So let me make sure I understand - this chime extender thing is a microphone that sits by the doorbell and listens for the doorbell chime, and when it hears it sends a signal to the remote unit (which makes a sound). You're saying if your music is playing certain notes loudly enough, the chime extender thinks it's heard the doorbell and goes off. Is that right? Now, the interesting part is that you say the difference between analogue muted and un-muted is so big the extender triggers in one case and not in the other. But that means a really big difference, not subtle at all - this doorbell extender is certainly a cheap microphone, possibly in another room (?) from the speakers - if it can consistently tell the difference I think SB has got a problem! I suppose one hypothesis would be that the analogue un-muted introduces lots of correlated jitter - so much that it amplifies those high notes and triggers the doorbell. Can you tell us approximately how many dB of volume increase you need to set off the doorbell even with the analogue volume muted? Unfortunately I no longer have an external DAC, so I can't test this. One check would be to record a sweep through a good measurement microphone with analogue muted versus unmuted and look for differences. -- opaqueice ------------------------------------------------------------------------ opaqueice's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4234 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=26332 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
