Crappy external speaker

My speaker distorts sound at any volume level.

I'm curious if that is typical of the Axim or is mine broken?

This is the case playing back recordings, music in winampaq, wm8, etc.

Earbuds in the headphone jack work great though.

My speaker isn't great, either. And when I connect headphones, it is much better. What can you expect from a very small speaker, I guess.
Today I beat my own previous record for number of consecutive days I've been alive.

Hi KnipKnup

Not sure what you mean when you say "distorts" - the quality of my speaker is pretty poor too.

But if you've got a car kit for a portable cd player then you can really give it some.

I often keep my unit in a case on my belt, and can listen to music pretty well even with the flap covering the speaker. It's not loud, but it sounds pretty clear for an alert buzzer playing audio.

The only real distortion I hear is the loss of low frequencies and accentuation of highs, with some hiss always present when playing anything.
Persistence can pass for brilliance

HISS cancelation advice

Try using something with 32ohm resistance.

16 ohm headphones or any audio speaker will creat hiss i guest

see my post at

That was working in my case. Hiss is gone completely. Good luck.

I have some dollar store speakers that for some reason won't work at all with my x5, but it will work with my computer
