Hi Klaus, I read your blog about your latest change

I do accept that running at 100% volume (and adjusting the volume via your amp) will improve playback quality (as the original bits are sent to your amp). What I don't accept is that you are telling people that just putting the volume to 100% is not enough but your mod again will improve stuff because Logitech is lying to us. Luckily this time this is proved easily: at the corresponding code line you are changing there is a log output right before. So anyone having enabled logging can test for himself: In SqueezePlay: Settings->Advanced->Log->audio.decode. One just has to set it to Debug - then the following lines will appear in the log when I change the volume to 100%: Code: -------------------- 22.01.11 21:26:44 [0x0-0xa91a91].com.logitech.squeezeplay[56528] [0;34m20110122 20:26:28.893 DEBUG audio.decode - Playback.lua:871 gainL, gainR: 65536 65536[0m 22.01.11 21:26:44 [0x0-0xa91a91].com.logitech.squeezeplay[56528] [0;34m20110122 20:26:31.333 DEBUG audio.decode - Playback.lua:871 gainL, gainR: 65536 65536[0m 22.01.11 21:37:34 [0x0-0xa9ba9b].com.logitech.squeezeplay[56579] [0;34m20110122 20:37:25.694 DEBUG audio.decode - Playback.lua:871 gainL, gainR: 65536 65536[0m 22.01.11 21:37:34 [0x0-0xa9ba9b].com.logitech.squeezeplay[56579] [0;34m20110122 20:37:31.116 DEBUG audio.decode - Playback.lua:871 gainL, gainR: 65536 65536[0m -------------------- So SqueezePlay (the firmware of the Touch) indeed uses the maximum possible value for it's internal gain setting when you set it to 100%. '65536' is exactly the same value that is used in your mod. So while it's nice to have a mod that fixes the volume at 100% - and while it's nice to give people the hint, that they should prefer the volume control of their amp (and set the Touch to 100%) all other of your claim are pure nonsense. One can achieve the same results with following just the beginning of your blog: > > 1. Turn your external volume control down first! > 2. Play a track. Slowly drive your Touch VC towards > 100% while adjusting your external control to > an acceptable level. > -- bluegaspode Big Screen for great Boxes available now at your AppStore: *'Squeezebox + iPad = SqueezePad ' (www.squeezepad.com)* - -now featuring streaming to iPad!- Want to see a Weather Forecast on your Radio/Touch/Controller ? => why not try my 'Weather Forecast Applet' (http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=73827) Want to use the Headphones with your Controller ? => why not try my 'Headphone Switcher Applet' (http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=67139) Setup: 1x SB-Controller+Receiver (Duet), 1xSB-Boom. 2xSB-Radio Server (7.5.1) running on SheevaPlug (Ubuntu) with attached Western Digital MyBook Essential. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bluegaspode's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=31651 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=84742 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
