Distortion Problem on Sansa

(1/9) > >>

Vortex:
Hi everyone,

I recently noticed that some sounds, especially sharp "s" or "z" sounds, where somehow distorted on my Sansa. The files play fine on my PC, without distortion.

I have, however, found a workaround for the problem: Enable the Equalizer and set the Precut to -5dB but leave all other settings untouched (i.e. leave the graphical EQ at the "flat" default setting). The distortion then disappears.

It doesn't matter what the volume is set to (I usually listen to music at -20 to -30 dB), without the "precut trick" the distortion always occurs.

Can someone confirm this on their device?

How recent is your Rockbox?

Vortex:
I am using your latest build, so it's fairly recent. ;)

This problem also exists in the official SVN version.

distortion in sansa? huh? I've never noticed about that,for me thats weird,sansa now works almost flawlessly

cpchan:
Yes, it is there. I guess you are a lot more sensitive to this particular artifact then most of us.
