Just bought one. The sound volume turned fully open is *very* quiet - although AVLS is turned off. Is this normal?

It has remote control model sound smaller than other non remote model CDP. and other wide It depend on CD recording types. Thanks.

I suspect there is a problem - when using earbuds, a volume level of 2 to 4 on the screen is adequate, and the volume feeding an amplifier is fine,

There is "sound leakage". At the moment, I have them hooked up to my computer. No special amplification, just on-board Realtek. At 75-100% volume, I can slightly hear them over ambient noise (such as my heater, which is kind of loud) while standing about ten feet away. I don't know if everyone else that answered this question listens to their music at low volume, or if their headphones have some insulation that mine doesn't but in my experience, there is plenty of "sound leakage". Also, you could actually use these as speakers while you're not wearing them. They wouldn't be loud enough to entertain anyone, but you could still listen to something while they sit on your desk.

I have never heard of this problem. Have you accidentally changed the volume settings for an individual source? If you have verified it's not a setting issue, I'd suggest contacting Alpine. Their tech support is very good.

I've asked the same thing and no one answered. The volume is plenty loud enough, but I notice there is 'vibrations' if I turn it up too loud. I'd love to know about speakers as well!

Did you turn the volume up? Make sure the safety plastic are off from the tips.

I don't know, My son said his is fine. nothing wrong with the sound on his. Sorry I can't help with that. Maybe it has a defect.

No, I didn't resolve it. I tried 3 different ones, and they all had the same noise. Let me know if you end up going with the same model from a different store, I'm interested to see whether this is a problem with Amazon's batch or the entire line. It's too bad everywhere else is so much more expensive than Amazon though...

I have no idea as to why. I have never experienced that problem. The only issue I ever had was when the volume level of the sub-woofer was turned up to loud and I didn't realize it, LOL. Did you contact LG and see if they had a solution?

Thanks, I think you're right. After checking out some reviews and the manual, this seems to be normal. But otherwise the player works great.

No, I don't have any problem with the volume. Mine works just fine. Good luck

My experience is that the noise is not normal. I haven't had any issues with the speaker at all.

I have not. I did have a problem with the plastic surrounding the internal cables separating after about 6 months (those were the cheaper ones.) For these particular ones, it's only been 2 months and my volume is starting to go in and out of my left bud and I never play it at full capacity. -(

I did noticed that. I also learned it was due to an inadequate power supply. At higher volume levels I found the best performance at 13.5vdc. I accidently discovered this by taking the speakers to the beach and using a car battery to power them. As the voltage dropped after a few hours of use, that's when I noticed higher pitched volcals being drowned out by the lower signals.

Mine was a total piece of junk. No volume control, etc etc etc. - that's all I know. It should have gone in the garbage instead of being sold as a working player.

I don't think that's normal. Mine makes no sound at all. You should contact the seller and ask for a replacement. Do not leave it plugged in. It could be a fire hazard. Be safe.

hi there - did you also apply the firmware upgrade? wondering if that helps the noise further. thanks- andrew

That happened to me with the thumb drive. I cranked to volume up to right before its too loud for the speakers or earphones. Then it is fine on other mediums. Its still not like what you get from the overproduced music today but you hear the warmth natural sound of the record.
