: * The station might not be broadcasting at the current time (consider different time zones). * The station's server might be overloaded with too many listeners. * The station may have reached its maximum listener limit. * The station might no longer be broadcasting. * The link on the radio could be outdated (though this updates automatically daily). * The internet connection between your location and the server is slow. * Your internet service provider might be failing to stream in your geographical area. If you have a laptop, try connecting it if your Internet Radio cannot find the station.

  If your auna Radio can't find your PC when scanning under the UPnP function, consider these possibilities: * Ensure the internet radio is connected to the wireless access point. You can connect to your wireless network by going to ‘Configuration’, ‘Network’, ‘Wireless network connection’. * A firewall on your PC might be blocking shared files. If you have a third-party firewall (like Norton or Zone Alarm), consult its manual for instructions. * If your PC is on a managed network with a server, the PC being searched for might need to be the server's workgroup.

  If you can’t share a folder on your auna Radio, it's likely due to a scan error occurring if the Windows file sharing application times out while the radio scans PC folders. This is more likely if both the PC and the radio are connected wirelessly. Try reconnecting the PC with the media content to the network via cable.

  A 'Scan-Error' on your auna Radio typically means that the Windows file sharing application timed out while the radio was scanning the content of folders on a PC. This often happens when both the PC with the media content and the radio are connected wirelessly. Try reconnecting the PC with the media content to the network using a cable.

  If your auna Radio connects to the network but can't play certain stations, the station might not be broadcasting at the moment, or their server might be overloaded. The station may have reached its maximum number of listeners or stopped broadcasting altogether. The link on the radio could be outdated, but it updates automatically every day. A slow internet connection or issues with your internet service provider could also be the cause. As a first troubleshooting step, try using a PC to play back the stream via the broadcaster’s web site. If you can play back the station with a PC, please report to the customer service where you bought this radio. If you have a laptop, try connecting it if your Internet Radio cannot find the station.

  If your auna Radio can't find PCs when scanning under the UPnP function, first ensure that the radio is connected to your wireless access point by going to ‘Configuration’, ‘Network’, ‘Wireless network connection’ and entering your wireless network details. Also, check your PC's firewall settings, as it might be blocking shared files. If you have a third party firewall (Like Norton, or Zone Alarm) that will have its own control panel and you will need to consult the manual for your firewall. If your PC is connected to a managed network, with a server sometimes the PC being searched for needs to be server Workgroup.

  If you can’t share a folder on your auna Radio because the option is not highlighted, it's possible a scan error occurred because the Windows file sharing application timed out while the radio was scanning the PC's folders. This is more likely if both the PC and the radio are connected wirelessly. To resolve this, try re-connecting the PC with the media content into the network via cable.
