Hi Axim Users

I got a problem with my X5. I got into listening sound on my device cause I just bought a 512mb Compact Flash card. Now I figured that the quality of the sound is very poor and I don't know what the reason could be. No matter if I play it through Windows Media Player or another downloaded Music player, I always get the same problem.....

.... some mp3 files give out a strange voice, they kinda crackle! It sounds like the speaker is broken, but the strange thing is that some mp3 files do play normally. I have all my files on at least 128kps so that's not the reason for the bad quality.

Did somebody have the same problem already or does someone know a way to get rid of this problem?

I hope you guyz can help me.

Best wishes,

Silverstorm

Are you running WM2003? Wasn't there an audio update patch released? Check the Dell website for the lastest patches.

I know but I already have installed the update and it didn't help.

Are you using the speaker to listen to music? Or headphones?

It's hissing on both speaker and earphone, right?
I have the same problem. It goes away after you play for a few minutes and it does come back after a while.

There were ppl sending the unit back to Dell for replacment but too bad mine is out of warranty already.

same thing with me, very irritating. When ever it happens, I stop the song, and then play it again, and it's fine.

Hey ecsw

Do you know if the Dell guys could fix the ppl's devices? I don't wanna miss my Axim for a long time when the guys can't do anything about it! But I can't get what the problem is anyway. Sometimes it works, sometimes not! I mean that can't be a software problem neither looks like a hardwore problem :rolling:

Anyway, let's hope for other tips and tricks.

Best wishes,
