Hi,
i have a Creative Zen which is sometimes attach to the Hi-Fi but
the Output Level is OK for headphones, but too LOW for connecting to a
HiFi. Anyone know if the is any solution for this?
Thanks


Creative often (always?) knobble the maximum sound output levels in their
european firmwares. If there is a version of firmware for you mp3 player
for the american market it might help. Check compatibility first, and make
sure you know hoe to avoif bricking the mp3 player. Creatives forum had
lots of info on this last time I looked.



as do apple and sony - at least.
it's european law - designed to save your ears.
only problem is it leaves no scope to get around the fact that at a given
volume level one track will be deafening while another will be whisper
quiet.
