Constant clicking problem (ipod 5g)
PinkZeppelin:
Is it normal for the DAC to make a moderately loud popping noise when shutting down rockbox?
PinkZeppelin:
Also there seems to be a constant low background clicking noise. Turning the volume up also creates a louder clicking noise that occurs whenever I move around the scroll wheel.
I am using an Apple 5G
PinkZeppelin:
Well, the DAC popping on shutdown occurs in the Apple Firmware as well, so I guess it isn't a rockbox thing, so it is really a non-issue.
But the low clicking noises and wheel moving noises do not occur in the apple firmware.
Does anyone else hear the low constant clicks and wheel movement clicks in rockbox?

Just because the Apple firmware also has a certain bug doesn't mean we shouldn't try to fix it in Rockbox...

Some people have reported this before - but others (including me) don't experience it. What iPod do you have, and what kind of music files (format and bitrate) ? Do you get those clicks with all your files, or just some?

I am using an Ipod Video 5G (black), virtually all my music is in Wavpack, but the clicking starts right after the unit is turned on, regardless of codec.
The sound is a constant, quiet and rhythmic clicking and seems to only occur on the right side of my cans (Sennheiser 280Pros). The wheel movement noise is easy to reproduce - pause music, then turn up the volume. I start hearing a faint clicking noise (this noise also seems only to be in the right channel of my headphones) while moving the wheel when I turn the volume to -11db. Increasing the volume further makes the wheel noise much more pronounced, and also increases the rhythmic clicking volume.
