I would second this. While I appreciate that there is a mod, I am quite hesitant to attempt it and risk damaging the retrostone.

I confirme the fix too..
Even if I was a little scared tout damage my Retrostone, by taking time (and pray lol) I made it ^^

Re: Sound from headphone jack extremely quiet
Hi Pierre,
Is this correct?

Re: Sound from headphone jack extremely quiet
Yes, to make sure it's clear :
It is actually not a gap at the beginning, but it's small black components (resistors).
It becomes a gap once you remove the resistors. Which is indeed a PROBLEM as the sound cannot pass the gap.
SOLUTION is to bridge with solder as on your picture

Im scared i dont want dissassembly my son . Yes i have the same problem
Re: Sound from headphone jack extremely quiet
For me the headphone jack is very quiet too...
To be honest I have problems to understand and follow this thread.
Do we need to solder in order to fix the volume?? Or is there a software fix for that?

Re: Sound from headphone jack extremely quiet
There are two resistors that due to a mistake in the design (or possibly the PCB manufacturing) reduce the signal to almost nothing. You will need to remove those resistors and in their place link their pads together with a small blob of solder.
And no, I'm not doing it either
Re: Sound from headphone jack extremely quiet
Do we lose our warranty if we do that procedure?
Re: Sound from headphone jack extremely quiet
I'm reasonably certain that Pierre said no, but I'd wait for official confirmation if I were you.
