Firmware 1.1.2.37: stutter in first second of music
In firmware 1.1.2.24 and 1.1.2.37 I recognized a problem that never occured in the original firmware. In the beginning of each mp3 file is a stutter, means: mp3 starts with ~0.2 seconds of normal sound, then ~0.2 seconds silence, after that the song plays normal.
The problem starts after updating the firmware to 1.1.2.24.
It's only hearable, when the file has no silence at the beginning e.g. in live albums.
Anyone else with the same problem?

More than 3 months now and no change. And as I see, I'am not the only one with this problem.
Music playback is not much fun anymore with divx connected.
Since server 1.0 music playback gets constantly worser.
1. Server 1.1 (10 Months ago): the sorting has changed to alphabetic sort by title, instead of sorting by filename or tracknumber, which makes it impossible to hear an entire album (in particular with mixed artist) in correct order.
No fix in the last 10 months.
2. Firmware 1.1.2.24 (3 months ago): the mentioned stuttering appeared
No fix in the last 3 months.
3. Server 1.4: music playlists are broken (I read that this is fixed now, but I can't update and prove it because of the problem with the choppy video playback).
That's my personal history of music development in the divx connected device.
A year ago I hoped that divx connected could be a great platform, cause it was the first device with an attractive ui for video AND music, while all other manufactures only concentrates on the video part (mostly more codec support).
In the connunity forum we enthusiasticly started a big thread with a wishlist for further development with a lot of good ideas for music improvement (among other things), but nearly nothing of these ideas made it into the development.
Almost a year later all the great hopes from the beginning are gone and I would be happy, if the music playback was as good (means: error free) as in server 1.0.
That's frustrating.
I also have this problem. I'm using the latest beta firmware and server versions.
I have just tried to reproduce this and it is working for me. What server version are you using? If if is not the latest 1.3.1.10 can you try it and see if it helps?

Server is 1.3.1 Build: 10. I tried it with older server versions (versions that have no problem in the past)and nothing changed.
The problem started after updating the firmware (not server!) of the DSM-330 to version 1.1.2.24 (an update to firmware 1.1.2.37 didn't change anything).
So, I think it's a firmware problem, not a server software problem.
Further information:
- problem exists on digital and analog output
- problem is not file specific, I tried mp3 with cbr and vbr and different bitrates
- it's only one short dropout at the beginning of each song after exactly the same playtime (~a half second). If the song has a second of silence at start, you miss the dropout.
@divx: Can you confirm this problem? Are you able to reproduce it?
Any schedule for a firmware with this bug fixed?
Nothing?
Yeah i`m getting this problem 2 also a problem with the volume indicator blocks not filling correctly
Nobody? Am I the only one with this problem?
Hi,
I have noticed this problem recently with the playback of MP3 files.
The track starts to play, there is short pause and then it continues normally. It is at the start of every track (but only noticable when the start of the track is loud and not silent)
I have Server 1.4.1.1, firmware 1.1.2.37 on a DSM330 connected wirelessly.
The problem is not there when using the connected PC Client.
Please tell us you can repreoduce this problem
I have the same problem.
The first 100/150 ms there is a hickup in the audio.
Sounds like a buffering problem.
Happens with all files.
Using the latest beta firmware and server versions.
Yep... im getting exactly the same problem.
It makes listening to multi-track "mixed" cd's a real nightmare.
