Nokia Lumia 800 Enlarge picture - Nokia Lumia 800
Nokia and Microsoft have started pushing the Windows Phone 7.8 software update to Lumia devices since last week, and the first issues with the platform are already starting to emerge.

Nokia Lumia 800 owners, for example, are currently reporting that the device exhibits incredibly low music audio volume following the update, as this thread on Nokia's support website shows.

Apparently, those who re-flashed their devices with the older firmware have managed to resolve the issue, which means that the hardware is not to blame here, WMPoweruser reports.

This is not the first time that Nokia’s devices are plagued by audio issues, as both Lumia 920 and Lumia 820 Windows Phone 8 devices have showed audio problems before.

For the time being, it’s yet uncertain what causes the aforementioned issues, or what Nokia is willing to do to correct them.

This is because after updating our phone we have to reset it for a proper factory configuration. We have to do it more two times .
Thank you.

The reset trick is nonsense... The restriction is coded into the Nokia firmware registry. Reset is not gonna remove the registry setting. The only available option is to flash WP 7.8 OS without the Nokia firmware.

Nokia has to wake up from its hibernation and correct its device firmware. Microsoft is not to blame here.
