The volume on the SB3 does not make any difference on noise level of the high-pitched whine, the level on the amp does, however. Is keeping the volume on the SB3 at max the recommended output level? I tend to use the Jive (Slimcontroller) for volume control, so it goes up and down. -- sdonham sdonham's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7749 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=51579 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

YES It varies with the display brightness! It gets noticeably quieter if I leave the display on the highest setting (bright) or reduce it to off. I really don't have to strain, to hear this, however... Are there any fixes for this? Perhaps a new VFD?

Re: [slim] High pitched whine from right channel?
I don't think it's an encoding issue. All I have to do is turn the SB3 on, not play anything, and the sound is there. It almost sounds like a high frequency oscillation. -- sdonham sdonham's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7749 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=51579 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

They did happen to have a 900 analog at Best Buy which sounds MUCH better. It's ugly, and looks like it was built in 1985, but it sounds clean. If you're in the US, check Best Buy. -- sdonham sdonham's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7749 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=40143 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

I second that. Although you mentioned that you are able to browse the internet while on the phone, perhaps the signal in your phone line degrades enough that streaming audio becomes a problem when you're on the phone, but not quite enough to browse the web? I could just be throwing darts however Here's an idea, try to download a large file, perhaps 100 Megs in size, and make a few calls in the process. Can you see your download speed change or fluctuate? I'm just wondering if perhaps when you are on the phone, your download speed drops enough to make internet radio streaming difficult. -- sdonham sdonham's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7749 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=40143 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Remote Access Security
OK, I might be hijacking this thread, but I suppose it's somewhat of a similar topic... I've toyed with the idea of running Slimserver on the same machine I use as my firewall and proxy to the outside world. Having read this thread, I think I should probably DMZ the slimserver on another machine behind the firewall which brings me to my question... My existing home firewall is an old Redhat 5 machine (circa 1998) running iptables with NAT and some port forwarding to other servers. I need to retire this monolithic beast because it consumes a ton of electricity for a simple firewall. Does anyone know of a small, cheap, off-the-shelf, linux firewall that runs iptables or is at least as simple to configure and change as iptables? I frequently SSH to my current setup to change a few ports, which I like because it's easy. I would love to do that same, just with a smaller more efficient firewall. An ideas?

Re: [slim] SB3 loses and fails to regain wireless connectivity
I recently had that exact same issue after using my slimbox without a single problem for the last two years. I finally discovered that my wireless access point, with DHCP enabled, was somehow delegating duplicate IP addresses and I had an IP conflict between my laptop and squeezebox. My best advice, if you haven't done so already, is log into your wireless router and check the logs (most support logging). You can often find a wealth of information in the router's logs. -- sdonham sdonham's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7749 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=38291 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

I am in no way affiliated with SDjust a slimdevices owner... While I'm sure getting the software to work with Vista is a top priority for SD, as a longtime software developer on the windows platform myeself, I'm willing to bet good money that the problem is with Vista, not slimserver. As most people will tell you, it's often a good idea to wait a few months before upgrading to the latest operation system. This gives time to third-party software and hardware vendors to learn the new OS and make the necessary changes. It also gives time to MS to work out any unforseen bugs in their OS. If you insist of having the latest and greatest OS, you must understand that not everything will not work out of the box. -- sdonham sdonham's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7749 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=31826 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
