When using the iPAQ audio control panel to adjust the bass to any level above default makes most of my music sound horrible even through the headphones. For a few of my songs it can be turned up to 2 ticks from default before sounding like mud.
Does this happen to anyone else?
Details?
Solutions?

Never had that problem with a 38, 39 and the 22 Series iPAQ's I use. It could be because of my headphones though. I'm using Sony MDRV700DJ Professional Stereo DJ Headphones, They've gone way down in Price since I bought mine 3 years ago.
Also if the source music file is really loud (i.e. heavy dynamic compression) then boosting the bass will cause the digital to analog converters to be overdriven which will give you a nasty sound.
I have to say that I have only recently started to use my 2210 as a music player and have been blown away by the sound quality, I am using 96K WMA files and cannot tell them from the CD.
I have notice that there is almost a pop between songs if I use Media Player but not in any other player

That's probably what it is

I agree that it is almost certainly to do with your files being encoded at a level that's too loud. I use my iPAQ regularly for music and it's bass/treble reproduction through headphones is top-notch.
Take note as well that the "iPAQ Audio" settings only affect the bass and treble of the headphone output. There's not a lot that can be done to stop PDA speakers from being so 'tinny'.
i've never had problems, plus i like the sound quality so much and sometimes listen to music on my ipaq when i am at home to hear the "deep" sounds of complicated songs

I was dissatisfied with the lackluster quality of the sound that came out of my iPAQ through the headphones (also with the regular speaker, but I knew that it wasn't designed to be stereo system). Then, I bought new headphones, and I was blown away how crisp and sharp everything sounded. Guess ym old headphones had a little trouble with them, but I've since bought 2 sets, and I'm now pleased that my iPAQ is my new iPOD.
