Hi,
I've posted the thread about dropouts after reinstalling Slimserver 6.22 on my laptop and using it with an external USB2 harddisk.
Now I tried my (previously working) PC/SB3 setup (WIN XP), connected the USB drive and told Slimserver to fetch my music from the external disk.
My problems even got worse! I can operate the SB3 from remote control, menus pop up OK but I can't hear any sound. I use an external DAC connected to the SB3 and everytime I try to play a FLAC file or even internet radio, the DAC goes "out of sync" as if no valid data or sample rate was supplied- other digital sources such as my CD player work OK. SB3 keeps showing the animation of music playing and even Slimserver communicates just fine. However, I always see buffer underruns (low) when I enable the performance counters. Does anyone have a clue what's going on?
I initially suspected that the USB drive might have caused this problem so I temporarily told Slimserver to fetch music from my local harddrive (this is how it was set up before I got my USB drive). Nothing did change.
I also tried SB3 factory resets, rebooted my WLAN router but to no avail.
About my setup: Internet connects to WLAN router (Philips), Slimserver PC (WIN XP) hardwired to WLAN router. Wireless internet works and even signal strength reported by SB3 is around 80% most of the time.
My SB3 is completely unusable at this time
Please help!
Thanks,
Mike
