Just last week I found that the audible sounds on my i5 have stopped working. I tried reseting the unit and changing the batteries. At one point there was some sound but is was to garbled to understand. I am at a loss as to what I could do to fix this problem, if it is even fixable. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Frank
I have a garmin spi5 out of warranty and the audio is completely not working. tried changing bateries and resetting. no change. it is always plugged into adapter in car and the unit works fine, just no audio. ant solutions would be greatly appreciated. thanks frank l.
Apologies, There is two voices on that machine ( apparently, LOL) Is it both that are playing up? ( Direction & Street name ) It seems more common that the street name voice gets garbled. I guess you are out of warranty. There seems to be a few of these getting returned and replaced so it may be worth emailing the manufacturer and see if they will offer to replace it anyway. The sound output I mentioned was an external speaker socket in a post I can't find back. That is what I was confused about.
I would have a look at the earphone socket. There is a small switch inside the socket that is designed to mute the built in sound when the headset is in. If there is some dust or damage in the socket, or the jack is bent, you will have sound problems. Try blowing the socket out, and rotating the headphone jack in the socket to determine if that is what it is. Depending on your confidence, you could attempt to dismantle it yourself and repair/replace the socket.
You do have a sound output though don't you?
I read in the specs that it does, so please let me know.
What I should have said is any sound output related plugs.

The streetpilot i5 does not have a headphone jack. Thanks for trying.

I looked the unit over and all I see is an opening for the usb cord, an external antenna and a micro-sd card slot. The volume controls are done through a menu system. Maybe the i2 or i3 has a sound output, but I can not find on on this unit. Does the specs say where it could be located?
It seems like the sound is trying to work, but it is very distorted, the dinging sound is very muddy and the words are hard to understand. I checked with Garmin and they want $150.00 to fix it. For another $100.00 I can buy a new C330.
I have the same problem with my Garmin i3 which is still under warranty. What do i do?
