I don't know to interpret this, but I have found that I can get fairly repeatable crackly results on my Vortexbox by stopping squeezelite, starting it, and then playing tracks.
Ignoring occasional glitches on starting playing, I get crackle after 7 to 11 minutes, for about 1 minute, which then stops and re-occurs later. This is true with CD quality, 24/96, FLAC instead of PCM from LMS, using plughw:... instead of hw:..., and most other variations I have had time to check. If I start squeezelite and play nothing for 4 minutes, then play a track, sure enough after another approximately 8 minutes it usually crackles. I haven't repeated this enough times to make sure it's a reliable measurement, but I will do some more runs. These results aren't entirely consistent. but around 85-90% of the time seem to hold true. I even tried various types of music (piano, choral, pop etc) to see if the difference balance of sound to silence made a measurable difference, but it doesn't seem to. There is nothing on the debug log. I have repeated some of the tests on my other system and still get no crackle at all, so the DAC really is OK. So what does it all mean? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 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
