sansa e200 comparatively quiet compared to other targets?

<< < (2/2)

Llorean:
Just as a note, the volume being louder in the original firmware doesn't actually prove anything. You can make the volume louder in Rockbox by applying digital gain, but that doesn't change what the analog gain range is.

So, while something may still be wrong with the hardware setup in Rockbox, please don't say it's "definitely" an issue unless you're prepared to show that either the original firmware applies no digital gain (unlikely as the Loud setting is almost certainly applying, or adding more, digital gain, and as you can't get the volume as soft in the OF as in Rockbox, it's quite possible they've already added some in the normal mode) or that you know what needs to be changed in the hardware use.

I may have been a little rash with my choice of adjectives, I was simply trying to show the (obvious, I know) difference in volume between the firmwares.

I have some low impedance headphones (E2C's - 16Ohms) and I have to crank the volume to around -6db at home, and if I'm out and about then 0db+ is necessary (with my old iPod, volumes: ~-20db and ~-10db respectively). I haven't used my Sansa in my car yet but I'm guessing i'm going to have to really crank up my car stereo too.

Might have to try the PreAmp...
