I have been discussingmy dropout problems in the Audiophile forum, but I
think this is better here, aince I may have noe new info.
I am running a wireless SB2 on a Mac system with an Airport Exreme. I
have been plagued by dropouts, and have gone through many many
suggestions, but to no avail. This onlyhappens with ripped CDS (Apple
Lossless, AIFF, AAC-all the same). Internet radio works like a charm.
Well I finally set it up to continuously monitor the bufer while it is
playing. I found that sometimes in mid-song the buffer gradually drops
to 0% over a short time, and that's when the continous dropouts happen-
and the buffer stays at 0% during this time. The signal strength has
not changed when this happens, or when the buffer stays at 0%, and the
wireless network is working otherwise during this time.
What might account for this, and how do I fix it??
Probably accounted for by something taking all the CPU for a while.
I'm told that some widgets do that (if you are using Tiger). More
worryingly, some useful processes (maybe even perl) can do it. And
refreshing the Web browser (particularly if pointed at the SlimServer
page) can have that effect.
But none of this really explains why this only happens on CDs.
