I have a duet and boom in the house and the boom works 100% fine but the duet is suffering from re-buffering problems that are confounding me. In most cases the Duet and Boom are tuned to a BBC Radio 4 stream (the same config) and the Boom never chokes but the Duet does periodically and by periodically I mean it can go long periods without any issue but when it hits a "trouble period" it tends to re-buffer frequently (as much as once per minute or so). Let me tell you what I know/think:
- WiFi signal strength to both Boom and Duet are pretty strong although Duet is slightly stronger (so I don't think it's WIFI signal-to-noise ratio) - To optimise WiFi I did scan for neighbourhood interference and did change channels to optimise. Again, don't think it's the WiFi signal to the wireless base station where the problem is happening. - I saw somewhere in this forum that you could turn on a display to show buffering information. Turns out that's only on the Boom (which has a display) not the duet. The display is a bit confusing and so far it hasn't helped me ... I can get more specific but for now I'm assuming this is more of a distraction - Today there was a "bad patch" where the re-buffering problem was happening so I switched the radio to play some local iTunes music and the problems disappeared. I tuned back to BBC Radio 4 and the problem returned. During this same time the Boom was tuned to BBC Radio 4 the whole time and never had a problem. - The Boom and Radio are getting their signal from different WiFi routers but are on the same network (e.g., 192.168.1.x) and all other devices behave exactly the same running off both routers. For my sanity (and my wife's) could someone help us figure out how to troubleshoot this further? Ken p.s. does anyone know if the Duet has a smaller internal buffer than the Boom? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [email protected]'s Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=37195 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=97350 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
