Audio Books Playback w/Echo on 3Gs

When playing audio books on my 3Gs I'm getting a reverberate or echo to the sound. iSO 4.3.3.
Anyone have any thoughts on what might be causing this and how to fix it?

Ok, I found my answer on page 95, http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/iphone_user_guide.pdf
I needed to know how to bring up the controls for the audio playback. Mine had gotten changed to .5x speed.

Changing Audio Book Playback Speed?

I wasn't able to find where you can change the playback speed of Audio Books in iTunes. Can someone point me to where this setting is?
It's pretty easy on iPhone/iPod/etc... it's just a little button under the scrubber that allows for 1/2x, 1x, or 2x. But I can't see the option in iTunes. I'd assume iTunes on a Mac is capable of as much or more than the functions on an iPod/iPhone, but... I can't find the button.

In any case, if my Mac had problems, I'd send it in for service....!!!
About your problem, I don't think that it depends on hardware.
I'd check Live configuration and the SR of the audio files: you know, Live has so many features to modify speed and a lot of other parameters that bacomes easy to forget something.
Try recording something with Garage Band so you will be sure if there is a real problem.

Slow playback of audio books on Zen To

Hi,
was just wondering if anyone had any experience with audio books playback? I have dowloaded some free audio books, which are predictably of very poor quality.
The problem is, while they play ok on an PC (lots of noise etc, but bearable), the playback on ZT is slowed down, like a cassete player (remember those) when the battery is dying.
any suggestions?
and does anyone know of any good free audio books sources with a decent quality?
many thanks!

they are encoded at the wrong speed, although i dont know much about this, if you search "slowed down" you will get a thread that will solve your problem

I recently downloaded an audio book, while the book sounds ok on my mac it has an echo in my iPad. Any way to fix ?

I recently downloaded an audiobook from itunes the audio book has an echo on my iPad although it works on my main mac...any ideas?

Hello robbinredbreast,
I'd recommend putting the iPod into 'manual mode.' This will need to be done from the computer that it's normally synced to in order to prevent removing existing content, but it can then be connected to your computer, and you can add the audio book without removing the current library on the device.

Echo in audio of audio books?

Hi I'm new to the iPod but I must be doing something wrong.
My podcasts, video podcasts, TV shows and music all sound perfect! I downloaded two audio books "Nightfall" by Nelson Demille and "Hitchkickers Guide". Both of these have an echo when I play them back. I've tried three different headsets and the problem is still there. When I play the audiobooks from the ipod through my iMac they sound perfect through all the headsets and speakers.
Do I have a problem with the pod or me?!
Any suggestions or insights welcome!

I had this as well and fixed it by changing the audiobook "speed".
Trying the following:
from main menu select: Settings -> Audiobooks -> and change it to Normal.
I had it set to Slow and there was an echo, but went away when I changed it to Normal.
Hope this helps.

Can't find my audio book -- Downloaded it from my public library to iTunes via Overdrive. It transferred to my old nano just fine but, even though it seemed to transfer to my new iPhone, I'm not able to locate it for playback.

Thank you. That solved the problem. So simple but it wasn't intuitive to me.

After purchasing Michael Connelly's audio book Echo Park, I discovered it is in French... reviewing the purchase I did not find any notation about language or option to change the language. I downloaded 3 other books in English. Can I get it in English?

How do you get Michael Connelly's audio book Echo Park in English... it is in French.

It sounds like you may have multiple problems, but none of them are likely to be caused by malware.
First, the internet-related issues may be related to adware or a network compromise. I tend to lean more towards the latter, based on your description of the problem. See:
http://www.adwaremedic.com/kb/baddns.php
http://www.adwaremedic.com/kb/hackedrouter.php
If investigation shows that this is not a network-specific issue, then it's probably adware. See my Adware Removal Guide for help finding and removing it. Note that you mention AdBlock as if it should have prevented this, but it's important to understand that ad blockers do not protect you against adware in any way. Neither would any kind of anti-virus software, which often doesn't detect adware.
As for the other issues, it sounds like you've got some serious corruption. I would be inclined to say it sounds like a failing drive, except it sounds like you just got it replaced. How did you get all your files back after the new drive was installed?

Voice "echo" in audio books

howdy apple fans!
here is my issue...
in listening to my audio books the voice has, what i can best describe as, an echo. the "echo" is close enough to the word it repeats that i can still understand the context of the words being spoken but it is distracting to listen to.
any thoughts out there on how to fix this?
thanks!

Finally, does this happen with all audiobooks? Are these audiobooks from the iTunes Store?

Audio Books Not Resuming / Ipod locks if exit Music after 2.2.1 Upgrade

Hello,
I have a 1G 16GB Ipod Touch, and have been running 1.1.4 for the past year until about a week ago when I took the plunge and upgraded to 2.2.1. I thought all went well, but have been experiencing multiple problems as my use of the Ipod expands.
I subscribe to Audible and listen to long audio books on my drive to work. In 1.1.4 I was able to pause the books, go off and do other things, and come back to resume where I left off. This feature no longer works correctly for me after the 2.2.1 upgrade.
After pausing an audio book, I am able to resume playback where I left off if I stay within the Music application (even playing other songs or books). However, if I exit the Music application back to the Main Menu, the Ipod locks for about 30 seconds before I can start another app, lock, or go back into music. If music is playing when I go back to the Main Menu, it will continue during this time the Ipod is locked and then stop. If no music is playing, the Ipod still locks, so it doesn't matter if music is playing or not.
After the Ipod becomes responsive again, I can go back into Music, but I find that all my audio books have reverted back to the bookmarks that existed a week ago when I did the upgrade. For example, I was on Chapter 6 of a book when I did the upgrade, listened up to Chapter 10 and paused. I exited the Music, came back in, and it reverted to the exact second in Chapter 6 where the bookmark was placed before the upgrade. I have tried multiple experiments with this, and it's always the same result. I upgraded to 2.2.1 to use Apps, so it stinks that I can't leave Music...ever.
Is there anything that I can do to fix this issue or am I going to be forced to downgrade back to 1.1.4?
Thank you very much!

Well, I managed to fix the problem thru sheer brute force so I figured I would at least pass along what I did in case someone else has this issue. Evidently, doing an in-place upgrade does not work so as a last resort I used "Restore", cleared the Ipod, reloaded everything back on and the playback positions are now working again in music and video. Something screwy must have happened during the upgrade and just needed to start over. Still trying to reload everything (they REALLY need a mass backup feature for photos/music/videos) but looks like it will work.

Audio books from Audible won't sync with 10.5

I've recently upgraded from iPhone 3GS to iPhone 4S and upgraded iTune to 10.5. As part of the iTune upgrade I can no longer sync my audio book libary (from Audible) to the iPhone. I've tried moving them into a new playlist, copying them in and out of Books in iTunes, deauthorising my audible account but no joy. I have a work around in that I can use the Audible App on the iPhone but would rather manage all my media via iTunes. Any pointers to sort this out?

Help with audio books on CDs please

Please be gentle, I'm totally new to the ipod phenomenon and itunes etc.
Just got a new ipod touch and want to put my previously purchased Harry Potter audio cd's on to it to listen to. Trouble is when I do that it classes them as music rather than putting them in the audio book section of the ipod. Now it's not a huge problem but it really is quite irritating. I object to paying the extortionate rate on itunes for something I've already got so don't want to download them again.
Is there a way of changing the way itunes recognises my cds to class it as an audio book and if so is there a way of combining the 7+ cd's for each book together so that it becomes just 1 book rather than having them as seperate cd's called the same thing? (hope I'm making sense here!)
If anyone can help I'd be very grateful.

Take another look. The Aldoblog isn't really complicated. The summary of items to note
- You can reduce your file size by going to preferences/advanced/import and changing to 32kps (more details in the blog). Not necessary, but will save you lots of space.
- You want to joint the cd tracks to limit the number of files. Highlight all the tracks, and select join tracks from the advanced menu. You do this each time you import a disk, and end up with one track for each CD.
- Once you've got all your disks read in, then select the tracks to get info (you can right click). Under options, select "remember playback position". That way when you only have to remember which disk you last played.
I create a playlist for each audio book.

Playing Audio Books on Shuffle 4th gen

I just got the new shuffle - wanted something really easy to operate for listening to my audio books at the gym. One button stop/start is great. However, found that if I accidentally hit the fast forward button (like when I am unclipping) it goes back to the beginning of the book - and there is no way to advance within the book. It is treating it like one giant track. The only way I can get back to where I was is to sync it back with iTunes on my laptop since I can advance the playback in iTunes.
Is anyone using shuffle for audio books and is there a way around this problem? It seems like there is very little control on the shuffle - I am not complaining - it is what it is and it is only 49 bucks)
But if there is some way i can break the book into chapters (on my iPod touch it has individual chapters and fast forward jumps through the chapters) or if there is some magic combination of double clicks that will do the trick I would love to find that out.
Thanks

If you press and hold the fast forward or rewind button, it will scan forward through the current track. That at least will let you get where you want to be quicker, without having to reconnect to itunes.
