Adjusting speaker volume for rear speak

Hi there.
Just bought my Creative X-FI XtremeGamer sound card, which really is awesome compared to my onboard. The problem I'm having though is that I cannot seem to find any way to increase the volume output of the rear speakers and/or reduce the volume of the front speakers so they balance out better. Currently my fronts are as loud as my back speakers near enough, and all I can hear is the fronts as I sit foot away from them and 5ft away from rears, so I'd like to reduce the dbA of the front's and increase the dbA from the rears.
Is this possible? As I've searched for a solution and looked through the Creative Audio Console and cannot find a way to do it.
Thanks for any help!

do you have the THX Setup Console?
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Creative\Sound Blaster X-Fi\THX Console\THXConsole.exe"
it lets you calibrate the speakers strength, bitrate and placement

Adjusting audio volume for all slides?

I can easily do this for one slide, but when I Shift-click to
select all slides, then apply Captivate's Audio / Edit Timing menu
option, the dialog shows me an Adjust Volume option that adjusts
the volume for all slides in the movie. But, when I adjust the
volume and press OK to exit the dialog, the new volume setting is
not saved with my movie. Is this a bug? Anyone?

Hi boonedogr and welcome to our community
In the words of Yoda: Hmmm, seems a bug we have found!
So here is how to make it stick.
1. Click Audio > Edit timing... and you should see the
"Edit Audio Timing" dialog.
2. Click the Insert Silence toolbar button. This should
produce the "Insert Silence" dialog.
3. Change the "Insert" field so it reflects 0.001seconds of
silence.
This step is necessary to trick Captivate into accepting the
audio has indeed changed. I use 0.001 seconds as it is the minimum
you can insert and it should have absolutely no discernable effect
on your movie.
4. Now click the Adjust Volume button to see the "Adjust
Volume" dialog where you can alter the volume level as well as
boost dynamics and whatnot.
5. Make adjustments as desired.
6. Click OK to dismiss the Adjust Volume dialog.
7. Click OK to dismiss the Edit Audio Timing dialog
At this point, you should notice several progress indicators
as the audio clips for all slides with audio are adjusted to
reflect your new settings.
*NOTE: This will have no effect on Background Audio or Object
Level Audio. Those clips will need to be adjusted manually as a
separate process.
Hope this helps a bit... Rick

Adjusting volume for rear speakers in a 5.1 surround sound system

Hi,
I have a basic Logitech X-540 5.1 sound system spakers. I am trying to point the rear speakers to where I'm sitting, but I cannot hear much from them except in certain songs or videos. I was wondering if there's any way that I can adjust the volume on the rear speakers so that I can hear them more?
Thanks in advance.

Songs are stereo, so use the best upmixing method.
Notice the "1" for rear left & right - change that to e.g. 1.5, to be louder.

Help with speaker volume for calls

The speaker volume (both regular and speakerphone) when on a call is awfully loud. I can't find a way to turn it down enough, I have turned the in-call volume down as far as it will go with the rocker. Is there another way? I have to hold the phone 6 inches from my ear just to make a phone call.

Hello MostlyALurker,
May I ask what type of device do you have? If you have an Android device, I would recommend checking to see if there is a hearing aid option on the device. If so, make sure that this is disabled. Afterwards do a battery pull & retry the audio. If that doesn't work then we may have to do a factory reset on the device. Let us know the results after trying these steps.
Thank you...
Arnett,
Thank you for your reply. I have a DInc2, which is why I am posting in this forum (obviously). The hearing aid option is disabled. I have not tried a battery pull.

HT1349 How do i adjust the volume for my headphones on the itunes library as everytime i listen to music on phone via my headphones the left ear is a lot lower then the right?

I have changed my phone (iphone4s) thinking it was an issue with the headphones intially but then saw that it worked perfect in different handsets so thought it was an issue with the handset. When i went to apple they tried a pair of headphones on it and agreed the handset needed to be changed. When i received the new handset tried out youtube an everything was working fine. However, now i've put songs back on itunes it is happening again. I cant find any location in settings giving me the option to increase the volume.

What you are asking for is not possible in iMovie 8.
You will need to go back to iMovie 6 to do what you want.
OR pull the audio into some audio editing progam, adjust it there and re-import into your movie.
Sorry, quick & dirty does have it's down sides.

My ipod 5th gen won't change volume when headphones are plugged in, but when they are not I can change the volume on the speaker. How do I fix this?

My ipod 5th gen won't let me adjust volume when headphones are plugged in, but when they are not I can adjust the volume on the speaker. How do I fix this?

Try a hard reset of the Nano. To do this, press and hold both the Select (Center) and Menu buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.
I assume you have double checked to make sure you are plugging the headset all the way in meaning the white part of the headset is flush with the body of the Nano?

My ipod touch 4th gen. will not allow me to adjust volume with my speaker, but will with headphones. How do i fix this?

- Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so. There is a little switch in the headphone jack that disconnects the speaker when the headphone jack is inserted.
Try the following to rule out a software problem
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack or other hardware problem

Is there a way to adjust the speaker volume through Settings?

My up volume button is jammed and broken, and I'm running ios 7.0.4 on an iphone 4s. I can adjust the ringer volume through settings, and music volume through the interface, but on a speaker phone call, how can I turn up the volume?
Is there a way through settings?
Thank you!

It doens't. Music volume on Full, headphone volume on full, ringer volume on full, speaker volume on really really quiet.

Alsa/pulseaudio - keep the same master volume for speaker&headphones

Hello,
I have laptop Asus N550JV.
I installed alsa ant pulseaudio (alsa-utils and pulseaudio, nothing else, no pulseaudio-alsa plugin, because I noticed that it causes me more problems rather than reduces them.
the problem is that I want to keep Master audio channel untouched. If I listen through speaker, I could set master volume to 50%, then I can plug in headphones, set volume to 100%, then I can unplug headphones, the sound will play still at 100% THROUGH SPEAKER for about 0.5 sec. and after 0.5sec it will set back to 50% as I set when I was listening through speakers.
My question is, how can I fix this problem. I see that there are 2 ways to fix this:
1. make a lag time (delay) to switch from headphones to speakers.
2. keep the same master audio volume for both headphones and speakers.
Any ideas? I think the second solution would be easier to make, but I dunno how

Hi,
I am having the same problem with the ringer volume automatically being reset to some other volume. In my case the ringer volume slider under "Settings" + "Sounds" seems to be tied to the iPod speaker volume.
For example, I go in to "Settings" + "Sounds" and I set the ringer volume to maximum, I return to the home screen and then back to settings to make sure the volume is still the same (and it is), and then I go to iPod and play a track via the built-in speakers (i.e., no headphones). If I happen to change the iPod speaker volume and then stop playback and return to "Settings" + "Sounds" from the home screen I find that the ringer volume has been reset to whatever volume level I had previously set the iPod speaker volume.
I had assumed that these two volume settings were independent . Certainly, changing the ringer volume does NOT affect the iPod speaker volume, but setting the iPod speaker volume DOES affect the ringer volume.
Hopefully this is corrected in the first firmware update.
I have an iPhone 3G.

What move to make for iphone speaker volume

I have been reading all kinds of goods and bads about the iphones speaker volume over the last week. Yes ipod sounds good to me (Not to where I would ever wanna listen to it in speaker mode.) And NO, my speaker phone does not sound good. Way too low. Im starting to wonder if the people in the forums are saying theirs sounds fine because they have only tested it where there is silence. I'm not looking to be able to hear any speaker phone in the middle of a crowded bar, but I can not even hear it when it is all the way up and sitting beside me in the car, with the windows up. I find myself grabbing it and putting it right near my ear. So....... has anyone determined if this is a software issue or a hardware issue? Should I be bringing my iphone back or wait out the software update? I am surprised that with the release of the phone and all the questions being posted there is no portal for apple employees or techs to address some of these questions like a faqs page targeting some of the consistent questions over the last week. And don't get me wrong I love my iphone and i am not amongst the crew of people in these forums bashing it. Never owned a blackberry or treo or any of that stuff. I said years ago i will purchase something like that when apple puts one out. Never owned a pc in my life and I embrace this phone.

has anyone determined if this is a software issue or a hardware issue?
I assume since the iPod is capable of putting a fair bit of volume through the earpiece that it's a software problem. Have you turned-off volume limits in Settings?
Should I be bringing my iphone back or wait out the software update?
Tough call, if you're trying to decide by the 14 day window. Call Apple under warranty service, tell them if they can't guarantee a volume fix you're going to have to return the phone?
You can ask Apple for iPhone changes via this link:
http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html Though if you're requesting hardware changes for iPhone v2 you may want to wait a week (or a month?)...they're probably going to be inundated right now by requests for software changes to the current iPhone.

Sblive value, adjusting rear speak

How can I adjust the volume, balance, bass and trebel for the rear speakers only on an sbli've value?

What sound card does allow that?

Speaker system for 5300 to improve ring tone volum...

The ring tone volume for my Nokia 5300 is preset and cannot be changed (and made more loud/soft). It's fairly quiet overall. I checked with Nokia directly & confirmed that I cannot adjust it. As a result, if my phone is set down in the house, I cannot hear it ring, as it is too quiet.
Are there any speakers (system) I can plug my phone into so when it rings, it will broadcast through the speakers so I can hear it more easily when set down in the house?

I don't know the exact menu of your phone, but if you work through Settings>Call>Call divert it lets you input the number of seconds before each divert. Bear in mind that this will work only if your operator supports it. Operators get more revenue opportunities if you miss calls.

Subwoofer volume disabled in speaker settings (Sound Blaster Liv

Hello, I have the Sound Blaster Li've! card (CT4780) and Cambridge Soundworks FPS2000 speakers (4. system) on Windows XP Pro SP2. I've installed the latest drivers from Creative Labs.
My problem: very little bass output from my subwoofer, even when I adjust the subwoofer dial to max. If I go to Speaker Settings in AudioHQ(?), the sliders for the subwoofer volume is disabled. How do I enable this?
What are the correct speaker to sound card connections? My speaker system only has left and right jacks, and a SPDF(?) digital jack, but my sound card doesn't have the SPDF output. I connect my left/right jacks to the appropriate line out/rear out jacks on the sound card. I can hear sounds from all speakers, but would just like to have the subwoofer output more sound.
The AudioHQ will only let me select a 4 speaker system type, and there is no 4. option selected. Maybe this is the problem? If not, then how do I enable the subwoofer volume slider in speaker settings of AudioHQ?
Thanks,
Jon.

The Li've! Value is a 4.0 soundcard and doesn't have a dedicated subwoofer output. It can only dri've Front L/R and Rear L/R. The 4. speaker system generates its own subwoofer signal by extracting the bass from these channels.
Bass redirection, crossover frequency, AC-3 decode are only available on the Li've!5. SB0060 and don't apply to yer soundcard. AC-3 decode on the card would be nice, but Creative pays Dolby a licensing fee for every soundcard to support the feature and your card was sold before they struck their deal with Dolby so all previously sold cards don't support it.
Bass redirection and the crossover frequency is to send the bass from the front L/R, Rear L/R and Centre channels to the subwoofer. Since the Li've! models before the Li've!5. didn't have a subwoofer channel either none of this applies to yer card.
The centre channel volume is also missing because your card doesn't have a centre/sub output.
The only reason these features show up in yer drivers and applications is because all the Li've! and Li've 5. ( but not the Li've! 24 bit/7. ) models use the same driver.
To fix yer bass issue, try adjusting the subwoofer level on the speakers and alternati'vely increase the bass level in the Creative Mixer applet.Message Edited by nvidiot on 02-07-2006 09:29 PMMessage Edited by nvidiot on 02-07-2006 09:42 PM
