Is anyone having hand shake problems between the computer and Music Streamer 2+.             
 Do you know a fix?

I have the Music Streamer II+ and have not had any problems. I'm using MacBook Pro with Snow Leopard OS.

No problems for my + and Macbook Pro.  Are you using PC or Mac?  If your using a Mac, open up the system preferences and click audio, then make sure the HRT is highlighted as the digital out.

I'm using a PC. All  you mac guys don't seem to have problem. Anybody with a PC?

I'm using a PC and Windows Vista 64. No problems at all.

maybe I got A bum unit. This has been an ongoing problem from day 1

Maybe try creating a new user profile.  Then see if the HRT works on the new profile before anything is done to it.

FWIW, under Ubuntu I had to go into sound settings to tell it to use the usb out for my Streamer II+.
 
I'm assuming you're on Windows - you may need to tell the system to use the usb out, though if memory serves it *should* be p n' p.

Try using a powered USB hub if you are not doing so already.  I have the Music Streamer II with a Mac Mini and it wasn't getting enough juice from the Mini's USB ports and would cut out after a few minutes.  I got a powered 4-port USB hub and connected the HRT to that.  Works fine now.  This is a known issue with the II, not sure about the II+.  Some folk on the internets have also reported that some computer USB ports have more juice than others, even on the same 'puter.  ymmv.

The II+ here. I get the hum and noise now and then but really it's all about getting a powered hub.

Could be the USB port itself. I know on my Asus Eee PC 1201N, I have two ports that stay on all the time, and one that turns off when I power down. Something about 5V vs another. Not exactly sure on the values. In short, try a different port.

Trying a different port has helped some. I still find myself rebooting from time to time. I thank you for your reply. Also all the others who have piped up to give advice.

Are you getting a powered hub?
