Bugzilla – Bug 810
Birate lower than 128 wont play MP3 (Digital Only)
Last modified: 2008-12-18 11:52:52 UTC
For both internet radio and my MP3 collection the SqueezeBox just remains silent and does not produce any sound through my system. I am using the digital (coax) output from the Squeezbox into a Denon AV reciever with digital inputs (PCM). It plays most everything fine other than low bitrate MP3. Anything lower than 128 it seems to just not be able to send something my reciever can play. I have not tried analog. Server Version 5.4 SqueezeBox Firmware 40
This bug is only for low bitrate MP3. I metioned it out of order but that is the bug. Lower than 128 does not play.
when a file is lower than 128kb, does that mean it is 22kHz sampling instead of 44.1kHz? if so, this is already a known problem. SPDIF standard does not allow for 22kHz, so many digital recievers will not accept it.
I don't think its related to 22/44khz because I was playing a VBR MP3 and it actually cut out when the bitrate dropped and cut back in. Very strange. I have switched over to analog (oh well) it still sounds great but its a little disapointing that everything won't play digital. With all the great internet radio thats now integrated with the player I could'nt miss out. At this point If others using digital output are NOT having any issue with low bitrat then I guess its related to the recievers digital capabilities. FYI Mine is a Dennon AVR-2800 and I was using the Coax Digital input.
