Muvo V200: noise when backlight is lit

Hi,
I have a Muvo V200 and it makes an annoying noise when the backlight is lit (ie: when changing track, navigating through the menu, when it's powered on,...).
I have the latest firmware. I heard it could be fixed by using a previous version of the firmware: anyone can confirm this ? If so, where can I find a version of the firmware that would not create this noise ?
Anyway, I hope it will be fixed in future firmwares !
Leo.

I do find it annoying but I don't want to turn off backlight. I don't have bought a player with a backlight to turn it off...
Btw, it seems the problem has already been reported almost two years ago on these forums: how come Creative did not come with a solution to the problem and, even worst: are still selling players that still have this problem today ?

MuVo Micro N200 1GB Disturbing noise when backlight

I have a very disturbing noise when the backlight is lit on my MuVo Micro N200? Is this normal?

Hi,
Very recently a noise, a very loud hissing sound is produced by my MuVo Micro N200 GB. I have this player since early in the beginning of the 4th quarter last year. Few weeks after a bought it, it will just flash "creative" and wont turn on. I returned it the vendor and they were able to fix it after 3 weeks. (Sorry for the long introduction)
Now after more than 6 mos. a very loud hissing sound is heard from it, you won't even hear the music, the recording is okay, the radio is okay only when you play MP3, you'll hear nothing but noise.
Sometimes when I turn it off and then on, it will disappear but then only after a few songs, it will start to hiss again. It's quite frustrating.

MuVo N200 "hiss" when backlight is

I just bought a MuVo N200.Everytime the backlight is On, I hear a "hiss".
When backlight is off, no ""hiss".
Is it defect and can I get it repaired/exchanged ?

If the new firmware won't fix your problems, there will be a (software) fix in the end of Februari.
More information on the background noise can you find at the old Europian forum: http://uk.europe.creative.com/suppor...asp?thre=52447
Any information from Creative about the fix?

IPhone only makes alert noises when screen is lit up

For some reason my iPhone now only makes alert noises for new emails, texts, etc if the screen is lit up. If the screen is black, it doesn't make any noise so i never know i got an email or text. Is there a setting for this somewhere?

Go into Settings > Notification Center and tap each app to see if "Show on lock screen" is set to ON (green side showing)

MUVO V200 FILE SYSTEM ER

I know i don't have a recent product but maybe someone can help me.. I have mp3 muvo v200 and when I try to turn it on it only appears "file system error" and then it turns off. I can't switch it on anymore.. I inserted the usb port in my pc and noticed that all the songs where in the memory anywhere. I tried to format?the disk but nothing happened...does anyone have any suggest? how can I make it work again?please help me! thank you for your attention!

You need to get the firmware from Support->Downloads and then run it to reload it onto your player. During the reload click the Format Data Area option and all will be well again. PB

Soft screeching sound on Muvo V200 when backlight is on

Um, anyone pls help me... I just bought my Muvo V200 and the first time I on it, there's a soft screeching and disturbing sound.. But when the backlight off, the sound disappears.. When i press a button, the backlight ons and the same screeching sound comes out... The sound is like (YEEEEEEE)... PLease reply to me asap anyone.. Thanks.

Just disable the backlight if the sound bothers you. It is very easy. Just set the backlight time to zero. Using 32 ohm earphones rather than 6 ohm ones might make the backlight noise almost inaudible if you find a need to use the backlight.

Noise/hiss on MuVo V200 during playb

I experience a noise/hiss on a GB MuVo V200 audible even when the light is off (though it is louder with light on). It is present all the time when the playback goes, but stops for a moment during the gap between the songs. I noticed this since the music listened was of ambiental type, and I listnede to on very low volume (indicator was at 2). It does not depend on music source. I thought it was intereference from FM, but is stops betweeen the songs it is not so. And it is very annoying. Is this s serial problem know? BTW, firmware is .05.02 - I did not want to flash it before checking is it worthwhile ...

I upgraded the player to the latest firmware ... no changes; you can actually hear the noise/hiss if the playback is on even if you turn the volume to zero.
Anyone, any idea? Should I try replacing th unit with another one (it's actually not easy to do here where I li've ...)
Please!

Muvo V200 turns off when trying to enter the FM Radio opt

My Muvo V200 (52MB) stopped working. I was not able to turn it on: after pressing the power button the CREATIVE text was displayed and that was all. To solve this problem I've reinstalled the firmware (.2.03e version). The player is ali've now, but the FM Radio stopped working. When I try to use the FM Radio option, the player just turns off.
How can I solve this problem? Is there any way to install an older firmware vesrion?

Yes, I did - with no result.
But your advices lead me to one more solution, of which I hadn't thought before. I've tried to install the latest firmware (.2.03) in the recovery mode. And guess what? My V200 is fully functional again.
I'm not quite sure if it was the recovery mode or the slightly different file version which made the trick. This time I've used the MuVoV200_PCFW_LF__2_03.exe file (without the "e" suffix). But I'm almost sure I've also tried it in the normal mode before, which lead me to the broken radio function as in case of the MuVoV200_PCFW_LF__2_03e.exe file.
What are the differences between MuVoV200_PCFW_LF__2_03 and MuVoV200_PCFW_LF__2_03e? After extracting these files I can see that their contents differ.

A Problem With Muvo V200 !!

Hi everybody, I've bought a Muvo V200 GB, and it works well , less one thing:
When the blue light is activated I feel a very "high-pitched" sound, and it's very unpleasant.
Can somebody tell me if there is a firmware that fix that problem ?
I've tried to format the usb flash but I still have this problem. And I've also seen some posts in other forums that complain about that.

No, the problem is with the V200 hardware itself, not the headphones. But using a higher impedance phone results in this high frequency noise being greatly attenuated. Being a hardware issue, there is no possible firmware fix for this. The only option is to go to a higher impedance phone (the Koss KSC-75 sounds great and is available for $5 from amazon.com) or li've with the problem. You can of course set the player to have the backlight always off - this will also eliminate the problem except at startup but will make adjustments more difficult in the dark.

Muvo V200 or Muvo TX

THX for suggestions.
btw, heard that some muvo v200 have a bug, such as a buzz that it's present during song and esp when led is on.
Is the TX FM affected by same bug too?
all other specifications are just the same? or some rilevant difference?
thx U

The backlight buzz affects all of the flash memory players AFAIK but is not very noticeable.
The volume scale depends on which firmware version you use but the latest versions for all of the players use 0-25.

The MuVo V200 beltclip is a joke, Now I have no player. What Can I

Hello all, I'm very disappointed with the Muvo V200 Beltclip. I have had my Muvo since the 9th Jan 2005 and have been using it all the time and had no problems with it what so ever. But yesterday I had taken my player out with me. I had it connected to the beltclip as always. I had taken my headphones out of my ears when I was asking some bloke a question and did not but them back in till about 0 minutes later. When I put them back in I went to turn my player on, But I could not feel it, I look on my belt and all that was there was the dark grey clip that held the player to the belt. I still had the head phones but they must unplugged when the player fell. I retraced my steps but I had no luck finding my player.
All I have now are the Headphones and a dark grey clip, But looking at the dark grey clip there is a hole at the back, which I think something should have been there.
So as you can imagine, I'm very disappointed. What I would like to ask is, Is the loss of my player covered by the English Warranty?
Because I do believe the Beltclip had failed, letting the player fall from my belt. I done my best to find it, but as I said, to no luck.
All thats left now is the part of the clip and the headphones.

sorry for the poor pic (taken on my phone)Message Edited by DrMartin on 04-04-2005 0:42 AM

On the day it happened I was wearing a shirt that covered the top part of my jeans, So only the headphones would have let people know Im carrying a player, If someone was to take it, the only way to remove it would be to lift it, but I still had the clip part of the holder. If someone did take it by ripping it off I would have known about it.
Ok as for it not disconnecting from the headphones I don't know, My headphones did not fall with it, and I did not feel it falling. What I do know is that I have lost my gig V200.
I will phone Creative first thing Monday, But what I was looking for here was someone who might have had the same thing happen with the V200 or another MP3 player, and did the Warranty cover it's

MUVO V200 Help Required

Hi,
I recently purchased a MUVO V200 with 52 mb memory.
My first problem was the FM radio would not work, but I have since put this down to it requiring more power from the batteries than standard music. Bit of a pain as my rechargable batteries, even when fully charged won't allow the FM radio to work. Is this normal?
My main problem; is since reformating the dri've and loading new firmware, the player will only store 00 songs, the packaging advises 256 songs. Can anyone explain if there is anything I can do to enable me to load more songs.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks
James

I have Uniross 770mAh, Energizer 850mAh and Hahnel 900mAh, all .2V and all work fine.
You can convert the files you have to a different bit-rate using the Audio Converter function of MediaSource that came with your player. If you use MediaSource to rip your CDs then you can set it up to rip at a lower bit-rate right from the start.
MediaSource and V200 Media Explorer also have a SmartFit function where the files can be reduced in size as you transfer them to your player, though this slows down the transfer process and you would have to do it again if you reloaded the same files again at a later date.
If these are files from an online music store then you probably can't convert them directly because of the license issues, but you can burn them to an audio CD then re-rip them at a lower bit-rate. If you use a CD-RW then you don't end up wasting a load of CD-Rs.

Despite that I cannot copy all my files.
Does anyone knows wht is going on?

I've also tried to move the music over in the Creative Organizer whoever get "An error occured" message. I also can't create a new folder on my MP3 Player in the organizer using the "New" button.
Any help would be much appreciated.
