      If your Olympus Voice Recorder isn't recording, it could be due to a few reasons. You might have run out of memory, so try erasing any unnecessary files. Alternatively, you may have reached the maximum number of recordable files, in which case you should select another folder. Finally, ensure that [Earphone] is selected for [Output], not [Speaker].

      Mallory MaldonadoAug 20, 2025
      If your Olympus Voice Recorder's recording is too quiet, it might be due to a low recording level being set. Redo the recording after setting the recording level to [High] or [Middle]. Also, if using an external device, its output level may be too low, so adjust that accordingly. Finally, redo recording after adjusting the recording level.

      A blank display on your Olympus Voice Recorder can occur for several reasons: the battery may not be inserted correctly (ensure the positive and negative terminals are properly aligned), the remaining battery power might be low (replace or charge the battery), or the power is simply turned off (turn the power on).

      If the audio file sound is distorted on your Olympus Voice Recorder, it could be because the recording level hasn’t been adjusted. Redo the recording after adjusting the recording level. If the problem persists, the voice recorder’s recording level or the output level of the connected external device may be too high; adjust the output level of the external device.
