Obviously, right off the bat, you won't be able to play files higher than 300K, so no FLAC or high-bitrate MP3s. Of course, you'll never get what your ISP rates, count on 200K. There's some overhead for the SB3 graphics and commands, 50K-80K - so you should be playing 128K or less. It's amazing that MP3 at 192K works, you must be right at the limit. > MP3 (192K) Works OK always... > OGG (160K) I have several drops of sound > FLAC (600-900K) Similar to OGG... Interesting that ogg at a lower bitrate than MP3 doesn't work, but the fact remains: you must transcode everything to MP3 with a connection like that. > I think that the problem is outside of my ISP. What makes you think that? It really looks like ISP congestion and/or daytime throttling is at play here. > Also if I use SoftSqueeze, I have similar problems...but these problems > dissapear if using SoftSqueeze with a VPN connected to my work VPN This could be because the VPN has its own buffer or VPN traffic is not subject to your ISP's throttling/bandwidth shaping. > 3) I am not sure, but I am thinking in a third solution...If I could > increase the buffer of my SB3...but I don't know how to do this... It's not possible. The buffer is fixed. Besides, even with a larger buffer, it appears your ISP simply can't keep up. Install LAME on the server. Go to Player Settings - Audio - Bitrate Limiting and set 192K to start because you indicate that works OK. Now go to Server Settings - File Types and uncheck Ogg Vorbis - Ogg Vorbis (built-in) and FLAC - FLAC (built-in). Check Ogg Vorbis - MP3 (sox/lame) and FLAC - MP3 (flac/lame). BTW is there a reason you have your server at work? It's really complicating things and limiting your usability and sound quality. -- Mark Lanctot 'Sean Adams' Response-O-Matic checklist, patent pending!'
