Thanks for your reply Brandon!

When I turn the volume down on the Fuze and up on the radio,
the stuttering does not occur.

When I tested with my son's iPod and the same cable,
I could listen at a high volume- the problem did not recur.
So the problem is with the Fuze (and it's interaction with the radio).

As I said I can listen at high volume when using headphones.

I ensured the cable is seated firmly on both ends,
as I had read in a prior thread that an insecurely fastened cable
could cause high-volume stuttering.

I also tried turning the Volume setting from High to Normal in System Settings.
This did not fix the problem.

I am running firmware version 11.

Any thoughts?

Thanks very much,

Mike
