Hi, I've recently purchased a Squeezebox 3 and I'm quite happy with it except for one major problem.
m4a files (originally ripped from CD with iTunes) stutter and break up and are generally unlistenable. I've installed LAME and it's showing up as 'The LAME encoder appears to be installed correctly on your system.' under Player Settings/Audio. I've set my WLAN channel to 13 (I'm in Ireland) to differentiate it from the other APs in my area (as shown by NetStumbler) - this should minimize interference. Under Player Settings, I'm getting 'Wireless Signal Strength' of 90+ percent. Under Server & Network Health, I'm getting good figures except for 'Buffer Fullness' which shows 'Low' (both playing mp3 and m4a). My wireless router, laptop and Squeezebox are all in the same room. My setup is... Dell Latitude D810 with Intel PRO Wireless 2915ABG wireless NIC. Netopia 3347NWG Router. SlimServer 6.3.1 (My music is in an 'iTunes' directory structure which is stored on a FreeCom 160GB external USB2 drive - though I don't think this should have any bearing). RealPlayer/QuickTime is installed and working - RealPlayer & iTunes both play back m4a files perfectly. I've trawled the forums and applied everything I could glean from same (see above!). I'm asuming it's a network/bandwidth problem but I'm loath to wire up the Squeezebox, as the whole point in buying was it's wireless connectivity. Any help would be extremely appreciated as this is tarnishing my view of a product I so want to like (it's also cracking me up!). Thanks in advance for any help... -- MikeWynneDub ------------------------------------------------------------------------ MikeWynneDub's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7230 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=27037 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
