Why "not quite the same"? The key difference is that I experience a 100% switch from normal music to white noise, rather than "music still discernible in the background".
Regarding your specific queries:
a) My AIR buffer is set to 2000ms. (this is set in the "advanced" section of the AIR GUI, look for the pad lock symbol) Why not longer? I have found if set higher AIR ALWAYS shuts down in about 5 seconds with 24/196 files. I think AIR or the Devialet itsef simply runs out of memory. Why not shorter? No real reason, just a hunch that longer is better.
b) PC is connected to a router, the router is hard wired to a switch box, the switch box is hard wired to the Devialet, as well as smart TV, Bluray player etc.
With regards to Thierry's comment, I always think "the problem may be" is IT speak for "I don't know"..... However, it has given me a thought......
I never had this issue with my old Windows Vista PC. Futhermore, I don't think I had this issue with my current Windows 8 PC prior to setting up WASAPI on Jriver. I have had this problem with iTunes before setting up Windows Audio Session. So what's changed and when? I think this could be related to the Windows sound card GUI. i.e. changing to exclusive mode to allow WASAPI to function. I might try switching this off and using iTunes direct, and see if the problem goes. The problem is that I have run the PC through the Devialet for maybe 5 hours or more before this the white noise issue occurs, so it may take a while to establish if this is the culprit.
Another thisng I might try when I get time, is to hard wire the Devialet direct to the PC via Ethernet, this would then rule out the router and switches as a problem.
