Has anybody had a problem with the "auxillary in" port in their new xB? For example:

1) lots of static
2) you have to turn the volume up over 50 and the sound is still low and muffled

Any input (no pun intended) would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

 

I would think something may be up with the wiring if you have static AND have to crank it.

I had issues w/ static but purchased the following to fix it

no i dont have that probelm i have my sirius raido hooked up to it and it works great. what are you plugging into the aux port?

 

It is a friend of mine who is trying to run his mp3 player through it. I don't have a make of the mp3 available. I'll try to grab further details asap. Thanks!

 

Does it do it at all speeds or just when stopped ?

 

I would recommend a new patch cable from the MP3 player to the jack also - me and another member were fighting that issue last night only to find out the cable was bad....

 

I've had the problem with having to turn the volume up. I learned that I have to turn the volume up on the mp3 player in order to hear the music.

 

There are people that download music on sights like Limewire But we Mad Scionist would'nt do that The volume seems to change alot on these recording....High-Low....I HEARD that keeping SoundCheck on will even things out.....And Keeping volume on high will help This is on The Ipod

 

I do notice that alot of songs will fade at times.....It seems to be the older ones.....I'm playing around with setting in itunes......Soundcheck....Sound enhancer...etc..I then restore my ipod and see if transfer gets better You can also change radio setting....Think there are 3...

 

No static here but I do have to turn the volume to max on my MP3 player(SanDisk) and then adjust the volume on the radio to make it work correctly.

 

That large **** has 3 setting.....Set it to FEEL and it will sound alot louder....Change while you are listening....It still sounds a little low

 

I did notice some similar issues with my Ipod Shuffle. various speaker volumes would cut in and out. Didnt do it at first, just started the other day.

 

I have my Zune hooked up to my AUX port and havent had any problems, i just bought a really good AUX cable, Monster audio 30.00 bucks...

 

Mad-Scionist......That was my plan...........But I need for Ipod connection What is Tech name for this cable
