Why is Windows (desktop versions) frowned upon as a home NAS/server OS? in c/homelab@selfhosted.forum
[–] Limeasaurus@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I've run a NAS from Windows Pro (and still do, unfortunately). I also have a server running TrueNAS scale and another running Linux Mint for NAS. My TrueNAS and Linux Mint servers are much better at reliability and uptime. The Windows server has reboots often and sometimes services don't seem to launch before login. This could be due to configuration issues but it's harder to find resources since very few people use it like this. I only have it for backing up family photos to Backblaze for $7 unlimited plan. If Backblaze offered this on Linux I'd leave in an instant. Also, ZFS is a lot better than storage spaces.

The PA1+ has an 8ohm 6.5 watt amp. We have 70V horn speakers which is why we need the 70V external amp.

I figured out I could download the XML config file, edit it, and upload it. The volume is now at 15 which is the max. It's made it louder, but it still seems less than my phone.

SNOM PA1+ with External Amp (alien.top)
 

We have a couple of SNOM PA1+ units using the lineout to an external amp's aux port. Everything is working correctly, except the audio is really quiet (two big PA speakers you can only hear if you are within 20 feet of at max volume).

If I remove the aux cable from the line out of the Snom and place it in my phone it's really loud and clear. I've tried hooking headphones to the Snom's line out and they are medium volume.

The volume is maxed to 15. I don't see an option to increase vol_speaker in the settings. I appreciate any help.
