Godawful sound after second or third song (was: Rockbox help)

(1/3) > >>

chickfilafan:
I'm not sure if this is in the right forum or not but I just downloaded Rockbox for the first time it installed fine and everything but when I play songs after the second or third song it plays some god awful sound and when I try to skip the song the next song shows the file name that is on the iPod (the four letter thing). I tried to search the forum for this same problem but I couldn't find it. Thanks.

Febs:
Welcome to Rockbox!

Does this happen on all songs, or only on particular tracks?

(By the way, it's always appropriate to post a question in the General Discussion forum if you're unsure where it belongs, so that was fine, though I'm going to move the thread to the Audio Playback forum.  Also, I've renamed your thread with a descriptive title, as required by our posting guidelines.)

Check your WPS, if it says that the artist is Leona Lewis then that might be the root of the problem ;)

Sorry, couldn't resist.

Please could you let us know a bit more info:

a) The Rockbox revision you're using - visible in System > Rockbox Info.  This is a number prefixed with r; for example, the latest revision at time of writing is r16639.  (If you're running an old version somehow, please try the latest and see if it fixes it.)

b) What format is your music in?  MP3/OGG/AAC? - bitrate?  Are all tracks the same format, or do you have a mixture of types?

c) Are you using Album Art?  Are you using EQ?  Are you using crossfade?  It might help pin down the source of the problem if you can turn features off one at a time.  There's a known issue reported with crossfade here: http://www.rockbox.org/tracker/task/8651

d) Which sort of iPod do you have?

Also have you made sure that these files aren't corrupt and playback properly on your computer?
