zune volume glitch???

aznlittlebr0ther · 04-27-2008, 08:29 AM

I recently bought a new pair of skullcandy ink'd in-ear earphones and found out that when I put the volume to 0 on my zune 30, i can still hear the music playing very softly. also, when i put the volume on 1, the music seems to be very loud. (i have sensitive ears) Does anyone know how to fix this or has anyone else experienced this?

never had it.. try doing reset on zune...

aznlittlebr0ther · 04-27-2008, 08:36 AM

through the software or on the zune itself?

Do you have a volume control bar on the earphones themselves?

zune itself.. if a regular reset don't work.. then do a hard reset (delete all music and firmware)

aznlittlebr0ther · 04-27-2008, 08:39 AM

no...it happens with the jvc marshmallow also

ok.. i'll try that

runtohell121 · 04-27-2008, 08:46 AM

try not to double post please. and go try the resets.

Don't reset! Good God, what is with you people and resetting every damn thing? That's not going to fix a speaker output problem, but if you want to delete everything off your Zune and have to re-sync it, go for it. I don't even see a problem with the volume not turning off all the way, it's not like you can't TAKE THE HEADPHONES OUT or pehaps PAUSE THE SONG.

aznlittlebr0ther · 04-27-2008, 09:13 AM

too late...i already reset it. it's syncing right now...i'll see if it still does it after it's done syncing

i finished reseting it and syncing it...i can still hear the music playing when the volume is 0

stkr · 04-27-2008, 11:08 AM

Though I can't tell you why you can hear music at 0, I can tell you that 1 is pretty loud for me as well. I'm not sure if I have sensitive ears or not, but 1 is loud enough for me overall for music, and only irregularly low songs will require me to turn up the volume.

aznlittlebr0ther · 04-27-2008, 11:10 AM

yea, i wish the zune would make the lowest volume lower or make a volume limit control thing like the ipod has

It could be a biological error...

By the way try not to double post

runtohell121 · 04-27-2008, 11:56 AM

maybe you should call microsoft if this haven't been solved it.. 877-get-zune. maybe it can be the jack problem.

Chri(Z)tian · 04-27-2008, 11:59 AM

Just wondering did you try a hard reset...or a restart...because those are two totally different things. If you did a hard reset...try a simple restart. To restart your zune press back and up at the same time and wait for the zune logo to appear. Sometimes a simple restart can do the trick.

If that doesn't work then I really have no clue..call MS...just a suggestion.

aznlittlebr0ther · 04-27-2008, 12:47 PM

i did the reset where it deletes the firmware also

Saline · 04-27-2008, 03:37 PM

IT"S NOT THE FIRMWARE. It's obviously an audio problem, which is completely unrelated. Call and ask for a replacement or go on living with the horrible problem of the volume not going all the way off. God forbid.

How can you be so sure. It only makes sense that they run through the basics before resorting to requesting a new unit. I realize that restoring the device is not going to fix every issue, but it should at least be given a try. I don't see why an audio issue has to be hardware related, since the firmware dictates how loud the audio is being played. The hardware should dictate how loud it can be. When you turn the volume down doesn't the actual process consult the firmware for increments in volume and then reduce or increase the volume by that much through the hardware?
