Sansa Clip+ Firmware Update 01.02.16

Apparently High Volume setting is missing …

Can i go back to earlier firmware ?

Regards

The setting is there–you’ve just updated using a region (EU?) that bans it.

Reapply the latest firmware and choose a hi-volume-setting region (N America; Rest of World).  (I forget if this also works, but you may be able to do the same by selecting  “Reset all” under the Clip.)

how to go back to earlier firmware before update?

It is a euro law.

For a work-around, read Miikerman’s post above or look at the top of the clip/clip+'s board for a thread on high volume.

This post is ‘stickied’ (and also shaded a different color) at the top of the front page of this board. I can’t believe you two jumped through all the flaming hoops to register and post questions about this and totally missed it:

OGG not working!

Just bought a Clip+ and updated to FW 1.02.15, USB en MSC mode, computer is Linux.Tags have been cleaned up by Mp3Tag 2.46a.

 I copied *.ogg files and drop the files in the MUSIC folder with the following structure:

\MUSIC\MyCollection\CD1\MySong1.ogg

There are plenty of weird issues. Mostly “Refreshing your media” got stuck and hung up the device. I went to a time consuming process of powering off (press 15+ seconds) then move the *.ogg file around (reduce the number of parent folders, removing all *.ogg except a dozen ones, etc.). At best I could get 20 *.ogg regcognized and all played OK once. On another try, the device displayed the song info but got stuck on pause and refused to play the song.

As soon as I connect/disconnect the device another time (for example to add ONE mp3 file), the “Refreshing your media” kicked in again and the hang up cycle resumes. The only way to fix is to remove all the ogg files. I guess the issue is the parsing of the ogg tags.

In conclusion, ogg support is problematic ! Can anyone confirm?

Thanks in advance.

I’ve found another issue relating to the ogg files on the Clip+.

It turned out that Equalizer must be disabled (set to Normal) to play ogg files encoded in MONO (single channel) properly.

If equalizer is enabled, the mono ogg sounds awful.

There are no problems while playing stereo ogg files.

I’ve the moust recent firmware version installed  (01.02.15).

I brought a clip+ last week on OCT 15. The firmware is up-to date with the new release.

The Radio is noisy… and the sound is coming in waves… which is very nasty…

could you please fix it through firmware… I tries with other MP3 player s… which works fine…

Are you sure your headphones are plugged in all the way?  The socket can be very tight to begin with and can require an extra push.

Otherwise, it sounds like something is wrong with your player–what you report is not the norm.  You could exchange it for a replacement or contact SanDisk as to the issue.  Unless this is all due to the particular radio station you are listening to–have you tried others?  And have you extended the headphone cord, which acts as the antenna?  Perhaps this is a reception issue.

If you had read this forum before you asked you wouldn’t be asking

Hello!

Just bought sansa clip+  pre patched to 01.02.15

When loading songs with Russian names into it, the player gives me the names in unreadable gibberish.

But when viewing them from folders menu the names are readable Russian.

Edit: That was my fault since Windows misspelled the song names in properties into gibberish.

Fixing the song names corrected the problem.

No problems with the player.

A wonderful thing to hear–Enjoy it!   :slight_smile:

I have an issue with the Sansa Clip which I just received as a gift . The FM radio reception is not good.  On stations I normally receive well, using  Sansa Clip FM radio the station does not  come in clearly .  I checked that I have latest firmware . I took it back to Best Buy to exchange it but I still have the same problem.  Any suggestions?

Note that your earphone cord doubles as the FM radio antenna. If it’s coiled up, it won’t be able to receive a strong signal.

In addition, check that the headphone plug is fully inserted into the player. The jack can be quite tight when new, so it may require more force than you expect to fully seat the plug.

Yes, thanks for the reply…  I’m aware that the headphone is usually used as the antenna so I tried another that was used on another radio and Im sure that its plugged in all the way but no change. I was hoping someone has had similar issues.

Hi,

Updated from 01.01.05P to this one. So far no problems. Have 4 Gb with 8 Gb mem.

Radio: deleted all presets and let it scan again. I set the FM to World region instead of USA. My region is Europe but use North America for the volume boost. I must say that the receiver is amazing. Normally I could not listen to the radio when I sad down near my computer. That was a horrible noise and distortion. No influence of the computer system clock anymore. Very amazing!

I use this device for more than a year. I’m happy with it.
