[SlimDevices: Touch] Digital background noise.

2011-09-12 Thread Ladyfingers
I have a problematic DAC that mutes on silence, which means that it often clips the beginnings of tracks. It maintains a lock for about 5 seconds after a track is paused, so track transitions aren't a problem for the most part, however, starting an album from standby often results in lost

Yeah, if the SBS Diagnostics report all as OK it is probably not anti virus or firewall, but it's a good starting point to check. Try this: Touch My Music Switch Library, see if your SBS server shows up in there. Beyond that I can only concur with trying a reboot. -- toby10
