Let us know if that is still demonstrating the same problem. If its not, then change your options one at a time back to what they were pre-reset until you find the gremlin.
Are you running the headphones out of a remote btw, or out of the main unit?

I'm running sw 060604-1858
I went into "Manage Settings|Reset Settings" and did a play to reset. However, even after the reset, and powering off and back on, my h140 still enters the recording screen and the mic. gain is still set to what I set it to. So, why did my "Reset Settings" not clear the Recording Screen at Startup and my mic. gain? (I really did try to RTFM, to try and reset settings by holding down a button at startup, but I couldn't find what button to hold and I tried a bunch to no avail... do I need to delete some file to reset settings?)
Regarding the headphones coming from the remote or main unit, I get the same behavior from both.
Mmmm:
When rockbox asks you to press play (when resetting) it means click the joystick in. To reset at startup just press the on button to start and then hold down the record button (it will say "cleared" in the centre of the screen.

Ah... worked great, thanks. Note that Page 12 of the latest PDF manual for the iriver shows a picture and both in the picture and text, Play is the button above Stop and the joystick press is Select.
Back to the issue at hand...
After doing a reset, if I change ONLY "Show Recording Screen on Startup" to "yes" then power off and back on, I have the exact same problem (except I'm obviously using the internal mic instead of my external mic).
So, on my h140, reset to default, change "Show Recording Screen on Startup" to "yes". Every subsequent power on requires me to press Stop then Play to exit and re-enter the recording screen before any audio comes from the headphones. Happens both on the remote and main unit.
Is no one else with a h120/h140 seeing this with the REP sw build I'm using? Again, it's build 060604-1858. Is there a newer REP build one I should be running?
I may be able to get access to another h140 to try, if the concensus is that it might be my hardware.

Ooh, That'll have to be changed then! :) Febs!!! Top right is the On/Pause button joyclick is Play/Select.

Well I'm using exactly the same build as you so that isn't the problem....
I must say I'm a bit stumped....It seems unlikely to me that it is hardware but it seems to be pointing that way... hmmmm I'll keep thinking about it.
Ps. this thread now has more postings than any other on the whole forum!! wow! :o

Ok, I was able to try a virgin h140 just off ebay. Loaded the bootloader and loaded REP rockbox build from my hard drive and it worked?!? Then, I looked at the version and saw it was an OLD REP version, 060506-1452. This version was from May and didn't include digital input (which I don't care about anyway). However, the important thing to note is that it worked fine (i.e. I immediately got audio from the headphones on powerup without having to press Stop/Play to exit/re-enter the recording screen).
So, I then downloaded 060604-1858 from Mmmm's sig, and when I boot it up, I get exactly the same broken behavior described earlier in this thread.
So, now I'm curious what changed between the builds to cause this? Because these builds were built at different times from different patched sources, is it true that diff-ing the source from the two builds is near impossible to see what's going on? If not, I'm game if someone can point me to the correct places in the souce tree & patches. Alternatively, if anyone has the two source trees for these builds, I'd love an email of them (PM me if you're willing to send them).
Mmmm, do you have an h120/h140 or have your tests which worked been on another iriver model?
