I have tried both SB and UE versions with the same issue. So I guess it somewhere a hardware problem. If it's the headphone socket I dont know but I have sprayed it with no positive result yet. Its quite annoying and I am considering opening up the unit and seeing if I can force the unit to "speak"er up. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ M8G's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=72324 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=115497 _______________________________________________ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
