skipping in aacPlus

[LouisC]

hey guys. Any idea on why when I listen to an NSV feed that's using the aacPlus codec, the audio skips and splutters a lot?
aacPlus audio feeds are fine.

What version of Winamp are you using? Does this happen for all streams with aacPlus, or just a few?

what ken said and ......

we had a bit of splutter on our vp62/aac+ stream
first i put it down to hardware localy when this was eliminated as the cause,i checked buffer on the servers
and established that wasnt the problem.

Then i realised unlike other stations that use nsv/aac+
we stream using 32k v2 48000hz stereo sound which for some bizzare reason does not play back well on all viewers soundcards.
Ive personaly never had this problem even with crappy onboard soundcard on an old p3 machine.

also something you might want to look into is when you visit a website that contains flash this ive noticed,makes the sound choppy on aac+ streams.
Also third party plugins for winamp dsp and such ;)
do crazy things to nsv streams when played back.

if you post which station in particular do this
then it might be much easyier to eliminate the problem :)

it's on all aac+ nsv feeds. Even ravetrax :(
And i'm using the latest winamp.

hum, got me here.. is it the audio only aac+ or the video with aac+?

its the video with aac+ rava m8.
ive had a few friends say overnight too.

also a note anyone using aac+ never let your audio
fall silent !for some reason winamp goes into a mad buffering fit if you have more than 5 seconds of "dead air".
i noticed even ravetrax has this problem,while a live dj
was finishing last night he delayed in dissconnecting and left
about 10 seconds silence and ravetrax for the first time i could remember went into a buffering frenzy before the playlist audio kicked in. :(

odd... it doesn't do this for me...

i have my buffers adjusted though.

/me goes to investigate.
