Audio Level Way Too Low On Movie

I just downloaded my first movie 'Mamma Mia' from iTunes and the audio level is dramatically lower than the hundreds of songs I have purchased.
Furthermore, the preamp, equalizer, sound check and sound enhancer functions in iTunes 8.02.20 don't seem to work on movie audio although they are fine on music. Bottom line, there is not enough audio level from my iPod Touch to drive parallel headphones on an airplane.
Does anyone know if all iTunes movies have this problem, and if so, what can be done about it? I am used to the normal variations in songs but this is ridiculous. iTunes customer service either doesn't know or won't tell me what is going on.
Thanks

"When the iPod is connected right click on the file (on the iPod) and click Properties."
Well, now it's right click on the file -> Get Info -> Options. And yes, both a volume adjustment and equalizer preset come up but neither is active in the window (not on songs either...) I tried changing several options under the iTunes preferences but wasn't able to activate these adjustments - probably not available on the iPod Touch.
Thanks for the idea, anyway!

  • Audio level way too high after disc burn

    Hello!
    I just burned my first test disc of a project and have come across a strange problem. The audio on all of my tracks has jumped to an extremely high (and unacceptable) level. It is well above the level set in FCP and even what plays when simulating the disc from within DVDSP. The ac3 files out of compressor seem to be fine. In fact, everything seems okay until the actual burn. When playing the disc in DVD Player, it's so loud that in many places there is actual peaking. Is there a setting I'm missing, maybe? I tried searching, but didn't find anything like this.
    Any ideas?

    Hey Drew,
    Gotcha, I just realized it must be fixing something with markers. I haven't had a problem with that yet though, fortunately. I've been exporting directly out of FCP using Compressor, so there's no intermediate file. Like I said, the encoded ac3 sounds perfect, so it seems like it's something happening in DVDSP. Do you know of anything in that program that might have caused this? If it makes any difference, I burned the disc by simply hitting the "burn" button rather than building. Could that cause this sort of thing?

  • My audio levels are too low, what can I do about this?

    I'm recording my voice, and using an external mic.
    I plan on rerecording once all edits are done, but what can I do about this? I''m as close to the mic as possible. Whats my issue!?

    Check the Audio settings in Captivate.  You may need to increase the gain value.
    Is this a USB microphone?

  • Garageband exports my audio's volume too low

    So occasionally Garageband decides to export my audio with an outcome that is too low to hear. The audio sounds perfect while it's recording in Garageband itself, but once it exports to an mp3 and try to play it in Itunes or Quicktime, it's way too low. Anyone know how to fix this?

    What are your settings for "auto normalize" in Garageband's Preferences > Audio?
    Try, if changing that setting helps.
    And check the corresponding options in iTunes, to see, if you have options enabled, that change the sound of your GarageBand songs: Sound Enhancer, Soundcheck. If you enabled those options, turn them off.

  • T420 Microphone volume way too low

    Hi,
    I am having a problem with my ThinkPad's microphone. The problem occurs with the internal microphone as well as an external microphone. The volume is way too low. I need to have my mouth very close (almost against it) to the microphone in order to be able to record anything and therefore  to be able to see my microphone level shift at the recording devices section of Windows. Because of this using a mic is pretty much impossible. The sound level recorded is way too low. 
    I have tried a lot of things and settings: I have deleted the SoundMax drivers to try the drivers that Windows installs by default, and they don't work either. I have tried the put the microphone boost level to the highest settings possible and it certainly helps, but it is still almost just as bad, plus the noise added when boosting the level is unacceptable. I have also checked if the microphone sound recorded isn't being played through the speakers and it isn't. I also disabled any type of post signal processing I came across, but this also didn't help.
    As a last resort I completely reinstalled Windows on my system and installed the SoundMax drivers again, but this didn't work either. 
    Important thing:
    I just tried a Ubuntu live CD and the microphone worked fine. I could just sit away from it and talk to it and it would record my voice pretty good. So I guess the whole problem is pretty much software related.
    Some side info:
    As external mic I was using a headset that comes with almost any type of smartphone nowadays, a headset which has a small (and usually clip-on) microphone and a four pole jack-plug (which the T420 only accepts unfortunately). 
    OS: Windows 7 64 bit Professional
    I really, really hope someone is able to help me with my problem. I love my T420, but this is just unacceptable and very annoying.

    Try disabling all of the Conexant services in Services.
    Also go into Sound, Recording, Internal Microphone, Levels tab.
    Set volume to 100, and boost to +10. This is what works optimally for my W520 on TeamSpeak.

  • Earpiece voume way too low.............E71

    Hey all,
    the earpiece volume on my E71 is WAY too low. How can i get this increased ?
    Thanks

    during a call you can hit the volume button on your phone to increase volume... It's hard to know exactly how low it is for us others, but if youre volume is set to full and you cannot hear a got damned thing, and you've made sure the people who call you are speaking directly into the phone, and you don't have a ear damage, it might be a faulty earpiece.
    I remember I had no troubles with my E71 when it came to earpiece volume even outside.
    Has it always been like this? When did you buy your phone?

  • Wi-Fi connection levels are too low

  • Alarm volume way too low

    Droid Razor Maxx, 2 days old.  Alarm volume is just barely audible if I put my ear next to the speaker.  Ringer volume seems ok and the speakerphone seems ok as well.  Yes, I've gone to settings volume and turned all of them up.  I also went to the alarm app itself and made sure it was all the way up also.
    The alarm volume is only audible if you actually put the phone up to your ear.
    Suggestions??

    The cache was already empty and it (of course) didn't have a clear button.  Data had a tiny bit in it, cleared that.  Alarm volume was unchanged; still too low.
    When I go to settings>sound>volume and move the alarm slider from the far right to the middle then back to the far right, the alarm sounds, but it is exactly the same volume....too low.
    Factory Reset??  Doesn't that mean I get to spend a couple of hours setting the phone up again??

  • E72 phone conversation speaker way too low at max ...

    Hi,
    I checked three E72 units. In all three, the speaker, when at full volume, is way too quiet. This applies to phone conversations put on speaker or off speaker (unit next to ear). In comparison, my previous phone (Nokia 6131) doesn't exhibit this major fault.
    I checked with the local distributor, Eurocom Israel, and they experimented a bit and eventually confirmed my findings.
    Is there a technical solution to this issue?  It really is a shame for an otherwise decent phone...
    Thanks,

    Hi patroni73
    I too have noticed that ever since my last upgrade to 7.0.4 on my iPhone4s I am having the same trouble of increasing speaker volume to High.  Although all of the tools (my volume bars on locked screen, side + bar, General Settings volume) are all the way up  to max with my side switch to ON my ringtones and sounds are all very low.  It feels like this latest upgrade has forgotten the speaker system controls and took care of whatever else the problem was.
    Before the ios 7.0.4 upgrade, my iPhone 4s speaker was high enough and working just fine.  Please help!!!

  • Please help.  My audio track is too low after exporting movie made with Premiere Pro to YouTube.

    Hello.  My crew and I recently completed post-production on an  independent film.  We used Adobe Premiere Pro 5.0 for video and audio  editing.  We had a very low budget for production, so we didn't have the best audio equipment to record sound with.  So in editing, we had to do quite a bit of sound mixing to minimize background/ambient noise and interferences/distortions caused by large electrical appliances in some indoor scenes, such as taverns and cafes.  We managed to clean up the audio, and the audio ultimately sounded great.  However, when we exported the film to YouTube, the entire audio track sounded low.  To hear the film at an adequate level on YouTube, the volume has to be turned all  the way up.  I'm wondering what can be done to export the film to YouTube and maintain strong, optimal audio volume/quality.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you and take care.

    As Jeff of Safeharbor noted, you really need to check the audio meters in Prpro with your "final" project. I found that I could have a sound level that played fine on my computer, but ... on exporting to a DVD ... was way low and required a very high setting on any other computer or a tv to be able to hear. I hadn't actually looked at the audio meters. On checking them ... yeah, the peak was down about -18, the main content of the talking-heads was below that. After raising it with PrPro's audio tools, the sound was fine.
    I'd bet your sound is showing low on the meters ...

  • 3000 530G Speaker level is way too low

    I just got my Lenevo last week. When I play a dvd and have the sound all the way up it is just loud enough to hear if there is not backround noise.  If you put in earphones u have to turn it down.  I have checked all the levels and they are on high.  Not sure what the issue is? 

    Did you find out any solution about the speaker volume being low?
    I'm currently having the same problem.
    Thanks in advance

  • Quicktime .mov... Audio plays way too fast.

    I have a Quicktime video http://www.plymouthbrethren.org/flash/MacDmemo2-2-320x240x30FPS.mov
    which plays the Audio portion like Alvin and the Chipmunks. The original was created in Adobe Premiere Elements @ 29.xxx FPS, under Windows XP Pro. (It did the SAME thing, BTW, when I encoded it at 15 FPS.
    I have no idea why the video appears OK on this, but the sound is all sped up.
    Your help would be much appreciated.
    Thanks
    -Andrew

    Please help!
    I have this same audio playback always sounds like Alvin & the chipmunks, even on TV episodes, songs I download or upload, but not in game play.
    I've run the Windows troubleshooter, dxdiag, and searched for this on iTunes and Quicktime websites and manuals.
    Does anyone have a clue what is wrong and what is needed?

  • HomeFusion 4G/LTE data caps way too low!!! Please raise them!!

    I've had HomeFusion 4G/LTE since January 5th and I absolutely love the speed and low latency over satellite. There's just one big problem that I'm really disturbed about and that's the extremely low data cap it has. I'm paying $135 a month for the 30GB package and I've already hit 25GB in just over 2 weeks. I've watched no movies other than what videos I watch on YouTube. I've downloaded no movies or software in ISO format. I have played WOW a few hours over the past couple of weeks but that uses very little data.
    This HomeFusion is being used by a family household and I can tell you that unless I just tell everyone to just not use the internet, there's no way 30GB is going to be enough data. Supposedly for the first 2 months I'm on some kind of promotional period that actually gives me 45GB, but then it's suppose to drop down to the 30GB thereafter.
    If VZW doesn't raise the caps to real world usage expectations, then I'm going to be spending $300 a month on this connection just to get the extra 15GB that's being offered during the promotional period. That's $10 per 1GB over your limit, which 15GB is $150, then added to the $135 already which will be $285 plus taxes.. That's outrageous for a fixed 4G/LTE connection to my house.
    I'm out in the sticks and probably 1 of only a few that are using the tower for the 4G/LTE it offers. I seriously doubt I'm causing any congestion with how I use my connection.
    Hopefully there are other HomeFusion customers that see the need for VZW to amp up the data caps to something more realistic at around 100GB.
    Recently an article came out showing that the ISPs were using data caps to solely monetize data usage and it had nothing to do with congestion.
    http://www.techspot.com/news/51392-former-fcc-chair-isp-data-caps-are-about-monetization-not-network-congestion.html
    Isn't $135 for a 4G/LTE connection at home already too much?? Come on VZW, please raise the data caps or better yet, eliminate them and just charge for the connection.

    Man..spare me the `there's only so much bandwidth to go around' speech. I live out in a podunk town that is serviced by AT&T, Verizon and Sprint, along with all the other smaller carriers. There's maybe like a dozen people in my area that might even have HomeFusion and that's because they are crazy enough to shell out $60-$120 a month for a better internet experience than satellite.
    Just because YOUR area has few people doesn't mean that what Verizon should base pricing on. Verizon has standardize pricing. So they have to price for ALL areas.
    I just want more data than the 30GB,, because number 1, HomeFusion is marketed as a home residential service. It's not like there are thousands of smart phones like in a mid-sized city accessing it. It's a broadband product that is marketed for family use. 30GB is a joke to give a family, when whoever it is that runs the HomeFusion department knows that a family can easily eat up 100GB if everyone were to stream movies and play games. 100GB would be more than enough for the HomeFusion subscriber that has to pay $150 just for internet. LTE is delivering 40+Mbps where I'm located.. I would settle for 10Mbps for my needs.
    LTE is not a replacement for REAL internet. That's just factual. So if yo want REAL internet you'll have to move where it is. Maybe that's not fair but that's the reality. Maybe in a couple of years you can get more than 30 GB.
    If Verizon is so concerned about bandwidth consumption, then use QoS metrics to balance out the bandwidth to everyone connected to a specific tower if congestion is detected.. You act like if someone uses 100GB of data over a wireless connection it's eating up all the available bandwidth a tower might have.. Not really. Suppose that 100GB is being scheduled to download at late night when the network is generally idle??
    Ok then everyone will get 500 kbps. How does that sound?
    I've had both Exede and Hughesnet Gen4. Fast they are, but they pull the same crap that the wireless carriers are pulling.. Claiming that people who use too much data are congesting their networks.. That's a load of crap. What's congesting the network is having low bandwidth and having too many people eating up that bandwidth to download content.. If you have 50Mbps wireless that download takes a fraction of the time it would take someone with 3-5Mbps. They get what they want fast and the available bandwidth becomes free again for whoever else may need it.
    Just like mobile they are bandwidth constrained. You can belive what you want. Not believing the truth doesn't make it not true. 2+2=4 no matter how much you want it to equal 5.
    It's basically called control. The carriers want control of what you can do on their networks. It used to be subscribers just paid for the connection fee and they did what they wanted. But ever since carriers thought they could monetize data usage and there's no law for them to not do it, they do whatever they want, squeezing the customer for more and more money...
    Even if what you said was 100% true there is nothing you can do about it. Coming here to complain certainly won't do anything. Your choice is to either pay or not to pay.
    VZW has 115 million subscribers.. do the math. They make billions each month. They make more than enough money to put back into their network to increase capacity. So does AT&T. If either carrier doesn't want their wireless networks to become too congested, then start upgrading their wireline services to fiber/cable instead of claiming they are dumping wireline services and pushing people to wireless..
    Actually they do invest in their networks. They spend billions each year. Verizon has 20 MHz total for LTE right now. 10 for uplink 10 for downlink. That has to be share with Homefusion and mobile data customers both residential and business. Spectrum is a finite resource. It will take time to acquire and deploy it. Try doing some research on how mobile technology works before question the validity of what I'm saying. I did the research you should too. My posts are based on FACTS not wishes or conspiracy theories..
