I'm running SlimServer 6.5.4, so things might be different for me, but I have no problem playing back DTS files with ReplayGain enabled (with the "smart" setting, which I believe uses "track" or "album" based on the current track's relation to the rest of the playlist). None of my DTS files have ReplayGain information embedded in them, so there's nothing for SlimServer to do -- I would have thought that it wouldn't adjust the audio at all if there were no RG tags. Some simple things to check (which you may have already tried): 1. Check that there are no ReplayGain values set for your DTS files. I use foobar2000: I can ask for a track's properties and, on the "Properties" tab (as opposed to "Metadata") I can see RG values. fb2k can clear RG values too. 2. Check that the Digital Volume Control setting is "fixed" (or similar; I don't remember the exact setting name and it may have changed for SC). 3. Check that there's no bitrate limiting enabled. If you can play DTS back with RG disabled, I imagine the last two are okay, but check anyway. Perhaps things have changed between SS 6.5.4 and SS 7, but I can't see why the server would apply RG with no RG tags set. -- smst ------------------------------------------------------------------------ smst's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=752 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=44457 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
