Forum:After firmware upgrade some avi have garbled audio output

I recently upgrade to the newest firmware. The upgrade process completed without errors, but now, when I want to see an avi, I sometimes get a terrible noise instead of the expected audio. I solved the problem initially by (re)converting the avi to DivX, then it played ok, but I should have to do this to enjoy my screenplay pro, right!

Anyone has similar problems? If yes, have you solved it? If yes again, would you mind sharing your solution?

Is downgrading to a previous firmware version an option?

Regard,

Peter Lont.


 * Yes, you can downgrade. Just look at the firmware page, it has direct links to the other firmware versions. --JCoug 06:44, February 25, 2010 (UTC)

Hi, Peter Lont

The downgrade could make? --Gusrotrek

Hi,

Downgraded, installed - whatever you'd like to call it - to every available firmware version, but without success. The AVI I want to play aren't off an exotic kind. Some are DivX, other Xvid, but the audio still comes out garbled.

No one out there with the same problem, huh? Must be lucky me I guess...

 * Hi Peter. Are you sure your player downgraded?  You can confirm that in the Setup -> System menu.  I'm assuming that these same AVI files worked before you initially did the upgrade.  If that assumption is true, then downgrading should have done it.  Unless you knocked the cable loose or jarred the electronics in some way.  But usually that would affect ALL of the videos and not just specific ones.  I have upgraded to R1.98 and I do have some AVIs.  They appear to play OK.  They are all Xvid AVIs.  I prefer DVD Iso format, but each to his own. --JCoug 08:36, March 14, 2010 (UTC)
