Sansa Fuze - insufficient volume after firmware update

Why throw out the baby with the bath water?  Leave build .31 on the device, and adjust your regional settings.  Select Reset Factory Settings , choose North America, and your preferred language.  For Europe, all you’ll need to do is select “rest of world” for your FM frequency steps.

Note:  You can leave the current build of the firmware installed on the device (current build is .31 or .33 depending upon the revision of your device).  Once you select “yes” to the Reset Factory Settings mask, the device will ask for your desired region.  For EMEA, be sure to go to Settings > Radio Options > Region and select Europe for the EU frequeqncy steps.

Just wanted to save you a lot of hassle!  Your volume option will again be available.

As for the volume, please use good judgement when listening to your music.  Keep that volume at a reasonable level, as your long-term hearing is far more valuable than a little loud music.  If the device is for your children, well, as a Daddy, I know how they are.  Perhaps that limited volume can be valuable for a time.  You can blame it on the EU regulations.
