DIY Line Out Cable - Works!

HAH! Shoot me right back LOL! I think it is just confusing labeling. The fact is that the dock uses the Fuze lineout signal. I agree that it is not true lineout, but it is at lineout level and it is what the Fuze has available from the SOC IC. You probably won’t find a true lineout in any of the current MP3 players due to the EQ being adjustable. Cowon and maybe older iRiver might have them with fixed flat EQ.

If enough people want the volume control maybe Sansa will reactivate it. I see the main problem as being someone plugging in older large 8 ohm headphones, or a speaker set that is meant to run off of a headphone out signal instead of lineout signal. Either of these could draw too much current and pop the Fuze!

Clip info will be given if I find something worth reporting. Right now it is a couple of board traces that I need to find out where they go.
