How to turn the surround-sound-like effect off with headphones?

When I plug in the headphones into my ipad I notice the sound in the headphones becomes kinda surround-like. For instance I clearly hear keyboard clicks "at a distance" in front of me when using headphones. This "effect" is nice for keyboard clicks but totally ruins any music listening experience because any song gets distorted and is perceived at some distance when played. This becomes extremely annoying when listening to mono content. The special sound processing applied to get this surrround-like sound effect adds artefacts into the sound, please let me know how to turn this off Apple, I couldn't find any option in the settings.
Overall, I couldn't even imagine I'd get such an annoying and unprofessional effect applied by default without a possibility to turn it off. If I knew that in advance I'd never buy my ipad since currently it's not possible to listen to music with it

vvtrus, did you ever consider that turning off the clicks or other sounds might have an effect? So, before telling people who want to help you that an answer makes no sense to you, you might first try it.
Since hearing and listening to music is a very subjective matter which also depends on the quality of the headphones you use, it might be the case that you hear on your iPod something that you couldn't hear on your laptop and portable music player (both of non-apple design). Then you should blame those other devices to deliver you such poor sound. On the other hand, you might have a better hearing than other people which might give you the impression of surround-sound-like effects -- in which case we can't help you either.
Anyway, there are no settings to turn on or off "surround sound effects".

  • How to turn the screenshot sound off

    whenever i take screenshots
    command shift 3
    it makes a camera sound
    how do i turn that off?

    you can turn off all system sound effects in system preferences->sounds->sound effect. but that will turn off everything including empty trash sound and so on. I don't believe there is a good way to turn off just the screen capture sound. you can of course delete or replace the system sound file that plays when you take a screenshot but this is not something I would consider doing...

  • Volume slider - how to turn the clicky sound off?

    hullo I have a new gorgeous HP pavilion. 
    it has a really slick looking exterior (looking slick w/ Windows 7 & word 2010), and a slick volume slider.
    BUT - when I use the volume slider, the volume change is always accompanied by a clicking noise that sometimes lags - which is really annoying.  
    I changed the settings under personalization (i.e. the option when you right click on the desktop), but that hasn't stopped the clicking.  
    Any ideas how to turn it off?  
    Thanks!

    I have the same issue.  Have you ever found a solution?

    You should check with your Carrier before doing this as many charge very high fees for this use without a plan, and it's pretty expensive even with a plan.

  • Clueless how to mate the AC3 sound file given me with my video project

    Hi gang. This morning I started researching how to do this, but haven't figured it out yet.
    My DSLR projct has ben edited on Premiere Pro CS5. I created the project in stereo and once I picture locked, outputted an OMF file to the sound mixer.
    He just delievered to me an AC3 file. I've no idea what to do next.
    I'd like to mate the AC3 with my video, of course. Do I do that in Premiere Pro? Do I export an uncompressed AVI video file and somehow mate the two together somewhere else?
    Clueless here.
    (of note: This Friday I am having a screening of three of my short films, including this one. The screener will be on DVD and has to be an auto play DVD, something you can pop into the player, no menus, it just plays and goes from video to video. I created a couple test DVD's in Encore and it worked.)
    Heres all the specs for the export:

  • How to turn the Wi-Fi auto login off on the iOS 6?

    I want to use the safari to login the Wi-Fi network with my account. But on the iOS 6, I can't do it. The login window will auto appear on the screen. So I can't log my account off.

    There is no key.  Stop shouting at us.
    Are you implying that Wi-Fi is greyed out on the device?

  • How do I turn on surround sound (5.1) for all my iTunes items?

    In iTunes, while a video is playing, I can go to Controls/Audio and Subtitles and select English (Surround Audio). This allows the sound to work with my 5.1 Dolby Digital audio setup.
    It looks, though, like the only way to turn this on is to actually be playing the video. I have gone into iTunes and selected a whole set of videos, then selected the surround sound - but that didn't work. As soon as I played a video I hadn't played before, it was back to stereo, and I had to manually make the selection again. (Now, once I make the selection it sticks; I don't have to do it again. But, I still have to do it for each individual video.)
    How can I "turn on" surround sound for all items that have it?

    1. Double-click the Home button and swipe Task Bar to the right
    2. Check the volume and mute settings

  • HT4993 How do you turn the weird sound off when sending a text using the iPhone 4S

    How do you turn the weird sound off when sending a text using the iPhone 4S?

    Go to Settings-Sounds-Text Tone and change to None.  You're referring to the sound when posting a message to someone else, correct?  The only issue is if you set to none, you will not hear the incoming either.

  • How to silence the startup sound?

    My MacPro emits the startup chord, loundly, from the internal speaker. All other sounds come from the external speakers. When I get home late it's like to wake the dead if I turn on my Mac.
    This did not work this way before, the startup sound played through the external speakers and I could turn them down.
    Any ideas how to kill the startup sound or make it play through the external speakers?
    Thanks.

    Well, you know that's a funny thing, because I didn't actually intend to mute the startup chime. I just wanted it routed to the external speakers where I could control the volume properly, like the first poster. But the chime doesn't sound out of my external speakers. I don't hear it at all.
    And I don't care. If my Mac fails some test, it isn't going to work right, I'll find out about it anyway. I also don't care because in 20 years of owning Macs, if there was a problem with my Mac I can't remember any of them being due to a failed self test, it was usually a hard disk failure or something on the motherboard while I still got the normal startup chime. The power on self test does not, for example, tell PowerBook G4 owners about the widespread problem that their lower RAM slot has failed. I just haven't found the chime to be useful, while many users find it to be extremely annoying. Apple could just flash the front panel LED differently.
    The only time I've ever heard the failed self test tones is when I've played them back from some web page or utility that tells you what they mean.

  • Does Satellite X200 support surround sound like 5.1

    Does my x200 20T have surround sound like 5.1 ?

    You are right, it supports 2x main + 2x tweeter and 1x harman kardon subwoofer.
    So it can create a kind of surround. But can I connect the laptop to a amplifier to use the real suround speakers in the living room ?
    I can buy this headset with inbuilt surround speakers. The connections for the headset is USB. The real questions is: Do I get surround like 5.1 through the USB connection ?
