Alarm is awful.

There is only a pause button, how would you stop oterwise?

By holding the pause button for a moment.

Interesting, never knew that, does it work on booms also, will try! By messing with buttons I also found pressing volume knob mutes the radio! Set alarm through SBS for tomorrow which is on my currently hibernated server...fingers crossed!

Yes.

Alarm worked perfectly today! I set the alarm through SBS then hibernated PC. Alarm faded in on BBC Radio 5 at right time, kept going until the 45 mins was up then ceased as expected.

The thing is though that I use the exact same web stream as when setting it through MYSB.COM but of course it fails after 30 secs when streamed this way.

For months the alarm worked well. Since the last update on my radio (9009), the alarm do nothing nearly every 3 to 5 days.
No fallback alarm
No radio sound (configured) in the radio
No wakeup of my whs
simply nothing

SBS ist 7.5.1 on a whs......

I have the alarm set to play a radio station favourite. The radio is connected to the internet and playing the same station in the evening when it sleeps....

What happens? Sometimes I get the default noise straight away, this morning I got about 30 seconds of my chosen radio station and then the default noise again...

Exactly same issue here...some short seconds of waking pleasure from the live radio station and then a default tune.

Luckily my default tune is some kind of jazzy rif repeating endlessly, but does get boring rather quickly.

PS: Didn't happen when I used to have a playlist with .FLAC files from the NAS...looks like a internet radio issue :-(

I share your pain. The rest of the family is getting sick of "BongoTech", and really getting tired of me dancing to it, when I finally do get up

Has anyone tried the new beta firmware 7.6 r9135 to see if the alarm problems are sorted?
I'm aware there is a display dimming bug now in there too, but surely they must have fixed more than they broke???????

Maybe the dimming bug isn't a bug, but a feature.

It lights up your bedroom so much, you don't even get to sleep. Thus, no alarm is needed anymore ;-)

Today, the alarm started with 2 secs. Radio Paradise...then 2 secs default tune...and (luckily) back to Radio Paradise again.

Mmmm...a new surprise with every wake up :-(
