Welcome to the Rockbox Technical Forums!
dr.pheel & simon142857: I've not tested the backlight function in a while, but my post back a couple of pages may explain the issues you're having:Quote from: whatboutbob on February 07, 2006, 11:12:54 PMSomething worth mentioning on the clipping indicator though...its not an exact tool...hence neither is the cliplight. It is possible to clip without triggering the indicator. The issues are at least twofold...but I'm running off memory here, which is unreliable at best. I believe clipping needs to exist over two samples before its triggered (eg one loud clap won't trigger it). Apparently it can also get false positives, and just not fire other times. In other words, don't put complete faith in it.So in short, a clap will not trigger the backlight, regardless of whether it clips. Extended clipping will trigger the backlight...scream into the mics...see what happens. Warn your neighbours first maybe...you don't want cops turning up at your door wondering who's being murdered.

I've downloaded the 2/22/06 build but can't see the clip light setting option in recording settings. I verified the cvs is 2/22/06 so the files were extrated ok. Is there something more I need to do?
What sort of 'performance problem' are you referring to? Just battery drain, or something riskier?
Don't spose you feel like tackling optical recording? I'm hanging out for it, along with quite a few others, but it doesn't seem like any of the devs want a bar of it.
Petur: Sorry to report that using the bleeding edge build I can still clip without triggering the backlight...both with short bursts (eg clapping) or more prolonged clipping (~5 seconds). I'm sure there's a method to the madness but it seems completely random as to whether or not the backlight's triggered. Lemme know if you have any q's.
just a quick check: was the harddisk spinning as you tested this? because it won't do anything while writing to disk.I'll try to dive into the code again... somebody donate me some time
petur, you are a H340 user ?Shouldnt that enhacements pack work on a H300 too, after slight tweaking ? *scratches head*
Your changes in pcm_record work like a charm. Now it really detects any single clip, at least on the build I'm running now (base is 060214 with rec enhancement patch and modifications by me).I'm writing an AGC (automatic gain control) at the moment. It's mostly finished and just needs some more tests until I'll provide a patch. Now the AGC works even better with the new version of pcm_record, much more accurate leveling. Thanks alot!
