Sansa e250: No FM Tuner with Rockbox?

(1/4) > >>

taliesin1077:
I have a 2GB Sansa e250 with an FM Tuner.  I've verified it works when I boot the original firmware. However, when I boot into Rockbox, I have no option for FM Radio on the main menu, and in Debug Mode, the FM Tuner section says that no Hardware is detected.

Further information:
The very first time I booted Rockbox, I saw the FM Radio option on the main menu.  I listened to radio.  Thereafter, it has not worked.

I set the start screen to be FM Radio, and I get the FM Radio screen, but no radio comes through the headphones.

Yes, I have booted into the original firmware a couple times, and the radio HW still works, so I don't think it's a borked tuner or anything of that nature.  More like the Rockbox firmware doesn't like my tuner.

Thoughts?

On my c250 the radio sometimes is there, and sometimes it isn't. Maybe rebooting a few times makes it show up ?

taliesin1077:
I've booted 5-7 times today, and it's consistently not shown up.  As I said...the first time I booted into Rockbox, it was there.  It's not been there since then, and the hardware isn't detected, either.

I forgot to mention what version of Rockbox I am using...I apologize.

I don't have the opportunity to install another build of Rockbox until tonight, but I was curious if anyone else has experienced this problem, and perhaps has a solution of some sort?

THank you for posting this.  I was trying to scan through the bug reports, but couldn't find anything.  I was primarily searching on FM Tuner, etc.

So this is a current bug, and no one knows why it's doing this.  Too bad, because aside from that, Rockbox is the only firmware I use on my Sansa.  Having to boot into the original FW is just annoying when I want to listen to Bob and Tom while I work out in the morning.
