Is this solution valid for a Sansa Clip Zip 4GB ?

Yep. :smiley:

I’ve just followed your instructions and chose Japanese as a non-European option.  Now all text is in Japanese!  Help please! 

@kaygee,  your post is blank.  If you’re using internet explorer 9, put it in compatibility mode so we can see the text in your post.

I think you misunderstood the instructions to get the high volume setting. 

No worries, to get back to English as the language, just turn the player OFF if it’s on, then turn it on and after it boots up, press the home button.  Scroll to the settings icon and press select.  then press the down part of the pad three times and press select (that will be the system settings option).  Then press down three more times and press select again.  That’s the language option.  English is the first option.  You know what to do from there.  :wink:

You most likely selected Japanese as your Language. The only Region options are North America, Europe, and Rest Of World.  

Follow the directions in this SanDisk KnowledgeBase article to reset your player to English. It should be the 1st or top choice when you get to the Language menu.

I just bought a Clip+ and found the volume to be ridiculously, impossibly low!  Because it appears that device owners on this string achieved satisfaction by downloading the update, resetting the system and choosing another country for volume, I tried to do the same thing. I’m sure it’s my imagination but my volume seemed to be even worse.  I can’t hear anything in the gym - I barely can hear it by myself in a quiet room. I bought the device mostly for working out, and it seems as though it’s useless. Did I just get a faulty player?  Is “high volume” only slightly different than “regular volume”?

It’s been two years since these posts; has the matter been resolved somehow?

Thanks.

Forgive me for asking what may appear to be a dumb question, but believe it or not this has ocurred with others before . . . you do know that there is a volume rocker (up/down) switch on the left isde of the unit, right?

Please don’t apologize. It truly was a dumb question! Believe it or not, I just found my answer under another topic board. It was a newbie asking the same question, and receiving an answer similar to yours. I am sorry for my naiveté and, as another obvious newbie, I am grateful for the support. :womanembarrassed:

Glad you got it sorted out. Now you can rock on!

Smiley

thank u i thought its done .its working

Yet another Thanks!  :smiley:  to all of you who contribute fine help like this!

:smiley:

Very good point. People should be cautious after setting Volume to High… Specially when using IEM type headphones. Start with a LOW volume. You don’t want hearing damage!

This did not work at all

What didn’t work? :confounded:

If you seriously want help with whatever problem you’re having, you’ll have to give more details about what exactly your issue is, and exactly what you’ve done to this point to try and solve it. :wink:

The “Hi” volume setting does not appear when the player is set to the EU region. You can go under the player’s System settings and choose the Re-set option, and then choose N. America or Rest of world, to get the Hi setting back if it has disappeared.

That’s not difficult to avoid. Use one earbud in one ear. Problem solved. :slight_smile:

Indeed . . . otherwise the next sound yoiu hear may be the beep . . . beep . . . beep of the heart rate monitor or the whoosh . . . whoosh . . . whoosh of the respirator in the Intensive Care unit of the hospital. :dizzy_face:

 

 

Thank you so much for this solution.

For those of you who expressed worry about those of us that bike while listening to our players (I listen to podcasts, i.e. spoken word) - that’s a problem easily solved. Just listen with one earbud in one ear; leave the other clear to hear. Voilá!

If you listen to music with both ears covered or plugged, then, yeah, it’s kind of the equivalent of driving while distracted IMHO.

Sandisk has a peculiar habit of discontinuing its better products or (in this case) hamstringing them with updates and still discontinuing them. The original Fuze is still the best mp3 player I’ve ever seen for under $1,000.00 USD. In fact, though it originally cost under $100.00, I’ve seen new ones still in original packaging sell for up to $800.00 on eBay. I am a former studio guitarist and have run recording boards in studios and major outdoor concerts, so I’ve developed a decent ear for music. Aside from my Clip+, which I use sometimes for it’s size advantage, I still have 3 Fuzes left (I bought a bunch when I heard they were going to be discontinued). I’ve tested the Fuze against top iPods and other mp3 players in the $1,000.00 and under range using $2.000.00 studio reference headphones connected through an $800.00 headphone processor/DSP box and the Fuze was notably better than anything else. So of course, Sandisk replaced it with the Fuze+, which is a real PITA with a touchscreen you are constantly touching by accident, fouling up your listening. Sandisk still supports some of its much older Exxx models and inferior Clip versions, making it a real mystery why they discontinued the Clip+ and the Fuze. Sandisk just doesn’t get it.
