iriver x20 - broken input

Hi,
I bought a 4GB iriver X20 4 days ago and I love it. Well loved it. I got up this morning to go for a run and it was kaput.

Everything works fine except for my headphone input... the sound has gone all funky (the bad kind). I can only hear the background sound... if you know what I mean... the main vocals sound very distant and echo-y. I have tried several different headphones and it all sounds the same. The speakers in the unit sound fine.

What do I do? Has this happened to anyone else? (Also bought just before going away for 3 weeks so I don't have the box or the receipt... so annoyed)

Weird, the same thing happened to me.
But i found if you twist the headphones jack around it will work.
I haven't tried to use other headphones so i hope mine isn't wrecked :S

Anyway, try it and tell me what happens...

Problem Resolved.... or at least replaced!

If you can get the sound to change when you twist the headphone jack that usually means you have a problem with the headphones... mine was consistent every time.

Apparently (when I took it back to place of purchase) it was the EQ that was broken... hmmmm... fortunately I didn't have to care whether this was true or not as I took it back within 10 days so it was an instant replace...

I actually upgraded to an 8GB... and I am still in love.

me too...

I've just had the exact same thing happen with my X20 after a couple of weeks' worth of admittedly quite heavy use (I like to put my players through their paces). It's definitely a problem with the EQ/output rather than the headphones I'm using as I've tried a few different combinations. At least it happened soon enough to take advantage of the seller's warranty...
