Sansa Clip Zip trouble with USB connection.

<< < (2/3) > >>

FAIL!

New files loaded to the Clip+ with the latest dev build ALL have audio drop-outs, i.e. complete loss of sound for about half a second every so often.

colliedoggy:
Please ignore the last post.

The problem with audio drop-outs is not to do with the latest dev build.

I reloaded 13.3 and that also had drop-outs with the same music files (erased then reloaded in 13.3). Those files played fine in Windows on my desktop.
A search suggests that this problem is due to Rockbox having a less tolerant flac decoder than VLC media player.

Bryanhoop:
Try re-encoding your files FLAC->FLAC using the latest version.

Which dev build worked for you? I'd been running the stable march 2013 build and was having a few problems with the USB connection, so decided to switch to the latest build (1bc964, 22 Dec) ... and that was a disaster, giving Code 10 (device cannot start) errors in device manager.

charleski:
Ok, well the 22 Dec dev build was a failure, so I tried the 30 Nov dev build (8618f2c) - that also failed. I got the <device connect> sound followed also instantly by the <device disconnect> sound, and dev manager showed a non-functioning WPD File System device. So I gave up on dev builds and rolled back to 3.13 stable - that worked as well as it did before tinkering. It's far from perfect (the screen has to be on when you plug in the USB otherwise it won't connect, and windows takes a couple of minutes of refreshing for the drives to appear in the filesystem), but it does at least work.
