Putting the sound settings menu back during playback

(1/4) > >>

reppie:
I notice now since October it is no longer possible to go directly to the sound settings when playing music back and instead you are returned to the root menu. This is incredibly annoying as my usual thing is to adjust the bass and treble from time to time (mostly turning down the bass when increasing the volume and vice versa). It now requires  two more button presses and is impossible to navigate blindly. I know two button presses sounds like I am being lazy but when one uses the bass/treble so frequently it really isn't.

I have had a look around for tips on restoring this function but to no avail. Is it possible I can reconfigure this myself without recompiling anything?

Llorean:
There was never a "Sound Settings" button. Perhaps you're thinking of the context menu. I'd strongly recommend reading the manual, and making sure you're familiar with the current button mappings.

reppie:
Sorry, what I meant was the button that brings up the context menu now goes to the very start, previously it went to settings where I could then just enter into sound settings and adjust the bass. I would like to return the functionality to how it was around the October builds before it was changed. There are no other keys (on my sansa) that I can press to make it go back to settings instead of the root.

I don't honestly see the point of going all the way back to the menu that shows

files
database
now playing
settings
etc

Considering most of those functions will stop playback and do something else.  You can very quickly get there by pressing select and left-left-left-left or the power button.  In fact there are two buttons on the sansa e280 that do the same thing (power and select).

Llorean:
Power and Select do not do the same thing.

Meanwhile, the context menu was not removed.

I suggest again, much more strongly now, that you read the manual.
