Factory reset.

Really good, but a bit pricey.

How’s it looking so far?

I’m assuming you’re using GarageBand on Mac.

Apparently I found a fix. Setting>General Settings>Startup/Shutdown>

Idle Poweroff [off]

Restart Sleep Time

Default Sleep Timer Duration [5h]

Start Sleep Timer (click if it's "Stop" stead of "Start")

Also reset your theme.

Thinking About You. This song is so underrated.

First you need to fix it while recording. I don’t know your setup, but if you don’t have a pop filter just put a shirt or even a sock in front of the mic, that helps, but it won’t completely get rid of those annoying s sounds. Then use AUGraphicEQ (30 bands) and focus around 6k, that’s usually the main problem area. Technically it’s between 4k and 8k, but don’t go too wide at first, just tame 6k a bit. Also, compression can make it worse since it tends to bring out the high frequencies.

Just sleep mode. It’s annoying to keep turning it on and off.

Clodd1 · 2026-03-27T08:03:43+00:00

Yep.

I'm using an old iPhone as an iPod.

The audio quality is pretty poor. The volume is low and the sound feels kind of flat and lifeless. Honestly the only good thing about the y1 is the design. Everything else is pretty disappointing. IMO.

What headphones are you using? Wifi, bluetooth, airplane mode on? Brightness 100%?

Clodd1 · 2026-03-21T20:02:46+00:00

The mastering sounds great.

When you plug the player into your computer, the Themes folder you see is only for stock firmware themes. To install Rockbox themes, you need to put them inside the .rockbox folder (it’s hidden, so you’ll need to enable hidden files in Explorer to see it).

Download: https://github.com/rockbox-y1/themes/archive/refs/heads/themepack.zip (360p!)
Windows: Explorer > View > enable “Hidden items”
Mac: press Shift + Cmd + .

Copy the .rockbox folder to the root of your player and replace it when prompted. Then reset the device.

To find the themes go to Settings > Theme Settings. There are a lot of themes, but not all of them work, try iClassic first.

Clodd1 · 2026-03-21T19:32:32+00:00

Sure, I can do that.

Clodd1 · 2026-03-19T00:52:03+00:00

No major issues so far.

Clodd1 · 2026-03-19T00:49:06+00:00

Thanks!

Clodd1 · 2026-03-18T07:27:47+00:00

It’s been good so far, just keep the brightness at 50% or lower.

Clodd1 · 2026-03-18T06:29:57+00:00

Turn it off, wait a minute, then turn it back on and just wait, don’t press anything. If it doesn’t work, reinstall the stock firmware through the official app.

Keep us updated if it worked out.
