I have a persistent problem playing .wav files in the car on my 60 GB RioCar, and wanted to hear if anyone else has encountered this before I do more debugging this weekend and/or bug tech support. Between 45-55 seconds after starting the player, play will stop for 2-3 seconds - no audio at all - then picks up where it left off - it's basically like the player pauses. This happens 100% of the time in the car, whether the engine is running or not, moving or not, etc. (haven't yet tested at home). If you restart the same tune it then plays fine all the way through.

I am using 2.0b11, just ran DiskBuilder on both disks and reinstalled the kernel. Have tried with and without Hijack with the same results. Pulled the top, checked that both disk cables are tight.

Watching boot through Hyperterminal everything looks OK, but I see a message several times about insufficient bytes for wave_decoder.cpp.

Any thoughts (apart from that I need to do a whole lot more testing: try out of the car and monitor through Hyperterminal, try mp3s, etc.?)

Thanks

I see a message several times about insufficient bytes for wave_decoder.cpp.

Hmmm! Ya think?

/me heads off to verify this and if necessary post to the internal bug list.

Think's a little strong, but suspect yes that it's pausing whilst swapping decoder code... could tweaking ReserveCache help with this?

I have been having that same problem too...

Replicated. Took mine 3 minutes and 35 seconds into the song to do it, but it did it. A brief pause during playback of the WAV file. Putting on the internal bug list.

thanks very much, reverting to mp3s until then.
