Reproduce:
1. Play music.
2. Click the Back/Home button.
3. Go back to the music by choosing "Now Playing" menu item, or wait for a while it automatically goes back to the music.
What happen:
The volume is immediately dropped. It does not go back to the normal level unless you restart the unit or go to listen FM and them come back to mp3 again.
This happens when you're not using the default setting for the equalizer, I'm not sure how to fix it using modified equalizers, but to stop it from happening you'll have to settle for the default equalizer.

I noticed the same thing with mine and I seem to have fixed that problem (accidentally). I decided I wanted to clean the unit up, so I did the following:
After reloading my music, I noticed the volume drop NO LONGER OCCURS. The unit also seems to POWER UP a little quicker too, but I can't say for certain.
I'm hoping my little RESET/FORMAT will fix a few other little quirks in the unit (like SHUFFLE playing the same track over and over out of 400+ songs!)

Resetting the volume limit on your iPod Nano affects everything you listen to, from music to audio books. You can adjust the volume for each individual item on your Nano using the click wheel, but the highs and lows of the sound will depend on the overall volume limit setting. Volume levels will vary with different ear buds and headphones, and using external devices like docking stations to play your iPod Nano will also cause variation in the volume.
Instruction:
1 Press any button on your iPod Nano's click wheel and turn it on. Press the "menu" button at the top of the click wheel until you reach the iPod menu.
2 Select "Settings" from this menu by scrolling down until "Settings" is highlighted, then click the center button.
3 Select "Playback" from the menu choices that show up.
4 Select "Volume Limits." You will reach a screen with a speaker icon and dots indicating the level of volume your iPod is currently set on.
5 Scroll the wheel up or back to adjust the volume limits. Press the center button and you will have the option to lock in your settings by selecting a four-digit combination lock. This is not a necessary step; you can click on "done" and finish. Setting the combination allows you to have more control over any future changes to your iPod's volume limits. Scroll the click wheel to select your combination. Press the center button and you will revisit the volume limits; adjust it as you like and press the center button.
Goodluck

Sorry but I have to say that the volume drop only happens when you select one of the EQs, e.g. Heavy, Rock, and Jazz. Once you reset the format the unit, it goes back to the default setting, which EQ is off. You may try to setup the EQ again and see if the problem is still there. I think this is the firmware issue.
Sorry but I have to say that it doesn't work. Actually the volume drop happens only when the EQ is on. After you format the unit, all setting go back to default -- EQ is off by default. I think this is a firmware issue.
You are right! Before I did the reset, I was using a custom Equalizer, but after the reset, I didn't. Now I just tried enabling a custom equalizer, and the volume drops after I "Go Back".
Actually, if you want to get technical, I think it's not really a Volume Drop, but an artificial Volume Rise when you power on, and it resets to the correct level after the "Go Back".
Either way, it's annoying...
