FM-radio software mutes when switching channels.

[dwaaz]

I have a problem: When switching channels the sound of my fm-radio mutes. The sound comes back when I make us of one of the buttons.

This is really anoying if you are a channelskipper like me...

Am I the only one with this problem?
Does anybody knows what causes it and how to solve it?

Many thanks in advance..

Tnx for your quick respons,

I know it's not the most important thing in my life, but it's really not userfriendly, don't you agree...:)
I use my radio reguraly, and I know it's something with software...
A hard reset will fix it, but it returns within a few days.

At one point I noticed the occuring of this problem. I was listening to my radio when I received an call.
Without answering the call I pulled out the headset to answer it with the phone to my ears. When I finished the call the problem with the fm-radio returned.

I'm using this software:
1. Spb Phonesuite
2. Spb Mobile Shell
3. Spb Pocket Plus
4. Smartmovie
5. Betaplayer
6. Sprite Backup

This is my standard configuration.
Any similarities with your software profile?

Noticed that if you use the predefined stations(and the sound works) you can choose other stations without any problems.

When the sound is muted(due to the problem) this will not work. Also channelsearch(not preset autosearch) doesn't work. It won't find the stations

I saw WM6 is released. Maybe the problem will be fixed with this update.

Or does anybody has a fix? Am I (with a few other users) the only one with this problem?

I saw an fm-radio app for an Eten device.

Hello dwaaz,

I discovered something.

The problems with the radio only occurs when you have disabled the sound for "Events(warnings, system)" in settings/personal/ sound en messages.

In my case, when I enable these sounds (anoying screen taps etc.) the problem is gone.

It looks like the system needs a sound at the end to be able to switch the channels.

Kinda weird isn't it?

Regards,

Dwaaz

PS. I know it's not caused by any third party software, because there isn't any on it.

this message is for nothing. I had problems with my connection en post the same message twice.
