Playback stops - when I turn on the bathroom light

dcode

Just like the topic suggest I have been having some issues witht he Rasp Pi 3 Model B in conjunction with Rune Audio.

When I go to the bathroom and turn on the light, the playback stops.
At first I thought its just a magic co-incidence when it happened the first time.
After this I had the "spinning circles" and also a notification stated that the "audio output changed" and it was posted 3-4 times.
And if I check in settings, Indeed the source was changed to Rasp-Pi Analog instead of my external DAC.

My setup to my Pi is

External 2.5" HDD running on power from Rasp.
External DAC via USB.

I now suspect that I might have a power-issue with the Pi.

The power-adapter to the Pi was sold together as a complete kit.
Its 5V, 2A.
EDIT: My Mistake, its 5V, 2.5A

Anyway, after the spinning circles, its impossible to restor the playback.
I need to reboot it, usually twice.
Also if I try to browse the artists when I have the spinning circles, there is no folders any more.

Thank you for your time,

Dcode

might be or HF itermitent
But your PSU is no good as you have RPi3 where 2.5A is a minimum requirement

I just edited my Original post.

Hi dcode,

What type

Incandescent light bulb?
Halogen lamp?
Fluorescent lamp?
LED lamp?

The power-adapter to the Pi was sold together as a complete kit.

That does not mean "high quality".

Where is your Pi located? In the same room?

It is definitively some sort of electromagnetic interference (EMI).

or a big power drop on that circuit. But if this going to be the case than its a bit doggy as light circuit should be separate 5A MCB than ring main 32A or radial 20A.
