Hi,
I've just got my new HTC Diamond and I've got a problem. Whenever I play anything that's in mp3 there's only noise. The noise can't be stopped. Only soft reset works. This happens in every audio application even when I play a video with mp3 compressed audio. When I tried to play video with mpeg2 audio compression everything worked fine.
ROM is original one. Hardreset doesn't help.

I recorded the noise with mic:

Pls pls help :(
Thanks

well I tried play it in the touch flo interface player after hardreset and in core player... then I tried conduits pocket player
but now I'm trying to play it in some other player (pocket music) and it seems working now !!!
how is that possible? WM6.1 does't have mp3 codecs ?

it does have MP3 codecs, fresh out the box it should play MP3s and WMAs either thru Media Player (which sucks) or thru the TouchFlo interface...

strange one that.

The only thing i can think of is that you have installed a program which has corrupted the codec?
