I have now been able to eliminate this 'screech" event from happening by closing the slimserver PC browser interface page, I'm using Opera 9.20 ... I was also getting into the bad habit of leaving to many tabs open unnecessarily, so I've cut back on this also I wonder if this makes any sense

This may not be so helpful. But is it possible that your PC has a modem which some one has plugged in recently and is now trying to dial out. -- RalphO RalphO's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=361

I am not certain but I think WMA lossless format needs to be transcoded by the server. If so there is an issues with Windows where transcoded files data can get truncated. You could run a debug log with d_source and d_directstream to see what is happening. As I said it is unlikely to be the caus

If the source of audio is being transcoded, then if somehow text or (e.g. an error message) or other non audio data (e.g. disk read error resulting in junk data) was sent alongside or instead of the audio data, it would be encoded into a valid audio stream and result in incoherent noise. This
