Thanks for the details and giving those a try, TigrMan! Glad to hear the sound issues were resolved with the sample rate changes 
You’re definitely not the only one running into the loading issue. The internet disconnect and reconnecting is only a workaround for the issue, not a resolution to the problem. The issue before did require our team to look into this issue and with us seeing reports for this issue again, we’ll likely need our developers and engineers to intervene on the situation.
We’re gathering information for our team now on that thread, if you wanted to add the details there, we can get this information sent up to our team.
