SmartST V3 on PPC - screen freezes and sound lost

[Richard_D]

I have a Dell AXim X5 running SmartST V3. If I enable sound guidance two things happen: the sound goes very quiet after the 2nd message and the screen locks up at the next turn. Tapping the screen eventually (~30 sec) gets the map back until the next turn when it locks up again.

Disabling sound guidance cures the problem and it all works properly.

Has anybody experienced similar problems and found a cure?

Thanks,
Richard

I have found the answer to my problem (from a post on the Aximsite) and am posting it back here in case others find it useful.

On a Dell Axim, the Audio Driver patch V1.0 interferes with Navman and many other applications. The only way to remove the patch is a hard reset and rebuild from scratch.

Once removed, Navman and the Axim behaves perfectly.

On a similar thread, TomTom 5 and the Axim X5, you need to uncheck "link volume to speed" to get the voice to work reliably.

Rgds,
Richard
