Hey everyone, I'm new to Rockbox and I've searched in the wiki how to install it on the X-Fi3.
But I've been unable to make it work. Can somebody help me or give me a link with instructions ?

Hi,
this wiki page contains all the information you need: http://www.rockbox.org/wiki/CreativeZENXFi3Port.
First you'll need to install rockbox it, you can download the latest daily build of the Zen X-Fi3 here: =http://build.rockbox.org/data/rockbox-creativezenxfi3.zip=, unzip it at the root of the device.
Then install the bootloader by downloading firmware.sb file (see wiki link, section Prebuilt), put it at the root of the device and reboot. This will install the bootloader. Note that you can still boot to the original firmware by holding volume down on boot.
This should soon be integrated into the Rockbox Utility tool and this manual procedure won't be useful any more.

Thanks for your answer.
I know what I was doing wrong, the "firmware.sb" had the wrong filename : "=firmware.s=b" I don't know why it's displayed like that on the wiki page.
Rockbox is working now. But when I play a song, the sound is awful, it's just crackling, not even saturating, just a bad sound. Or sometimes no sound at all.
EDIT : It's crackling when the volume is at max. When it's at another level, I hear no sound.
