Re: [slim] How to avoid the 'click' when a track starts
My CD-player had no digital output, but my recently bought DVD-recorder (Sony RDR-HX750) has a digital coax output and can also play audio CD's. I burned my test track to an audio CD and played it on the DVD_recorder. The result was the same click-problem in combination with the blinking NOLOCK. I also tried original bought CD's and they gave the same problem. So the Primare processor must be the cause of the click-problem. There is unfortunately no option to force the input to PCM or Stereo mode and disabling auto-detection of surround sound formats.

Re: [slim] How to avoid the 'click' when a track starts
I use a Profigold s/pdif cable. Yesterday I have bought a profigold toslink cable (35 EUR) and the problems are the same with this cable. According to Seans suggestion I have modified a track via CoolEdit and changed some parts for 10 or 20 seconds silence. Some other parts I have changed the amplitude to 0%. Visually the results for silence and 0% amplitude are the same in CoolEdit Via the squeezebox in digital mode during the silence periods the input mode switches to blinking NOLOCK and gives the click at the first time NOLOCK appears. It stays blinking during the silence period and changes back to PCM (without a click) at the end of the silence period and the music is coming back again. The 0% amplitude parts gave no problems (no click), only the expected silence for these parts. -- bloemert bloemert's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=16528 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=45605 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] How to avoid the 'click' when a track starts
I have investigated via Cool-edit the wave-form of the flac's and the flac's seem perfect. Further on I discovered that - live-albums gave no problem - if track x ends quiet and track x+1 starts immediately with music/singing a hick-up takes place (repeat of the first second music with a small pauze inbetween). - The problem disappeared when I used the analogue output of the squeezebox or duet-receiver. (I have both a squeezebox and a duet) I have a Primare SPA-21 processor and I use the DAC of this processor via the digital input of the squeezebox/duet. In the main-menu of the SPA-21 a strange effect takes place during the click. Normally: Input-mode = PCM surround-mode = PARTY but during the click or hick-up: Input-mode = NOLOCK (short blinking) surround-mode = AUTO (short blinking) After a second these settings change immediately again to their original settings PCM and PARTY. If I change PARTY via the input-settings in 2-channel the problem still exists. It seems that the communication between the digital output of the squeezebox and the PRIMARE DAC is not correct. -- bloemert bloemert's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=16528 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=45605 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] How to avoid the 'click' when a track starts
I have tried the 2 digital SPDIF inputs on the PRIMARE processor. Their are also 2 digital optical TOSLink inputs, but I haven't tried these because I do not have such a cable. But do you expect that connecting to the TOSLink solves the problem ? If so, then I will immediately buy such a cable. -- bloemert bloemert's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=16528 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=45605 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] How to avoid the 'click' when a track starts
I run slimserver on windows-XP. I have changed the sound to none following the suggested advice, but the problem still exist. I found something related to my problem in: http://forum.inguzaudio.com/index.php?showtopic=3pid=138st=20#entry138 It stated that: The loud click at the start of the song is due to -wavo sending the WAV file header (a hundred bytes or so) and Squeezebox interpreting that as playable data... without -wavo, ony the raw data is sent. Unfortunately with only sending the raw data, Squeezebox doesn't have any way to tell the bit-depth, and assumes it's 16 even if you have InguzDSP output 24-bit data... hence the white-noise experience... But I have tried different settings in the convert.conf file, but without success. So if someone has another suggestion, it would be greatfull And who knows what are the possible settings and meanings of these settings in convert.conf -- bloemert bloemert's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=16528 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=45605 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
[slim] How to avoid the 'click' when a track starts
I have a classic squeezebox and a duet. I only play flac music files. A new track starts always with a short click and then after a split of a second the track starts. The problem exists on both squeezeboxes. After updating Squeezecenter 7 to version 7.0.1 the problem still exists. Does someone know how to solve this problem ? -- bloemert bloemert's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=16528 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=45605 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
