My iPod has very low volume :(

[afro_puff]

I have a 5gig iPod and ever since I got it I would have to keep the volume around 70 to 80 % or it would simply be TOO loud. Then it broke and I sent it to Apple to be fixed. They were very kind and gave me a refurbished 5 gig iPod, but for some reason the volume is very very low.

With my first iPod I would not be able to hear a damn thing when the volume was around 80%, but with the new one I can hear newspapers rustling on the train and the wind passing by me when I bike ride and I keep it at 100%!

Now before you go nuts on this thread please note the following: I have the volume "sound check" on, yes my iPod software is the most current, both iPods were running v1.3 of the software and I have been using the same headphones the whole time (the standard issue Apple ones).

I hope there is an answer
