      Kelly HarrisonAug 6, 2025
      If your AirPlay stream skips or loses connection on your Russound Receiver, try the following: * Turn off Bluetooth on the iOS device. * Try connecting the MCA and DMS-3.1 directly to the router, bypassing any switches to isolate potential network conflicts. * Try setting the wireless router to a different broadcast channel. Wireless network congestion and interference from other wireless devices can affect AirPlay stream stability.
