I run rockbox on an h340 and have been having problems with certain
songs (perhaps only oggs?) pausing during playback. Like the previous
poster, this seems to happen independent of the file played and problem
files will later play perfectly fine. Unlike the previous poster, my
machine continues to play after a ~1 second pause and does not require a
hard reboot.

I started toggling settings expecting to find that database auto-update
or something was causing a problem with excess disk access or something.
  It turns out that turning off the EQ solved the problem. All I can
report is my limited experience. Perhaps this helps someone.


As an aside, I might as well mention that my machine DOES freeze and
require a hard reboot sometimes. This problem seems to happen only when
ending a recording from the internal mic. Sometimes the machine crashes
when saving the just-recorded file. A hard reboot will be required and
the saved file will be on the disk with a size of 0kb. This seems to
happen about 1/3 of the time I make recordings, and does not seem to be
dependent on file length. So far I have only tried recording in MP3
format.


PLUR,
