Hello. HIMS told us they had received several repairs on BookSense with
blown speakers from other countries. In addition, I can think of 2
repairs we had here at GW micro. So it's definitely real.
Many thanks.

I'm curious if speakers were actually being damaged? No, I don't want
to blow a speaker, but I've used mine a lot on the internal speaker with
the old software as high as it would go with no problems. Perhaps I was
lucky, I don't know, but I really do miss the higher volume which was
one of the reasons I got a booksense as I've owned a victor stream for a
couple years.

Rod, I believe you are right. I don't think the headphone volume was
changed. As Raul said, there were some problems with too loud volume for
the speaker to handle without possible problems.

Hi,
The volume change appears to be limited to the internal speakers, as I
cannot bring the volume all the way to 21 with the earphones without
causing
a bit of pain in my ears. If you add a good pair of noise cancelling
earphones you will never have any trouble hearing what is playing!

I gather using the internal speaker, the max volume with the 2.0 FW is
lower.
Has the max volume using earphones been lowered too?

Subject: Re: [GW-Booksense] Upgrade works fine
I completely agree with everything said in this message. Haven't
confirmed
the volume being lower yet, but I hope this is wrong as the loud
volume was
one of the most appealing features of the booksense for me.
I'll take it for a test listen on the tredmill and see what happens,
but if
the volume is lower now, I hope it's able to be raised again in a future
update.
As many have said, though, thanks to Gwmicro and all others involved for
designing such a wonderful product, and thanks for getting us this
firmware
update right before Christmas!

Hi Raul and GW,
Thanks for the upgrade and mp3 file.
I noticed that the volume levels have been matched a bit more closely
between the NLS daisy books and the TTS voice, however, I also noticed
that
the overall maximum volume level is not as high as it was before. This
may
still be a problem for users who may have a noisy environment to
listen in.
I will offer my two cents worth as to the new folder in the media
player. I
am of the opinion, and it is my own opinion only, that it would have been
better to name a new folder "Media" instead of "Movies" as it is a
broader
and less constrictive name for what the player actually does, play
"Media".
Then we could just create any sub folders we want in the Media folder and
more accurately sort our types of media.
I am extremely pleased that the Playlist now actually work again!
However,
it would be nice to have playlists, and only playlists, resume where
we left
off when we go back to a particular playlist to start it up again.
I am extremely happy about the fact that I will no longer have to combine
all of the tracks from a CD audio book that has been ripped to a
hundred or
more tracks in order to play it on the unit and place a book mark in it!
Thank you, Thank you!
These are just my first impressions of the firmware upgrade. I'm sure
that
there will be a lot of comment and questions from other listers.
Again, Thanks to GW and HIMS!
Lovin' my Ruby Red Reader even more!
Rod
