The same behavior is also true for the on/off indicators in the "Select directories to scan" screen in Database settings.

New Ports / Re: AIGO EROS Q / AIGO EROS K / IRULU Surfans F20 / AGPTek H3 / HIFI WALKER H2

Here is the 1.5 firmware for HiFi Walker H2: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1oZxpT8HNgsMVfM0MXmQnTxTTLzTXpixk/view?usp=sharing

Please can you clarify: is this an original firmware version 1.5 for the HiFi Walker H2? I want to make sure I have a backup before trying to install Rockbox. If it isn't, could you please advise how I can extract it off my new player or download it somewhere? Thanks!

Plugins/Viewers / Re: Rockboy buttons issue creative zen

Looking at the button driver it looks like the hardware can only read one button at a time due to shared input pin.

Plugins/Viewers / Rockboy buttons issue creative zen

« Last post by elezzar on June 02, 2023, 11:56:46 PM »

i've been playing around with rockboy lately on the creative zen (mines the 8gb version if thats important) but i've noticed it doesn't accept multiple button inputs at once, as in i will hold what i configured the D-pad for and press A or B and it will interrupt the D-pad and stop even though im still holding the button (makes  about anything other than pinball or pokemon impossible to play) i have no idea why this happens. i don't know if its a rockboy bug in general or just this device specifically but if anyone has any insights or solutions to this i would love to hear

Thanks for the correct info. Would the bit truncation make much of a difference to those filter graphs?  To me they all look as you'd expect for each filter type.

Rockbox resamples everything to 44100Hz.  On some players you can toggle this to 48000Hz.  So a comparison between Rockbox and original firmware might not be so useful if the audio file is 192000 Hz.

Actually, Rockbox will only resample if the hardware cannot handle the "native" sample rate for a given file.  I know this because I'm the one who implemented it. 
So on hardware that can go up to 192KHz, we can play back 192KHz files, albeit at 16-bit only since we don't have support for 24/32-bit audio in the core.

(That said, the choice of playback freq and any resampling is up to the invididual codecs, so it's certainly possible some or many of them have their own rules/heuristics)

But anyway, it looks like the original firmware defaults to the same as Rockbox:  sharp.  No surprise there.  All the filters look like they work as described.  The battery life is good on Rockbox that the powersave mode is not needed on the M3K.  I guess if I used my M3K only for audiobooks or lectures and other speech I might choose powersave mode, but for music the default (no powersave, sharp filter) appears to be ideal.  But it is nice to see the graphs, and informative, so thank you.

You can try USB C To 3.5mm Jack Adapters. Something like:
