Problem with bass in the last builds

(1/2) > >>

Hi,

I am having bass problems in the last builds on my ipod 80Go. When i put the bass to 8(the settings i had for a really long time), the sound gluts, by that i means it deformed with a lot of noise when there is basses. it s almost impossible to listen to. I even think i still have the problem when there is no bass but a lot less audible.

I tried with a clean install of an official build. Nothing changes

Any idea where it could come from?

Febs:
The additional gain that you are adding is causing clipping.  Try this:

1.  Turn on the equalizer, but keep the gain on all of the equalizer channels set at 0.

2.  Adjust the "pre-cut" setting to -8 dB.

3.  Raise the volume to compensate for the gain you reduced through the pre-cut.

If you're talking about an iPod Video, up until recently the Bass setting did nothing but raise the volume. That's been fixed now, so maybe that's why you're having problems.

carmenm:
Oh i didnt know that the bass was only raising the sound :D I forgot my ipod right now but i ll try tonight Febs
Thanks a lot

Ok, just for people to know, it works like a charm. At last i have a sound close to what i had on my H3x0. I think maybe there should be a page on the wiki dedicated to that particularity of the bass on Ipods. It s not easy to understand and a lot of people might be confused about that.

Anyway thanks a lot Febs, i just love Rockbox more everyday!
