[slim] Transporter Toslink -- Popping??

[andrewhess]

Hi all.
I'm finding the when I run my Panasonic TV audio out through toslink to
my transporter I get a loud pop every ~2 mins. I'm running a rpi with
PiCorePlayer and Squeezeserver wirelessly to the Transporter as player
and pre-amp. I had read that if you disable the plugin, reboot,
reenable, reboot, it goes away. But it comes back within a day.

Help?
Thanks,
Andrew

Bump?

I've had this problem for as long as I've used the toslink connection w/
the Transporter. It used to go away with reloading the digital inputs
plugin, but that doesn't seem to work for long now. I've also search
online forever--it seems no one else experience this. Any thoughts?

In the past I had something feeding my Transporter through digital
inputs via S/PDIF input. It worked fine. Never used the optical input
and have nothing here that I could test with. I assume you've replaced
the toslink cable to see if that is the culprit. Also, have you tried
some other audio source (connected to transporter via toslink) other
than the TV to see if it is the TV source or the toslink input on the
Transporter?

It's definately worth trying another source connected to your
transporter if you can.

I had loads of problems with my Panasonic TV (8 year old model mind)
connected to my DAC - it would just drop out every now and then for
about a second or so - the DAC might just be a bit more graceful in
handling whatever was happening to the toslink output. This seemed to be
channel dependant and very sporadic but very annoying.

I gave up in the end and just used the autio output from the TV.

Recently changed the TV (Samsung) and since have had no problem with the
optical connection - which is good as there's no analog o/p on the TV.

Update:
Still no luck. The system is fine with any other sort of
streaming--Spotify, my NAS music, etc. Only with the Toslink connection
does it pop/dropout every 2 minutes or so. I've swapped toslink cables.
I've changed to ethernet. I've deleted and reloaded the digital sources
plug in.

I noticed that when it happens the Transporter screen dims. Does that
mean anything to anyone?

I hate not being able to view movies w/o the stereo on!

Steve-g: My Panasonic also only has digital out. Arg. Glad it's working
for you.

Help?
