Good idea about that cable. I was thinking the same thing. I may have

If your NAS has a utility like 'top' you could check to see if the CPU

though I don't

You've had a Touch for a year and you haven't figured not to update a
working system until it's proven in production for some period of time?
Turn off the option in SBS that automatically notifies you that an
upgrade is available. Then you won't get the upgrade message!

Thanks for the advice! Is the NAS doing the volume control or decoding?
I had supposed those processes were done inside the Touch itself.
Actually, I have now hard-wired the Touch to my four-port router (where
the NAS is also connected) and the problem persists, but occurs only
with ALAC
