Rockbox

The key lock feature on my clip+ can be circumvented. Select the last title in a directory using the file browser. Then activate the software hold. When the song finishes the Player skips to the file browser and the key lock is turned off after a button press. You can navigate around the menus until you return to the playing screen, then the key lock turns on again.

This patch modifies bins.pl, manuals.pl and voices.pl to be smarter, just like the new w32sims.pl, adding a -r commandline switch, allowing the same script to be used for building both daily and release versions.

in svn settings_apply() is called whenever a config is loaded (after boot) regardless of what is in the file. even an empty one will cause a full settings_apply() (which is slow, causes disk access and will stop music thanks to the buflib users).

This patch will apply settings individually if they have a callback registered, and if no settings without a callback are applied it doesnt bother calling settings_apply().

I'm using the newest build of Rockbox (2007-07-21) with an iAudio X5 20 GB and I have my tuner set to the European region. I encounter two little flaws in the FM-radio. I think they partially have to do with the player's hardware, but maybe Rockbox can improve the quality a bit.

1. The player is really sensitive to movement. The signal strength differs with every meter that you take the player with you. On top of that, most stations sound like they're not correctly tuned, but I can't get them any better. Maybe Rockbox could be more accurate in frequency selection? (Like 101.100, 101.125, 101.150.) I can get these stations quite well on my home radio. I don't expect the same quality from such a small device, but some finetuning would be great. The only problem is that it would take a while to scroll through the frequencies, but once set it'd be fine.
2. (I assume this is very hardware related.) The radio signal may change between stereo and mono. I have it set to stereo, but sometimes it just picks mono. I guess this is because of the hardware, since it is place related. I also didn't find any potential bugs in the source code.

What are your thoughts on this?

Oh, and keep up this good work! I really enjoy Rockbox!

Obviously there is no one who wants to open a mp3 file with text viewer. With this patch applied, ‘Open With..’ only shows plugins that are associated in ‘viewers.config’. To see a full list of viewers plugin, just set the ‘Show Files’ option to ‘All’ and try again.

Some builtin filetypes are text file, so I added them into ‘viewers.config’ for the accessibility.

Use of the sleep timer deactivates the idle power off. Both should be independent pathways to shutdown. The Idle Poweroff should initiate shutdown if there is no playback and no keypress inside the indicated time. The sleep timer only is to use keypresses. However, the actual behavior is for the sleep timer to disable the idle poweroff. This is a bug. Instead of either or it (If … else if) should be two "If then .. If then" constructs.

The benefit is that you can save battery life if you leave the device on while player, or if you get interrupted. Currently, you can only do one.

To replicate:
use sansa clip, latest version. Set idle power off at 1 minute and sleep timer at 30 minutes (default). Play then pause for two minutes. Press volume button and note unit is on instead of off.

This is actually release 3.5.1

I have quite a few low bitrate .wma audio files that play fine in the original firmware, play fine in VLC, but skip, stutter, and hiss in Rockbox.

The file is 20kbps, 22 kHz, mono, Windows Media Audio V2.

I have attached a sample cut from a larger file. Like the original files, it plays fine in the original firmware and in VLC.

I used the official toshiba updater to get an “original” fresh install on my beast and then attempted to run through the install procedure for a single boot rockbox install. After a (seemingly) sucessful install I’d end up in recover mode after any reboot.

Fatal error when attempting to install nk.bin (rockbox only bootloader) using sendfirm in Windows to an updated (v1.2) Gigabeat S player.

After install of both bootloader and rockbox the Gigabeat S, once rebooted, goes into recovery mode (toshiba) and requires an update/restore. This is the Number 3 Triangle.

Notes:
Gigabeat was first updated using the official toshiba MESV12US updater. “gbs_update_1_2_us.exe”

Using SVN revision 19741 to compile nk.bin under WinXP and Cygwin.
Using MTP.zip of 7/4/2008 found on the wiki to send over the bootloader.

I suspect most devs updated their bootloaders using the sendfirm utility *before/without* updating the entire player with the updater utility from toshiba. Thus they started from a v1.1 OF and never updated any part of that.

Maybe the updater changes something in the bootcode. I don’t know.

The attached patch implements sinc based resampling in rockbox.
I have only tested it stand-alone so far (i.e. the code outside of rockbox – I am waiting for a replacement for my broken android phone to test it there).
There is (of course) quite some room for improvement.
Things which could be improved:
- buffer handling
- calculate the correct sinc spanning the whole table for downsampling. Then the downsampling and upsampling code would be the same (no need for sinc_increment, saving some additions). Also the result would be more accurate resampling.
- Save some memory by always calculating the correct sinc and putting it into resample_data. Would need to use fp_sincos() for that.
- Save some more memory by taking advantage of sinc's symmetry, only storing half of it in the table.

I know that I'm breaking the coding-style by using more than 80 chars in some lines. I will fix that when I have time. I wanted to get this code finally out to get some feedback after it sitting for two weeks (basically unchanged) on my HD.

This patch enables you to control the simulator using a named pipe to provide simulated keypresses, rather than the keyboard.

Unfortunately there is a bug that means that not all events seem to have any effect. On the e200 sim, I can use the scroll buttons to move in the main menu, but neither RIGHT nor SELECT lets me enter any of the entries. I suspect it's related to repeat or hold/release handling, but I'm not sure how to fake that properly.

This patch makes some changes to codec_api to help remove dependencies for my project.

The unused strcasestr callback is removed.

The global_settings pointer was being used by several codecs to check whether REPEAT_ONE mode is on; this has been replaced with a callback "should_loop()".

The MOD codec has been modified not to restart the file when it reaches the end. This does not affect MOD files that use "position jump" to loop part of the song. Ideally the MOD codec would only follow such loops if should_loop() returns 1, but detecting loops is nontrivial.

Been using Rockbox for years, so it was really obvious when things got messed up somewhere in 3.12~3.13. In a nutshell, with this release, in a 1000+ playlist, I’m listening to the same songs over and over again when shuffle is on. To fix the issue, I have to turn shuffle OFF and then flip it back to ON every time I start a player. Never had this problem before. Don’t know if this affects all devices or just my H340 (yes! still going strong!).

When the dc jack is plugged in to charge while the player is not running (switched off), the display says ‘ATA Error -11’. It can’t be reset except by removing the batteries and dc jack. I ran an older build from last year and it works fine.

When you configure Shortcuts to replace the Quick Screen then there is this unwanted behaviour:
Exiting the Shortcuts menu always returns to the Main Menu, not to the screen from which the Shortcuts menu was invoked by pressing the Quick Screen key combination.

Tested on: Sansa Clip+
Builds tested: latest daily - b7bc240-120409

			latest current -	2406005-120410

Short Next + Long Next causes a hang about 50% of the time. This was reported before and still seems to happen on the Clip Zip.

I have just now installed the latest stable version of rockbox (that would be 3.0) on an iriver h340. Unfortunately, it’s unusable at the moment due to some serious screen corruption. It sort of looks like this picture: http://img54.imageshack.us/img54/2263/iriver3qs.jpg, but is so much worse that it’s impossible to navigate the menus. If I wait for the backlight to go off, and then press a button, the screen looks fine until I start navigating, at which point the corruption resurfaces.

I’m really excited about rockbox, but this bug is a showstopper for me at the moment.

Thanks for looking into it!

Regards.

I navigate to any directory in the file tree, enter the context menu and set it as the recording directory. Then I go to the recording screen, cancel out immediately and return to the file tree.

There is now a new directory, in the same place as the directory I just set for recording. The new directory has exactly the same name except the final 3 letters have been removed, and it is this directory that has become the recording directory. The original directory is still there too, but now it does nothing.

The workaround is to create a bogus directory with 3 extra letters, then delete it once the bug creates the new directory with the truncated name.

Hello! I made this patch to add a separate backlight setting for the viewer plugin. By default the viewer plugin use Rockbox global backlight setting. For battery life, the backlight length would be usually too short in viewer, since reading a page may take more than 10 seconds. Bring the backlight on again by pressing buttons or wheel could be painful since it may cause unwanted effects (e.g. scroll to top/bottom of the text).

I added two options: Use global setting (default) and Always on. When setting to "Use global setting", everything should remain the same as before. When setting to "Always on", the backlight should never dim off. Changing the option during reading will immediately applies effect. I use the helper functions "backlight_use_settings" and "backlight_force_on" to achieve this.

Warning: since I changed the preference struct, after installing the new viewer.rock, all previous viewer setting will be abandoned and revert to default settings. You can backup your old viewer.dat (36 bytes), wait the new viewer.dat (40 bytes) be generated, and overwrite the first 36 bytes from the old viewer.dat to restore the setting. I don't know if there is a painless way for the transition. Suggestions are welcomed.

Thank you!

Recipe:
1) Play an album. Wait until buffering completes.
2) Skip from track 1 to track 2. No buffering occurs.
3) Skip from track 2 to track 1. No buffering occurs.
4) In the playlist viewer, select track 2. Rebuffering occurs, even though the track is buffered.

The same problem occurs in the opposite direction (e.g. after step 2, it should be possible to switch to track 1 using the playlist viewer without rebuffering).

The .ape file I join make rockbox produce a horrible noise (like random audio) when seeking inside it. The original file was very large, so I created this one with:
dd if=original.ape of=test.ape bs=512 count=1000
So the produced file may not be correct, but it plays correctly in rockbox, and reproduces the bug, so I join it…

If you build RaaA for SDL with HAVE_TOUCHSCREEN disabled there are no key bindings for the SDL_PAD in any of the plugins. This patch attempts to define generic key mappings for the 3×3 number pad on a typical PC keyboard. It needs work however. For instance, after a bit of testing I decided I’d prefer not to wait for a key repeat on the HOME button to quit most of the plugins. That said, it may prove a useful starting point developers building for RaaA platforms without a mouse or touchscreen. (Like me with the zipit.)

For the Zipit I plan to fix up the generic SDL keys first, testing on a real PC, and then try and figure out a way to use most of them as is. I’m not sure yet if it makes sense to define a ZIPIT_PAD for the few plugins where alternative keys make sense, or use some other #ifdef.

I use a 64 GB MicroSD card in my Clip Zip and the stock firmware recognizes it. Rockbox recognizes it in the debug disk info screen and when connected to a computer via USB, I can read and write it through rockbox. However, when I try to access it or when I just check the regular rockbox info, rockbox does not show the SD card, nor can I play music from it.

The bug is also present in the current development version and is overall very similar to this one: https://www.rockbox.org/tracker/11798

I tried reinstalling rockbox and reformatting the SD card, but nothing worked.

Scrolling the scrollwheel doesn't count as a button press for the Textviewer plugin's idle Timeout.

## This was tried out with Sansa Fuzev2 simulator version d392da8-140922, built from git on a 64 bit Linux system ##

I discovered something which seems to be a bug somewhere in the place where WPS get interpreted or rendered.

When I use a scrolling line just after a line containing sublines, the scrolling line stops scrolling as soon as the sublines change the first time.

Below are steps to reproduce it on the UI simulator for the Sansa Fuzev2. I think it also works without using a clear configuration. I haven’t tested with a real device, only with the simulator.

Attached are a .wps-file showing the buggy behaviour (’scrollline_after_sublines_bug.buggy.wps’), and a .wps-file working correctly (’scrollline_after_sublines_bug.workaround.wps’), which are the same files as quoted below.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE:

(0) Use Sansa Fuzev2 simulator version d392da8-140922, build from git on a 64 bit Linux system.

(1) Use a clear configuration, so erase

    .rockbox/.playlist_control
    .rockbox/config.cfg
    .rockbox/nvram.bin
    .rockbox/database.ignore
  in your 'simdisk' directory.

(2) Start the rockbox UI simulator

(3) Change the theme to ‘rockbox_failsafe’, i.e. in the menu, do the following:

• ‘Settings’ → ‘Theme Settings’ → ‘Browse Theme Files’ → ‘rockbox_failsafe.cfg’
• ‘Settings’ → ‘Theme Settings’ → ‘While Playing Screen’ → ‘rockbox_failsafe.wps’
• ‘Settings’ → ‘Theme Settings’ → ‘Radio Screen’ → ‘rockbox_failsafe.fms’
• ‘Settings’ → ‘Theme Settings’ → ‘Base Skin’ → ‘rockbox_failsafe.sbs’

(4) Use the following .wps-file as the “While Playing Screen” skin:

=⇒ # Two sublines:
Text1;Text2
# A long line, scrolling:
%sA very long text which is meant to scroll because it is longer than the screen is wide.
# Another line of just text (Not needed to reproduce the bug, but if it is swapped with the long line above, the long line scrolles correctly):
Textline.
#### Here the following Bug appears:
# When the Line ‘Text1;Text2’ changes the sublines the first time, the subsequent line stops scrolling. It happens when the sublines change; as when you use ‘%t(5)Text1;Text2’, the scrolling stops only after 5 seconds, when the sublines actually change.
⇐=

Workaround:
(4a) Put the scrolling line not directly after a line with sublines. The following .wps as the “While Playing Screen” skin works:

=⇒ # Two sublines:
Text1;Text2
# Another line of just text. Needed to make the long line scrolling correctly:
Textline.
# A long line, scrolling:
%sA very long text which is meant to scroll because it is longer than the screen is wide.
#### Here the bug does not appear, the long line scrolls corretly. But when the long scrolling line is put just below the line with the sublines, it stops scrolling as soon as the sublines change for the first time.
⇐=

I’ve been reliably informed that Rockbox should stop scrolling when it gets to the bottom or top of a menu, only to wrap around when you initiate a new scrolling gesture. On a 2nd Generation iPod, however, it just keeps scrolling.

See http://bertram.bourdrez.org/buggyrockbox.avi (the video is recorded with an old Rockbox, but 3.2-090323 does the same thing)

Also, the bug tracking system is overcomplicated. I have to register an account?!
“Why the hell should *I* set up an account? It’s not like any bugs will be assigned to me or anything. Just store my e-mail address and move on. It’s completely fucking bogus that I should have to go digging through my mail for confirmation passwords.” (http://zork.net/~sneakums/fortunes/gar/215)

Then I have to click a link with a magic number in it *as well as* having to enter a confirmation code from the same email (!?) and then when I’ve finished, I’m not even logged in! I have to log in with the same password I just set! Can’t it just set a cookie?

Adding last.fm scrobbling support to the Android version via one of the existing Android Last.fm apps is actually very easy - the log file approach doesn't seem to be compatible with e.g. the actual Last.fm app. Last.fm supports the scrobbledroid api. Adding scrobbledroid intents into the RunForegroundManager class adds support for scrobbling in about 10 lines of code. Attached is a patch to add in the appropriate intent creation and sending. This code could be modified to allow toggling via the settings page, but I don't know much about the native framebuffer code for the UI that is used by rockbox for android. I leave that to somebody else to implement if this is deemed to be too inflexible. I just want to submit this code so that others may enjoy last.fm support without having to jump through hoops to upload log files to last.fm on Android devices.

If you’re willing to produce a Human voice file (spoken by you or someone you know), this script will be particularly helpful. It expects you to put it in a directory with a subdirectory containing .wav files for all voice strings, named by the contents of the string (this will be problematic on FAT/NTFS, but could be fixed).

When run, it will check to see if all needed strings are available, and if they are, it will generate a voice-file for all targets. If they aren’t, it will print out a list of strings missing (to be recorded and put in the subdirectory). This list will also be put in the file “missingstrings.txt”, one on each line.

This might be suitable for inclusion in tools/

Edit: Script deleted. Will upload again soonish.

r29445 introduced problems with screendump on sansa e200 and e200v2 (and possibly more). Screendump works properly with r29444.

Steps to reproduce:

1. delete or backup existing .rockbox directory
2. install r29445 (or later)
3. reboot
4. navigate to System → Debug (Keep Out!) → Screendump and press select to enable
5. attach USB cable to trigger screendump

On e200, this results in:
*PANIC*
Stkov usb (0)

on e200v2, this results in a deadlock - no keypad response - backlight & button light never timeout. Upon reboot, multiple dump files exist.

On e200v2 only, when dircache is disabled, screendump will function properly.

Whenever screendump is enabled,It gets a panic error.

when deleting a directory with several files in it the splash screen, that is appearing when deleting the individual files, gets printed over the last one without clearing the screen prior to it.

First approach, to add dma read/write disk access to the sansa.

There are some restrictions on the dma functionality with this patch:
- only stabile at 80MHz ⇒ cpu boost control added to the driver
- only on 16byte aligned data ptr ⇒ all data are copied to/from aligned memory
- no interrupt support ⇒ using polling method

At 30MHz the driver is much more stable with the following PLL settings:
PLL_CONTROL = 0x8a221e0c; /* 30 MHz = (48MHz/12*30) / 4 */
CLOCK_SOURCE = 0×40007777; /* source #1, #2, #3, #4: PLL (#4 active) */

Reading seems to be in general more reliable than writing of the cards.
The data throughput is a little worse than in the current implementation.
This is partly due to the data copying.
The sporadical ‘2bytes inserted’ problem with the USB file transfer is still
there. Interestingly @30MHz with the above settings, there is another problem:
sporadically ‘2bytes missing’ and ‘2bytes inserted’. Perhaps the DMA transfer
needs some more initialization for proper synchronization.

Not sure how long this chronic bug has gone on but at least before the dubious move to git from subversion. I have had trouble on my V2s with freezing (appears like they are loading in the middle of a song but nothing is happening and you can't do anything) while playing and recently freezing when adding tracks to a playlist. I can take the microSD/transflash card out and stick it into a V1 Fuze and there is no problem, it will play forever and never crash. The V2s will crash minutes after playing, sometimes a track will finish, sometimes the same track will get stuck, one time it happened less than a second after beginning to play. No white screen of death, just a soft freeze and a blinking loading indicator. If you fiddle with it it will stop blinking and become utterly unresponsive. Have tried formatting cards, etc. V1 players work fine, V2 players are now junk under this firmware.

I don't know exactly how long this problem has been going on but it has been getting worse. Before the 30,000th SVN release, perhaps somewhere around 28000, I would be getting crashes occasionally with the V2s but nothing like this. My v2 players will unconditionally crash now after a short time. Rockbox is unusable for me on my V2 Fuze players. A lot of digging may be necessary to get to the bottom of this problem because I think it is buried under a lot of newer modifications.

I will not submit any sample music files (I know you guys always ask), this is problem exclusive to AMSv2 and I am sure by now that some Rockbox developers are aware of some issues that could be attributed to this sort of problem.

I upgraded my Sansa Fuze V1 (AMSV1) from the current stable release 3.11.2 to Daily build (ad46064-120710). With Rockbox powered on, any attempt to connect USB to my WinXP fails. The USB icon is displayed briefly, followed immediately by the white screen - Undefined Instruction at 0000003C. This is repeatable. Recovery is via a power down.

Note: the USB connection works fine with the current stable release 3.11.2 and this is the first daily build I have tried,

As Title says when transferring large files the player unmounts . Does not occur in ofw.

When connected to PC.
While transferring files from PC to Sansa e280v2.
Both source and destination folders are open.
Sansa shuts off after some time. while transfer is still happening.
this does not happen with original firmware.

In my customized rockbox theme, there is a short (half second?) but irritating delay before the progressbar is drawn. This delay is apparent when pressing a button to turn on the backlight, so it doesn’t show up in the simulator. Here is a video of the issue happening: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1LAfW8-BjjE

I’ve tried moving the progressbar to the very top of the wps. I also tried changing the wps around to have each icon in a seperate viewport which didn’t help.

I’m using rockbox version 27667.

Today I've experience something which IMO should not happen.

I recorded vian the built in micro on my Sansa e200 v1, paused the recording (not stopped!). In this state, I plugged USB cable. After that, there was the following text in the system font on the display, and the player did not respond to any keys. It had to be restarted via very long pressing at On/Off.

The text is:

*PANIC*

usb_storage_init_connection
(): 00M
pc:0006B878 sp:000D3538

  A: 00069978
  A: 00069F80
  A: 0005326C

bt end

I've reproduced this three time in a row.

I have the official version 3.14 installed.

Player: Sansa Clip+
FW: Rockbox 3.12, official stable build, but it happens on older versions too

While playing some FLAC file, RB skips to the next track automatically. I know there is a lot of similar bugs, but this is unique:)
Firstly, the problem is repeatable on my Clip. Skipping is always at one time, e.g. 00:19 for one file and 01:40 for other one. I think that these files are stored on corrupted part of SD card. OK, if it's corrupted then I have to buy a new one, but when I switch to original Sansa Clip+ firmware it play normally! At problematic places (00:19 or 01:40) there is a little 'click', but it continues to play. My conclusion is: if original FW handles such a files on bad memory, Rockbox should has workaround also.
Files are OK, when I copy them to internal memory, Rockbox plays continuously.
I didn't notice skipping of MP3 files on the same SD card, only with FLACs.
Computer players (e.g. AIMP) plays FLACs from this SD without any problems.

I've attached movies that presents the bug on 2 different tracks. Hope it helps.

Heyup,

I’ve recently updated the build on my zip and the radio volume is greatly reduced. It`s very noticeable since I use a passive speaker connected straight to the player (top volume required). Volume of file playback is unaffected.

Here’s someone describing the same issue-
http://www.anythingbutipod.com/forum/showthread.php?t=74910

Same symptoms including (notably) normal volume in the recording screen (gain=0), and region settings make no difference.

I have no note of which build I had before the update but it was from around the end of 2014. Looking thru the changelog yielded no clues.

trunk 983c808-150717

Sansa Clip Zip has big problems with Lossless files. BIG.

1) Flacs skips randomly, at every encoding level (5 or 8 it's the same) and it's impossible to reproduce this issue when I want. It skips to the next track randomly
2) Ape files stops to reproducing and makes a really big noise, this after 30 sec. or 3 min… or nothing at all.
3) Wavpack files, sometimes, stucks for 0.5 seconds and then, it continues to play. It happens to Fast encoding, or Normal encoding, it's the same.
4) AAC files make little noises and, sometimes, crash Rockbox.

Flac and APE problems, I'm sure, occurs from ages, I bought Clip Zip months ago and these problem occurred for every build and ofr every Rockbox release.

I don't think that my player's broken. These problems were previously posted by other people.

I think that the testing of builds were made too hastily, there are too many problems with lossless files. I can understand APE that requires an expensive decoding, but FLAC files couldn't have these problems :(

Sometimes my Clip Zip gets in a state where I can resume playback after booting it but then it doesn’t let me seek anymore (seek thingy still moves but then jumps back to where it was, playback is totally unaffected which in this case is bad of course). I also can’t pause or skip. I can go back to the main menu but I can’t move the cursor or go back to the WPS. When I go into the playlist by long-pressing down, the list usually appears but is not functional although here I can usually move the cursor up and down (sometimes I only get a kind of frame but rendering freezes at that point). Trying to shut down lets the “shutting down” popup appear but that’s it.

I seem to remember that going via “recent bookmarks” once was a workaround but in the current state this doesn’t work either.

This broken states persists between shutdowns (or well, switch-offs more like since shutting down doesn’t work). I also tried to recreate the playlist but that didn’t help either so I’m currently stuck with a player that will play but I can’t it make change what to play. I will also have to listen to the same podcast over and over again since no new resume position is saved.

The build I use is 42a725f.

Oh and sorry I didn’t choose the right player. Couldn’t find any Sansa Clip in the list in fact :/

I am reopening  FS#11501  - Sansa Clip v2 FLAC playback skips regularly, which was closed because a sample file was not provided. I didn't think this was necessary because I stated it happened regularly with just about any file.

I am currently on build 30217. It skipped for me last night on this track:
http://www.archive.org/download/johnbutlertrio2011-07-24.lsdII.flac16/johnbutlertrio2011-07-24_lsdII_t07.flac

I cannot attach the track to this ticket because it is larger than 2mb.

Again, it is nothing inherent in that track: a second playthrough did not skip. That 16-bit/44.1khz track was generated with FLAC 1.2.1b using normal procedures.

This problem has occurred for any build I've ever tried on a clip v2 player.

Here is my original problem statement:

Build 27566 (and all previous builds), Sansa Clip v2.

playback of 16-bit/44khz FLAC format regularly will skip ahead to next track.

in a 60 minute playback session, it'll probably happen 2-3 times. this is not due to a defect in the FLAC files. it happens with any FLAC set I attempt.

this does not happen with the Clip v1 on the same build number.

this is my first bug submitted. I searched for duplicate reports but didn't find anything.

thank you!

Sans Clip V2

24bit 96000 Hz 6 Channel (5.1) FLAC files skip to next song after 30 seconds. 30 seconds is an estimate because my screen is broken, so I can’t see what’s happening. I downloaded a daily build 3 days ago, but I think it’s a buffering issue. Flac is 8181 kbps (says Foobar).

It’s the first time I tried these files, so I don’t know if they ever worked, or ever will.
If they never will work, I’m sorry for reporting this.

Thank you all for your time and efforts.

On the Sansa C240 V1, to switch on the line level audio output on the dock connector pin 8 needs to go high. So jumping 3V+ from pin 22 will activate the line level audio. This works fine with the Sansa firmware but Rockbox produces no sound through the line level outputs on the C240, with pin 8 jumped or not jumped.

Hello,

i think rockbox is very nice. I use ist for several years.

Now i found a bug:
The Car Adapter Mode or rather the power-off does not work in the Radio-Mode.
I tested it with the versions 3.4 and 3.10.

Player Type = Sansa Clip+ (not available in chooser when submitting).
Release = 3.11.2

Recording at 48kHz results in audio that is 2.35% too fast. I believe it is recording at 49155Hz instead of 48000Hz. Recording at 44.1 kHz does not have this problem.

I have verified by putting 2 identical Clip+ in front of me, one set to rec at 44.1 other at 48.0. When playing back audio (on PC) difference in pitch is (barely) audible. And the audio falls out of sync as recording progresses (in video editor).

For now I’ll be happy to only record at 44.1kHz, but maybe 48kHz recording should either be fixed or dropped from Clip+ options.
