Hi Greg, The sound quality when using the Pi is audibly inferior to a standard Squeezebox, even through cheap PC speakers and that is when only running the Squeezeslave software (I think also I tried Squeezelite some time ago). I did a little searching at the time and I believe it is considerably improved when using the specific USB audio cards, but this was a while back, so I suggest you do a bit of digging. When running 'motion' this resulted in a background click every second and additional white noise and the playback speed seemed marginally slower than it should have been. When I first started considering running the Pi as a Squeezebox I soon discounted the idea once I realised I needed to invest more money for basic sound quality, I simply bought another SB3 on ebay for very little. I also tried running the Pi as a Squeezeserver and it was painfully slow, unfortunately. I hope that helps, Cheers, Foggy ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Foggy's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1668 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=104334 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
