Can you try another dac or another output interface (spdif?) Do the errors in the log correspond with time of the dropouts? The problem here is that I would expect XRUN messages for every drop out and then tuning squeezelite may help, but its not clear that you are getting these? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Triode's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=97046 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
