Clipping on the X5...?

(1/3) > >>

Street_Samurai:
Hey,

First let me say that I absolutely love RockBox.

I've noticed a number of tracks seem to "clip" on the X5 under Rockbox. This problem doesn't occur with every track... but certain tracks are almost unlistenable. The "clipping" is a static-like noise usually with highhats and vocal sibilants. I don't have any EQs or any other strange audio settings on. I've tested with both Replay Gain on and off, Clipping Prevention on and off and it doesn't make a difference (and yes the tracks are Replay Gain'ed with tags).

I noticed this problem on a previous build (at least 5 weeks ago) and on a build I just downloaded a few days ago.

The same tracks in the X5 original firmware (as well as my stereo at home) play fine.

Any thoughts?

I'd be more than willing to upload an example track if that will help.

p.s. this is a regualr 30GB X5. Build is 060926.

Llorean:
Give us some information about the file first:

File format/encoding, Sample Rate, Bitrate, at the very least.

Street_Samurai:
Sorry,

The last one I noticed was a CBR 192kbps MP3.

Llorean:
I notice that you left out the sample rate.

Street_Samurai:
Sorry again,
