Wondered if you may be able to help me understand the lights on my router, and the buffer size thing.
I have a wireless router wired to the LMS pc in the consevatory and it talks over the air to another wirelss router in the lounge to which the SBT is wired. On TT2 think I had the buffer down to about 5.5k knowing I have drop outs I was lowering the buffer size slowly bit at a time... The arial light and the socket 3 into which the SBT is wired used to flash in a right panic for a short while and then take a breather for a while then go in to hyper mad flash mode again for a short while then have another rest. I knew if the hyper flash panic was after a longer than usual breather there would be a drop out... Now with TT3 the buffer is set at default I think 3400, the lights flash in not such a mad panic but seem to flash for a lot longer and only have a split second or two rest before the stream of flashes continues. Would I be right in thinking with a smaller buffer information has to flow more constantly to keep the music flowing, rather than with a big buffer a heafty load of info is dropped music plays using the info up, while lights pause, and then when it runs low, another heafty load is dropped? Also if you don 't mind what is the difference : Soundcheck Quote (from install instructions): With this modification you will resize the Alsa buffer. It's the buffer from the Linux soundlayer to your device and NOT the streaming buffer on the ethernet receiver. Would some one be kind enough to explain in simple terms what the difference is, and we are altering the Alsa buffer, are we not? Many thanks for you time ;-) Cheers DC -- Deaf Cat ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Deaf Cat's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=515 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=91322 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
