Default audio issues

I was in my H3 listening to a cd as usual and everything was working great. I stopped to buy a coffee and parked my car as I ran inside. When I got back in and started driving again, I realized there was no music. Thinking I had lowered the vol. control, I tried to turn it up. Nothing. Not a sound. The cd was playing and I was able to change tracks but just no sound. But when I changed the deck to xm or fm, I had sound. I tried turning off the power, tried other cd's, etc. and still had no luck. I came home and forgot about it. Later on in the day, I had to go out again, and magically evrything was working. I have never had any stereo issues b4 and wonder what caused that to happen? Any ideas?

Hard to say. The only thing I can think of is a bad CD. I have a few nasty ones that I found under the floormats and seats that really give my player fits. When the player starts hunting, I just forward to the one or two tracks that still play. Maybe there is some kind of protection program that causes the player to shut down after a certain amount of time if it can't read a disc? When you powered off your truck instead of just the radio it may have simply reset it?

If not, and it happens again while you are driving, the dealer would be happy to swap out your player for you.

As I sit in my Advanced Wireless Networks class, pretendling like I'm typing notes but actually looking at hummerforums.com I can tell you with a pretty high confidence that a WiFi signal (electromagnetic) could not throw off a CD player laser (optical). Maybe the sun shined in, was amplified by a bottle of water, bounce off the door handle. Hit the keys and bounced off a dime in your up holder, into the CD changer...throwing off hte laser. Actually I'm pretty positive thats what happened.

Let me tell you something buddy: Those classes can't prepare you for what you're going to find in the real world. Just remember: What you read in a book and what really happens are two different things. That's speaking from experience, of course

I used to say Credit Cards are the downfall of American society, but recently it's been a toss up between those and Starbucks

Whatever happened to "Folder's crystals" being good enough [:'(][]
