I have set up my new Duet, and it all seems okay.
I have chosen an Internet Radio station, which seems to be loading and
playing, but I hear no music.
I have tried it both analogue and digital, and looked in the settings
to see which it defaults too, but cannot find it.
Any pointers please?
I looked at the Duet at a trade show, but decided that I prefer the
