Pam,
I am also thinking the volume limitation is a hardware issue. If
this is a really big problem, you are able to purchase external
speakers from Radio Shack, the "ones that are use for the GPS, so
they are portable and small and also louder.
I hope this helps.

I don't know why they lowered the volume, especially since so
many of
us have hearing problems as well. I suppose that's a matter of
hardware then and couldn't be fixed in a later software release?

Hi Carl,

I have a customer with a new Braille Note mPower. He is

another volume setting or offset or something to fix this. Am I
right or
nuts? Thanks.
You're right, sort of. If you go into Options, then Review
Voice, you can
set the speech volume to a maximum of 5. The default is 3.
Despite having
done that on my MPower transplant, then cranking the master
volume to 32,
it's still considerably lower than the classics' maximum volume,
which is a
bummer, especially if you use it in noisy areas such as crowded
rooms with
lively conversation, outdoors on a busy street, et cetera. I
guess the amp
in the new units just doesn't have the same power. If you want
to buy an
external powered speaker and schlep that around, it's a possible
option.
Radio Shack makes one of those, and there are others around that
I've read
about from time to time.
