Hi,

This isn't a super-active board, so don't expect instant replies.

Anyway, the problem you are experiencing is not common - I've not had this problem with my TE at all.  Maybe you just got a few bad TE/GT's....could be the speaker or the volume control...I'd try different games and batteries just to make sure too. Aaron Nanto

hmmm, i have spoken to several people who are selling on ebay, all of which have this 'low sound ' problem. i think it may be similar to what is happening to the sega gamegear, where  certain componants simply dont last after time.  anyway i will try whay you said,  cheers,  steve.

I've got the same problem,

I've tried checking the internal resistances along the path from the variable resistor volume control to the speaker and I can't find any problems.  

I guess it must be coming from a loose connection or something, or a blown component, it's probably a common problem but it's still a pain in the ass.

I wish I had a working unit with which to compare.

Title: yer its getting really common

Yep, it is now officially a common fault with the majority of GT's and Turbo's out there (http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/frown.gif)   I hope someone looks into this (like they did with the gamegear) and publishes how to fix it on the net, as this is growing into a major thing, I have just had an email off some guy asking me about this very same problem as his GT has again got low sound (http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/frown.gif)   If anyone in the know reads this and has any idea's on how we could get our Turbo's fixed then please reply to this post.(http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/wink.gif)

Has anyone had any solutions for this problem? I just got in a TE(brand new) that had low sound. Pretty screwy it did that being right out of the box. Also, the headphone jack doesn't work quite right. If all the way in, only the right speaker(headphone) gets audio. You have to pull it a bit out for L and R audio, kinda sucks.
