Ethernet streaming and occasional white noise on Windows

[ogs]

What is your pattern? Do you get the white noise only with long listening session (e.g. over two hours long)?

Not the same every time unfortunately. It can be within 30 min or more than 2 hours. What seems to be a rule is that white noise is more likely if there is a pause/stop of, say, more than 10 min in a session. If the pause/stop is long, i.e. I forget to restart AIR and player from a session the previous evening, I'll have the noise just seconds after I start playing
