It will open one forder and it would not open the other. Then i try to open the folder I could open and this time it would not open. My storage is NTfs 3 tera usb disc. Another problem is acually very scary. When I chane a song from a list i get a very high lever sound like a gun shut. The same sound I get when i push next song.. Im worried for my speaker's drivers as they might get dameged.

I think there's a possibility that your USB HDD has developed bad sectors or is dying. Please unplug it from Lumin.

I would suggest you plug it into a computer, run a SMART HDD diagnostics using any relevant software from your HDD manufacturer or third party, and see if there's anything abnormal.

I'd recommend setting up MinimServer using a computer, or Synology or QNAP NAS. (And backup your music data.)

Although I don't think the firmware caused your problem, if you like I can send you the previous firmware for Lumin.

When I first got my S1 I would occasionally get a burst of white noise when a song started. I reported that and a firmware fix resolved it. That was a couple of years ago, and it works fine since then. Hopefully you are using current firmware.

I have a d1 but when I change songs, or stop it, change folders, I hear a slight higher pitch tick noise from the unit itself almost like a confirmation that it received the input of what I was commanding it to do but it's never been through my speakers.

I agree with Peter, before fore you go crazy trying to figure it out, make sure you run a drive test to ensure it doesn't have an issues.

That's the sound of the relay, and is normal.

If you're worried about it, please turn Ultrasonic Filter on.
