Something went wrong with the sound.

I was running rockbox on the player and thought maybe something with it caused the issue, so I got rid of rockbox and installed the orginal firmware.  That didn’t help.  But I don’t think it was a rockbox problem because I have another Sansa Clip + that is around 5 years old.  And I’ve been running rockbox on it all year and I’m not having any problems.  I had bought the new one because my I realized how old my old one was getting and I knew I might need to replace it soon.  My player gets a lot of use! 

It was just all of a sudden…  One day it sound just fine and then all of a sudden it sounded really bad.  Especially when I connect it to mono iHome speakers.  Again I have been using those kinds of speakers for years, and have had to replace them from time to time (the cord connector that connects directly to the the speaker goes bad)  Never had any past problems with that kind of speaker causing the mp3 players go bad. 

I think the AMP in the Sansa Clip + is faulty.

I have two questions:

  1. What is a RMAA program?

  2. How Can I test the Player’s Amp?
