Hi Rob,

Thank you for the advice.  it's a strange problem.  Too bad they can't fix 
it.  I am a BP newbie, are there any more strange behaviors that I should be 
aware of in the future.

Rick

Rick:

This is a known problem. Its been this way since firmware 1.0, and I
wouldn't plan on it getting fixed.

To get around this problem, Simply wait for 10 seconds for the Book
Port to shut down. You will then get the speech back in full clarity.
Alternatively, hit 2 twice to start and stop the MP3 file. This usually
clears it up. I wouldn't bother with reset, since you will lose your
personalized settings.

Hi,

I am having a strange problem with my new book port.  When I am playing
a Audible book and press the 2 key to stop reading.  More often than not
when I try to increase the volume so I can hear double talk say the
battery levels or position in the current book I can only raise the
volume a little bit then the voice goes silent or get garbled.  The way
I correct the problem is to switch to the book port text file on the BP
and start reading it.  I can then adjust the volume as loud as necessary
to listen.  Going back to the Audible book and reading it for awhile and
then pressing 2 to pause reading then adjusting the volume again to hear
the position in the book or battery levels results in the same strange
behavior with the double talk voice.  My battery level is currently 60+
% so I doubt the batteries are getting low and affecting the audio
output of the BP.  Can anyone help me out with this problem.

Thanks in advance,

Rick
