I've been a Slim Devices user for many years now owning 2 devices (ver 2 & the transporter) and also using versions of Softsqueeze on my computer. Since upgrading to Leopard OSX 10.5 on my Mac Pro (dual Quad-core). I've noticed:PROBLEM---------------------------------------1) Playback using Softsqueeze 3.3 is very poor "mostly" from the right-channel.2) The appear is coming through but is very "echo-y" and "digitally noisy". This effect is HIGHLY noticeable so much so that I can't listen to it anymore. MY SYSTEM---------------------------------------1) I listen to FLAC files exclusively.2) Softsqueeze 3.3 (on a Mac Pro running Leopard OSX 10.5) is connecting to the Slimserver which is running on a local networked machine. (WinXP) on a Gigabit wired network connection.3) Softsqueeze GUI is functioning properly and is able to look for search for music and initiate playback. TESTING I'VE DONE---------------------------------------1) Thought it may be the speaker OR audio connectors OR audio card in the Mac. But all other audio playback from other players on this machine perform properly without noise. This includes loading the same FLAC file over the same network to a different client (VLC player on the Mac) without difficulties.2) Tried removing and reinstalling the Softsqueeze client this resulted in the same audio air.3) Tried running the Java-build of Softsqueeze this resulted in the same audio issue.4) Tried removing & reinstalling the Slimserver on the WinXP forge with the latest release build this resulted in the same audio issue.5) Ensured that on the Firewall for the Mac (under Leopard) that Slimserver had the ability to go through it OK.6) I've noticed no network lag or issues between my Mac and the Winxp machine on my network. In my opinion it seems to be client-based problem with Softsqueeze (3.3) and Leopard as it worked when I was using Mac OSX 10.4 (Tiger). After doing some research I've noticed that Leopard OSX 10.5 on the mac seems to undergo a new Java runtime built in. Could that be the air?QUESTIONS?---------------------------------------1) Anyone else have this issue?2) Anyone have any suggestions /fixes to try?Thanks for any help you could provide.
Longtime Slimdevices user several Squeezeboxes domiciliate & bring home the bacon. Infrant ReadyNAS NV+ 2TB server stream stuff all the measure like it. Everything fine until "upgrading" laptop to OSX Leopard - now audio from right channel out of Softsqueeze app ONLY.
