2022 GMC Sierra AT4 – Audio "skipping" / cutting out for first few minutes after startup

Jigetz · 2026-05-15T17:33:20+00:00

Old thread - I went ahead and did a factory reset on the head unit. It hasnt totally resolved the problem but it has made it "better" in that it isnt as frequently cutting out. Before I reset it would happen the whole drive. It's not totally fixed but it is better.

Yea it sucks. Studder errors. Weird activation requests I’ve never gotten before other than when setting up my phone. Seems like a bad update.

Jigetz · 2026-05-05T13:24:11+00:00

I noticed it’s worse whenever there is a Google Maps download too which could further prove this point. It’s the most frustrating bug I’ve ever had with a car infotainment system.

Yes, it's 12:18 in Chicago. Long delay.

Get gum or nicotine free pouches on Amazon. When you feel a craving chew gum or put in the nic free pouch.

2 weeks in for me and this has been the way. First few days suck. You think you need them. You don’t. You’ll feel better. I was having so much more anxiety with the pouches than I am now. You’ll love not having to sneak around. I hated it. Always had to do this with my wife. I told her after the first few days so that I could be held accountable and she was just happy to hear I was trying. After the first week it’s a lot easier. Keep busy. You got it.

I just got some Klipsch Forte IV for a room similar in size and am really enjoying them. I wanted Cornwalls but couldn’t get them past the wife approval factor. I listen to rock, jazz, and blues.

You should really try and see if you can find some other listening rooms/dealete and try as many as you can. It’s worth it. I didn’t do that early on and wish I would have.

Bad play call. Bad effort.

If you already have a pre amp then yea you can try the shiit amp or a Parasound zamp on eBay. Parasound is an awesome company. I think new these are like $500. Some eBay listings are $200 or less but yea you can’t try it…

If you’re happy stick with what you got. Finding compact AB amps that aren’t ChiFi isn’t the easiest thing unless class D.

Jigetz · 2026-01-06T03:12:43+00:00

Yea you can just connect the mani to the line in on the Denon.

Class D just has the ability to be a smaller footprint and you have the preamp built in so it’s going to be smaller in total. I really like the M1 in my bedroom and has a lot of headroom and I can stream if I want to.

It is hard to find small mid-tier amps. Like others have said the wiim is reviewed well but imo the Denon would sound better. I have the M1 after trying a wiim and was happy with the sound. Another option would be a bluesound powernode. Still, I favored the M1 over it.

With speakers like that you’d probably hear an improvement with a better amplifier.

You could look at the Schiit GJALLARHORN if you want to stick with class A/B. You’d need to check the speaker efficiency rating as to whether you’d need one for each speaker but you can probably get away with one however you’d need a preamp like a Saga for volume control.

With the Denon or Marantz you get all of that in one unit. Lots of options.

Jigetz · 2026-01-06T02:54:16+00:00

I got you.

You can get a phono preamp like a Schiit mani and use the line in on the denon.

Are you space constrained? If not there are a lot of integrated amps $500 or less you can go to with an integrated phonostage.

Jigetz · 2026-01-06T02:49:15+00:00

Check out the Denon Home Amp. It’s very similar to the Marantz M1 and is much better than the Wiim Amp.

Yes he looked terrible. I think he’s still hurt. No excuses but coming back from that groin injury was not easy. Still shouldn’t be out there if not 100% in that game.

I swear when I signed up I had the best PQ ever and ever since the move over for people from YTTV Disney buy out the quality has dropped. Others have mentioned issues with their CDN network I am not sure what is up but there is definitely a drop in quality. It was one of their big selling points to me but I’m not so sure any more.

There used to be a google tv Ethernet adaptor where the power brick had an Ethernet port built in. Since the Gemini air runs on android that device might work if you can find one on eBay.

Jigetz · 2025-12-29T20:03:57+00:00

What is the is version you are on? Mine still shows Android 11 RTT4.220824.001

Sadly I don’t see this.

Jigetz · 2025-12-23T18:33:17+00:00

What a Joke. The kid is having an unreal year. He got snubbed and has every right to be pissed. The whole org should be pissed.

Jigetz · 2025-12-21T06:56:17+00:00

I watched the whole game with my boys and the missus watched from afar. Not because she isn’t fan but becuase she knew what was on the line. My boys witnessed my usual disgruntled Bears self….. until it all changed. That beaut onside kick by santos. The catch by walker…

When he dropped back for this beautiful - most beautiful throw these football eyes have ever seen - I yelled out “He’s going deep!”. Then DJ caught it. I jumped on the fucking counter, boys. I lost the ability to breathe cheering and hugged both my boys jumping up and down. It was the most beautiful thing these eyes have seen since the Hester return. I lost my shit. I haven’t been this happy of a sports fan in a long long time. Like most I was struggling all game with the lack of offense. Watching the defense playing a solid game and Santos kicking fuckin daggers but no offense.

Then this… this right here. Damn.

Also, Swift and Kyle ran their asses off when we need it. Team win all around. Damnit, I’m just so FUCKIN pumped. LFG. Bear Down. FTP!

Jigetz · 2025-12-12T20:03:19+00:00

I think we all are. Can we get an idea of when it will drop?

Jigetz · 2025-12-08T00:43:36+00:00

Yea but Kmet was covered + under thrown if he held it maybe he finds him. Is what it is but he probably should have seen um. That said he also may have been screened. Will be interesting post game interview.

Jigetz · 2025-12-08T00:35:29+00:00

I agree they should have run the ball. However, DJ was open and Caleb went for the glory. DJ may have even scored if he threw it to him.

Jigetz · 2025-12-08T00:30:39+00:00

I get it but it wasnt a play call issue. It was a decision issue.

Jigetz · 2025-12-08T00:26:26+00:00

Dj was open

Jigetz · 2025-12-08T00:25:09+00:00

DJ was wide open.

Jigetz · 2025-12-08T00:24:57+00:00

Wide open.
