My N800 sounds great through the headphones, but if I try plugging it
into a line input on _any_ other device, it sounds like crap. I've tried
the line-in on my truck, my home amp, an AV distribution amplifier and
my 900 MHz wireless headphones transmitter. In addition to the noise

This looks like a hardware problem. The headphones has a small impedance

I have found that running the N800 through a ground loop isolator helps
immensely - especially if you are charging the device as you use it.
The Radio Shack ground loop isolator (RS #270-054) works well for this.

Ye
I am very familiar with the ground loop problem, and this is not
related to that. Ground loop problems are a result of noise created by
other devices, whereas this noise is created by the Nokia itself. It's
also a completely different kind of noise - ground loops usually cause
a whine (that varies

Because it's irrelevant; the noise is the same regardless of whether
I'm charging or not, and I did say that it applied in non-automotive

I have also seen this problem. I have a pair of headphones that are not
terribly efficient, so I bought a "Boostaroo" (sp?) amplifier. I was
very disappointed to find out that when I did this, the noise on the
output of the Nokia 800 was sufficient make the experience unpleasant.
I also found the

I have achieved significant success by by using a cassette adapter in
a portable stereo cassette player, but that introduces some "tape
hiss" (although much less than an actual tape) and doesn't give as
good frequency response. The other drawback is that this particular
player doesn't have a power

That's a possibility, yes. It
