Ottawa Canada Dear Barbara and List:
Barbara said it appears the headphone contacts seem to get dirty easily. I'm not sure if the headphone contacts get dirty easily or not, as the unit typically works through the headphones, not its built-in speaker. There is a little sensor in the headphone jack that senses the presence of the headphones and selects the headphone volume setting when they are plugged in, or the speaker volume when they are absent. This sensor may be a little prong that is moved slightly when you plug in headphones. It appears this sensor fails to sense the absence of the headphones at times. I haven't taken my Stream apart, but the prong in the headphone jack is how a radio typically transfers sound from the speaker to headphones. However radios do not usually have separate volume settings for speaker and headphones like the Stream does. Brian Brian K.
