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.

Equium M70: strange screeching sound from speakers

I have an Equium M70 and within the last 2 days have been getting strange screeching sounds from the speakers when using Windows.
Cd's/DVD's seem to run as normal but when I open up I get a piercing high pitched sound for about a minute, if I then click on a link or shorcut I get a double short screech.
I've tried running the system diagnostic test but when it gets to the wav sound check the screech becomes almost unbearable and the whole thing just hangs there util I terminate the test.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Hi,
I know that I ran into this problem not that long ago. The resolution was to reinstall windows and the sound was fixed. But that was just my case and yours could be a more severe case. Try plugging in headsets and seeing if that fixes the problem. I think that somehow the problem I had was with windows sound files. It played all audio files just fine, except any windows generated wave files, at which point it screeched etc. Recovered with the CD's and it works fine now. Try to use the recovery CD's, if that does not help I suggest taking it to your ASP and have them check it out. Have a nice day.

IPhone 4S is making random screeching sounds.

My phone is making random screeching sounds in my ear when I am on a call. Other party seems unaffected. Any ideas?

There is a slew of other discussions on the net about the same thing. do some research there.

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 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.

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?

Odd screeching sounds when using iChat Theater

Whenever I'm sending files over iChat theater there's a prolonged screeching sound much like the one you hear in the soundtrack of the film Psycho. One guess of mine was the volume of the speakers, but then, even when that's low, file sharing still emits those strange sounds. Any ideas what may cause them?
Mine is a PowerBook G4 running Leopard with a DSL connection. The other end uses a brand new Intel iMac.

On Laptops go to System Preferences > Sound > Input tab and adjust the Volume downwards.
If this does not work go to Hard Drive/Library/Preferences and delete com.apple.audio.DeviceSettings.plist and reboot the Mac.
NOTE: This is the Library that shows up when you open the Hard Drive (NOT the one in your Home Folder OR the one inside System)

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.

Hiss Sound on MuVo V

I just bought a <MuVo V200 256mb.Everytime the <B>backlight</B> is turned ON, I hear a "hiss" sound.
When <B>backlight</B> is turned OFF, the "hiss" sound disappear.
I believe this problem is silimar to what others experience on their <MuVo N200 models. When will there be a firmware update for <MuVo V200? I have formatted my mp3 player and reload the most recent .0.03 firmware, but the problem still persists. If this problem can be solved by a firmware update, that would be great as i don't have time to go down to the service centre.
I notice that a fairly accurate description of the problem is silmilar to that experienced by the author of http://www-users.rwth-aachen.de/Niko.Wilbert/click/. This website was previously posted in one of the postings in this forum.

its because of the way that these backlight displays work
once you understand this it is quite easy to see where the hiss comes from
basically all the backlit LCD screens function like this
in the early 80s there was a technological brakethrough which allowed scientists to crossbread a gloworm and a snake rusulting in a glowsnake... if you hit a glowsnake with a rollingpin it becomes flat and you can fit it in an lcd screen. it spends most of its time asleep but when you tell the backlight to come on the player awakens it by sending a radio signal to a snake charmer in north east india and the snake charmer plays the waking up song for your corresponding glowsnake. when the snake awakens it produces mainly blue and green colours and makes a hissing sound.
recent studies have shown that you could crossbreed a sloath and a gloworm and sloaths dont make many noises so you would have a silent backlight... i dont belei've this though, the idea of a sloath backlight sounds stupid to me.
hope this helps

My MuVo V200 doom

so here is the thing:
i bought my muvo v200 maybe few years ago and it has been working perfectly since it started to have problems connecting with my pc. it couldnt kinda connect with the pc. when i put it into my usb port the sound of "new device connected" played and right after it the sound of the device is unplugged and again connect/disconnect sound and it keeps doing that as long as the stick is put into the usb port.
so when it was doing that first time the problem disappeared eventually. but now the problem appeared again and it wouldnt disappear. so i read about the recovery device and tried to do the things mentioned in that post, even more problems appeared. before that event i was able to listen music with the player but couldnt connect it with my pc. now, when i tried to flash the new firmware on it there was an error which said something about timeout during the update and then the update was cancelled.
well there was that text blinking that do not disconnect the device during update, and then the error came so it kinda disconnected it during the update. now i cannot even put it on anymore, so i cannot listen to music anymore with my muvo .
i've tried to connect it with my second computer which just have been formatted and windwos has been reinstalled on it. same problem there with connecting and updating.
even my computer's bios displays that 4 usb devices are connected, and when i put muvo to the usb port it shows 5 devices connected, and after a few seconds it shows 4 and again 5 and so on...
is there anything i could do or is my player completely doomed?

If the firmware download was interrupted unfortunately the only way to fix the player is directly reprogramming the ROM, which is beyond what a user can do. You'll most likely have to pay for Creative to repair the player.

Suggestion firmware MuVo v200 Radio

I have a MuVo v200 GB vith 32 radios FM. Firmware .02.0e. It's a marvellous produced.
Suggestion: To be able to indicate the name of the stations FM memorized.
How: by creating a file fm.ini (simple textual file) containing following informations.
Example: If the user memorized the 5 following stations FM, he writes the file fm.ini according to and memorizes it in the root of key USB of the MuVo.
fm.ini file contains:
--- file beginning ---; no checking enters the frequency and the name of the station.;="Radio Creative the best"2="Radio France"3="Radio jazz"; 3="Radio culture"32="Radio Tour-Eiffel;; it's very simple for the user; Perhaps that it is feasible for the programmer--- end of the file ---
Thank you very much.

The latest firmware was a .0.xx version but it seems to have gone from the website - it will not do anything to improve your WAV recording.
What do you mean by voice and FM recording are BAD. That is down to how the player samples and encodes what it hears - changing the format to mp3 will not enhance your recordings. For example, the music on a CD is effecti'vely the same format as a WAV file and when you rip it to mp3 then the quality gets worse not better, due to the basic design of how encoding works - it removes some parts of the sound to allow it to be compressed into a smaller filesize..
It has never been said that you can't downgrade your firmware but peole do seem to have trouble getting it to work.

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.
