SanDisk e280 - nothing but noise

<< < (2/4) > >>

saratoga:
If you're getting electrical noise, then its probably broken.

basquiat:
Ok, after playing around a bit, I think I found the show stopper. In the original firmware, Sansa offers a setting for "normal/high volume", where "normal" is sometimes to low for some type headphones, so it was set to "high". After setting this to "normal", Rockbox played my music the way it should.

I played around with some games, as the strange noises reappeared. I switched back to music and lowered the volume there, which got me rid of the noises again.

After all, it's still a bit strange behaviour, but controllable now.

Thanks for your help, guys, and thanks for Rockbox!

saratoga:
The OF settings don't change anything in rockbox, so the High setting is irrelevant. 

basquiat:
Well, after changing the volume settings back in the original firmware, things still work, so you are right and I'm a bit lost, since this was the only step I made form "does not work" to "works" at that moment.

ADDENDUM:

Noises reappeared again after playing "Minesweeper" for a while (the first time they reappeared I was playing "Xobox"), and I did not manage to get the device back to normal (undistorted) state. The original firmware still plays all music without a glitch, so I really think it's not a broken SanDisk, but a Rockbox issue here.

Sorry about the confusing infos here which most certainly are not a valueable help yet.

Llorean:
It seems likely that if it were solely a Rockbox issue, we'd have many more reports of this. It doesn't sound like a minor issue.

I'd rather suggest that your player might have some hardware flaw that shows up because Rockbox does things a bit differently than the OF.

As it stands, though, nobody can really help you until we know more about the problem, and you're the only person who can investigate it at this time.
