very low sound from audio files(mp3, wma)

[Guest rodnav]

i need help ...

i've recently gotten a 512 mb mini sd card for my imate sp3i...

i transfered my mp3 and wma's

my problem is that winddows media player and betaplayer plays the songs on very low volume... even the sounds of videos on betaplayer are barely audible. this was not a problem when a few of my wma's and videos were in the phone memory. ... i tried transfering one of them back to the phone and it sounded fine... and i tried playing the mini sd card in my xda mini2 itl sounded fine..., my ringtones are ok even though they're also in the memory card

is there a problem with my mini SD card? it's a MUSE brand. or is it media player and beta player?

thanks.

Just to start with obvious things :D

Is the phone volume set to full (volume button on left side of phone) ?

Do you have a separate volume adjustment on your earphpones ?

yes, the volume is set at 10.

headset volume is the same...

i tried copying a file to the phone memory again and now the volume is also very low... i can't barely hear them anymore... i hear people better when they're on speakerphone or the wave files as ringtones.

the volume up and down buttons don't seem to work anymore too. only voice record and voice tag works

Strange :-k

The only thing I can think of is to turn off the phone, fully recharge the battery and then turn it back on again although the fact that the volume up/down buttons don't work could mean it's corrupted.

I haven't had this problem so far but maybe someone else has some ideas.

what is corrupted? should i hard reset the phone?

*** tried the volume up/down buttons in a call and they work

Corrupted means containing errors.

Only hard reset if nothing else works.

[Guest rodnav]

i meant which is corrupted, the phone or memory card?

i'll try to do a hard reset.

[Guest mirpy1]

did you format the card first?

[Guest squall]

try turning the volume fully down then back up

[Guest rodnav]

i did all of your suggestions.. couldn't even do a hard reset... unit off left and right softkeys + power... hold... no clear storage!... tried it 5x... no joy...

finally i just downloaded an update at clubimate and used that to reflash the phone and now everything is back to normal... with some improvements courtesy of the 1.2 ROM update.
