Backup alarm sounds after correct alarm has sounded
Last modified: 2011-09-17 09:54:37 UTC
Reported issue with MySqueezebox.com and 7.6.0 r9458 firmware: I have experienced for numerous builds now (including Goldy) a situation where I get two alarms in the morning. I am using a Radio. I have my alarm set to go off at 6:00am with the Crystalize sound. The alarm goes off a short period after 6:00. 17 seconds after 6:00 in the last case. Within 7 seconds I have disabled the alarm using the Radio power button. Then, a couple seconds later the alarm goes off again but this time with the backup alarm content. A couple of items I find interesting. First, it does not appear that our alarm is event generated. The delay suggests that it is initiated by some task that looks at the time at some odd interval. Second, this dual alarm issue only occurs for me if I disable the alarm within a very short time period - the whole sequence happens within 1 minute. And third, it is never the same alarm tones - when this occurs it is always by chosen content for one of the alarms and the backup for the other. This issue is intermittent. Over time (after a full power cycle), it seems to occur more frequently. This looks like some sort of combination race condition and polling solution that is causing the issue.
We continue to receive contact about this issue, with firmware 7.6.1 via Phone and Email support.
