Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] SBT/EDO with KEF X300A Speakers
OK...here's a silly question; that the experts already looking in here, can probably answer...so I don't have to post another (silly-question) thread :o I host my LMS on a "dedicated" PC, that is not my primary PC; it just hosts LMS and serves some other duties. In the short-term, I'm going to move that...and connect it to the X300As. I've never used that PC to play; just to control my 4 other Squeeze devices. What's the best/easiest way, to turn that PC into a -player-...that I could remote-control from the SB app on my pads; as well as continue to host and serve LMS?

Yeah, and I think you've hit the nail on the head nicely. While I don't know how to do what you've suggested...I'm not an idiot, and can ask questions and follow directions with the best of them. That being said...I agree; I don't exactly have a ton of time, to invest...for an untested/unproven solution. I have Googled, and seen some of the postings you reference; i.e. "alsa" issues, etc. While I don't even know what that means...lol; it seems to me, to be unresolved. So I guess the answer is...I'm assuming, for now; the SBT and X300A is -not- a viable solution. Didn't want to steal one of my Touch's anyway...lol. I'm looking into alternatives, and if the SBT works "easily" with these speakers; well...I could always give it a shot then.

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] SBT/EDO with KEF X300A Speakers
Can I assume, the EDO and/or SBT; are using some form of Linux, as its OS? Because I am seeing reports, that the X300As driver...does not play nice with Linux. I guess some have had success, with a "hack"; updating a kernal, and so forth (but that's not with SBT, to my knowledge...and way over my head, so I'm not interested anyway). Any feedback...about whether I have ANY shot at getting this to work; or should I start looking for another solution? :( Thanks CDLehner's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=21868 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=101479 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch

There is also something iffy with USB drivers on many ARM platform hence the HUB will assist . I would try a powered one . Not sure that unpowered ones have the chipset you want .

My thinking is powered because the Touch is possibly struggling to provide the power to drive the USB connection in the speakers, and is rebooting as a result. The stock PSU is adequate to power the Touch, but not necessarily other devices.

[SlimDevices: Touch] SBT/EDO with KEF X300A Speakers
So...I just picked-up these new KEF speakers. Wish I'd paid a little more attention, to the available inputs. I was hoping for optical s/pdif in; only USB-mini and 3.5mm. So...an SBT, using USB-out would work nicely; though I hadn't planned to have to rob one of my SBTs. But I can't seem to get it to work. Connected to the X300As, when I go to EDOs digital output settings > select audio output...I see the KEF there; but with its output selected, the SBT just keeps re-booting and re-booting.
