On the Vortexbox I get no such errors diagnostics. The sound is fine for several minutes, then crackle, dropout, and then fine again. I fully understand that the authors of a bit of software can't possibly solve all problems, there are far too many variables involved, but there must be some form of methodical approach one can take, isn't there? For what it's worth my brief google on diagnostics from my other (ubuntu) system, as suggested, has not yet helped. I'll keep looking. I'm aware this seems a bit too much like a moan against the author, Triode. That isn't my intention at all. It's just that one sits down to some serious listening and all of a sudden the sound breaks up for no apparent reason, and there seems no way to find out why, which is most frustrating. But there must be a a way, isn't there? I am also keenly aware that my IT background is mostly not real-time (except for a dalliance with real-time systems analysing experimental data on a Honeywell DDP 516 many years ago) but such unpredictability seems strange in the modern world. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ PasTim's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=41642 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=97046 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
