Looks like this is happening on more than just SC updates. Every time

Still, this is a dangerous bug, since people's equipment could be

Given the new firmware behavior (fixed output = 100% volume on analog
and digital outs), how would you have handled the situation? For the
volume, I see two options:
1) after the upgrade, units
Just an FYI: I just updated to the latest SC version 7.1 (as instructed
by SC) and I had the exact OPPOSITE effect. The FW Update disabled my
fixed volume setting. Much safer issue to have I suppose. :)
I had set fixed volume from day one (SB3 over a year old, from SS6.4
days)

Obviously I'm not Sean, but what he's saying is that you should ALWAYS
have either a conventional preamp (with some form of active or passive
volume control in it, that is NOT turned up to 10/10) or signal
attenuators (resistors) between SB style devices whose level
controls are implemented

Yeah, makes sense. And any easy and safe fix to simply re-enable it.

Sean,
i'm not a true audiophile so can you please explain this?
are you saying there should be a pre-amp between the SB and the amp?
is that what you mean?
Correct, because turning down the volume before the DAC lowers the SNR,
whereas passive analog

With all due respect, Sean, that is probably the last place to look for

1. A knowledge base article or readme is going to do nothing in the
situation where, as in this case, one's significant other triggers the
firmware update as requested by the device. The issue is that there is
no messaging telling the user to update the client software beforehand.

You might want to pull the latest firmware update... I updated my
Squeezebox v2 and now the volume is stuck at full. This is a very bad
problem because I am hooked up directly to an amplifier. I'm lucky I
didn't blow my speakers.
How do I roll back to the previous one on the squeezebox?

Issue:
If the firmware is updated on the device (Squeezebox 2) before the
SqueezeCenter is updated, the volume can get stuck on full, regardless
of setting.
Resolution:
Update the SqueezeCenter software, connect to the SqueezeCenter on the
device, then re-run the firmware update by holding
18 matches
