Just bought my v3 Squeezebox and after 3 days of happiness, tonight I
had a weird thing happen.
Suddenly, in the midst of playing a music file from my iBook (host to
the slimserver software and to my iTunes music library), the sound
output became subject to severe clipping distortion. A bit like what
happens when the batteries run out on your guitar effeects box.
I got the same distortion accessing internet radio over squeezenetwork
(ie keeping the iBook out of the loop). And the remote control volume
control for the squeezebox had no effect at all on the sound (either
loudness or distortion) although the thermometer display showed it
attenuating as usual.
Putting the unit in and out of standby didn't help. In the end I had to
disconnect and reconnect the power supply to the squeezebox and that
fixed it.
I might tolerate this sort of reboot glitch in, say, a modem. But not
is something which has to work in my hifi. Apart from anything else it
could munge the tweeters on my Meridian active speakers. I've emailed
slim tech support in preparation for posting the unit back to the
retailer but as they've all gone home now I thought I'd just check to
see if anyone else had had this problem. I did a search on the forum
and it appears not, but let's see. Anyone suffered this one?
