Sansa Fuze v1 Playback problems above build 27996
orbidia:
I searched and haven't seen this discussed anywhere yet so I started a new topic.
I've been using Rockbox on 5 different Fuze v1s (family etc) for a while.
The latest major change in the builds was the addition of full USB support which is very welcome.
Unfortunately for that to work, one must load the latest rockbox v1 firmware with mkamsboot. And then the last official rockbox release (3.6) no longer works. So I'm stuck using a build AFTER rockbox version 3.6 if I want the USB support.
It seemed like everything was going well up until build 27996.
But from 28001 nothing seems to work properly.
The same problems exist from r28001 until today's build r28159 (9/24/2010). I've tried a bunch of builds after r27996 on 3 different Fuze v1s with the same result. To fix everything, I need to format the drive and copy back r27996. Then everything works as intended.
Here is what I'm seeing on builds r28001 to r28159:
When I try to play any mp3, sometimes, it will work - but often it will just will show 0:00 on both sides of the status meter and nothing will play. On the very latest build, the left side played really low and it just played a low garbly static.
The times on the play status meter would often show the played time/elapsed time jumping from what seems like the correct time to a very large number (ten thousand minutes for example) and then back again quickly...
The battery meter would sometimes jump all over the place with thousands of percent being flashed.
I would play with it more but it is totally unusable.
Hopefully, someone can figure out what happened between r27996 and r28001.
I just want to make sure someone is aware this happened to the fuze v1 port...
Maybe some bad code got in by mistake and the automatic builds aren't being tested.
Does anyone else have the same problems with the latest builds on a fuze v1?
Lear:
The change that looks most likely is r28000 (FS #11597 : decrease FCLK frequency when unboosted).
Automatic builds are used, so if it was a common problem it should've been noticed by now, I think.
orbidia:
Yes, I agree that the problem should have been noticed. That's why I posted the problems.
Like I said, I've tried this on 3 different v1 fuzes. All of them have the updated rockbox firmware which supports full USB support. Maybe there is some incompatiblity with the updated firmware and the latest builds that no one has really tried.
I just know that I've tried 4-5 different builds since r27996 and they are all unusable.
Right now, I have r27996 and all the audio plays back fine.
So I know (hopefully) that I did the mkamsboot firmware update properly for Boot Ver. 2.0.
The USB support works fine too.
Here goes a current experiment ------ Starting with r27996:
I just plugged in the Fuze.
The internal memory shows up fine.
I select the Internal "SANSA FUZE" drive (M:) and I do a quick format - fat32.
Format complete.
I go download the latest r28166 for Fuze v1. Its on the desktop.
Unzip the folder to the Fuze v1. Done.
I'm trying to make this as clean as possible.
I've safely ejected the Fuze.
I'm shutting down and rebooting the Fuze.
On the bottom of the display, the info flashes:
First: Boot ver 2.0
Second: r28166-100926
Then it goes to main menu.
I'm trying to play a 320 mp3 song. No AUDIO is coming out.
Cabbie v2 is the theme because this was a fresh install.
The times for elapsed and total time looked correct but they are flashing:
It goes from 0:00 to 3452346234652457 (or something crazy big) and then jumps back to 0:00 for a second and then flashes again.
The screen goes blank because I haven't hit any buttons.
I tap the center button and the screen comes back on and now both sides of the status bar show
(elapsed) 0:00 (remaining) 0:00
No audio. No fast forward. I can get back the main menu just fine.
Let me try a flac file. Same exact thing. No Audio.
I tried to look at some album art. Seems to work.
I tried Minesweeper and Rockblox. They work but I don't here any audio (I don't know if they have any - probably now.)
I try to play another song from another album. The whole thing locked up on me. No buttons work. Wheel Volume - nope.
(Please note all the same stuff has been happening since r28001 with BOOT VERSION 2.0 i.e. Full USB Support)
The shut down button worked. Yeah!
Plugging in the fuze to the computer.
I format the Internal "SANSA FUZE" Memory the same as before.
I unzip r27996 back onto the Fuze v1.
I eject the Fuze.
Reboot Fuze? Yes
Bottom of screen flashes: Boot ver. 2.0 and then r27996-100904
Back to normal. Music plays back fine.
Status meters show (elapsed time) and (remaining time) properly.
So, I don't know if I'm doing something wrong or if something went wrong in the builds for the Fuze v1 from r28001 until r28166.
Can anyone confirm there is a problem? Maybe this is only a problem with Rockbox Boot version 2.0.
And if its me doing something wrong - I'm open to suggestions.
darlredfish:
Only playback problems I've had that's keeping my Fuze at 27995 is that I get a crackling white noise on track change using crossfade. It started after updating to the 8000+ build as well.
BigPapi:
My Fuze V1 with boot 2.0, build 28154-100923, is working just fine. I did not ever do the mkamsboot thought...I've always used the Utility.
