How are you listening? Headphones? Plugged into car system/home system etc?

My volume is decent w/earbuds but I need to crank it all the way up when plugging it into the car stereo. This is not unusual; I had the same issue when I owned an ipod.

Nowhere in the little handbook does it tell you about the tiny volume control on the LHS next to the USB connector - press and hold the top next to the USB connector to increase volume.

hi i have problem in sansa clip that is the low volume .so plz guide me hw to solve this plz rply quickly it's urgent that's why? thank you sir/mam.

Select "Reset all" under System settings. Next, the clip will promp you for language and region settings. Select "Rest of the world" to enable high volume setting (also found under system settings).

Thanks Proclo for your advice - I thought I was going deaf as I couldn't hear anything properly using my new Clip+

Do we Europeans have more sensitive ears than the rest of the world so that we have to be protected from loud music?

I had the same problem - low sound
and I did what "Proclo" said and it's work
thank you very much!!!!

The "Rest of the world" settings worked. Thanks a lot.

I had recently updated the firmware and that brought the volume level down. It's not back to what it was...woo hoo.

Thanks from me also for the fix. Volume back to what it should be.

The fix didn't affect my library at all. Just cured my volume problem.

I just got my clip plus, has the same problems with low volume, tried the reset and used world settings, still has the low volume problem.

I had the above volume problem, and I think Sansa is really sweet for wanting to protect our hearing this way:) They should also pay attention to their translation services - in Icelandic the "rest" in "rest of the World" was translated into:   

[rest]- noun
1.the refreshing quiet or repose of sleep: a good night's rest.
2.refreshing ease or inactivity after exertion or labor: to allow an hour for rest.
3.relief or freedom, especially from anything that wearies, troubles, or disturbs.
(Thanks www.dictionary.com)

Thanks, everyone. I had the same prob - low volume on my Clip and Fuze. Too quiet when plugged into car stereo, or listening with 'phones in a car or put through my speaker system at home. I set it to "Rest of the World" - decent volume!

Thank you so much for the "Rest of world" fix :) Nice of them to want to protect our ears but a bit pointless having an mp3 player where you can't hear *anything*. Pity this fix was not in the manual, not even after all the polite talk about decibels etc. Thanks again!
