Sansa Fuze v2, Rockbox freezing (or 'skipping') after a few songs. mSD?

(1/3) > >>

Hello!

Did a search of the forums and found a few topics that partially address the problem I'm dealing with. Recently bought an unused Fuze v2 and have been experiencing problems.


* While reading songs off of the inserted MicroSD card, Rockbox will stop playing after approximately 8 or so minutes of playback, spread across any number of songs (long songs will stop playing after about 8 minutes, and albums will stop if I skip a few tracks).
* Does not happen if the tracks I'm reading are off the internal Fuze memory.
* Happens regardless of filesize or format (FLAC, Ogg, MP3, WAV); so long as it's reading off the SD, it will skip or "freeze" playback.
* Building the database will 'freeze' in a similar way, it will stop counting at 1,200 songs or so.
* "Freezing" does not affect most other menu operations, only those involving loading up the database, or searching the SD card. Regardless of this, shutting down the player takes a "hard shutdown".
* Playback will freeze regardless if the files being played were searched through the database or through the File menu.
* OEM firmware will read all files without incident.
This glitch is extremely annoying, and I don't know what other information to give other than that I've just installed the latest stable build of Rockbox and it installed successfully and the problem still happens. Hoping I won't have to buy another MicroSD, as this one's a 32Gb and cost a couple bucks more than I want to spend on another.

I'm going to try to load songs off of the SD from my laptop to see if the SD itself is bad, but since the OEM firmware reads them properly, I'm guessing Linux will too.

Any fixes for this? Any other info I can provide to help diagnose and treat? Let me know.

Sounds like some problem with your SD card.  Try a different one.

I have exactly the same symptoms.  I'm using a Lexar 32 GB Class 10 card.  I've formatted it using SD Formatter.  I have also verified the card 2 times using the Lexar downloadable utility.

Finally, when I us the OF to read this card, I have no symptoms whatsoever.

I've ordered a Sandisk 32 GB card that's not class 10 and I hope it may resolve things.  However, I'm not holding my breath.

Is there some way I can capture a log or provide other meaningful information to FlySpray?

I want to help and not just complain...

FWIW, here's what Debug is reporting about my internal and external mSD cards:

Internal:

 SD04G Rev 8.0
 Prod: 5/2010
 Ser#: 0x23482900
 M=03, O=SD
 Blocks: 0x00753C00
 Speed: 25.0Mbits/s
 Taac: 10.0ms
 Nsac: 0 clk
 R2W: *2

External:

[microSD 1]

I *hope* it is the mSD card. That's a quick fix.  Will post back here once I've got the new one.
