why is the sound so bad?

Hi,
I've been using rockbox on ihp-120 earlier, and the sound used to be superb with equalizer
i sold it two days ago  :(

Now i try to use rockbox with ipod 5.5 30gb and the sound is so bad!
If i raise bass, instead volume raises
and the sound is even flatter than original ipod's firmware.

 :'( really want old good rockbox work on ipod, please help

bluebrother:
Well, I'm just guessing, but from a direct comparison between h120 and ipod mini I noticed the iriver being _much_ better in terms of sound quality. So my guess it's simply the hardware is much inferior on the ipods.

Llorean:
As for the "sound is even flatter than the original ipod's firmware", do you have any objective comparison? I don't believe there's any testing so far that has suggested Rockbox's sound output, with flat equalizers, is wrong.

lifeisogood:
ok,
as I said i tried to raise some bass, but i noticed that the music just became louder, not the bass itself,

ipod's firmware has so little of bass,

ihp-120 used to have great bass with rockbox,
but on my ipod with rockbox, the bass is worse than original firmware's bass,

middle's and high's are ok enough, though the highs are not very clear.

it just doesn't feel right,

what's wrong???
could it be because of 5.5 ?

Llorean:
"It just doesn't feel right" is not objective comparison. Could you run an RMAA or something?

As well, the "Bass/Treble" settings on the 5.5G are nearly useless, try using the Software Equalizer
