Depends on the cause, if there is any real problem. If the SqueezeBox got totally confused, and did something really weird like swapping the internal representation of the audio bytes, than the signal would be very loud (the lowest bit usually varies the most and would be the highest) and random sounding. Nothing done on the server could help. Even professional studio gear is not aimed at chopping 30 dB out of a signal, limiters and compressors usually just wack off the top few dB of signal. Taking more than 6 dB out of a signal usually removes all the music. Only pop stations do that. -- Pat http://www.pfarrell.com/music/slimserver/slimsoftware.html _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
