Hi there,

New member getting settled in with an N800 I just grabbed off Craig's List. Bought 2 Polaroid 8GB SDHC cards ($22.99 for the twinpack at Fry's) and formatted 'em without issues - assigned the Internal card to use 128MB for virtual memory as expansion. Installed FBReader for the Wife (she reads voraciously) and then installed the FM radio (1.5.8) for myself (I plan to use the N800 primarily as a media device on the go).

The issue I'm having is with the FM radio and being able to listen with the speakers, not the headphones. When I first got this device a few days ago it worked great, speakers are loud and clear when listening to the FM radio (and also with the headphones) and I was able to switch back and forth without issues.

But I upgraded/flashed to the latest OS2008 revision, 5.2008.43-7 and now it seems the error I get is that dreaded "Audio switching output failed" and I can't seem to resolve it, not with the Nokia earbuds or my normal headphones, a set of Koss KSC-75 earclips.

Not sure if it would be required to flash back to an older revision of OS2008 and I'd prefer not to do that unless absolutely necessary, so I figured posing the question to you far-more-knowledgeable folks might set me on the path to a solution. I've done several searches for muted audio, radio issues, the specific error string ("Audio output switching failed") and other terms but I've so far come up empty.

Any assistance is greatly appreciated, thanks.
