Hope someone can help me - I’m new to this MP3 player thing. I bought a sansa Fuze 2Gb and attempted plug it into my MP3 port on my car. Problem is volume on the car stereo needs to be turned 3/4 of full volume to get it to an acceptable level. I know this is an issue with the Fuze cuz when my son plugs in his ipod the music can be listened to at normal levels without turning up the volume. I have looked thru all the system settings and have set the music volume on “High” but it does not make much difference.
Are you using the custom eq? Cause that really kills the volume on the music. Make sure to have the eq set to normal cause ur car stereo probably already has a eq that u can change. I used my fuze in my brothers car and I noticed the music was kinda low, then I set the eq to normal and it made a big difference. Try that out maybe it’ll work.
I don’t know what kind of head unit you’re using, but the Sony in my car has adjustable sensitivity for the aux. input.
If that doesn’t work, or there isn’t any adjustment, you should probably take a look at making a line-out cord for the Fuze, that should be as good as it gets.
Thats what I have in my truck, It works fine for me, but Seriously Check out the FiiO headphone amp, plug in to that, then run another cord into the sterio, it will boost the volume.
There are lots of headphones amps out there. Some cheap, some uber expensive. Do a google search and you’ll find lots of options. FiiO’s are quite in demand and are often out of stock at the places that sell them. If you have your heart set on a FiiO, you may have to wait. Boostaroo is another well respected, inexpensive brand of headphone amp that is also available and will work fine in vehicle applications.
