Hi. Is anyone using local audio on a Blade 100 with 4.6?
I'm trying, and find I've what I'll call over-amped output, even when the volume is set (far) downwards. The distortion is quite bad even at low volume levels. I've tried a few 320k constant bit rate MP3's, and two variable bit rate MP3's, whose bit rate do not exceed 64, TTBOMK. I've tried this on two Blade 100's and found similar if not identical results. I have of course set volume and seemingly obvious mixer settings downward without joy. My next step is to try Solaris and see if the sound hardware subsystems in the two systems are damaged in some way. The 'play' is from a local file, the goal is both local file and streamed audio via TCP with output to local analog audio for handling externally. I've used mpg123 and mpg321 with input files generated by iTunes (Mac (Intel)) and streamripper (Ubuntu (Linux (Intel)). I am not running X. (Still working on my 'sili' solution to a storage problem, will summarize back shortly if no new data is rx'd. Short version thus far is "no". *sob*) Thanks.
