Sounds like the silence cutoff doesn't work as expected. What voice
are you using? Are you using the same voice on both players? Have you
changed any settings for voice / encoder between those two?

That doesn't belong there. There's something wrong with your voice
file -- between those two entries there's "Constrain Auto-Change".

No -- it's using wrong items. This happens when the file containing
the texts is wrong. Which shouldn't happen when the installation
works. I'm seeing a couple of possible reasons here:

- When installing Rockbox you ran out of space on the player, which
corrupted that file. Rockbox Utility checks for that, so it shouldn't
happen, but maybe there is a corner case where this still can happen.
- You have filesystem errors, which led to that file not being updated
properly. I consider that the most likely reason.

Some time (years) ago Rockbox Utility retrieved the strings from the
website. I don't know if this is still functional, and even if I don't
think that would be a good idea -- if the voice file on the player is
damaged (or somehow wrong) you clearly have an issue with the player.
Getting the contents of that file from somewhere else won't fix that
but just hide the problem.

I can generate a voice file just fine for my Clip+ running 3.14. There
is a problem with your installation. We cannot fix that in Rockbox
Utility.

Check the filesystem for errors, fix them (if any) and reinstall
Rockbox, then recreate voice files. If that still fails uninstall
Rockbox first (remove the .rockbox folder -- make sure to backup your
settings first.)
