I had a similar problem when I first bought my EX800.  Now, the 
battery in mine is long gone, so maybe it's not the same situation 
(does ANYONE know where I can buy a battery for this thing?!?!), but 
I discovered that many of the syx banks for the EX800 on the net are 
not readable by my EX800.  Perhaps they are for the Poly800II or 
something, I dunno.  But in any event, I get the same exact 
symptoms.  I'll send the syx bank to the EX800, then when I try to 
play anything I just get fairly faint swirly white noise.  What's 
worse, is thereafter even if I send a *good* syx bank to the EX800, 
it won't read it.  I guess the OS gets befuddled or something.  I 
have to turn the EX800 off and then on again to get it to take.

I put a file in this group under the "palancar" folder which does 
work - try resetting your EX800 then sending this file to it and see 
if that helps.

Oh, one other thing:  be sure to set the value of parameter 86 
to "1", or you can send syx to it all day and it'll never take....  :-

Hope this helps,
