Extrem low volume in my Car audio system

MP3 players Sansa Clip | Clip+
1

Hi all,

I just get a Sansa Clip+ (thx Santa Claus ). It works fine with headphone.

But, when I use it in a car (with a cassette adapter or by the aux connector) the volume is very low. Even if I set the sansa volume and personal equalizer to the Max.

There is a solution to have a correct volume power ?

Thx in advance.

Indeed, I didnt view this second volume setting :dizzy_face: . I set this to high, put volume and personal equalize to max and the volume is much better.

The volume still lower than FM or Tape mode. Anyway its correct now. :smiley:

Problem solved.

Thx very much :smiley:

Well, I have only one 3.5 Jack cable, so i cant try with an other for the moment - I’ll make more try when I’ll return to my home.

But, I try this cable with an other emitter (a classic FM recepter) and it work good ; without noise even at high volume. So I’m pretty sure that my cable is Ok.

Anyway, my car-radio doesn’t have Aux connector so I have to use a cassette adaptor (wich works good with my FM receptor too).

But, yes you’re right, a poor cable can be the cause of such problems.

  With the equalizer on normal it might be louder. Try it and see.

No offense to Sansa, but their players aren’t known for ample volume.  If volume was a major consideration, there are units in the marketplace that will do better.  At least on my auto set-up, my head-unit’s CD, FM and Tape are also quite a bit louder than coming from the Sansas.

I have just bought a clip + after reading good reviews, and i have to say that it is not fit for purpose. The volume is almost inaudible and the volume control under the settings menu is just not there at all. The menu goes from “Brightness” to “Reset factory Settings”. Can anybody tell me what is wrong?
