Welcome to the list.
I wonder if the Book Port volume was turned up too high. Normally, I
wouldn't expect this to produce white noise so much as extremely
distorted, extremely loud music through the system. Did the white noise
occur even if the Book Port was not running; that is, if you stopped the
MP3 from playing, did the white noise go away or did it remain? Did you
try adjusting the Book Port's volume down as the file was playing?

Subject: [bookport] (bookport) - MP3 now white noise
Hello
I had my new Book Port in the middle of July for my birthday. It is a
lovely machine. I loaded in quite a lot of files to read on holiday and
also some MP3s. The stereo sound of the MP3s was good and very much
surprised us.
Unfortunately, one evening when I plugged the Book Port into a friend's
speaker, the MP3s all changed to white noise. I did notice that, at the
end of some of the files, where it fades out, the sound of the music was
there although at half speed or something similar. Just before this, I
had deleted some memo files and I wonder if this had something to do
with it.
I tried taking the batteries out for a few seconds but this did not
work. I also tried reloading the MP3s, with music checkd or unchecked
and also through IE but to no avail. This also seemed to affect my .doc
files which would then not read. I have since reinstalled the .doc
files which now work.
Any suggestions?
