I had that happen to a pocket digital voice recorder once. Best thing I can
figure is that it took a static hit of some sort. Probably set the LSB in a
clock divisor register somewhere. Doing a hard reset cleared up the problem
while erasing all my saved memos and phone numbers :-( The archos version of
a hard reset would be to flash a different version of Rockbox which will force
a configuration reset. Assuming you're running flashed rockbox. If you're
not running flashed, this might be a good time to try it.

If that doesn't work then you may have more serious problems.
