[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 754357, member: 82144"] @<everyone>: Is anyone else experiencing the popping that shamus252 has mentioned? @shamus252: If we're going to have any hope of resolving this then we're going to need to try to figure out which discontinuity is causing the popping. It could be: - when the STB starts the channel change - when the STB finishes the channel change - when the Colossus changes encoding/passthrough mode - when physical inputs are switched - when the client side graph is rebuilt (ie. codecs replaced) - random Colossus encoder hiccups either during or after channel change, or even during stable viewing Does your setup include changing inputs on the crossbar (ie. you use audio from SPDIF for some channels and audio from RCA L/R for other channels)? Does your setup include changes in audio encoding (ie. some channels arrive at the Colossus inputs with pre-encoded DD/AC3 audio while others arrive as raw PCM [SPDIF] or analog [RCA] and are encoded to AAC by the Colossus)? When *exactly* does it happen? - exactly when you think the STB has changed to a new channel - just after you think the STB has changed to a new channel (ie. when codecs are settling in) - when MP changes channel - randomly during playback Does the popping *always* happen? Is the popping sometimes more or less severe? Do you change channels with the blaster in WMC, WinTV and/or DVBLink, or do you just change channel on the STB? I'm glad you like it! :) [/QUOTE]
