Mac mini M1 audio streaming issue

My Mac Mini 1 disconnects my Tidal Connect Wi-Fi connection from my AT &T optical modem router Wi-Fi and external streaming server.


The Optical modem router is Ethernet hardwired to an audio streamer.


Interestingly the actual Mac Mini Wi-Fi signal does not disconnect. Just the Tidal Connect connection.


And it happens when the computer goes to sleep. 10 minutes. Keeping the screen/drive on maintains the connection. (So I have a work around)


Tidal technical people cannot figure it out.


The IFi Zen audio-the streamer technical people cite the M1 chip as a problem sometimes. I have had no other problems with the M1.


I have updated all software (Apple Ventura)/disconnected and reconnected everything in the path (3times)and consulted the streaming provider Tidal Connect (cleaned caches/removed accelerators/other) and hardware (IFI) provider (noted above).


I know there are many M1 experts here so I thought I would ask.


Any thoughts appreciated and I can answer any questions if I am unclear.


Thanks for anybody’s time here.


I Will try to include the error message as an attachment.



Thanks again.

Sleep is unnecessary for later Macs and should be disabled. Shut for long absences and overnights and use the settings shown here https://discussions.apple.com/thread/254541465  for regular use, should fix.
