Re: [slim] Suggested Portable Product

I tried the Beta enable of the Duet Controller as a player and it
worked, except that most of the sound comes out of the built-in speaker
and very little from the headphone jack.  Is there a way to disable the
speaker and have all the sound come through the jack?  I would have
thought that plugging in a headphone would disable the speaker but it
doesn't.

It should. It generally has worked that way for me, but a lot of people
have reported the problem you're seeing, so it's not an isolated case. 

I suggest trying plug/unplug the headphones a couple times to see if
that makes it work correctly. If that fails, reboot the SBC and try
again. If that fails, look on the forums for various workarounds. The
easiest might be an applet someone wrote to force the audio output to
the headphones -- sorry, but I forget the name of the applet.

Not if you enable it as a player and then select it as a player. I
forget the exact menu path, but it's Settings  Advanced  then either
Audio Playback or Beta Features. 

Note that (a) SBC playback is a beta feature and not advertised to
work, and (b) it was actually working better for most people under 7.3
then it is now under 7.4. But if you're going to speculate about a
suggested future product, may as well as look at an existing product
that is already capable of doing what you're looking for and just needs
some further tweaking.

Another option is wireless headphones connected to any Squeezebox, then
control it with either iPeng or the Duet Controller. I do this once in a
while. Not sure how it compares to an FM transmitter for quality,
interference, or range. For me it's more reliable than using headphones
with the Controller, but it's been a while since I've tried that.
