I've just installed the BBC applet on the touch, which plays live but
not recorded BBC content. This also does not play through the DAC.

The BBc iPlayer plugin is a 3rd party plugin that has to be installed by
the user in LMS.

There is a 3rd Party BBC iplayer Applet which can be installed on the
Touch and does not need a LMS.  This needs to be installed by the user
from Touch Applet Installer or App Gallery/3rd Party Apps.

There is a Logitech BBC Radio App which only provides live BBC Radio
(which happen to be WMA) - this has to be installed by the user from the
Touch App Gallery.

All of these options requires the user to "install" something.

BBC iplayer just comes up by itself. I don't recall setting up any
plug-ins. Will have a look later when I get home.

If you are using the BBCiPlayer plugin then got to the iPlayer Setting
page WebUI Settings/Plugins/BBc iPlayer Settings and then change "Live
stream Preference" to WMA and click Apply.

ok I had a look at this.
My DAC does 32, 44.1 and 48kHz. It selects these automatically depending
on the incoming signal. I tried using maximum volume but BBC live
wouldn't play.

How do I choose WMA for live stream?

If you are not in tthe UK and using AAC streams - then BBC have recently
changed live http/AAC streams from 48kbps/44.1kHz to 56kbps/32kHz. 
There was a choice for a while but it now seems to have gone.

I think the WMA streams are still 48kbps/44.1kHz.

If I remember correctly it is 44.1 and 48. I'll check when I get home
whether it automatically detects the frequency or if I have to manually
select 48kHz. I've only used it with CDs at 44.1kHz.
Will also try the volume setting.

What sampling frequencies does it accept ? the wadia 12 .

Radio is very often 48kHz but in some cases also 32kHz .

it can also be a word length problem for the old DAC keep the squeezebox
volume at 100% and try again

[SlimDevices: Touch] BBC live does not work through DAC

2012-08-07 Thread dood

I can access internet radio on my SBT as expected. When I go to BBC
iplayer, it plays the recorded programs on the various channels but does
not play the live broadcast.
After assessing variables I discovered that this only happens when the
SBT is connected to my external DAC (an old Wadia12). When I connect the
SBT to my amp via analogue outputs, the BBC live plays fine.

Has anyone else encountered this issue? I suspect it is because my DAC
is several years old, but it would be interesting to see if it happens
on newer DACs, and what the explanation is for this behaviour.
