Anyone seen this before? This is on my spare player, which I
didn't use for a long time. I was hoping to use it for the new
<censored>.

I suppose the USB hardware is broken. I don't use USB on it at all, but it
prevents my player to continue booting. Maybe I could compile my
own hijack kernel and leave USB support out. Or would there be an
easier way?

Anyway this is the log:

One of the data lines is borked. Thats why it can't find the CS4231A chip or PDIUSBD12 chip.

Usually the cause is one of the chips dying mysteriously

Right. Didn't even notice the CS4231A failure. I could live without
the USB, but probably not without the CS4231A, even for using
it as <censored> ...

It ain't the rio reciever software, why would he want aux in for that?

I thought the CS4231A was the main sound chip.
You're saying it's only used for AUX?

And yes, I was going to use it with v3a8 RE.

But having to buy a wireless ethernet bridge, as
well as having to fix this player, I now consider
buying a wireless squeezebox instead.

Thanks,
Pim

I'm feeling so incredibly right! *sticks out tounge*

I know Stu's swapped out that chip before. It can probably be fixed.

Keep in mind that you don't actually know what the real problem here is.

This is the main peripheral data bus for the player, so any of the following can be the cause of the fault: IDE, USB, ethernet, sound-chip, buffer.

I have traced this problem for two players so far. In one case, it was the IDE header; in another, it was the ethernet controller.

Cheers

Come to think of it; some months ago, I bought an mk2a on eBay to replace my mk2.
I switched harddrives, and never bothered to check whether the now redundant
mk2 would startup with the new empty disk.

So it may well be an IDE cabling problem.

Thanks,
Pim

The 4231A, which also pulls down the IDE power line for the disk drives occasionally. You need a new chip.

It can be done. I have the remaining empeg stock.

Is there any reason that my USB will stop responding? For a while it transfers songs fine, then it hangs up on one of them and the rest are timed out. It's really hard to transfer songs if I have to do about 10 at a time from 8 gigs of music.

Yes, as Edsmiata said, this is a common reason.

If the USB driver also works under Windows 2000 (not sure if it does, the 2.0 release notes will probably say so if it doesn't), then try updating to that version of the driver anyway. Make sure you're on version 2.0 final on the player and on Emplode. Make sure your PC is updated with the latest flash BIOS for its motherboard, and that Windows 2000 has installed the latest drivers for that motherboard's USB chipset. Finally, make sure your empeg isn't having any hard disk trouble.
