Seems amazing that 10 years later this hardware is still "current"!

IIRC sync depends on an accurate clock on the audio hardware and many PCs don't have good audio hardware but also sometime Windows can do a lot of s/w processing (e.g. resample 44.1kHZ to 48 Khz) . On Windows there are a few different audio API and perhaps one may be better for your setup.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] SqueezeLite - pops and crackles when syncing with SB3s
One more SB3 is never a bad choice I would say. But given the environment you describe and the asking price for an SB these days, I would take a 2nd hand/refurbished Airport Express (2012-current model) and put that near the PC. You would get line out for the PC (digital or analog) and a boost to your wifi signal as a bonus. (You can disable wifi but then connectivity is limited to a 2-port 10/100 switch.) Here in FR the refurb store is depleted but months ago I got many of these, brand new in neutral packaging, for 79 after VAT. That's 62.95£, Google says. I would recommend you head over the Airplay bridge plugin thread if you have the slightest hesitation. (by "about perfect sync", I meant I can, from time to time, hear a L-R shift between sources when an airplay speaker is located less than 10 feet from a source driven by a synced SB3. If the distance is above 10ft, and surely at 15 ft. I can't hear this shift anymore. It is extremely accurate, very satisfying to listen to.) 4 SB 3 Libratone Zipp Mini iPeng (iPhone + iPad) Squeezebox Server 7.9 (linux) with plugins: CD Player, WaveInput, Triode's BBC iPlayer by bpa IRBlaster by Gwendesign (Felix) Server Power Control by Gordon Harris Smart Mix, Music Walk With Me, What Was That Tune? by Michael Herger PowerSave by Jason Holtzapple Song Info, Song Lyrics by Erland Isaksson AirPlay Bridge by philippe_44 WeatherTime by Martin Rehfeld Auto Dim Display, SaverSwitcher, ContextMenu by Peter Watkins. epoch1970's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=16711 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=105486 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

Thanks ... If I am going to buy hardware then presumably I'd be better off getting another SB3 and plugging it into the LineIn on my PC?

Well if you have AirPlay devices (not the shairplay software stuff but hardware devices) you could sync an SB3 about perfectly, using the AirPlay Bridge plugin. Or you can let the SB3 drift (settings>your SB3>Synchronize menu) but I have to say I never tried the options to not maintain sync, or pushed the minimum sync adjustment to a higher value. 4 SB 3 Libratone Zipp Mini iPeng (iPhone + iPad) Squeezebox Server 7.9 (linux) with plugins: CD Player, WaveInput, Triode's BBC iPlayer by bpa IRBlaster by Gwendesign (Felix) Server Power Control by Gordon Harris Smart Mix, Music Walk With Me, What Was That Tune? by Michael Herger PowerSave by Jason Holtzapple Song Info, Song Lyrics by Erland Isaksson AirPlay Bridge by philippe_44 WeatherTime by Martin Rehfeld Auto Dim Display, SaverSwitcher, ContextMenu by Peter Watkins. epoch1970's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=16711 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=105486 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
[SlimDevices: Plugins] SqueezeLite - pops and crackles when syncing with SB3s
I have two SB3s and SqueezeLite running on a Windows 10 desktop, all wired in. The syncing of SqueezeLite is usually out by a very noticeable split second. But more annoying is that the SqueezeLite causes crackles and pops in the SB3s, about once a minute. Presumably these occur as they all re-sync, but it only happens when SqueezeLite is sync'd. Is there a way around this, either by changing the configuration, or by using a different software player on my PC? Configuration: Windows 10 64bit, recently installed on a 2yr old desktop 2 x SB3s, all wired LMS 7.7.5 rbl's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4517 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=105486 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
