volume goes mute at 'high' levels

[itchyfeet]

hi,
Does anyone know why the sound on my X50V (2003SE) cuts out when I turn the volume up to the highest bar setting? It comes back on again when I turn it down again!

I don't normally usually listen to music that loud, but I've found the music capabilities on the x50v to be pretty poor in comparison to most mp3 players - contrary to most other members opinions. X50Mixer doesn't seem to help very much unfortunately.

Use "headphone boost" adjustment in x50mixer - you may need to lower it or headphones will cut off.
Supposedly x50v uses same sound chip like ipods?

No, it doesn't use the same chip as the iPods.
