I just installed Rockbox, and everything seems to be running fine, but there's no sound, not over headphones or line out.  ??? I used this bootloader from the iAudio Installation page:

Attachment  Action  Size  Date  Who  Comment  
x5_fw.bin  manage  53.4 K  11 Jul 2006 - 21:07  LinusNielsenFeltzing  Bootloader v2 for iAudio X5  

Any ideas??

Thanks, Regine

LambdaCalculus:
Try this one instead:

http://download.rockbox.org/bootloader/iaudio/

Also, check your sound settings. If you can, attach your config.cfg file so one of us can check it. You can find it in the /.rockbox folder on the root of the device.

I have the same problem with my iAudio X5.  The MP3 files 'play', but there is no sound.  There IS sound with the FM Radio.  The headphones work fine, and the radio works fine, there is only an issue playing mp3's.  I tried updating the firmware using the link in this thread, there was no change.
Here is the contents of my config.cfg file  

# .cfg file created by rockbox r15034-071008 - http://www.rockbox.org

volume: 0
bass: 7
treble: 7
shuffle: on
repeat: shuffle
statusbar: off
time format: 12hour
background color: FFA049
show files: playlists
beep: weak
crossfeed: on
dithering enabled: on
tagcache_ram: on
tagcache_autoupdate: on
font: /.rockbox/fonts/uwe_prop.fnt
wps: /.rockbox/wps/S3T_005.wps

Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you.

I am having an identical problem. iAudio X5L (30GB). Installed Rockbox and everything appears to be working except one major thing - it produces no sound. I have tried line out aswell as phones jack (which I have wiggled). The earphones are functioning. The volume is to the max '6db' (I hav etried it at other end of scale aswell!). I have uninstalled and re-installed. I am at a loss. The track is playing at normal speed. The audio bars are reacting to the sound levels.  I drained the battery outright. pressed the reset button at the side. It hasn't worked. I'm really stumped. The beep volume is set to moderate but I hear nothing. I have installed the bootloader as linked to in a post on this string. Still won't work. The device functions normally in every other way. No sound with my radio either! Also when I record, even though it is set to mic it records no sound. Its really bizarre

I tried reverting to iaudio firmware but I got the same problem that prompted me to use rockbox (i.e. iaudio freezes on startup on the 'iaudio screen')

I am using rockbox version 15040M-071008
Buffer: 13.534 MB (I often get 'Dir buffer full')

I have attached config file. I notice there quiet a few posts on 'no-sound' but none that I can see with a solution that may apply to me.

My config apparently states:
# .cfg file created by rockbox r15040M-071008 - http://www.rockbox.org

volume: -12
rec format: mpa3
mp3_enc bitrate: 96

Any help appreciated.
