I just used an 100 Ohm resistor to couple my ground to earth in my power amplifiers. This should be enough for static. I also added a 100nf capacitor in parallel. Works like a charm and all humming is gone. -- Wombat

Finally after hunting this thing around here in germany for some weeks it was delivered. Something is wrong or i am only to dump to set it up? Here is the humming it produces. Fresh out of the box recorded via my soundcard. Is it D.O.A.? -- Wombat

idea would be to build a subgroup into Logitech itself like Logitech Quintessential Line that clearly stands next to Logitech and centralize the art of doing things better and may of cause integrate the mastermind companys they have eaten. -- Wombat

Never had this in 6.31. When i browse albums and enter one album it shows the first track. I press play on this and the rest followes. What´s wrong with this? May this be related to Dark view in the server GUI? Now back to Standard and it works. -- Wombat
