Since switching to a Mac Studio and updating to Ventura (13.2.1, but happened with earlier Ventura releases), Music's broadcasts to four wired AirPlay Yamaha WXA-50 receivers/amps are subject to occasional dropouts. I haven't been able to characterize when they occur (death for debugging...I know...<sigh>).
My best guess for now is that other processes are getting prioritized over Music's worker bees. But that's purely a guess. It seems the dropouts occur most frequently during the last few seconds of a track. But that could be observational bias.
Mostly, I'm fishing for others who might have noticed similar behavior and might have some theories on what's going on.
Any comments?
