I had this incipient problem mainly streaming BBC Radio 4.

I had repeatedly rebooted all the network elements to no avail. The problem increased until even streaming music files was being interrupted after a few minutes.

Inspired by a comment from Ratbert (thanks Russ) about noisy devices, I switched off and unplugged the two EoP devices and switched off the 818v2/ID41. I then plugged in the EoP devies into the "other" plug outlet of the twinned power points. Then switched on distant (into the power) EoP first, then close EoP (out of power), then finally the 818v2/ID41.

I have since run Sooloos non-stop for 48 hours including streaming Radio 4 non-stop for 23 hours and palying many streamed music files. I put the 818v2/ID41 into standby for a few hours and started streaming R4 again - which has now been running for ~15 hours.

The trick (compared with just rebooting everything) appears to be the unplugging and replugging of the EoP devices (possibly the other gang is electrically cleaner and less noisy?) and then the sequence of power activation.


In the spirit of Spinaltap, I would like to confirm that I am not involved in the corrupt theft of a global sport.
