 |  665C speaker problem
Has anyone else had a problem with the external speaker shutting off. Mine has gone mute. It occasionally returns for hours at a time but goes mute again. I've done everything I know to remedy this on my own (Hard Reset doesn't cure it).
I'd love some ideas. |

| I did a hard reset and it went muted. Then I gave up for a while. One day, I did a hard reset for no apparent reason and the speaker came back alive again. Strange...

| That's so weird! Mine just started doing that today. I was just going to post to see if anyone else is having the same problem... And here you all are.
Well, now all we need is a solution...
My 665 went mute spontaniously. I tried resetting, then warm resetting, I didn't want to hard reset unless I had to. But then I turned it over to reset again and the sound came back. I don't know if it had anything to do with turning it over or if it was a coinsidence. | |

| Same thing happened to my old T665 (wich is now my wife's PDA) it went mute one day, for about two days (with no sound at all) I did several hard and soft resets, but it never helped. Then, it went back on... and I haven't heard of the problem ever since... I actually posted about the problem then, but got no usefull reply (just as all of you). I guess there must be a reason for it... but is there anyone out there who can actually find such reason? | |

| My T665 went mute today as well? Hmmm... Very disturbing, maybe we all have a Y2K03 bug?

| Nothing I have done has directly made any difference to clear up the problem.
Currently my sound is back. I have no idea why. It's been back for 3 days now. Before this last time it came back, it would come back sometime after 12:00 pm and go away sometime after 3:00 pm. I was in the process of isolating some kind of pattern when it just stayed on.
I have no idea. | |

| Well the sound on my T665 went mute today. I am very disappointed. This cant work because I need alarm and system sound.
In my case, I was playing a game using the headphone. When I removed the headphone, the system sound was gone. Strangely enough, I can still listen to music and hear game sound via the head phones but no system sound.
Any idea what is going on here??

| I could find no solution but to send it in on warranty. It took about a week total. That included me finding my reciept. Turns out mine was a mechanical failure of some sort. Their repair bill was vague. | |

| I installed all two of the upgrades available for the T665 from the Sony website.
After that the sound came back on. Really bizarrre.
Do you think I should send it back to Sony?
