Almost all the time (but not every single time) I get a very loud burst of white noise on startup. This is when the player is brought out of standby to a playing state.
I suspect it's the same maximum-volume white noise discussed here: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=19309 These bursts are short, less than 1/4 of a second, but they really make you jump - it's like a gunshot. At first I thought it was only MP3s, then only SqueezeNetwork, but it is FLACs also. It's not every startup, more like 75% of startups. I put in a 0.25 second delay in audio start-up time, thinking it was my receiver's DACs, but there was no change. Perhaps I should set it to 0.5 seconds. Setup details: SB2, SB3 (both players exhibit the problem) SlimServer 6.2.2, 01-03-06 nightly build Windows XP SP2 Marantz 8400 receiver connected via optical It's not a terribly important issue to me but if it's related to the much-more serious bug referenced above I'm wondering if my experience will help developers track down the bug. My minor issue is much more reproducible than the more serious one, but not 100% reproducible. It doesn't seem totally related to that bug but I'm guessing the same failure that's happening with this bug is happening to me on startup only. Does anyone else notice this? Would adding my experience to that bug help things, or is it unrelated? -- ___________________________________ Mark Lanctot ___________________________________ __________________________________________________________ Find your next car at http://autos.yahoo.ca _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
