Hi. I have a very strange problem with my SqueezeBox3 and SqueezeCenter 7.2.
My setup: The SB3 is connector to my wireless network (signal strength: 85%). The SC server is wired and runs on a newly out of the box Asus Eee Box B202 (Intel Atom 1.6GHz and 1GB ram, XP Home), which should be well powered to run SqueezeCenter. The music (in Flac) is stored on a Synology DS107+ NAS. My problem: When first booting the server and starting SC everything seems to work normal. There are no delays while browsing the menus and change brightness on the SB3. But after a while browsing, the menus are very slow, and sometimes nothing happens. Pressing the brightness might in some cases change the brightness and if anything happens it is delayed for maybe 5-10 sec. it feels mostly like the remote has run out of battery. My observations: To monitor the Asus Eee Box power consumption I have connected a power meter to the mains. When the SB3 is running perfect the power meter shows about 13.5W, and the CPU load is 0-1%. But after a while the power drops to about 11.5W and now the SB3 response are useless. In this state the music can still be streamed, but changing track or brightness is a none existing feature. What I find a bit funny is that the SB3 reverts to normal response if I on the server starts streaming a movie or even runs a simple VB script only containing a Do..Loop. This will raise the power to about 15W, but when stopping the streamed video the power drops to 13.5W and the system is still usable. Exactly (or around) 405 sec after stopping the video stream, the power again drops to 11.5W and the SB3 response are useless. I have measured the 405 secs many times to be sure and it never fails, something happens, but what and where?? It seems like there is strong connection between the power consumption and the SB3 response, but I cant figure out what it can be!! Why cant the SC run under these "conditions" like all other normal programs?? Internet Explorer and other programs doesnt seems to be affected. Can someone please help me, before Im going totally crazy???
