MuVo TX backlight Buzz... Help???

[kramer5150]

Can you all help me??? I could swear that the Buzz goes away with my higher impedence cans (KSC75, DT770). Its noticeably louder with my e2c (16 ohms + high sens).

Can some one else try and confirm / deny this witrh their Buzzy Muvo? My player is a Muvo TX 512M, non-FM version.

Thanks!!
Garrett

Never noticed it on mine.

the backlight buzz happens on almost everything that creative produces. my muvo2 fm 5gb and my friend's micro and muvo slim also have this problem.

How noticeable is this is a portable environment? Because it doesn't bother me?

not very noticeable. only in quiet environment do i realise the buzz. it doesn't bother me too.

I find it annoying with sensitive phones, and it is still slightly audible with higher impedance, but at this point it is possible to ignore since it is quite quiet.

If you read the Creative forums, this is a very common problem with MuVo TX, V200 & N200 series. I can't hear it with my V200 using Sharp MD33s or Porta Pros. On the other hand, I'm an old geezer so my hearing might not be that great.

Another common problem is the random playback clicks that have been partly cured by a firmware upgrades - atleast for the N200.

Another less common problem is small clicks between songs or in the beginning of one. Creative hasn't been so far able to reproduce these though a few customers incl. me have them. My V200's being RMA'd because of this.

My Muvo N200 has this buzz. It is hardly noticeable with Sony EX71SLs but is really annoying with my Shure E3Cs.

I got this player for xmas and soon started to get annoyed by the buzz. I listen at very low volumes with my px100, px200, ath-ew.., ath-a900ltd, sennheiser mx 550.. and with all phones it is easily noticeable for me.
It gets better when the backlight is ON...


Luckily the player was bought on amazon and returning is no problem

i have a 256mb muvo tx.

with £30 sony bud headphones I cannot hear a buzz. with some hd650 I hear the buzz when the light is on.....very simple solution - turn the backlight off.

Hehe, exactly what I was thinking. How long do you guys have the backlight on? 30 secs, 5 mins? Thats why you get annoyed.

Turn it down to 3 secs and BAM its only there for 3 secs.

I just have the backlight disabled on my muvo n200. Via my shure e2c's the buzzing is very irritating, and via govibe-->dt770pro also very irritating
