HI I just got my ipod classic and noticed when i slide the volume meter to 0 the sound is still audible unless I press pause. I was wondering if this is normal with the volume not completely turning off or I have a defective unit. Anyone can confirm this? Help much appreciated.

What headphones/IEMs are you using with it? Perhaps they are sensitive and can pick up faint noise.

Although...this shouldn't happen in the first place, methinks.

Is the muisc on your ipod audible at 0 volume? I used the stock earbuds and grado rs1

I just checked this on my 80GB classic & found the same thing -- clearly audible (though low-volume) music when the volume is at minimum. Tested using ER6i & KSC75.

My 2g nano shuts off at low volumn.

just pause the music. easy.

 

[htbyron]

Agreed -- pause is what I normally do. I never even thought of the question until the OP asked.

That's good to know i guess. Thanks for verifying. I was kinda worried i have a defective unit since i'm pretty anal about having things working perfectly but looks like this is pretty normal. Yeah I normally press pause too but I wanted to set the volume to 0 to test if there was any hiss or noise. Maybe the volume could be fixed with a future firmware update since there seem to be some bugs with the new ipods

Reality check: do you mean the line out (LO) or the headphone out (HO)?

For those listening in:

The HO is the mini-jack on the iPod to which you plug in your headphones.

The LO is a line-level signal *not* controlled by the iPod's volume control. It is accessed by using a line out doc (LOD) plugged into the iPod's dock/sync port. the other end of the LOD is typically terminated with a mini-plug used to connect to an amplifier. Volume is controlled via the amplifier's volume control--not via the iPod.

My classic has the same. Audible sound at 0% volume from the HO. This does not bother me at all. As other have stated thats what pause is for

i usually listen thru the LOD, but for the purpose of this thread i tested it with the HO and had the volume issue.
