a very generic "how's it going?" question

is this OOTB or do I have to enable it?

Thanks

MC Options > Audio > Audio Device and select one of the hw: outputs for your DAC if available.

Scobie:
OK so this setting is specifically for a connected DAC, I guess if I'm only ever talking DLNA to connected devices it's of no use.

Works fine in Xubuntu but not in Lubuntu (at least for me).

Better to have at least 4GB of RAM and faster processor than the minimal required in Windows. JRiver works extremely well on a Windows machine even with minimal specs, but will often choke or freeze frequently with the same lower specs on Linux -- Likely due to the fact that the software is being ported and not really originally designed to run natively in Linux. I've noticed the same thing happen with many linux programs ported to run in Windows like Gimp and other media editing programs. I have four OLDER laptops and I can't say I enjoy using JRiver on them as much as I do with Windows -- quite frustraing actually. That's just my experience. If you have newer/better spec'd computers with Linux you'd probably be mostly okay(?) though. Computers are getting faster anyhows. But then again, the thing is, I prefer Linux on my older machines and would rather run Windows on my newer ones -- except if it's something like a rasberry pi.
