Usually these problems are more of a hum or buzz. I have a receiver hooked to an old analog integrated amp in my garage that occasionally starts to buzz, then with a "snap" sound it stops. I have yet to find out why, as it happens so infrequently. I think my circa 70's amplifier has a ground issue somewhere, maybe it changes with heat, who knows. The SB power supplies are all switching, so they are electromagnetically noisy as well. fingers crossed that your mystery resolved itself :), but if it does reappear, and you can recreate it, swap things out, even the outlet it's plugged into, items nearby that might be radiating EMI, the touch power supply, the amplifier you are using, try the analog instead of digital out, stream internet, local media, etc. Just keep swapping until you can eliminate some of the possible causes.

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] SB Touch and Internet Radio
I took it to the office this morning and all was fine for about 2 hours before the dreaded rushing noise again, from both the amplifier connected to the Touch as well as the Touch's built-in speaker. Again the only way to kill this was to unplug the unit from the power source. I then tried to "refresh the wifi network" (or whatever it was called) and this resulted in no wifi connection at all. Drastic measures were called for: I first tried a factory restore using the advanced settings menu, this solved nothing. I finally tried a hard factory restore (holding the button at the back of the unit above the DC connector in while restoring power) and happy days - the wifi now worked after re-entering my password. The Touch played happily with no problem after this at the office and ditto at home - no more buzzing. There was one minor glitch where the Touch rebooted itself stating there was a system error, would I like to send it to Logitech for evaluation - which I did. But still working nicely after it rebooted itself. I am pondering whether the 'rushing' sound was not possibly caused by data getting into the audio stream? Imagine the sound when standing in, around or under a waterfall - this is what it was doing. Still keeping fingers crossed but at the same time feeling far more confident that the problem has been solved. :) -Eric ews2k's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=69845 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=111647 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch

This is an old document, and things might have changed, but page 12 runs you through the steps: https://www.logitech.com/assets/33606/squeezebox-touch-fg.pdf I set a touch up for a friend like this this past summer, after struggling with an duet/LMS solution on his unstable network/isp (combined with the fact he is not technical and quick to frustrate, I digress...). This might at least tell you if you are dealing with the player or the network.
