None yet. Given I've had it only a few days. I tested it out with a few different songs, rap, and rock to test the different levels, and so far so good. The best sound that I got from it was from any blu ray movie that was playing, it sounds better than the television (which is still awesome).

I haven't had that problem. The only complaint I have is the terrible tinny sound which required me to buy a separate surround sound unit.

crystal clear sound is a matter of opinion. I have used the device with line-in and recorded using audacity on Ubuntu linux. It sounds fine. Like all things, setup your sound mixers volumes appropriately. This is also my 'day drive' device using the MIC inputs for my VOIP headset. I have no compliants.

So this is not an amplified sound bar but a center channel with outputs. What is the advantage over 5.1 sound?

No, I don't think sound quality was any different, and the 7w had a loud, annoying fan that ran all the time. I sent mine back. -- R Carlson MD

I hear this noise too - I used the ZOOM H4 and then dug the LF noise out with Sound Forge and then analysed the spectrum with Diamond Core Live Audio Forensics. Did someone say Pirate Bay? I certainly hope not! I have Spectrum analyses if you want them. Also get AP Tuner 3.8 (Freeware on the web) - Easy to use, you'll figure it out.

Superior audio reproduction for mp3 devices especially when compared to "dedicated" external speakers in same price range. I have not had much success with getting a strong radio signal so listen to radio online via mp3 device, its a convoluted way to do it but it works for me as the sound quality is so good.

I have a UV-5Ra, not sure if that's the same as 5R+, it works fine, not in a vehicle though, better off with the rubber duck in a vehicle or an external mag mount. In the open, the EP 14.5 works just fine, no real gain to speak of over the duck but a much more lower angle of radiation when held vertically thus further line of sight communications I made some crude relative field strength tests between the stock rubber duck and the EP 14.5, at twenty feet there was only like one db gain over the rubber duck, at one mile the EP 14.5 was still full quieting while the rubber duck was quite hissy, this was through an acre or so of trees and hilly terrain .... buy it you'll like it !

I have a UV5R+. I was under the impression that BaoFeng BF-112 would work. The microphone does not work. It may be just a defective unit. I am not going to send it back because I already paid the shipping once. I am not going to spend anymore money on this. I have ordered the other one with the transmit light on it. I have that one on the other UV5R+.

The sound is really poor. One thing I have noticed is that the sound from regular DirecTV channels is much louder than the sound from HDTV channels or the one from the DVD or Blue Ray player. I have everything connected with HDMI cables. I tried also with optical cable with the same results. The volume difference appears also when I listen thru the Home theater. Does anyone know if this is normal?

A genuine cable (kenwood icon, etc.) will work I assume. The cheap Chinese cables will work as well , (suck as the ones found on amazon,) will work too. The issue with these is the drivers. If you buy one, (I own two,) you need do some research on line on how to install the driver. Once you get the driver installed for the cable the rest is simply programming the radio and writing the info. You also best to stay withthe uv-b5 series in my opinion, as the uv-5r series has several different firmware versions and that makes it a pain to use. The b5 writes very well. Inhave not used a uv-82. I hope this helped. YouTube also has some good videos that demonstrate how to install the proper driver.

I'm no audiophile, but I've only heard a distinct drop in quality on my phone. At my computer, streaming music through Google Play, though, it's identical to my ears.

I'm sorry to say it's a tinny, thin sound nowhere as good as a cube. Back is cardboard. Great size to carry which is why I got it, but tiny speaker worked far better and without distortion than this machine. Good Luck!

I have had the same question after buying it. I can barely hear the playback. Which is why I don't use it anymore.

The underlying firmware is essentially the same. I like the uv5a better than the others, but it is six of one, half a dozen of the other. People have gotten defective ones in any of them. You just have to be lucky because when you get a good one, it is an awesome value.
