I have a wired SB1 in the FR that I purchased in Dec 2004, so about 1.5 yrs old. The SB1 is having some problems.
1) It randomly stops playing, drops out or pauses if you will. Then 20-30 seconds later will kick back on. 2) At times, the audio is sounding very 'ceramic' (best word for it) or tinny and distorts randomly, using both analog and digital outputs. Keep in mind this is a wired SB1 that is connected directly to my network. Songs (320 cbr Lame MP3s) are stored on a W2003 server, Celeron 2.4 with 1.25 RAM running Raid5. I also have a wired SB2 in the HT that has no problems Today I swithced them and put the SB1 in the HT, SB2 in the FR. SB2 plays fine in the FR, SB1 gives me the same random audio pauses. This tells me that it's the SB1. Considering the swap, I have effectively changed the network path, all wiring and the Pre/pro, etc. What gives here. I have been using this SB1 quite successfully for about 1.5 years and now it's flaking out with no other changes to my system/server. The only thing changing is my MP3 collection is growing, now nearing 15K songs. This symptom has me ready to toss the SB1 as it's not worth listening to with the constant random pauses and distorted output. I realize the SB1 has less memory and a lesser DAC, but it's worked fine for over a year and just now has recently shows these problems. An ideas what may be cuasing these problems, or if these is a fix. I have rebooted and also just recently installed 6.3 on the server. -- rmassey ------------------------------------------------------------------------ rmassey's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1495 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=25724 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
