Original Squeezebox only: I have some audio files or radio stations that do not play when using the digital outputs on my Squeezebox, but do with the analog. Why?
What you should probably check is the sampling rate of the audio file or stream in question. If it’s lower than 44.1kHz, that could explain why it’s not working with the digital output. S/P-DIF, the signal sent over the optical and coaxial digital outputs, supports sampling rates of 44.1kHz and 48kHz. Some receivers may auto-sense whether a digital or analog signal is in use, as well. If your receiver supports digital and analog connections for the input you are using, you may want to connect both. That way, when an audio signal that is not compatible with S/PDIF is sent to the Squeezebox is sent, your receiver may automatically switch to the analog input.
