Just finished about an hour and a half of investigating this again. First I switched off SugarCube and created a playlist with three FLAC files and two MP3s from differing albums and played them repeatedly on the Touch (analog outs) with crossfade set to "Fade In and Out". On most but not all changes of tracks a short glitch could be heard at about ten seconds from the track end (I have crossfade set to ten seconds). On occasions no glitch could be heard - I couldn't make any sense of when this happened, sometimes the same crossfade of tracks would cause a audible glitch and at other times would not or the glitch was less obvious.
On changing the crossfade setting to "crossfade" it appeared to lessen the occurance of the glitches however they did happen maybe about 50% less than on "fade in and out". Switching SugarCube on again appeared to make no difference. One thing I noticed through these tests was that the glitching was much less noticable than I had previously noticed, then I thought to check through my external DAC, which is the way I usually have the Touch operating. It now appears that at the glitch point the DAC loses sync and mutes for around two to three seconds which, (obviously) makes the glitches more audible. With the DAC it's now clear that the glitch is occuring more regularly than noticed on the Analog Outs. I suspected that perhaps the tracks were using different sampling frequencies and that this would be the cause of the DAC dropping its sync but a quick check confirmed them all to be 44.1kHz. So just to summarize it appears that this drop out of audio is occurring with both "crossfade" and "fade in & out" and that this is also causing some kind of break in the SPDIF output which unsyncs my DAC. I am running SBS Version: 7.5.1 - r30804 on Windows 7 Pro and my Touch is operating on wireless. Hope that gives some help toward fixing the issue. cheers, Richard -- slackhead ------------------------------------------------------------------------ slackhead's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13963 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=79093 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
