The main source of the audio at the lowest volume is the clearest. Lets say you have a Zune and you have headphones with volume control. It would be more distorted if the Zune volume was all the way up, and the headphone volume low. The reason why, I have no idea. Just happens that way.

if theres a little sound it ok besides i just pause it i dont bring it to zero, i leave it at 7 or 8 or 9. and regarding the above post i have no idea but thats very true for all speakers and headphones.

Its not the Zune. Its the headphones. 0 is supposed to be none, but it cant because of Zune's amplifiers etc. when a headphone amplifies. it adds it to a one. so you can hear it

another possibility is your mind is tricked into thinking you hear it, because of the awkward silence after hearing it.

smashxsmashxsara · 07-04-2008, 05:09 PM

You're just as sane as the rest of us. Lol. I'm a zune 30, I hear it too. It's just the 30. My sister and friends have the 4,8,80 and it doesn't happen.

Darkblade · 07-05-2008, 06:47 PM

Zune 30 here, with an around-head right earphone. At '0', I can't hear a thing, I can hear '1' quite clearly.

Normal listening volume for me is 6-7 when quiet, 4-5 if out in public/other people. Anything above 9 for me is ear-splittingly loud.

As a few others have said, headphones don't really make a difference, only in quality of sound, not in volume. It's entirely possible that the 30 and second gen Zunes may treat the level '0' volume differently. Either way, if you want to leave your headphones in, and don't want to hear music? Turn off the Zune.

Illegal · 07-06-2008, 03:13 PM

im with the guy above, i can still hear it on 0, but 9 is deafeningly loud for me. zune 30

iruka · 07-09-2008, 12:22 AM

I've seen this happen in other players, but not on my Zune (it's a 4GB). I wouldn't worry about it since it doesn't mean there's something wrong with it so it's ok. Maybe it's the type of earphones you use, I don't know xD

ZuneLover2.0 · 07-09-2008, 01:11 AM

I tried it on my zune and don't hear anything.

So for anyone who cant hear this, it just means that you don't hear as well as others, because this is so on every audio output device made

Yeah... When I put the volume all the way down on my laptop and I use headphones, I can still faintly hear the sound.

Zunefreaker · 07-15-2008, 02:42 PM

i sometimes can hear it perfectly with 0 volume with zune earphones that they give you with the zune... Sometimes volume 1 is even loud with some of the songs..

jordanmartos · 07-16-2008, 01:36 PM

I tried it. I didn't hear anything.
And I wouldn't be able to listen to my music at 11 for soothing bedtime music. I keep it between 1 and 3 if I am trying to sleep and listen to it.

RICHxPUNKxROCKER · 07-20-2008, 05:55 PM

Oddly, its happen to me and I'm an 8gb user!

Netrix · 07-27-2008, 07:53 AM

I usually always have my volume at 20 unless I need to concentrate on something.

BMXICAN · 08-06-2008, 07:16 PM

I have a zune 30 and i dont hear nothing i checked in my basment so there was no noise around maybe its just certain head phones or something

amplitudefreq · 08-08-2008, 10:58 AM

First of all, you have great hearing because 0 is a very low level of sound. I can hear mine at 0 too but only when the room is dead silent in the middle of the night and nothing is rustling the leaves outside

guitarfreak846 · 08-23-2008, 12:12 AM

mine does this as well

133794m3r · 08-23-2008, 04:14 AM

I tried this on my Zune 30 w/ the premium headphones and I hear something faintly at 0..... weird glitch....

chrisisshiloh · 08-31-2008, 11:35 AM

this is so odd it doesnt happen on my 8gb

matrixcaptain84 · 09-09-2008, 12:29 PM

I've got a Zune 80GB and it doesn't occur on mine either, '0' gives me no sound at all.
