![]() Sansa Fuze - insufficient volume after firmware updateOptions
01-26-2010 05:13 AM
After the latest firmware update the volume at its max sounds like a whisper. And from the System Settings the Volume option dissapeared! Thought this setting is set to Normal and should change it to High. But the Volume option does NOT exist anymore. I use the same set of headphones. Any ideas? Can I go back to the previous firmware? or should I get another MP3 player? Every time I update firmware I have all kinds of problems! All the radio presets dissapear as well! But the volume problem is the most annoying... Thank you everybody in advance.
Solved! Go to Solution. Re: Sansa Fuze - insufficient volume after firmware updateOptions
01-26-2010 05:30 AM the max volume change is to comply with the new European Union requirement click link below to download 01.02.28 to change this back

01-26-2010 07:29 AM - edited 06-16-2010 06:13 PM 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.

01-27-2010 06:51 PM Interesting. I had just a doubt because when I turned on for first time my new (wow!) Fuze I was requested to choose language (chosen italian, I am italian) and region (chosen rest of the word, I am in rest of the word). But as I knw that sometimes (as in this case) some function are disabled for laws on that region, I would like to know if "rest of the world" will preclude me some funciton and I should rather use north america.... |
