PhilM44:
My understanding is that the volume level should be an option and not dictated to us. This is not Eurpoean Law just some think tank coming up with some recommendations.
I’m no expert on these regulations or laws, but The Register (normally considered trust worthy) claims the French _do_ have a _law_ restricting output. So, they aren’t being entirely unreasonable at Sandisk.
You can set the device to non-EU for standard setup (Reset to factory settings), and then set the radio to the right frequency/step zone (I can’t confirm this at the mo mind, but others claim it is possible).
However, I do feel Sandisk should (if allowed) put the normal/high volume option back - with suitable warning)
