Music stuttering and skipping on multiple playback clients

Server Version#: 1.22.0.4163
Player Version#: Plexamp mobile 3.4.4, Windows Plex 1.29.0.1885-67668ec3

Hello, I’m a fairly new PLEX User, and have been trying to move towards using it as a music player. However my server seems to have issues with music. The music will occasionally skip and stutter (every minute or two, sometimes goes a few min. without happening). If you’ve ever listened to music with a portable CD player you will know what i mean, the music will suddenly go back a few seconds. Its very jarring and basically takes all of the enjoyment out of listening

The files are mostly FLAC but there are some mp3’s mixed in

Hardware is as follows:
CPU: Xeon 1230v2
MOBO: ASUS P8Z77-V_LK (bios ver.1001)
RAM: 16GB DDR3L PC3-12800 (4x Hynix HMT451U6DFR8A-PB modules)
Storage: OS is on a SATA SSD | Plex Metadata is on a NVMe SSD | Plex libraries are stored on a Stablebit Drivepool of HDDs | Transcode directory is a 6GB RAMDisk
GPU: FirePro V5900 (Not used for plex or transcoding, but figured i’d note it)

The server isnt starved for resources, All i run on it is PMS, Tautulli, a Windows 10-N virtual machine(with 4gb ram and 3 cpu threads allocated), and some shared files

Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance

Same problem here with Andoid playback device and PlexPlayer & PlexAmp! Server is a Synology NAS DS918+ with 16GB of RAM.
Issue has been reported several times over the recent years. But Plex does not seem to care about this!
There is no solution and only vague suggestions.
ALL other devices and software play the music without ANY issues when going via SMB or DLNA.
It is ONLY happening when Plex-Server and Plex-Player are used.
How can I ever enjoy music within Plex when the playback is stuttering every 10 minutes?
This is very annoying, especially because I invested in a life time Plex-Pass.
