Sansa Fuze+

[Rarog]

I'm not sure if this is a one-time glitch or something which can happen occasionally. For some resons rockbox played after every song on an album some seconds of other music (with time counter of the song of the album with negative count) before beginning playing the next song. I checked the filesystem and tried the music files on my PC and everything is ok. So Fuze read some other sectors/clusters which didn't belong to the song files.

Interesting. I haven't been getting that.

Does it happen on just the Fuze's drive or on a microSD card as well? Could be the File allocation Table is corrupt? Reformatting it may help.

[Rarog]

It was on SD card and I already checked it under Linux and Windows, it's correct.

I can no longer delete files nor write files to the onboard memory.  It appears to work but when switched off & on again there is no change.  Deleted files are still there & written files are not.
I can navigate the file menu ok but the database no longer functions.
Tried to resort to the Sansa OS but although the root directory appears to accept the original sb file it's not actually being written to disk.

@beezeer38:
Have you tried formatting the internal memory from within the OF?
Or going into the OF USB mode instead of Rockbox?
With the player off, hold vol-down while plugging in the USB cable.

@dev
May I suggest that the keymap for mpegplayer be modified?
Left and right nav keys control fast-forward and re-wind.
Usually this would be logical, however videos are played in landscape orientation so left/right becomes down/up.
I'd do this myself, but I don't know how. Plus I believe it's worth committing.

[beezeer38]

I've tried formatting the internal memory via the sansa menu & windows but both fail.
Quick format via windows fails immediately whilst full format appears to be working but fails as it appears to complete.

@beezeer38:

I had the same issue with my Fuze+ and didn't find any solution to it. Pamaury helped to perform some test on the device but we didn' find any solution.  

- Where you using the database a lot?
- how old is your device?

[beezeer38]

13 months old.
Started using Rockbox about 3 weeks ago.
Tended to navigate via the database rather than the file menu.
I have approx. 4000 audio files on internal memory & 3000 on a 16Gb external card.
Although I can no longer make changes to the internal memory I can change files on the external memory.

[Rarog]

Hm... Is it possible to try to repartition the device?

[metaphys]

@breezer:
Yeah that was about my experience too. Except I had used rockbox since 3 month as the problem occurs... It could be a hardware defect as we are only two with the problem. Or might be related to the database? I used to use the database a lot to build a random playlist of every files (16gb + 32 sdcard)
@Rarog:
It wouldn't help. The mmc interface report success on every operation althrough it DOES NOT perform them :/

[beezeer38]

Tried reformatting, partition wipe & partition delete.
All appear to do what they say but at the end of the process there is absolutely no change to the contents of the internal memory.
Looks like I'm stuck with just using file access & making any changes to external memory.

[megal0maniac]

Fuze appears to be making quite a bit of noise when changing volume.
Especially when reaching 0dB and +2dB
(There is constant noise from +2dB and above. Spikes on on every other change.)

I've noted the dB value which was reached as the spike occurred.
I've tested this with headphones, earphones, studio monitors as well as my laptop's onboard soundcard.

When decreasing the volume, the larger spike occurs when you reach -1dB as opposed to 0dB.



Has anyone else experienced this?

[RipCurl]

Yep, I also have this noise.

Additionaly I can hear a beepy sound whenever I scroll through my music/menus and the music is turned off. Then, when I choose a file to play there's a noise (for about a half second) which is probably because of the buffering/loading... Maybe the audio output is in some kind of direct relation to the navaigation/ buffering...

EDIT: I use the Superlux HD661

[megal0maniac]

Strange, because it didn't behave like this before. Unless I was really being that ignorant...?
