Last resort was to reinstall the original image I had, the file was a 0.3 beta(dated 4th March 2015), but for some reason after installation, the version showing under runeaudio webui's "credits" says im running 0.4beta(dated 20141216). And I still have quite bad stuttering when streaming anything above 16/44.1.
So, did I somehow inadvertently instal an older "nightly" build that refuses to go away even after a clean format and fresh install?
After quite abit of readup, it seems like I might have the old USB issue?
