ReplayGain not being applied consistently

(1/6) > >>

audioffile:
I noticed that some tracks on my player (Sansa e280) were distorting despite the fact that I have ReplayGain enabled and every track in my collection is scanned (at least for TrackGain (compilations), usually with AlbumGain too). So I did a little experimentation.

I set the Pre-amp in ReplayGain to something quite noticeable (-12dB) and scanned through my music collection. This made it easy to tell which tracks were getting ReplayGain and which were not. I found that maybe 30% of my tracks are not getting ReplayGain. Sometimes the issue is with an entire album, sometimes with just one or two tracks in an album.

I forced all my tags to id3v2 in foobar2k and then resynched. That did not help. I upgraded Rockbox to the latest release. Also didn't help.

Do the correct values show up in rockbox under the properties menu?

I don't think the properties show the replaygain values at all. The "Show Track Info" dialog from the wps context menu does.

yapper:
The Spartan Black E200 theme displays the Replay Gain values (if you have Album Art you will need to turn Hold on to see the RG values). If it shows No Tag, then check your tagging. I use foobar200 for adding/updating Replay Gain.

When I try to open the "Show Track Info" dialog playback stops and the device freezes. The only thing I can do at that point is shut it down. I think I need a better way to check my memory than chkdsk, because chkdsk is not finding anything.
