Do you mean you actually did a Reset Settings from the menu? If you have accidentally got stuck in low-latency mode, then a proper reset should work to fix it.

Denzyl:
Hi All Thanks for the input :)

I was listening to the track at the time and it was skipping!

Watching the Debug the skips definitely coincides with the drop in the pcm line!

I normally don't use any of those as I prefer seamless joins! (a lot of concept albums & comedies where gaps between tracks is a pain) It's the reason I went for Rockbox in the first place the original firmware always gave a large gap.

I normally delete all the old config files on updating to a new version. Including all those generated by the previous system. Then copy in the new ones from the update, then let Rockbox regenerate the others on reboot.

This time I also tried the 'Reset Settings' from the 'Manage Settings' menu!

It got worse in that the skips now last longer, almost 2 beats. I am also now getting repeatable double skips of a 1 beat skip followed quickly by another one?

So I've switched off and tried a hard reset with a paperclip!

No improvement. Overall now on the same track the pcm is now definitely pumping (On skips it drops dramatically then goes to max, especially the double skips) and the 124Mhz is lasting long enough to be able to read it easily.

I'll check the Rockbox manual to see what I need to do a proper reset!

nls:
Resetting settings in the menu or deleteing the config.cfg file is a proper reset. What seems strange about this is that usually the cause of similar skips is that the processor can't decode audio fast enough, which would mean that the boost ratio would be 100%, now this is not the case.
Does it happend on all tracks?
Do the tracks play correctly on your computer?
Have you tried older dailies to try and track down when this started?
After resetting settings could you try without changing any settings?

Denzyl:
Hi nls

Ah! thanks for that on reset!

Okay I have now tried a few more tracks most with an obvious beat, they skip! Those files that are spoken I cannot tell!

All copies of the same files on my PC play okay on my PC! With Winamp & Media Player Classic!

I found a 16-August-2006 version of Rockbox lurking on my PC and loaded it on my X5L

The skipping disappears from most tracks, totally! But now I am attuned to it there is a residual skip on really hard beat tracks?

One other thing is there is a size difference between the Vorbis Codec files!

Okay I have found an interesting quirk!

Playing a file on the X5L over the USB link using Winamp or MPC on the PC it skips!
Copy the X5L file back to PC and then play it with Winamp or MPC, it doesn't skip!

I will check my X5L disc integrity!

The problem you're having sounds pretty much what I am having with my iPod Nano except mine doesn't start so quickly and I didn't notice if those problems match the pcm buffer decreasing.
I described it here: http://forums.rockbox.org/index.php?topic=9186.0
Can you test with some MPC or MP3 and see if you have the same issue reported there?
