Below are just a few people with the same problem ......... There hundreds of examples sooooo this is a bug and FiiO have failed to see this
I have been having the same problem for a couple of days, now. It plays music fine... holds a full charge... and I can take the SD cards out of the slot, add/delete music via a card reader... put the card back into the X5... and the music will play back without a problem.
Go figure...
Oh, and I'm connecting my X5 to a Mac Pro, running OS X 10.9.5 |
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Quick update to what I've done (so far)....
1) I removed both SD cards from the X5. I put each one into a USB card reader, plugged it into the Mac, and ran Disk Utility to "verify" each card. One card came out totally clean, but the other card has problems. Actually, this is a bad card that I knew had problems, and I accidentally put it back into my X5!
2) So I launched the X5 with only one SD card installed (the good one). Still, the X5 would not mount up on my Mac via USB cable.
My next step: I'm going to try a FW reinstall, see if that helps. I just noticed that there's a new version of the FW, deemed the "Final" version ( ). I will install that, and see if it helps.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------This. Mine stopped working as I mentioned earlier here and no firmware fixes it. If it were a firmware issue it wouldn't travel across firmwares when it worked before.
Sucks for me because I bought mine used here and the seller isn't willing to help me so now I'm stuck with it. Let's just hope the actual charging function doesn't break
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Today my X5 has gone a bit kaput. First I noticed that my OTG storage stopped working, and then I realised that when I tried to connect it to my PC, the PC didn't recognise the X5 either. The PC charges it but doesn't recognise it as a drive. It's definitely in the correct USB mode, I tried to reinstall the firmware (and tried an old firmware too) and used the reset button, but nothing has helped.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Have tried different cables and different ports on different computers, but the X5 doesn't get recognised at all. The fact that the X5 doesn't recognise my OTG drive either (and I tried different cables there too) suggests it's something wrong with the X5's USB connection. It's not firmware as I have reinstalled 2.4 and gone back to 2.5 without any difference. The SSD I use on the OTG connection connects to the PC with no issues. Don't think I did anything out of the ordinary to make it go wrong.

Ive tried this about 30 times now in multiple USB inputs on my laptop. Doesn't seem to be working. I keep getting this message when I try to download the drivers
