Audigy 2 ZS with 5.1, very low volume from front center spea

I have an Audigy 2 ZS and Altec Lansing 25CN speakers (5.). The sound comes out fine from all but the front center speaker, from which I can barely hear anything. However, if I run the Creative Diagnostic and test the speakers, the sound comes out just fine. Tests in the THX Console work fine too. Anyone have an idea what's going on?

Very Low Volume From my Brand New Traveldock!

I just got my traveldock for my Zen Microphoto...and am very disappointed... I can barely hear it!! I do not have the "soft sound" button on, and I've checked the connection--it IS docked properly. The sound is of fine quality, just very very low... I have the Microphoto turned all the way up AND the volume on the Traveldock turned all the way up. Please help.

I have the same problem. It appears the audio jack doesn't make proper alignment. It works fine when plugged in through the line in port using a cord. The remote doesn't control the microphoto either when docked. It appears that the microphoto is supported by the traveldock? Any ideas? Does Creative even read these posts? ?

Very low volume from external speakers when watching Netflix

MacBook Pro Why might external speaker volume be extremely low when it is turned up to max in Sounds and on F11?

Do the external speakers have their own volume control?

Very low volume from Music Video

I purchased a music video for the first time and the volume is way, way too low. I have my powerbook cranked all the way up and it's still way too soft. All my other music plays just fine. What can be done about this? It was Alice In Chains music video "Would?"

Hi,
One thing can help is the following. Right click the speaker icon in the Taskbar and select 'Playback Devices'. Left click the default device once to highlight it ( it's usually 'speakers & headphones' ) then click the Properties button. Click the Enhancements tab and put a tick in the box next to 'Loudness Equalization'. Click Apply to save the change and then click OK in all remaining windows and see if this has helped at all.

Very Low volume from headphone output on iMac

Since upgrading my 2011 27" iMac to Yosemite, the sound output from the headphone jack has plummeted, to a point where I can hardly hear it through my external speakers. Before, it was deafening, now it is almost inaudible. Airplay output and the internal speakers seem unaffected. I have restarted, zapped the PRAM, checked Audio MIDI Setup, checked Sound Prefs, everything is turned up to the max, to no effect.
Any idea what might be happening here?

I also experience the same problem with my MacBook Pro 13" last gen. I haven't used my iPod's earphone with it for some time. I have noticed this problem since yesterday (4/6/2010). Beside resetting PRAM, repairing disk and its permission, plug and unplug the head jack, tried with different earphones, check the Audio Midi Setup; I also deleted all audio plist files in /Library and ~/Library folders (incase those preference files are corrupted). Those efforts fail to solve the problem.
Is this a problem caused by 10.6.3? I never have a problem while still using 10.6.2.

No/very low sound out of center spea

I have the sound blaster li've! 24-bit card and i just bought a brand new logitech x-530 system, and hooked it up and everything worked except for the front speaker. I have tried the whole EAX thing and it didn't do anything. I played a game and everything worked, like I could hear the shots behind me and stuff but when i shot a gun, no sound came out the front speaker, and i know thats not right. When i do the creative speaker settings and put it on 5. and do channel it does all of them but the front, but when i put my head way up to the speaker i can hear it. Is there something I need or am I just missing something? PLEASE HELP!!!

I kinda have the same problem - I have no sound from center speaker when doing speaker test, but it's works loud and clear for all other applications.

Very Low Volume Output - Audigy 2

Hi,
All of a sudden my Audigy 2 ZS card has very low volume. Tried different speakers, tried uninstall/reinstall, tried clean boot of XP, no luck. Also, there is faint crackling when I turn volume up but I believe it's only because speakers are fully cranked and there is hardly any sound coming out.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

I didn't have any place to test the card but I did replace it with another one. Unfortunately, the other card gives the same result - very low volume. I suppose this means there is a problem with the motherboard. Do you agree? Is there any other test I could do that might pinpoint the problem area?
Yes, I received a "reply" from Creative. It was a form email that said they received my message and would respond (usually) within 24 hours. That is the only message I received from them.

Songs with very low volume

Hi!!
(Excuse me for my bad english language.)
The songs are being exported with very low volume. I mixed all tracks to best use. I tried all the quality options, including no compression. I also tried with and without Normalize. What else can I try? What could be happening? Tks!

Hi. I Have a Pavilion dv9000 which has always had very low volume - really needs to be increased?

Hi. I Have a Pavilion dv9000 with Vista Ultimate 64. It has always had very low volume and I find I generally have to have the volume up into the 70's 80's as well as the onscreen media player slider almost full - which then gets all distorted - and then have to turn it down again when not using the player as the computer error beeps come screaming out., Ive checked the settings on speakers to make sure all are the same & balanced and also have updated any codecs as needed. Is there a sound lever setting elsewhere?
cheers

Thanks for the reply and peeling my post off Mike, sorry I didn't start my own initially.
Well @ 1333Mhz I was using the rated timings 9-9-9-24 (as per Corsair) but it wasn't very stable as I said.
I have since changed the FSB/RAM ratio to get 1066Mhz and it seemed much happier. (@1.5v) It would be nice to run the RAM at it's rated setting but my OC skills aren't that extensive. I imagine it would need alot of tweeking? Or could I have just relaxed the timings a bit?
Would removing the Switch Cards make any difference?
Thanks in advance.

Very low volume in the speaker

Dears
i've notice of the very low volume level from the built in speaker of the earliest Mac Pro ( i've one ) compared to the previous one (2008...i've one). Is this normal ?
Thanks in advance.

I can tell you right now, that's a complete waste of time! They're just gonna tell you it's "in spec."
It's a crumby speaker... deal with it. If you really care that much about the volume of the audio, you should just get a good pair of external speakers!

Sound is very low volume

I've done a search but can't seem to find any info re the sound volume on my bw G3. The sound out of both the front, built in speaker, and through the headphones, is very low volume output, almost but not quite muted. I've searched and adjusted the controls but to no avail. Could this be a hardware problem or software? There 'is' some movement when I adjust the volume slider but it takes the level from what would normally be 2 of 10 down to nothing. That is, there is no way for me to get the sound to levels that within normal limits. It's like the output is being blocked somehow but is still leaking through enough for me to make out the particular sound (song in this case) that I'm listening to.
Any help would be appreciated. It might not be worth puttiing any money into and I'd like to at least try.
Michael

Michael,
Sounds like you are ahead of the game on testing with headphones. External speakers would not make much of a difference without an amplifier.
"(is there another place to check sound output?)" If you had an AV output you could test sound out of that card. Finding a card might be cheaper than any repair bill and give you a definative answer on if their is a system software level problem.

These articles do not all address your model but give some perspective on software and hardware issues, including how just reseting the PRAM on some machines is the official Apple response.
If you go to the advanced search link at the top of the page and make a query for "no sound" you should get a response similar to this link:

My call having very low volume to the caller

my call having very low volume to the lisner or caller . how to increase form my iphone.

Hey there pawan922,
It sounds like you are being told that your voice is not clear but they sound fine to you. I would use the troubleshooting in the following article to help resolve the issue here, named:
iPhone: Microphone issues
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts5183
Follow these steps, testing after each.
Make sure nothing is plugged in to the jack connector.
Make sure nothing is blocking any of the microphones (refer to the pictures below to find your device's microphones). Check for these:
Dirt or debris
A screen protector or case
When you're holding your phone next to your ear, make sure you don't block the microphone with your fingers or shoulder and make sure to speak into the microphone
Turn the iPhone off and then on.
Update to the latest version of iOS.
If necessary, find general iPhone hardware troubleshooting suggestions.
For further assistance, contact Apple Support.
If the issue persists and you need to make a call, try using headphones with an integrated microphone.
iPhone 4, iPhone 4s:

HP Pavilion g6-1d98dx has very low volume.

Hi there,
I have an
HP Pavilion g6-1d98dx with W7 Ultimate that suddenly has very low volume. I have tried rolling back the drivers, uninstalling them and the device itself.
I also tried that loudness equalization option, but it only makes it worse. It used to sound very good, but now it's horrible. Now I have to wear a headset just to listen to music! Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Hi @Kindakool
I understand that you are having trouble with the sound from your built in speakers. I am happy to help you with this.
You can start with the following page, even though you are getting some sound.
No Sound from the Speakers (Windows 7)
Or you can check the connections on your internal speakers for that you will need:
HP Pavilion G6 Notebook PC - Maintenance and Service Guide
From Microsoft's support website:
Automatically diagnose and fix Windows audio playback problems
If those do not work it is possible that there is a physical problem with the speakers themselves. At that point I would call in to our technical support at 800-474-6836. If you live outside the US/Canada Region, please click the link below to get the support number for your region.

Hi, sorry to hear that you are having issues with your new notebook audio. I will be happy to help with the issue but first I will need to know the exact model number of the computer as well as the operating system you are using. To find the model number, please look on the bottom of the computer. You will see a white sticker. Here is where you will find the model number. If by chance you do not see the model number, please remove the battery and you will find it. I look forward to hearing from you.
Thanks for your time.

Very low volume on headphone jack on MBP 13" but no red light

Hi I am looking for solution for my problem where in I am currently getting very low volume on headphone jack. There was no problem before, everything used to work perfectly fine.
I couldn't find comprehensive solution for this. Could anyone please point me to the correct thread if solution is already available.
my details:
MBP 13" Snow leopard, 10.6.5 - First Gen. Unibody MAC.
problem: Very low volume when headphone is connected.
Things: I have tried:
1. Headphone is fine. Works correctly on windows PC and on my iphone.
2. Tried system pref. volume is max.
3. Upon connecting headphone to MBP it is detected as headphone.
4. Tried Audio MIDI setup, settings seem to be correct 44.1KHz 2ch-16 bit
5. There is NO red light from headphone jack.
6 Tried poking toothpicks in to audio out but didn't help.
7 Tried creating new temp. admin user account but headphone low volume remains.
8. Tried safe boot - no joy.
9 Safe boot was followed by normal boot-> Ran Disk Util tried repair permission. No luck.
10. Also followed steps to clear PR RAM etc. - problem remains.
11. Heard about logic board replacement but don't want to go by that route.
Can anyone point me to correct thread or provide the solution..
help is much appreciated.
Thanks...

I have the exact same problem. i have a macbook pro 13in (mid 2009) with extremely low volume coming from headphone jack. i brought the computer into my local apple store today and they diagnosed my problem as being the result of a faulty logic board. my laptop is out of warranty so they have to send it to the apple repair depot for 3-5 days. the charge is a flat $280 (tax not included). the solution seems extreme though and i hope i don't get any "kernel panicking" with a new board. i will update... also there is no accidental damge to my laptop whatsoever. the problem arrose 2-3wks ago
