Audio out low volume

Our Motorola qip6416-2 suddenly is producing a very low volume on the volume out connectors. Volume to the TV is OK, but we have both a stereo and a TV-Anywhere hooked up to the audio out, and the volume on both has taken a sudden plunge. Any suggestions on settings that might need to be adjusted?
Thanks

Try looking at the compression setting and the fixed or adjustable setting (all under menu => audio).

Guitar audio drop-out at lower volumes

I have tried out mainstage on a friends macbook pro, to check if it will be worth an investment into Logic over Garageband, mainly as an effects emulator for my guitar so I don't need to worry about amps in my small flat.   I connected through an Edirol UA-5 USB audio interface and while there were some issues with this interface anyway due to the fact I could only use input-1 rather than the Hi-Z Input-2 that I should use, I wanted to check some audio problems I had and see how to fix them.
Basically, at full volume on my guitar it seems to work fine, but as soon as I turn the guitar volume knob down there is literally no sustain anymore, I can hear a brief note and then it just cuts out, no gradual loss just stops.   If I only plug the interface in without mainstage then the monitor channel gives me the full volume control I expect and I tried my guitar on a proper external amp and it seemes to be fine so i've eliminated my guitar as the problem.
Anyone experienced this or have any suggestions to try to get it to work.
Also, if I use garage band I don't hear the output fromt he amp/effects simulators, only raw guitar and I only hear the final version if I record it and then play it back. Is there a way to get Garage band to act as a amp/fx simulator in a live mode like mainstage does or is the fact mainstage is playing back through the interface what might be causing the problems in some feedback loop??   Beginning to think an iRig would have been a better option......

Hi
Sounds like you may have a Noise Gate in there somewhere?
CCT
yeah I thought of that but couldn't see anything, and think my knowledge of what a noise gate would do is slightly rusty since I assumed that at louder volumes it would clip and at lower volumes it would be fine....i'll have a play next time I am over my friends and see if I can spot anything.
Thanks for the quick reply.

MBP audio out from headphone jack is extremely low in volume

i just sent my macbook pro 13in (mid 2009 model) to the apple store (out of warranty). my problem was that the audio out from the headphone jack was very very low and staticky. the problem arose about 2-3wks ago. i've owned the laptop since june 2009. i've never dropped or damaged it (no water damage, etc)
my local apple store told me they had to replace logic board which seems extreme for what my problem is. i've read numerous forum posts saying that their computers came back with flickering "kernel panic"
has anyone else had a similar audio problem with their computer, and if so was it resolved in this manner?
thanks!

I think you may be mistaken. the static coming from macbooks audio output port is as old a story as the macbook itself. IMO, epic fail on apple's part. I am debating complaining in a few months when I decide I deserve a better sound quality from a ridiculously overpriced laptop.

M-Audio Profire/AKG mic... LOW volume! Power issues?

Hey guys, desperately need some help here. So I've got an M-Audio Profire 610 interface, using an AKG Perception 200 condenser mic. I am having issues with REALLY LOW VOLUME! And I'm pretty positive I have everything setup correctly. XLR to XLR mic cable(I threw out my old one and bought a brand new one, still didn't solve the problem). I've got phantom power on and the profire is connected via firewire 400. All drivers and software are up-to-date. Got the latest OSX, running all of this on a relatively new imac.
I have no idea why the AKG mic won't pick up sounds nearly as loud as it should. I have the gain up on the Profire up at 90% which is sufficient enough but the recordings are muffly and not as crisp as they used to be. Once upon a time I used this same mic with a Powerbook G4 and M-Audio Mobile Pre, and the mic worked AMAZINGLY in both Garageband and Logic Express, it picked up EVERYTHING and I never needed to put the gain on the Mobile Pre past 40%--it was a super sensitive mic. One day out of nowhere, however, the gain volume became ridiculously low and I had to max everything out on the Mobile Pre and Garageband/Logic, but it sounded like crap. No hiss and not too much distortion, just LOW volume. The mic was hardly used and I'm having a hard time believing the mic is the problem, just because I only used it a handful of times before the gain crapped out on me. The strong sensitivity came on and off a couple times after that, but the volume is now low all the time. The only other mic I've tried to use with the Profire is an SM57. It works, but really low gain. Guitars and keys have worked perfectly fine, no gain problems.
I thought the original problem back in the day was my Mobile Pre, so I bought the Profire. Now I'm still having the same problem with ultra low volume. My mic used to pick up sounds from another room or even cars driving outside my window, and now I have to sing RIGHT into it for anything to even be audible. What the **** happened to my crisp/loud sounds? Is it possible that I'm not getting enough power? Would running the Profire via firewire 800 help at all? I'm going crazy here, I have no idea why my mic totally blows now. I guess at this point it seems like the mic could be the problem, but I'm scared of buying a new condenser mic and having the SAME problem all over again.
What do you guys think? Power problems, the mic itself, wrong setup? All I want to do is pin point this thing, any help at all would seriously be appreciated!

Since you've already swapped cables, I would guess it's either the mic or the interface. Since you've already swapped interfaces, logically I would guess it's the mic.
Can you bring the mic to a music store or some other place where you could plug it into another interface or mixing board and see if it also doesn't work there? That would clinch it.

3GS audio records at a low volume

Hi all
ive been playing around with the video recorder on mt 3GS and the audio recording level is very low, the same is happening with the memo recorder.
The volume on the phone is turned all the way up when im playing back and this doesnt seem to help much.
Ive uploaded videos to youtube and the volume is still low.
When im using the memo recorder the VU needle hardly moves at all?
When i make calls all is fine, the other party can hear me pefectly clearly.
Im totally stumped
Anyone got any ideas?
Christopher

I seem to remember someone several months ago having this same problem and I think it turned out to be the AUX cord.
FM transmitters tend to have low volume associated with them as well from my experience.

Low volume recording audio w/ mixer

I have a Behringer UB1204- PRO mixer and I am trying to record vocals with that, but I can only record and get playback at a very quiet volume. I'm a bit of a novice when it comes to recordng audio, but I have my phantom power on, it records fine, but I wanted to know how to turn it up because I can barely hear my vocals. My main mix sliders are up, the levels are green/yellow and I can still barely hear anything. Anything who is recording with a mixer and not a dedicated seperate preamp, can you help me out?

Keith Do, "Low volume recording audio w/ mixer" #2, 01:19am Sep 26, 2005 CDT
Is that going to affect the vocal quality if my trim is almost at the max?
it can, but that depends on the input. Use your ears.
OK, well the other thing is to look at the input attenuation on your audio interface. In most cases it should be -10dB (consumer)

WP8 WASAPI Low Volume Audio Recording Problem on VOIP App

Hello,
I am working on a VOIP app and WASAPI is used for the app. I am using WASAPI in SHARED_MODE. Captured audio frames are turned out to be in low volume. For some devices, the audio volume is almost silent (Specially for Lumia 730).
From the VOIP app documentation, i found out that only ISimpleAudioVolume is supported for volume control for Windows Phone. (Ref: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/jj715884(v=vs.105).aspx). But ISimpleAudioVolume::GetMasterVolume(float
*pfLevel) always returns pfLevel=1.0
Volume level in other VOIP apps like Skype,Viber seems normal. So, i am wondering what's wrong is going on??
Thanks,
Haider

Hi haiderBd,
In fact, Only ISimpleAudioVolume API is supported for Windows Phone 8. IAudioStreamVolume or IChannelAudioVolume is not supported for Windows Phone 8. Am i right or i have missed something else?
-> Yes, you are correct, if you read carefully about the Requirements section, you should be able to find that ISimpleAudioVolume supported on Windows Store App, but it also mentioned does not supported on Windows Phone 8, which means the API is acceptable
for Windows Store App for instance PC and tablet.
Again, IChannelAudioVolume only support on Windows Desktop, which means the api can be only used in desktop development for instance WPF, winform and etc...
What could be the reason for low volume recording? Is there any way to increase the volume?
-> I'm not that familiar with WASAPI, perhaps related with Share Mode? Try with exclusive mode to see if listening to one audio endpoint device while recording.
I will also try to find some experts to help you with this question.

Audio playback is clipped and has low volume

Hi, I'm hoping that someone can help me debug my audio problems.
The problem is that audio playback is clipped and has low volume.
The details of my setup are as follows:
- An onboard soundcard (ASUS M4A78LT-M-LE motherboard), identified as Intel HDA in dmesg:
description: Audio device
product: SBx00 Azalia (Intel HDA)
vendor: ATI Technologies Inc
physical id: 14.2
bus info: pci@0000:00:14.2
version: 00
width: 64 bits
clock: 33MHz
capabilities: pm bus_master cap_list
configuration: driver=snd_hda_intel latency=64
resources: irq:16 memory:f9ff4000-f9ff7fff
- ALSA (snd_hda_intel driver) and Pulseaudio
My ALSA mixer settings (which were used in the recording shown in this post) are at pastebin.
The mixer settings were chosen so that all "dB gain" is 0.00 for all columns in alsamixer.
Recording an MP3 (played at full volume) from the Stereo Mixer source in audacity I gives output which looks clipped and has low volume (link).
This occurs with any MP3 and any other sound source (Youtube in Chromium, etc.)
The problem does not occur when I boot into Windows XP, so it doesn't seem to be a hardware problem.
I'm also attaching a screenshot of my alsamixer playback screen for the soundcard (link)
Thanks for any assistance!

Hi,
I have the same problem since December 2011 with a similar Mainboard (Asus M4A78T-E).
Did you resolve your problem?
Thanks

Audio out volume when Macbook is music server

I have moved my Late-2007 Macbook running 10.7.5 to be a music server.
This computer has a single analog/digital audio out/headphone jack.
I have a a 3.5 mm audio jack that splits into left-right RCA jacks which are plugged into my Yamaha stereo receiver. I guess since this is also a headphone port, the level of the output depends on the volume setting on the Mac.
When I turned it all the way down, I had to turn the Yamaha almost full blast to hear it.
At medium Mac volume it seemed to sound quite good through the Yamaha, which only needed a volume similar to, say, the CD player would take.
Is there any downside -- distortion or damage to the stereo receiver or bookshelf speakers -- to turning up the volume on the Mac? How far should I turn it up and/or how much of the volume should be made by the Yamaha?
If I get an external DAC to run between the Macbook and receiver and use a digital optical cable plugged into the Macbook's audio out, will it revert to digital line out with no volume control by the Macbook?

MSI Z97 Gaming 7.. No Audio out of SPDIF / USB Audio low / SB Cinema Crashes

I use a TOS for my speakers and I'm not getting any audio out. I have S/PDIF selected as default under Audio in control panel. Not sure if the "SB Cinema" works on the digital side, but it crashes all the time when I open it. My USB Logitech 930 is up all the way. The audio is very low. Running Win8.1 and BIOS 1.10.. I'm about to update to 1.50

Sorry can't help you much with the audio issue, although something doesn't sound right (no pun intended). SB should be working. I have the same board as you with a 4790k and my SB works great, but I don't have it running at startup.
Just be careful with the BIOS update to v1.5. You'll be rolling the dice to try it. I'm still reeling from frustration with my Gaming 7 board and BIOS updates. I borked BIOS A with a bad flash from "M Flash" and now am running on the backup BIOS B. I did manage though to get BIOS B updated to v1.5 though just tonight. But A is still down for the count.
At least my system is running great on BIOS B. Thank God for these dual BIOS'es.

Seemingly low volume for X-Fi Xtrememu

Today, the second time I booted up my computer I began to receive an interesting problem. My audio worked to some extent, but the volume was exceedingly low. I had to put my ear right next to the speakers to hear anything. I pulled out my headphones and plugged them in -- Same result, low volume. When I disabled the X-Fi and enabled my onboard audio, the volume was crystal clear and worked perfectly fine. I didn't change any software, drivers, hardware, or anything of that sort within the two reboots either.
I checked the obvious and made sure my volume was high in the X-Fi configuration panel, the windows panel, and my media players. Everything was maxed out. When I turned up my volume to the maximum on my speakers I could hear things better, but it was horribly distorted and sounded as if they were being over dri'ven. Normally I never have to increase the volume on the speakers much to hear anything, their usually on about 20-30% and I hear them perfectly fine.
I posted about this before on another site and It was recommended I try installing the latest drivers. So I decided to do an uninstall of the X-Fi drivers for good measure and, after rebooting, I installed the drivers and rebooted once more as it prompted me. The same exact result as before: sound that seems to have very low volume. After this, they recommended I try a different PCI slot as it may be damaged. I tried the other PCI slot and I had the same exact results as before. I did not want to install the card into the slot right next to my video card because it looked like the fan would be right up against the PCB of the X-Fi and that it might impede air flow and cause both cards to overheat.
Does anyone know what might be the problem? I'm using the latest drivers I saw (September 9th I believe) and the X-Fi has worked great for the past week and a half. I really don't want to have to own a $00 paperweight and revert to onboard audio.
Edit: If it helps any, I'm running on the following:
Asus A8N32 SLI Deluxe
AMD Opteron 70
X-Fi Xtrememusic
GeForce 7900 GT
If you need any other info, i'll post it.Message Edited by Sagekilla on 0-22-2006 2:9 PM

Bump.. Does anyone know how to fix this problem? I've made a list of all the fixes I've attempted
- Checked the volume in Creative's console, the Windows volume control in my tray bar, and in the Control Panel under "Audio and Sound devices"
- Made sure default device was the X-Fi
- Made sure the speakers was plugged in the right spot
- Made sure the speakers weren't faulty (I tested with a pair of head phones and on my iPod)
- Made sure I had the latest drivers
- Did the diagnostic, didn't help
- Did a system restore that made things worse
- Switched the PCI slot the sound card was in
- Tried onboard audio and found the audio there worked fine (I don't want onboard audio and a $00 paper weight though)
- Made sure onboard audio was uninstalled and disabled
- Posted on the creative labs forums and got no replies
- Safe Mode doesn't even recognize the Sound card
I'm pretty sure this isn't something stupid like "Is the volume turned up?"

X-fi xtreme gamer card - LOW VOLUME - unusa

Problem:
I'm using the x-fi xtreme gamer card and the Left, Right, Left Rear (LR) and Right Rear (RR) sound is too low. However the RR is slightly more audible for some reason. Bass seems a bit low, but the center speaker makes my ears bleed when volume is put to max (NOTE: low speakers are barely audible, not usable, on max).
Ownership:
6-8+ months, and have never gotten it to work correctly.
Attempts:
I have searched all over (including this forum) for answers and have only come across a plethora of similiar issues. No resolution seems to work other than " RMA". This forum seems to have NO answers what-so-ever regarding this issue, only a lot of people without $00+ bucks in their pocket and Silicon paper weight. ?
- All volume options are currently at max
-various audio devices (swap between [color="#3366ff">Boss Comfort quiet head phones and Razer 5. headphones)
-disk drivers, updated drivers, Beta drivers
-swaped PCI slots
-reinstallation of OS
-Installed with various OS (32-bit 64-bit)
-Installed on more than one PC.
Ironically enough I bought this card because I got ripped off by Razer's sound card product which advertised support for the OS I was using at the time but didnt. So it seems I'm never going to get any good audio out of my computing experience. Please help.

I don't know if I can be of help either since the symptoms are so strange and different from others on the forum. It really appears to be a cabling issue. Are you using the correct cable "adapter" for that card? The one only Creative Labs sells for $24.99 plus shipping? That adapter features three color-matched plugs, two which have 3-conductor plugs on them for the back surround, side surround and the center/subwoofer. The green one?has a standard 2-conductor plug for the front channels. The other end has eight clearly labelled RCA plugs for hookup to your multi-channel analog inputs on a home theater receiver or equivalent multimedia speaker system. You will most likely need eight double-female adapters to hook up long cables. If you're using some other hookup, it could be the trouble although with so many speakers weak it's even hard to believe for sure that that is the answer. I'm also assuming that you're using the Multi-Channel analog hookup. If you're using the coaxial digital hookup it's a whole different story altogether.

Exporting for DVD requires extremely low volumes, is that normal?

Hi,
I have completed a project and when exporting to dvd I find I need to lower the master volume by 18 db for it to not cause tv speakers to pop, I try it out on several different tv's with the same result.
When I mix my audio none of it exceeds 0 db, nothing is in the red and nonetheless I lowered by 6 db, but it won't be enough until I export at -18 Db.
I do this by lowerng the master audio level from 0 to -18.
Is this normal?

Hunt, thanks for the reply!
I do the same, well I use beyer dynamic dt 770 pro headphones for monitoring, then I test the audio out on a stereo and a 5.1 surround setup.
If I export the audio on a cd it sounds great everywhere, put it on dvd and it goes to hell.
Is it possible that audio cd's are at 44100 16 bit wheras dvd audio is 48000 khz?
Doesn't make much sense to me, but the way I see it the irony is this:
Play and audio cd where the audio peaks at 0db through your tv and it sounds great, play a dvd with the same audio on it and it kills the speakers :S
Is it possible that mpeg2 encoding boosts audio levels for some reason and you need to correct it by pushing audio levels down?
I found this link after doing some research:
http://dvcreators.net/discuss/showthread.php?t=25404
Basically this question was asked:
1. *is there a certain db level an audio track should be if you plan to burn to DVD?
amongst others,
The reply was:
Use the audio meters to gauge audio level. Peaks should be at -16 to -12.
Why is this do you think?
-2 db would not work when I burn to dvd, it would kill the speakers of either a surround system or a stereo tv system, including my samung hdtv.
When I export to dvd I first export from premiere the built in Mpeg-2 DVD setting and then use either windows dvd maker or idvd on my mac to burn to dvd.

Low volume level help

I imported video to my ipod and the volume is almost too low to hear ! I've been to settings and maxed out the volume but no improvment. I understand that there is and automatic upper level set but there is a workaround. Any help with sharing how to increrase violume ?
Thanks

I am talking about the volume limit button and is now set to maximum. However the one file I'm trying to work volume on did not improve. I'm wondering if there's way to improve or clean up volume when using Popcorn 3 ? Sometings scewy somewhere ? The other video file From the same source I'm working with seems to be fine with audio. Mac or electronic voodoo.
Thanks
