This sounds like there is a configuration problem. Icecast by itself
does not send a 401 without a negative reply from the server (or a
backend failure).

Maybe you can share your <mount> block (with passwords removed (if any))
with us?

Please also check your error.log for any problems. Related lines should
include "auth" somewhere in them.

With best regards,
