Ipod classic reversed stereo?

<< < (2/3) > >>

gbl08ma:
Make sure the sound channel settings are set to stereo... other than that, it might be a iPod Classic-specific bug, as it's still a target considered as "unusable".

Indeed - I've heard this repeated in various places, but never with any real evidence, and I have tested this with various models of iPod and with various Apple bundled headphones and have not seen this; left and right play the same as Rockbox, and it doesn't matter which headphones.

I haven't tried a Classic, though, so it is technically possible that we're doing it wrong on that specific target (which would just be a bug). Can someone else with a Classic comment?

Thrillo:
I just noticed this too while comparing the sound quality with other MP3 players.
I've also noticed that the balance changes depending on what the volume is set to. For example, if I turn the volume up I'll have to move the balance towards the left in order for the sound to remain centered. Not sure if it's just my specific Ipod, as I've never used the stock firmware on it.

hatakah:
Doing it on the Nano 2G now, too!
Don't know about my iPod 5G because it needs a new battery (won't hold a charge anymore :'( ) so I can't test on that one.
Any thoughts?

Hi all

I have just installed the latest build of emcore (from January 2012), which includes rockbox 3.10, on a spare ipod classic, and can confirm that the stereo field is reversed (I'm listening to my own music so it struck me straight away).

I had expected that rockbox would have an option to reverse the stereo field for cases like this (like foobar2000 does) or in any case that the user prefers (drummer - like my hi-hat on the left!) along with the myriad similar great features it has, but it doesn't seem to have one that I can find.

I am fully aware it's a very early 'unusable' build though :) thanks

edit: probably should point out that it's a 2009/10 160GB ipod classic
