Your problem is probably the small buffer in the SB1. I would finetune
the synchronization using the various settings available in
SqueezeCenter. There are several settings you can adjust, along with
good guidance for which changes you need for which kinds of problems. I
forget which tab it's
I finally resolved my issue and got off the topic of Squeeze controller
losing network connection. Unfortunately, a new issue has come up. This
time, its sync'ing issue.
I noticed, as other have pointed out, a slight delay when sync'ing 2
players. I have an SB1 the SBR hardwired via Cat5. They
I received my DUET system on Monday and have been monitoring it's signal
strenght compared to my SB3. The SB3 is about 30 feet away on the same
level as my wireless router and I placed the SBR about the same
distance away only one floor down. Looking at the status screen in
SqueezeCenter the SBR
Today, one of my SB3's decided, as it sometimes does, to lock into the
wrong access point. It's signal strength then was going as low as
12%. But, it worked fine. Until I tried to sync it with my other SB3.
Then all sorts of trouble.
So it may be that sync mode is somehow less tolerant of
Yes I have tried changing the wireless channel, the performance I am
receiving is the best I can get. Suppose i could always try flipping
the Duet Receiver on it side Still whatever way you look at it, it
seems that the wireless performance of the Duet is less than that of
the SB3.

Things have gone from bad to worse. First of all I treid listening to my
duet unsynchronised again and it is playing very choppily as if it has a
poor wireless connection (which it does). Maybe I got lucky on my first
listen. So I tried connecting my Homeplug (already had one) but could
not get
Re connecting via the homeplug, did you re-do the network setup (reset
by holding the SBR button until it flashes red, then go through the
setup receiver process with the Controller)?

Missed that step initially, should have stayed calmer and read the
manual however, the Homeplug does not wrok great unfortunately, so
the problem remains.
Current situation is that I now have the duet in the living room with a
signal strength of 12%, but it still plays! However the syncing
You're not the first report stating that wireless coverage isn't as good
with the SBR than it was with the SB3.
Both units contain the same chipset and both have 2 antennas. Some have
said it's the orientation, the upright position of the SB3 helping with
reception - I know the antennas in the
Does your system need to include an SBR?
Could you not, for example, return it and get an SB3 instead? Clearly
the SB3 seems to work for you...where's the big win with the SB3?

No, not in the slightest...I was merely saying that there was more
background noise on the player located in the TV cabinet.

The controller is available for purchase separately and, I believe,
will work without an SBR.
I have a related problem with my transporter and receiver. When I synch
the receiver with transporter, it starts out OK. At song switches, the
transporter intermittently stops playing while the receiver continues.
stopping and starting playing helps...but it was easier to just stop the
If your SB2 is up to date at version 40 then it is really an SB1 and has
a very small buffer.

Playback on the SB3 is fine for about 30 seconds, while playback on the

I'm assuming, as this is a new purchase, that the Duet is in a new area

Could there be a localised interference issue?
Have you tried swapping them around a bit?

I'm having a similar problem sync'ing my Duet with Squeezeslave; They
both play fine individually. When I sync, they start out in perfect
sync, but after a few seconds the Receiver pauses for about a second
causing a delay. If I deselect the option to keep syncronization it
