This is a repeat of a question that was asked previously by dsdreamer
back in 2009:
The thread is 65757 (sorry, first post so cannot post a link to thread)
and dsdreamer asks:
Simple question: what do the two numbers on the SB3 buffer fullness

I thought I wrote a wiki page on this, I can't find it though.
SB has 2 buffers: a 3MB decoder buffer that contains the raw data from
the network (e.g. MP3 data), and a PCM buffer that holds 10 seconds of
decoded PCM audio which is then sent to the DAC. The first number is
how much data is in
Thank you very much for the speedy (and helpful) reply.

I have been having similar problems since moving to SC7 with stuttering
on my wireless SB2 SB3. Never a problem on the ethernet linked
device.
Someone suggested turning off the LastFM plugin which has helped a lot.
It gone from being entirely usable to being about 85% reliable. It
does
I took the plunge and bought some Homeplugs and a Netgear switch today,
mainly because along with the problems with the SB, the wireless
adaptor on my PC was pretty flaky too (for a different reason though -
it would randomly disconnect from the router and require a reboot to
reconnect it).
So
I had exatly the same stuttering problem.
I ran netstumbler and switched to a different wireless chanel and that
fixed it.

I did try a few different channels but none of them worked consistently
for me unfortunately.

So the latest update, not good news... It seems that the SB3 also does
a bit of stuttering when playing FLACs which leads me to believe it's a
wireless problem.
I'm thinking of ordering some Homeplugs to set up a wired link to my
router. But thinking about it, the SB is right next to the PC -

Hi,
Problems with my new Receiver...
Setup:
Squeezecenter 7.0.1 installed on Vista Home Premium
Squeezebox Receiver (switched on permanently)
Files: FLAC and MP3
Router: Speedtouch 716 - everything connected wirelessly
I get stuttering playback when playing FLACs or MP3s - the problem's
most
When you eventually plugged the receiver back in (after the test with
the older sb), how long did it take for the stuttering to come back?
That would have been with a fresh buffer as, I believe, turning it off
via controller or squeezecenter does not turn it *completely* off.
I used to have an
Ideally run an network test on the SBR to find the data throughput but
I think you need 7.1 as the network test is not an option on the SBC
with 7.0.x (I think it is under Settings/Advanced on the SBC).

Did a WiFi scan and the ap I found use channel 6. My ap use channel 11.
The strange thing is that it could work for hours and suddenly 3-4
songs are choppy and then everything works again.
No one is using wireless phones, bluetooth or the microwave at the time
it happens.

There is a known issue with flac files compressed at more than -5 from
what I remember.
The actual CPU in the SB3 struggles to decode the flac fast enough to
keep the playback buffer full.
It looks and seems like a network issue that's cuasing a buffer
underrun, but you'll notice that the

Strange, I've seen this behaviour myself (although it was with surround
track, so there was a lot of data to decompress) but I'm pretty sure
this has been mentioned a number of times in other threads.
Maybe I'm getting confused with the issue of files encoded with an old
ogg library.

I have heard this in relation to the Flake FLAC 3rd-party encoder at
-9 or -10 compression.
I've experienced this myself with 24/96 FLACs with ReplayGain and the
spectrum analyzer screensaver on the Transporter (bug 4463) but not
16/44.1 FLAC at -8.

Hi,
any chance you have a periodic rescan of music library set up? Or some
other task that hogs your music server from time to time?

The sound stage will open up, bass will tighten and the imaging will
improve. DVD performance will also increase substantially.
If it is the wireless network should'nt the Signal strenght drop more
than it does?
I did'nt had this problem from the beginning. It has increased over
time.
The only thing that have changed is that a few more of my neighbours
had set up wireless network.
Maybe it's a channel thing after all?
The signal strength is a pretty crude measurement, there's plenty of
scope for interference even if the strength is being reported as high.

Hi!
Sometimes the playback is choppy for about 3-4 songs.
This is how the Performance monitor look at the time it happens.

My guess is that your wireless link is experiencing interference which
is limiting the bandwidth available (FLAC requires a lot more capacity
to stream than something like mp3). To prove (or disprove) this theory
try hooking the SB up with a cable rather than wireless for a while and
see if you
Berndt,you could try another changing your network channel as the band
can get a bit busy with all these wireless networks around.you can use
a network sniffer to find a clear spot.
i notice when my microwave oven is on the signal stutters a bit, but my
normal sig strength is around 85%
A new problem started this morning. I'm seeing audio dropouts caused by
low buffer fullness. This corrects itself after a few minutes, but the
problem then returns repeatedly. Fullness drops to 0 or close to 0 and
stutters start. After a while, fullness goes back up to 100%, except at
the end of
