I tried to reproduce this (to update the bug report), but could not. I set the alarm to a radio stream, then to one of the sound effects. In both scenarios I capped the internet connection, the alarm popup came and within 10 seconds the backup alarm (this time a beeping fading in, instead of the full volume 'funky' sound). So this might be more subtle and more difficult to reproduce and is some special MySB.com problem. > Are you saying that alarms on this thing don't work if you choose as an > alarm something other than a local music file? The alarm doesn't work reliable if the server it is connected to isn't reliable. The radio can either be connected to your own server (a) or MySB.com (b). (a) should be the most reliable (if you don't start things like powering down the server to save energy). Indeed I'm running my own server and wake up to an internet radio station. As tcutting wrote it might be still unreliable to use an 'effect' sound as it comes from MySB.com. (b) currently isn't reliable. In europe their servers didn't scale with the units sold. They claim that the problem is solved now. Furthermore there still is rumour, that when your provider changes your internet IPs overnight, MySB.com connections get lost. -- bluegaspode 1x SB-Controller+Receiver (Duet), 1xSB-Boom. 1xSB-Radio Server (7.4.1) running on SheevaPlug (Ubuntu) with attached Western Digital MyBook Essential.
