Agreed. However, it is important to know that such settings can (but may not) make matters worse, and if at all possible one should use a setting that includes autonegotiation. I believe (but can't prove) that on systems where there is no separate option, autonegotiation is included all the time. What is still very puzzling is why some systems have problems with wavin using flac transmission, but not playing other flacs. This is true for rrand as well me. (I managed to get myself into an additional but separate set of problems by sending flacs from my library in PCM format.) Could the wavin problem be related to some form of duplex handling issue - receiving over the internet and sending out to the Boom/Touch/whatever at the same time? rrand - what is your music source when using wavin? -- PasTim ------------------------------------------------------------------------ PasTim's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=41642 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=35718 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
