Bugzilla – Bug 8621
Boom looses connectivity, seemingly more often than SB3

Periodically, boom looses connectivity and then reconnects. Perhaps this happens as often on SB3 and it just goes unnoticed because the audio is un-interrupted on SB3. When boom reconnects, the DSP is reloaded, thus there is a gap in the audio. However, this seems to happen, even when there is good wireless connectivity. Perhaps this just requires an adjustment of what is called 'lost connection', or perhaps there is some deeper problem going on.
Nobody else seems to be reporting this; what is the reported signal strength of the player?
Actually, I have also gotten this a few times (why I added myself to this bug) and I think that there may have been another person that mentioned it in the forum too. Typically my signal strength is around 80. To me, it acts like a very momentary network drop. Less than a second. However, the recovery isn't fully graceful. At least, that is what the cause was for some of the stuff we were doing where I worked (business application data sync.) - very similar symptoms. The dsp load makes it more noticable, certanly, but I also had music drops without the default dsp in place. The controller, located about 10 feet further away from the wireless hub, didn't notice any network issues. No reconnecting messages, etc. I didn't seem to get an occurrence this last weekend, though, but I wasn't able to listen in as long a blocks as usual.
Has anyone seen this issue with r22? I have tested my boom(s) in various locations and can not replicate.
Caleb: Can you reproduce?
Re-open with a reproducible case.
