My 305 also became inaudible. Called Garmin. They issued RMA--sent it in and they promptly returned a new one. Don't send to Amazon--call Garmin instead. They will take care of it.

ATTENTION HORSKACK, BABARINO, WASHINGTON, AND EPSTEIN (i.e. SWEATHOGS) The sound holes for the speakers are located on the underside of the watch.
