This is my current setup:

Dell tower, Pentium 4 @ 3.06ghz, 2GB RAM.

Squeezebox Server Version: 7.6.1 (Yes, I know it's a couple of versions
behind, but I wanted to try and fix the issue that I'm about to describe
before upgrading)

Kitchen: Boom - wireless
Lounge:  SB3 classic - ethernet via 100MB switch
Bedroom: SB3 classic - ethernet via 100MB switch

I did have issues a while back, and the suggestion was that it was
likely wireless related.  So whilst I was making other improvements to
the house, I also put ethernet cabling in to eliminate any possible
wireless issues.

The issue that I'm having is that anything I play skips or drops out
fairly regularly.  And when I say reguarly, I'm talking a couple of
times every 10 minutes.  It's likely to be a tiny skip or complete
silence for a few seconds.

The skips can occur when listening to BBC radio streams, DI.FM streams,
RadioIO streams or locally hosted MP3 files.  I'm using the local SB
server, not via the MySB.com service.

So cut a reasonaly long story short, I've worked out that the issue is
related to syncronisation of the players.

As far as I can tell, when not syncing at all, all of the players work
as expected without skips.  I can set each player up to play the same
stream individually and the skips do not occur.  I can play different
streams to each player, again, without issue.

Only once I link a player to another player do the skips occur.

I have to admit that when I had issues a while back, I will have changed
the sync settings.

So, my first request is for someone to list each sync setting, with the
default values.  I'd like to try these settings default setting before I
do any more damage.

Secondly, if possible, I'd like any recommendations for each sync
setting based upon the setup listed above.  Please shout up if there are
any details that I've missed that may influence the information that you
give.

Thank you for your time in getting this far :)
