    Potentially the system is running low on memory, if you can go for 4GB

    I´ve checked the usage of memory. It is always around 50%, even when dropouts occur. So this should not be the problem.

    50% could be where all physical is used and the swap file is used, the process of swapping memory in and out of the hdd can stall programs. Check that there is 50% of physical memory free.

    It is not possible to upgrade RAM in the Acer 340 :vmad:

    I´ve now listened to some hirez tracks stored on the Acer via Asset on my Laptop. Even over WLAN no Dropouts. After switching to Asset on the Acer again Dropouts. Reducing the tracks pointed to, it works without dropouts. Can you explain that?

    Must be memory, less tracks = less memory used.

    Hi Spoon, did some logging. Here is a picture that shows that Asset uses often 100% of CPU Time, always when dropouts occur. Do you have an explanation?

    Thx.

    Update: Yesterday i reduced again the number of tracks to approx. 1770 which asset points to. I had Dropouts and CPU time went up to 100% for asset process.

    I do not have any explanation, as asset does not do anything when serving a file 'as is', if I you log file indicated that Asset was doing nothing other than serving.

    Just installed Twonky 5 for whs yesterday. No dropouts. But I would prefer asset, so what might be wrong? Schall I install the Windows Version instead oft the whs v1 and give it a try?

    It would make no difference, as a test stop asset from serving (not playing) and see if the cpu usage spikes.

    OK, I´ve tried this. If asset is not serving there are some peaks, but not more than 3 % CPU Time.

    Tried this. Started playback, after Dropouts i pressed pause, no cpu time, after approx. 15 min i pressed play again, after some seconds dropouts with 100% cpu time

    PS: I could attach a graphics pic. How can I do that?

    Your previous image shows the cpu.

    For atom cpus as far as I know the atoms have 2 cores, if asset did 100% it would only be 50% because that is 100% of one core.
