Default MP3 volume

I know this may sound funny but when I use my (Harley) MP3 player I have to turn the volume up all the way in order to hear the darn thing. I used media player to down load the songs I wanted and everything seemed to be fine but could I have messed up somewhere. When I switch back to the radio it blasts away like crazy. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

John

make sure the volume is set to the highest volume setting and then adjust volume through the radio. At least that's how I do it and itworks fine.

Same as above - but also turn off the EQ on the Mp3 or set levels all to mid-range

I'm no stereo expert but I noticed my old MP3 player didn't "push" enough sound thru the radio even with the player all the way up and radio all the way up. I got a new one (clix) and it's made a big difference.

I had the same problem with my XM Roady radio, I called these people and they sold me the in line amp with (2) cables that went RCA to 1/8”.

http://www.myradiostore.com/noise-fi...iamwisufi.html

So I go 1/8” cable out of my (XM or MP3 player) to RCA plug in to the line amp. then RCA plug out to 1/8” cable to the front AUX hole. This works great, I hide all the wires and the amp in the fairing. The amp requires a 12 V power source.

Hope this helps

I don't see any type of volume control on the player, simple controls just stop, start, rewind, and fast forward. Unit plugs into the front jack on my radio. I kind of feel that it may be some type of setting that needs to be made in the PC Media Player controls. If I am on the right track please let me know.
