Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Line-in: sound volume not high enough
I have the same issue when plugging any source via its headphone socket into Radio. It is down to the fact that the headphone socket on devices isn't designed to output a line level signal and the Radio's input is expecting a line level signal. The Radio could do with a gain control on the input, like the Boom has. -- andynormancx Yes, it will. Yes, all of them. Yes, SoftSqueeze as well. What ?

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Line-in: sound volume not high enough
This is probably the same issue as on the boom. There is a gain (volume) setting on the line in input that is at 50% by default ( so as not to clip the ADC with a "hot" input ). If you up this value to a larger value, you can then control the output volume with the normal (output ) volume.

To increase the possibility of getting a working device when you bring it back from the attic, make sure there are bugs registered for your problems at http://bugs.slimdevices.com and vote for them so Logitech knows there are more people with the same problem. However, from what you describe, it sounds like your problem might be caused by something in your setup. Maybe network disturbances or something similar. To find and solve these, you should contact the Logitech support unless you have already done so.

Hi MickeyG, thank you for your answer. Good to hear from a developer who he is interested in my problem, unfortunately the German support team did not help me at all. Since the 7.5. update approx. 2 months ago I do not have ANY station art anymore when I am connected to mysqueezebox.com , EVERY channel just shows the antenna.

I would agree that this sounds like a bad unit. Before you exchange your unit ... were you able to update the firmware on the bad one? If so, what version of Squeezebox Server and firmware are you running? Can you update your software and firmware as one last check? Updating with either wired or wireless network would be OK.

You're correct. The batteries are Ni-MH. There's a smaller controller running most of the front panel, and that controller controls charging. No power means the controller can't charge the battery.

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] alarm does not work as aspected
I have the exact same problem: the alarm goes on with that unbearable music. Then, if I snooze it, it sounds 10 minutes later with the correct playlist I've set. So it seams that the problem is that my server does not wake up in 10 seconds (and WOL is not sent or ignored). Is it possible to make the10 seconds timeout longer? I am sure that even without WOL, my server wakes up in a 30 seconds (it's a NAS, it takes some time to start up 5 raid disks)... Is there a server configuration file I can edit to make that 10 seconds, 60 seconds instead?
