This may be a weird questions, but which program do you use to play your music? I had been using Pocket Music for a long time and I loved it, but after getting their most recent update, all my music started sounding horrible if I change the base level. I've switched back to Windows Media Player and everything sounds fine. I have no idea why the new version of Pocket Music has this problem, but that's what I've found.

I tried pocket music the one by condiuits
i liked everyting about it but with even a slight change to the equalizer the music souned horrible. That and a problem ith the playback that locked up my iPAQ caused me to switch back to pocket WMP 9

I think this problem is inherent. Even on my laptop the sound goes muddy if I use extra bass. Its a little better on my desktop but again, only so much extra bass can be added before it goes muddy. The fact is, if you want to be able to pump up the bass substantially without losing sound quality, you need a very high quality sound card and speakers. When it comes to a Pocket PC, there's nothing you could do. I keep the EQ in PocketMusic turned off and all tone/bass settings turned off in the sound control panel on my iPAQ 4155. This gives me maximum sound quality (for my device) and it acutally sounds pretty good. Your just going to have to live with it... even $100 car stereo's go muddy with extra bass. Its just the way it is... it takes a lot of wattage and good speakers to "pump up the bass"...

now that you mention it my Audigy 2 Platnim ZS does great with extra bass 'till you crank it up past the speakers max

I'm in the middle of upgrades, the soundcard is the most advanced peice of hardware i've got. it's running inside a p3 500MHZ homebuilt xp box

Does the 4155 use a "standard" headphone jack on it or is it one of those extra-small ones you need an adapter for?

Standard

It seems that only a few of us suffer from these audio distortions.
