    Fall back alarm

    Hello all. first post so be gentle with me. Is there any way to lower the volume of the fall back alarm on radio. I set alarm on sbs and server/pc failed in night. Nearly hit roof when fall back fired. Tried to simulate this during day (setting alarm and then shutting down pc) and got same result, some really funky tune at full blast. really enjoying radio and boom .(apart from changing bedsheets)

    You can set the alarm volume level, the fallback alarm goes off at this level, too. (At least with my SBR)

        I have had the back up alarm go off a few times. There was never any funky music, just an ordinary alarm beep tone which seemed to be at the same level that I set the radio for. Not too loud.

          You describe what what I posted as a bug-report (http://bugs.slimdevices.com/show_bug.cgi?id=14870), see especially comment #13.
          I also had this funky sound - and sometimes also some beeping.
          Unfortunately logitech QA doesn't seem to be able to reproduce it

          But good to know that there is at least a second person

              What tune is it?

              It sounds like a loop of some funky tune by The Talking Heads.

              Where does the sample really come from?

              (I have no idea why the Radio started playing the fallback alarm this morning. After pressing "next song", it went on playing random FLACs from my server, just like I've instructed it to do.)

                If you search Amazon US for the Duet (http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0013IWYHU) there is a video available (below the big product photo) that has a longer version of that tune (someone singing as well).

                Maybe someone can run it through these music recognition systems?

                  I get the full volume funky tune alarm if my Radio loses connection to my SbS (the wireless icon turns blue). Scares the life out of me when it happens!
