Strange artifacts in mp3

<< < (3/3)

Oh well, it only happened once, and before that I had used my iPod for some 2 hours despite the constant glitches...  ::) I guess it could have been from the heat. Haven't had problems before that or after that.

maraz:
Okay, I did some research (and downgraded back to 13390). It's +11 outside and YES, skipping occurred during my cycling trip. ;D

I guess this rules out the possibility of the clock boost being the source of the problem. It makes it much worse, yes, but it does not cause it. Personally, I'm thinking the problem lies within the bootloader, since my problems started when upgrading a over-a-year-old build and bootloader to current.

Original iPod firmware runs fine and does not skip.

Llorean:
You shouldn't be using an SVN current bootloader, you should be using the one included with ipodpatcher (which is many months old, and is unlikely to be the cause as we would've had months for people to report the problems before reports started showing up).

As well, we've already discovered something is questionable about your unit specifically and heat, since you had difficulties with USB mode.

... which is what I'm using. I'm not crazy enough to compile anything myself. ::)

It would be interesting to know what it would be. Aside from the heat, problems seem to be very random. The device is about 1,5 years old though, surely the flash chip couldn't be at the end of its lifetime yet?

Hi, I too have the same problem with my nano 1st gen...  I used rockbox for 6 months without problems, updated builds every so often again with no problems.  I think the last time I upgraded without a problem was around June...  I even compiled my own build for the fun of it without problems again.
Now ever since the begginign of august (around) I attempted to upgrade my build and I 've had nothing but problems.   I hear noise in the playback.  Like you guys say Artifacts or whatever.. seems the song is playing a tad fast and eventually it starts buzzing out with weird sounds.  It seems i can listen to my ipod for about 2 songs untill the problem starts.  heat or not heat it does it everytime i play for more than 10 minutes.  This really sucks...  I can;t even listen to music anymore.   I have now downgraded build to 20070726  hopefully this will work I will let you know sometime soon after using it for a while.  If its any help i've had my nano for I think 2 years.. I got it shortly when it came out.

I sure hope you guys fix this cuz staying a few builds back would suck.
Thanks in adv,
SuPA
