I’m having an audio jack issue that I completely hate. It is the only thing about my SanDisk&nbsp; Sansa Clip I don’t like. If I push the speaker input into the MP3 player too far only one side of the ear phones work. The cord is too sensitive and any light touching can cause a shortage where the speakers go out. So I have to wiggle the input to get it to work again. I do’n’t understand why it can be better designed so that the speakers don’t cut off so easily.

Is anyone else having this problem or is this unique to my MP3 player?

Thanks I love this item so far. But its not helpful if while exercising i have to keep stopping to adjust it so I can where what is playing.

LOL! I’m glad i asked this stupid question. Yes, it is brand new. I pushed it in several times thinking it must be in all the way. After your post, i tried pushing it harder and it clicked a couple of time. The volume increased as well.

**THANKS!!!**
