Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Pandora stops playing after a couple songs
A couple weeks ago I received a free access point from a sales rep. Pandora over the Squeezebox Radio works so much better now! I still can't usually play Pandora for 9 hours straight, but I can almost always play it for a couple hours without it stopping, where before it might play one or two songs and then stop. The access point I got is a Meraki MR32. It retails for about $500, so it's not a solution many people will use, but it is pretty incredible. I guess the point is that my problem was poor connectivity, but I agree that I think Pandora changed something a few months ago that caused streaming using a Squeezebox to be less reliable.

[SlimDevices: Radio] Change volume to more than 100 and force headphone output
I have a Squeezebox Radio that is hardwired to a small digital amp using the headphone output on the squeezebox. I am trying to accomplish two goals. 1. I want to change the headphone maximum output to more than 100%. If I hook my iPhone directly to the amp instead of using the squeezebox I can get a significantly higher level of sound from my amp and that is what I'm looking to achieve from the squeezebox. 2. The alarm always outputs sound through the built-in speaker even though I have speakers hooked up to headphone jack. How can I change the alarm to output sound to the headphone jack instead? Before you all warn about doing damage to my amp from increasing the gain sent to it, I don't care. I don't care if changing the gain to 120% can burn up the amp. It's cheap, but at the same time I don't want to buy a bigger amp. I would just like to know the answers to my two questions.

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Squeezebox Radio + External amp?
I have a squeezebox radio that I use to run my whole house sound system. I use the headphone jack output, and then an adapter to convert stereo to mono (because I only have a single speaker in each room) and then that signal gets split. One side of the split is plugged into a small digital amp that powers a speaker in my bedroom and one in my bathroom, and then the other side of the split cable goes into a wireless transmitter (that and the prementioned amp are inside my nightstand) that sends the sound to a wireless receiver/amp in my kitchen pantry that powers a speaker in my kitchen and one in the room with my pool table. All of this is controller using the iPhone app iPeng. It is such a great setup. I just did it all about a month ago and couldn't be more pleased. See attached pictures. If you have any questions on exactly what products I used or about the installation feel free to ask. The sound quality is actually very nice, and it was pretty cheap. The speakers were $70/pair, the amp powering 2 of them was $50, and the wireless transmitter and wireless receiver/amp were about $150 for the set. +---+ |Filename: IMG_3618.JPG | |Download: http://forums.slimdevices.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=10812| +---+ -- PWB PWB's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=41141 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=67652 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] setting headphone jack to mono?
Thanks bluegaspode. I have SSH'ed into the radio and looked a bit at the 'amixer' command and I think you're probably correct that it could possibly do what I want, but I am by no means a Linux guy and don't know what setting to change and what the syntax should be. Can anyone help me with the correct 'amixer' command to change the headphone output to mono?

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] setting headphone jack to mono?
That's what I have in place now, and it does work, but I'd rather not use extra adapters if the radio can just output mono on its own. I know its not a big deal though. The other half of my reason for asking is I like tinkering with things and knowing how they work. -- PWB PWB's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=41141 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=82837 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
[SlimDevices: Radio] setting headphone jack to mono?
I recently bought a SB Radio and am in the process of making it the controller of a whole house sound system. I am coming out of the headphone jack and using external amps to power in-wall speakers in several rooms with volume controlled by the Radio (not the amps) using the iPeng iPhone app, but each room only has one speaker in it and so I was wondering if I can edit the configuration of the Radio to output a mono signal out of the headphone jack. I know I can use an adapter to convert it (that's what I'm doing now), but it'd be nice if I could use as few adapters and connectors as possible and just do it in the SB Radio itself. I don't mind SSHing into the radio and making changes if someone can point me in the right direction. -- PWB PWB's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=41141 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=82837 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
