Need to clean tapehead periodically. Take q-tip with alcohol and clean the head.
Used to be jacks were wired point to point, meaning the strips of metal from the jack had a wire attached to each that lead to a circuit board. Now mostly little prongs come off the jack and are soldering straight to the circuit board so that when plugged in if the solder joint is weak or the plug takes a hit these prongs can separate from the solder. Not only was the older point to point system easier to work on since the jack was not encased in plastic but the connecting wires allowed for a lot of give if the plug/jack took a hit. When pressure or a certain angle is put on the plug it may cause the prong(s) on the jack to temporarily reconnect with the solder joint. So......take screws out so you can remove cover to expose inside of jack. Plug in buds, power on unit and play a song. With something non conductive such as a chopstick press down on areas of the jack and when sound changes you've probably found where the broken joint is. With power off you must then unscrew the board to expose the back side of the board and re-solder the connection using a soldering iron that comes to a small point so that nothing else but that joint is touched. Usually you can use the solder that's still there without adding any extra. Never soldered? Might want to get a friend who has. The only other possibility is there is no longer a good connection to the plug. Easy to fix in the point to point days, but now the jack needs to be replaced(with difficulty the jack can be repaired, but may require cutting the plastic housing in half.

Yes I had the exact same problem with both Norton 2009 and TalkTalk Super Secure Boost. To solve it you need to go to control panel, switch to classic view, scroll down to 'System', in System select the tab 'Hardware', then click on 'Device Manager', then click on WALKMAN NWZ-S639F and go to update driver. This solution has solved this problem for me twice, should solve your problem too, let me know if it does. Thanks

Hi konektor1,
Is it on hold? Check that first. If that is okay, and you still have it within the warranty period, get it checked for battery problems.

On the back of the unit, there should be a small reset button. Pushing and holding that button for about 5 - 10 seconds should reset the unit.
If that doesn't work, you may want to read WarMaiden.org's solution to getting the computer to recognize the Walkman...it may work for you.

Audio playback formats:The most common audio format(s) the player will recognize and be able to play.
These include:
Apple Lossless: Apple (Mac) format for an uncompressed sound file
AAC: Advanced Audio Coding
ATRAC: Adaptive TRansform Acoustic Coupling
FLAC: Free Lossless Audio Codec
MPEG: Moving Picture Experts Group
OGG: Short for Ogg Vorbis, a free, open source music format
WAV: Uncompressed Windows standard for waveform audio files
WMA: Windows Media Audio
make sure all your files are at least one of those codecs
you can also uninstall any software then reinstall and start from the beginning as new

I'm just wondering, why don't you just download the MP3Gain. You can adjust the volume of all the songs to one db of your choosing. It's easier than trying to set up your mp3 player using the test mode, the result of which is usually the radio malfunction.
