A few days ago my SB3 went all-noise for the first time since I got it in December. I was listening to something on the squeezenetwork at the time. One channel had wall to wall noise, the other a high frequency buzz. A soft reset (holding the power button on the remote for 4 sec) made it go awa

Sorry, no I don't recognize any correllation w/power spikes or glitches. We have very clean power, as reported by my APC monitoring graphs, so wouldn't expect that. One thing that might be useful, I wouldn't have described the problem as "white noise", but have followed the lead of others here; r

FYI. The WNoD visisted us once a month ago. It happened as I was bumping the volume up and down via web interface while a song was playing I was testing something from another room and bounced the volume to hear it). All our tracks are 44.1, and we're using analog only. -- MrC -

Thanks for the update and explaination. I love to make believe I understand the technical stuff :-) You are doing what I liked to call "debugging by thinking", one of the most rewarding activities when it works. -- Millwood -

Please excuse the technical nature of this reply - I'm not sure how much of an answer you'd like. :) What we know is that it is a rare occurrence where the data stream between the CPU and the audio output circuitry gets out of sync. When this occcurs, you should hear nothing from the s/pdif, and
