Playback problems: mid-song skip
jmr:
Player: Sansa Fuze V1
Rockbox Build r27166-100628
As of late (sometime after the release of 3.6, I can't pinpoint which build) I've been encountering sporadic playback glitches. From time to time, mid-song, my player will jump to another song from the same drive for what I'm guessing is the length of the playback buffer, before returning to the original song. The affected MP3s are seemingly random, and it doesn't happen all of the time; if I cycle the power and start an affected song over, it plays through fine.
I've noticed that if it happens in a song more than once, it always 'jumps' to the same song. Also, if a mid-song jump occurs, it is often followed seconds later by a ~0.25 second skip ahead.
I formatted the player last night (using the OF) and reloaded all of my songs (again, using the original firmware), but it's still happening.
As luck would happen, this glitch happened again as I was typing this post:
-shuffling through all songs in my database:
listening to 'Soft and Common Grave' - CBR 192 MP3 on internal memory
at 0:33 - jumps to middle of 'Who Needs Sleep' - VBR 196 MP3 on internal memory
returns to normal at 0:34
0:53 - jumps to 'Who Needs Sleep' again, this time slightly later in the song.
returns to normal at 0:55
1:33 - minor skip in song
I restarted the player and loaded 'Soft and Common Grave' again, this time it played through without issue.
EDIT: It's also REALLLLLY annoying when it jumps from a quiet song to a really loud one, as it seems the replay-gain value doesn't get affected... my player just jumped from a quiet piano number (replay gain of -.80 db) to a Yakuza Heart Attack song (which has a replay gain of -17.25 dB). Frightened the, err, crap out of me.

This is a known issue, check today IRC logs for how you can help
suprman2020:
Has this issue been fixed? I reverted back to 3.6 because the problem started getting real annoying.
mannequin:
yes, it seems to be a serious issue, at least on my Fuze. does the "original" 3.6 release work OK cause i can't pinpoint when it started either.
funman:
It's still being investigated
3.6 should be ok, I don't know what "original" 3.6 is so I can't tell about it
