Description Toby 2009-07-27 10:52:27 UTC

PB1, WinXP, SC r27765, radio stream

From a Mute state:
-  turning Volume knob sometimes un-mutes, sometimes does not
-  Volume pop-up screen shows volume going up/down, but audio still Muted
-  pressing Volume knob to un-mute sometimes causes station re-buffer
-  pressing Volume knob to un-mute sometimes causes Pandora to skip to next track

Same results for Slacker & LastFM

Comment 2 Toby 2009-07-27 11:49:22 UTC

Apparently pushing Mute (Volume knob) is acting like a PAUSE on the station stream.  For a Music Service it looks like it is actually stopping the stream.  For either Music Service or standard radio stream my clock is popping up when pushing Mute like it's a screen saver, but I did not select any screen saver.  When the station is just playing the screen always stays on Now Playing screen.

I hope I'm making sense in explaining this stuff.   :)

Same for music files on SC, Baby's Mute = Pause, SC even shows the stream as paused on the UI, turning Volume knob does not un-mute audio.

Is this a Baby feature (Mute = Pause) I'm rampling about?

Pressing volume button is now mute.

Comment 5 Toby 2009-07-31 14:37:40 UTC

Actually, it isn't.   :)

Pressing Mute while on SC or MySB doesn't fully Mute, only lowers volume to a very low level.

WinXP, Baby PB1, r6865

On the positive side:
-  adjusting Volume knob (up or down) does bring Baby out of Mute, which is nice.
-  Mute no longer causes stream buffering/skips
