Since upgrading to sys 1400, I've been having playback problems. I DJed a wedding this weekend, and was absolutely mortified as my music kept cutting in and out, randomly, for no reason --- ruined many mixes and killed the dancefloor several times. I've never had a problem like this up until this upgrade.
So here goes, to the best of my ability: the sound will cut out, but the file will keep playing. If I press cue to bring the track back to the beginning, it does not let me, it somehow sets a new cue point to where the file stopped outputting sound. So, the display still continues to tick on, but no sound comes out of the player. I know it is not the mixer because I have the sound outing direct to my PA via the 1200's RCA outs. This would happen very randomly and at different points in time during my set. Since then I've been playing around trying to recreate the problem. It is just so random though. As the music cuts out, I hear a short crackling sound. Other times, one channel (in stereo) will cut out, or get crackly and lower in volume. Sometimes the level of the track changes as well, as in gets loud out of no where. And, sometimes it is not with specific files, sometimes it is. It happened a few times today while I was messing around, and after restarting the player, I couldn't recreate the problem with the same song, other times I could. It is not the files themselves that are missing the sound. I double checked that on the computer, just in case.
This happens on both players since the upgrade. Mind you, these players NEVER have left the Odyssey case, and I handle the case carefully. I'm so worried over this... Any ideas? In the meantime, Silvio, can you please PM me the sys 1300 firmware? I want to see if that is indeed the problem and not something worse. Thank you for your continued work on the 1200s.
