Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] New server - quieter streams?
Thanks all, I'm still not sure on the root cause, I suspect it's to do with the Normalisation settings as mentioned. However, I've found a solution... On pulling the unit apart to check hardware connections I realised I'd used a much better quality amp than I'd remembered, and that it should have plenty of power. Turns out I had completely forgotten that I'd compensated for this by using the 10 band EQ setting in that PiCorePlayer to limit the max volume to a safe level for a 7 year olds ears (I went with below 89db). I've just tweaked those EQ levels back up to adjust for the drop in sound volume and it's all good again :) Thanks all. s2kiwi's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=63950 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=110740 ___ Squeezecenter mailing list Squeezecenter@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter
Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] New server - quieter streams?
Is it possible that you have different volume normalisation settings on the new server?

Remember that unless you copied the LMS prefs from the Windows box across to the Vortexbox then all of the individual player settings would have gone back to default. AFAIK there is no overall amplification option at server level. The 1&0s get sent to the player along with an instruction to amplify them when decoded based on the settings in the Player prefs.
