This is a bad SD card, try another one.

So ProffieOS prints out a number or letter for every 64kb of data it reads. That number specifies how fast it could read those 64kB in terms of parallel audio streams. So a 1 means that it could read 86kB/s 2=172kB/s, 3=258kB/s, etc. It works sort of like hexadecimal numbers, so after 9 comes A (10), B (11) etc.

Your readout has a mix of D (13) and 4. D is ok, 4 is terrible. (basically, you don’t want values below 10)

If the serial monitor suddenly stops, that means that something on the sd card is taking a really really long time to read. (Or, maybe that you need to scroll down?)

Either way, the SD card is bad, get a new one.
