[tony]

Just another thought I think both my cards are pci-e. Ken advised his is pci. Just wonder what Frans are/is on the zuma?

Tony, I think my Network adapter is part of the motherboard, it's not PCI but I'm thinking of switching the PC's around and putting a PCIe card in the current AudioPC (cos the Intel one doesn't allow me to set IP addresses) and a PCI one in the current Streamer (cos the Adnaco will occupy the PCIe slot).

I checked one of the laptops has PCIe Realtek the other is PCI Broadcom Netlink adapter.

I just sent a mail to josef - might start a thread on this over on jplay.

right it seems ive got the intel 82579v chipset in my i7 build, just after checking with a new win 8 install. optimized defaults in bios, killed the firewall and homgrouped pcs
its working perfect at us=45 usb ethernet on audio pc/ us=30 on realtek (built in ethernet)

also working with this driver version 12.1.77.0

just on a side note i have a apple usb to ethernet adapter and it works too

stumped on frans issue, thought if i did a fresh install i might come across the same problem and then start to figure it out

just to be sure, get another copy of the jplay setup from your downloads folder as i had issue with a faulty installer a while back

I got it working!


So my first test was would ultra work on the franzuma in standalone mode - yes it did. Then, on Josef's advice, I left driverbuffer at 0 and upped the US to 4000, disabled firewall on the audioPC (even though the rule to allow port 48168 was there). Result was sound!! After that I can get US down to 150, but no lower. I'm still not sure where to go next to drop that another bit. When I tested in standalone mode, I could get it down to 120 only, so an extra 30 for the streaming isn't bad.

I'd like to go lower though! Esp given that its a dedicated build etc and meant to be the DBs.

Congrats. Is that through a router/modem? Your figure is similar to mine (160) and I'm wondering is the router the limiting factor.
