Is HDMI audio output still 'very unsupported'? I'm currently running pCP
6.1 and am about to update to 8.2.0.
I'm using a Pi B+ v1.2. The analog 3.5mm jack is just too noisy for even
casual listening. I would appreciate any suggestions to improve audio
quality.

Here is the source of my issue:

It's a culprit of SqueezePlay. Basically, the buffer for each 16/44

spike of data which causes the audible dropout. This also ex

Hi guys,
Just a few questions/issues lately. I got a Sony UDA-1 USB DAC to fool

First thing I noticed, is that I'm still having the "last 10 second

No you can't change it through LMS. Once you find the dynamic IP address

tells you the MAC ID.

I started by doing a fresh reformat of the MicroSDHC card in the B+,
with a fresh image of 1.18. Glitch still present.
Then, I increased the buffer size within the web GUI of the pCP from the
default of 80, to 160. Glitch gone! I then start

Did more testing tonight with both a B, and a B+ running 1.17a, and the
"last 10 second glitch" is audible with HDMI audio in addition to the
