And Spotify works ok (no audio interrupts) when streamed through your computer speakers? That is, when DSbridge+SBS is not running? If Spotify is ok, then one thing you could try is to give priority to background tasks. This you do on XP (IIRC) in Control Panel > System > Performance > Advanced, and on Win 7 Control Panel > System > Advanced System Settings > Performance > Settings > ADvanced. Are you on a laptop? Maybe disabling the ACPI (battery controller) could help. This you do in the Device Manager. BTW, IIUC, the 320 kbps is what DSBridge on-the-fly-converts to and sends to your SBS. If you have the free Spotify, you "only" get you something like 168 kbps, I think. So, even though SBS reports 320 kbps, this is a 168 kbps stream converted to wav and then to a 320 kbps stream, thus it can never have higher quality then 168 kbps (but I think that's acceptable). -- OppfinnarJocke // OppfinnarJocke SqueezeBox Duet, Controller FW 7.4.1 r7915, Player FW 65 I mainly use my Duet for internet radio via MySqueezeBox.com but also Spotify via chp's DSBridge (http://tinyurl.com/DSBridge) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ OppfinnarJocke's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=22307 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=64590 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
