So nothing terribly fancy, hardware wise.
Yeah, I guess itÂ’s mainly a quality issue for me. Not the quality of SoftSqueeze, but of a PC sound card and PC speakers. I spend so much time in my office in front of a PC when the markets are open, I felt I had to have a small system in the office that was above the sound available from a soundcard and PC speakers. Speaking of computers, has anybody checked to see if it makes a difference if softSqueeze is running on the same PC as SC? Does running SC on a server and softSqueeze on another PC help or hurt the sync issue? Also when I have run softSqueeze on the office PC, I have seen some odd behavior. It locks up or crashes every time I play Acoustic Alchemy -The Colonel and the Ashes-. There are no issues with any of the Squeezeboxes playing this song. It also does this on one of Michael Hedges CDs. And now looking up both of the songs, they both happen to be track 6.
