No audio for V2 Sansa Fuze firmware when played through Sansa dock or USB
MSMurley:
First, 1001 thanks to the Rockbox team for creating such a great free product. I'm fairly new to Rockbox. Hated it during Week 1 and couldn't live without it starting with Week 2.
Background: Mine is a Sansa Fuze family. The four of us collectively have 9 Fuzes (the older superior models) and 5 Altec Lansing docks. Of the 9 Fuzes, 7 employ Version 2 firmware. As luck would have it, I happened to install Rockbox on one of the two Version 1 players. Worked fine on the docs as well as via USB ports in our car stereos. Then, I installed RB on a V2 player and then eventually trying three other V2 players. In each case, Rockbox would not play through a dock or USB; however, when I booted up the Sansa firmware, it would play fine. So, this seems to be a Rockbox issue.
If at all possible, my family and I hope this issue can be addressed with your next update. It has been difficult to locate V1 players for sale on eBay and Amazon. Plus, we'd love to be able to use our now-dormant 7 V2 Fuzes.
Thanks again for all that you do.

No one has figured out how to detect the dock connector on the V2. There is a patch on the tracker that lets you manually enable line out, but without someway to detect when its needed its very awkward.
MSMurley:
Many thanks for the rapid reply. I'll keep my fingers crossed that the problem is eventually solved and will check back here every so often for updates. Thanks again.
Njones:
The patch works really well. When docking or USB you select the line out option and when using headphones you select the headphone option. The patch adds these option under settings.
fennectech:
if we hook the line out so it can be enabled from the USB connect screen or an option that is available when there is power going into it or possably even holding say select and pressing a volume button will enable line out
