Audiovana disconnects from Qobuz after several days of nonuse

After several days of nonuse, it seems Audiovana disconnects from Qobuz. When I hit the connect button, nothing happens.  I have also heard that other Audirvana users have reported similar issues with Qobuz disconnecting after periods of inactivity. 

Audiovana response reports “Qobuz had some issues last week and even this week to log Qobuz account, so I won’t be surprised if you still get some as of today. It is not an issue related to Audiovana, as you could get an error while you try to connect on their website”.

I then discovered that the latest "Qobuz app version includes enhanced security updates in the login process, which may be causing login problems for some users. These updates involve a transition to a more secure authentication method (OAuth), replacing the older, simpler login method that had vulnerabilities. The new security measures have led to errors in the authentication process, affecting users who updated their apps on platforms like iOS. Qobuz is actively working to resolve these issues and restore normal service”.

@hgeifman No issues with Qobuz - I use Aurender. Sounds like they forgot to test this with multiple operating systems.
Give them a few days they’ll fix it. 

@erik_squires I have the same issue if I listen in the car and I left Tidal streaming at home. It stops with a message that indicates it’s playing on my Aurender

@audphile1, You may be right that there several systems that need testing to include Roon, AURENDER, HQPlayer, Audiovana and probably many more.  I am only running Audiovana on one device.  Testing audio systems like Roon, Aurender, HQPlayer, and Audirvāna involves several key components to ensure seamless music streaming.

I submitted an issue case to QoBuz and am waiting for a response.  Two of my friends that use Audiovana have reported the same QoBuz connection issue.

You can use mconnect with your bricasti if it has Ethernet (I don’t remember if yours does or not) so you got music until they resolve qobuz in audirvana

@audphile1, Thanks. Yes, my Bricasti M21 DAC has an Ethernet connection but I do not need it. The work around is to use my audio system daily and the there are no issues. The Audiovana to QoBuz connection issue ONLY occurs if I do not use my audio system daily. A very simple work around.

In summary, I reported issues with connecting Audirvana to Qobuz, especially if my audio system is not used daily. A workaround involves regular use of the system to avoid connectivity issues.

The problem may be related to changes in Audirvana’s login mechanism or server-side updates from Qobuz.  I filed an issue with QoBuz and am waiting for them to respond.
