iPaq 4700 & Quiet Audio?

[Quantum]

I've just tried playing a music file, and it is way too quiet, even with the volume turned up full. Is this a known issue, and if so, is there a fix?

I'm concerned that if I can't understand my music in an airport, I certainly won't understand TomTom directions (when it ever arrives).

Aaanyone?

my 4700 is loud enough in low noise environments, in other locations i use the headset, for in the car i use an amplified car mount - really worth the purchase, if its very low output compare it to another in the shop - if defective send it back - just a thought but was the music ripped at a low volume to start with, if the vol is full up and screen tap audio enabled what does it sound like loud or not? - mike

Thanks.

With system sounds the volume is fine, but indeed with the mp3 I tried, too quiet. I'll try another mp3.

I bought the ProClip mount, cig charger only. You say the speaker option is worth it? I just hate that extra plug to fiddle with, but maybe it's necessary? Maybe I can exchange it.

the amplified car mount is a great bit of kit and it saves hammering the speaker in the ipaq, full vol is not good for a small device, I generally have the TT volume set to around 60% on the amplified mount and it is well loud over and above the kenwood head unit, I also play the audio from the ipaq (1GB CF card) and TT sounds through the car audio system via a radio (FM) transmitter - yep they are illegal in the UK but such a small RF signal is barley detectable outside of the car (and I have checked with some very sophisticated measurement equipment) - works great, not got the XDAIIs to work fully yet as a replacement for the trusty 4700 but it is getting there, a 1GB SD will sort it all out - Mike

Hi,

I found an interesting box (FastMute) which make it possible to connect ANY PDA to your car speakers(stereo).
No special radio required.
The box has a Mute-Generator (VOX) implemented.
In the moment (5ms later) the internal car speakers are switched off and the PDA sound comes amplified (9W Sin) to your car speakers.
There is only one 2 wire connection, from the ear phone jack to that box.
2 sec after the PDA sound has finished the speaker will be switched back (fall back) to your radio.
If you have a DIN loudspeaker connector just remove connectors from your radio and plug this box in between, connect to earphone output and power it, thats all.

Add On implemented for PDA MP3 users.
Autodetect for music. If the box is detecting music the fall back time will now be changed from 2s to now 15s. So no low volume music will cause any jitter in switching.

You can find this box here

The only problem is, that all informations are in German.
If there is some interest, I can translate the main items
