I bought a Fuze about 2 months ago, very happy with it when I bought it. It had Firmware 1.00000000000000001 or something on it (an old one anyway). I installed the new firmware 1.02.3F.
The first thing I noticed: max volume has gone down. MASSIVELY.
Its way too quiet now, too quiet for car or train journeys. I dont understand why there isnt more discussion about this, its criminal. The removed EU ruining everyones fun with their removed legislation.
So anyway, does anyone know where I could find an old firmware that doesnt have the volume cap, and how to install it? This would make me one happy bunny.
P.S DONT tell me to buy better headphones, I already have!!!

You don’t need to install an old Firmware. Just reset to factory settings and set the region to “rest of the world”, then you get a “volume” option in system settings which you can set to high.

Easy there, Trigger!
This is a G-Rated forum. There’s no sense in cussing out the EU here; they won’t see it. Besides, there’s a simple way around it, as has already been suggested to you.
More discussion? Are you kidding? Did you look around? There’s only about 5 threads on this issue floating around. That’s about 4 too many. Using the Search function, it would’ve taken you all of approx. 5 secs. to find one, another 15 secs. to finid and read the solution, and maybe a minute to power up the device and intiate the fix.
2 minutes total time investment . . . less time than it took to register and compose your post.

Okay fair point, but when I did a search it came up with loads of carp that wasn’t relevant. It surprised me I guessed it would be everywhere. Problem with the search function maybe, or me not trying hard enough. Thanks to earthcrosser for the solution
I wasn’t really expecting Herman van Rompuy to read this, just making the point that its a terrible piece of legislation lobbied in by health concern groups and people who say ‘think of the children’ without irony. I heard there was a court case aswell, someone with damaged hearing suing somebody. Its like the guy who sued Mcdonalds because their wasn’t a warning on his coffee cup that the contents was hot. What a load of horse manure.

I didn’t know this had changed to The Fishing Forum. :smileyvery-happy:
The Search function is great, but key words are, well . . . key to finding what you’re looking for. If you had typed in “low volume and firmware update” in the Search box, the very top (#1) result would have given you your answer.
