Before I buy another SB3, I thought I'd just check if there are any other software solutions that may work? I believe SqueezePlay relies on SqueezeLite so I am presumably back to the same problem there? Are there any other software solutions to playing sync'd music on my desktop?

IIRC sync depends on an accurate clock on the audio hardware and many PCs don't have good audio hardware but also sometime Windows can do a lot of s/w processing (e.g. resample 44.1kHZ to 48 Khz) . On Windows there are a few different audio API and perhaps one may be better for your setup.

One more SB3 is never a bad choice I would say. But given the environment you describe and the asking price for an SB these days, I would take a 2nd hand/refurbished Airport Express (2012-current model) and put that near the PC. You would get line out for the PC (digital or analog) and a boost to

Well if you have AirPlay devices (not the shairplay software stuff but hardware devices) you could sync an SB3 about perfectly, using the AirPlay Bridge plugin. Or you can let the SB3 drift (settings>your SB3>Synchronize menu) but I have to say I never tried the options to not maintain sync, or

I have two SB3s and SqueezeLite running on a Windows 10 desktop, all wired in. The syncing of SqueezeLite is usually out by a very noticeable split second. But more annoying is that the SqueezeLite causes crackles and pops in the SB3s, about once a minute. Presumably these occur as they all
