Travel Dock Zen Micro volumn issue

I just got the Travel Dock and I put my Zen Micro in but it isn't very loud.
I have the volumn on the docking station all the way up and the volumn on the Micro all the way up, but it isn't very loud. Any suggestions?

I also have the same issue. I can hear the background music and backup vocals, but the main vocals are really, really quiet - like the singer has locked themselves in the bathroom and the rest of the band are in the room with me!? Plus, the volume will not go up very high. Does anyone have any ideas about this?

Travel Dock Zen Micro IS Availa

While wondering about Best Buy today, I discovered the Travel Dock Zen Micro in stock. Just 30 days ago Creative told me they didn't know when this product would be available in the US. One reason for the delay may have been the MicroPhoto because the box shows both Micro and MicroPhoto being used in the device. Best Buy's price is $29 US.
An earlier discussion in another thread claimed the Travel Dock lid (which doubles as the desktop stand) could not be closed with the Micro in place. The box clearly shows that it can, so I will be checking it out later today. The box also lists an accessory for the unit I hadn't heard of before, a matching powered subwoofer.

My Micro is playing in the TravelDock as I write this. And I can confirm that the lid does close with the Micro in place. The unit has a good sound. I've got it full volume right now. There is no deep bass, but again, these are .5 inch speakers. I will try a powered subwoofer I have with the unit later. There is enough power to fill an average size room or to enjoy the music outside. There is a switch that alters the sound field from narrow to wide. The effect is noticeable if you are listening for it. The connection between the TravelDock and the Micro is easy to make and the Micro sits very securely in the dock. The lid works as desktop stand as well and is held in place by two rubber grippers that are rather stiff and needed some coaxing to work. I will expect these will loosen with use. The documentation on Creative's website says the TravelDock doesn't include batteries, but mine did have 4 Eveready alkalines in the box.
Not too many people have seen the MicroPhoto yet, but apparently it is not exactly the same size as the Micro. There is a small rubber self adhesi've spacer included with the TravelDock. The manual says this small spacer needs to be inserted into the dock if you plug in a MicroPhoto, So, I'm guessing the MicroPhoto is a few millimeters thinner than the Micro. Is that right?

Travel Dock Zen Micro Question

Hello everyone,
For my holiday I want to buy a set of speakers for my Zen Micro 6GB. I looked around a little bit and found a couple of speakersets. One of them is the Zen Micro traveldock. It looks great and its very clever made with all its features. But now I have some questions about this:
1. Can I charge my Zen Micro with the Travel Dock without the USB-connection, so only the DC-connector ? Because in the description at the Dutch Creatice site it`s not very clear, there they wrote down that you can charge the Zen when you connect the travel dock to a USB-device, so i`m not sure you can do it with the DC only ?
2. Is the soundquality good ? Well, everybody has something different to say about it, but in general you can say something about it. Is it bad, normal or good ? And is the volume power a little bit good ?

Travel Dock Zen Micro

Just wondering if the was available in Australia? Would luv to get my hands on one and if not from Australia, where and how can I get one? Do any of the other speaker systems have similar features as the , such as 2-in- docking and charging station, battery and/or mains power source and IR remote control. Any suggestions greatly appreciated.
Cheers Willo

For the first question, I think it charges on the DC-Connector, I have read the explanation and no usb is mentioned (at least I didn't see one).
And for the 2nd question, I think that some people say the volume is not so good. They say that it would be good for small rooms and such not big places. They also mentioned that if you put the volume really high, then it could damage the speakers.
Hope that helped a little. Make a wise decision! :P

Zen Micro Battery Issue: Won't Char

Hello:
I got my Micro for Christmas and really like it so far. I also got lucky and received one of the limited edition ones with the extra battery. However, it doesn't appear that the extra battery charges to full. I have the new firmware and everything, but the second battery won't charge to more than two bars. Has anyone else experienced this, or does anyone else have a possible solution? The other battery works fine.
Thanks!

Thanks for the advice. I ran the battery to dead, and then I plugged it in. However, the player wasn't doing the normal "glow" thing, although it was showing the battery charging icon. I then plugged the player into my laptop, whereupon it started glowing. After putting it back into the regular charger, it worked fine. The same issue happened with the other battery (the glowing stopped, but after plugging it into the laptop it worked again). Weird, but it works fine now!

Docking Zen Micro in a

I recently bought a zm and already have it hooked up to my car through the rca jacks of my cd player. The music plays great, but constantly having to reach for my zm to change songs is getting tiresome. What docks or holdsters fit it and would let me stick it on my dash or console? Thanks.

There could be cup holders that work uni'versally. It's like a cellphone holder in a car, you can pull that clip far enough to fit the Micro. The only problem is that I don't know any docks out there.
Or you can probably just get the remote.

Zen Micro Installation issu

Ok, so I put the disk in and chose Full installation and stuff, but eventually when it gets to 39% is freezes and this error message comes up saying DoInstall fails to launch D:\CDRipwiz\Setup.inx DoInstall return error code is -2472332. Then I click ok and the error message comes up saying, can not continue istallation, error -00. Please help, I would like to get this issue solved so I can use my new player.
Thanks,
-Pete.

Just to let you know. After about 6 hours of pain staking searching and trying different things I managed to get around the error. I ran a Windows XP disk cleanup to remove all Download Program Files, Temporary Internet Files, Recycle Bin, Temporary Files and Compress old files. I then tried to reinstall the MediaSource using the Custom Option and deselecting everything. This just installed the base MediaSource application. I was then able to install the plugin and other bits by Updating from the Creative Download site.

Zen micro can not be operate if it is connected to Travel Dock for Zen

I just bought Travel Dock for Zen Micro. I have 2 problems. Any body can help me please? 1. When I connect the Zen Micro to Travel dock. The Zen micro can not be operate both manual or using remote. But the charge sign in the Zen micro is appeared. So I am sure that the connection between Zen Micro and the travel dock is OK. No sound is produced. Any clue for it. 2. The I tried to connect the zen using line in cable. There is sound, but the sound is too weak, even if I set the maximum volume. Any clue for it? Any one has the same problem? How to overcome it? Thanks before for your helping and information

hey Jason thx for reply well it's weird like I said but whenever I downloaded the firmware ver. 2..0 or something the newest one it just said that the Player/USB was not hooked up to the computer when it actually was and it doesn't play any music it goes straight to restore mode. tell me if you need to know a little bit more thx

Creative Zen Travel Dock problems

I only got my travel dock at Christmas and have used it a massive 3 times. It's broken already. It plays the bass no problem but all the "front" music and vocals are tinny and very quiet. It hasn't been dropped, mishandled or anything like that and has always been connected in accordance with the instructions. When turning it on, it just charges the zen micro player and the only way I can get it to play music is by connecting the player when it is on and playing which is what you're not supposed to do.

Nuevarine,
Is the connection pushed all the way in? Have you tried a different set of earphones or headphones yet?

Zen micro travel d

does anybody own the travel dock for the zen micro or zen micro photo
do you like it i am thinking about getting one but have heard somethings
about how they don't sound very good.
Please reply if you have one i want to know what you think

The 20gb is slightly bigger so I doubt it will fit, unless the Micro's dock is made slightly bigger but fits both in.

Zen Micro - Dock Prob

Ok, so I connect up my micro to the computer. All is well,it is recognised on device manager. I then go on Zen Micro Media Explorer and on the player, it keeps changing from the docked mode screen to normal playing mode... On the Media Explorer all the buttons are disabled and it says 'device is not connected'. I try go on Creative Media Source Organiser or Creative Media Source Player, and the Micro is listed on the left, but when I click on it an error message pops up saying "creative mediasource player has encoutered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the incnvinience."It doesn't show any specific error code or anything, but I have tried reinstalling the softwares, but no luck. The software itself is very unstable on my computer for some reason which I am unsure of, my computer can handle much more power demanding software such as Photoshop and other media programs, but MediaSource Player seems to run really slow, etc.Any suggestions anyone?rich

Error message is
AppName: ctcms.exe AppVer: 3.0.37.0 ModName: ctnjb3.dco
ModVer: 2.0.3.0 Offset: 0007440

MediaSource fails to recognise that my Zen Micro is docked

MediaSource has stopped recognising that my Zen Micro is docked - therefore preventing me from viewing and moving tracks between Media Source and my Zen - It has only stopped doing this recently - seemed to coincide with downloading updates for my player - I have uninstlalled and installed both products multiple times and still no joy....
It only happens with my Zen Micro - other music players e.g. MuVo V200 are instantly "picked up" by Mediasource...Any Ideas !!
All comments welcomed and appreciated
Cheers

i have this same problem
i updated my zen to the latest firmware which allowed MTP support version (2.etc), and then tried to find the latest update for Creative MediaSource, i couldnt find any files that updated this software.
Does anyone know if there are any available updates for MediaSource to make it work with the latest firmware? Failing that, does anyone if of any software that can do ratings etc as well as making Zen micro playlists?

Voice Recording Issue - Zen Micro

Hello,
I have the 5Gb version of the Zen Micro and I'm running it with version ..0 of the software. I'm a Uni'versity student and I use the device for recording lectures. It records properly but I like to off load the files to my main computer and sometimes I'll share them with absent classmates.
I've had this device for over a year now and I'm usually able to drag and drop the files using the Creative MediaSource Organizer version 3.30.2. In the past this has NOT been a huge issue because if the drag and drop fails to copy the file, or if it errors out when copying, I usually just reboot the player and try again.
Sometimes it takes awhile but I've only NOT been able to get file off of the device. To give you some idea of how much I use it, I'm in either 4-5 classes a semester and I tape almost all of them. Like I said...in the past year that I've had it, I have only had file that I couldn't copy off the player.
Today, I tried to copy recordings over but nothing is working. I know the files on the player are OK because I listented to the one that was erroring and it's there, I just can't get it off the player. A classmate needs these copies but I can't get them to him becuase of these errors. NOTHING works. I've tried dragging and droping, synching even following the links when it errored and Microsoft told me to come here for updates.
I should also add that I've tried copying many different files off of the device today...not just the first one on the list and nothing will copy.
I have ALLL the updates installed and still no copying. What can I do? Am I outta luck?Message Edited by John-OKC5 on 09-9-2006 09:20 PM

Like I mentioned in my first post, it has ALWAYS been a problem getting the recordings off the device. It's never just worked, like soo many other devices do.
Next, it was only in the past 3-4 months that the marginally working methods completly failed me. However, during the WHOLE time I've had the device, I've always had my FW and VS software up and running. So I was able to copy files off the device but it was problematic. However, nothing has changed in the past 3-4 months except what used to partially work...no longer works or is limping along. Rolling back is not an option because there is no point in time where it worked w/o failing.
Finally, Creative devolopers can always be of help because they are familiar with how their products work. They may not guarantee no conflicts and in all honesty I'm not saying they should. However, they should be acti've in this forum to help resolve issues....but in the threads I've seen...no developers.
Oh and when I told Windows to send the error report, it came back with a message that the creative developers have a fix for the problem. However, when I click on the link it takes me to the patch for the device and/or the newest version of creative media source. BOTH OF WHICH I ALREADY HAVE.....so really, they don't have a solution for the problem.Message Edited by John-OKC5 on 09-2-2006 0:53 PM
