Caller sounds like they are in a tunnel when receiving or making a call.  When using earphones I can hear great.

When placing or receiving a call with new iphone 5 using the earpiece on the phone, the person on the other end sounds very low, like in a tunnel.  Volume is as high as it will go.  Earbuds work great but I can't always use them, I need to be able to do a NORMAL call without earbuds. 

Update - made an appointment at Genius bar today (chadstone, Victoria, Australia).
Genius examined phone, replicated the issue and identified a malfunctioning main microphone. He noted that the reason I could still talk to the other party when I activated the 'speakerphone' function is that the speakerphone has a (second) noise cancelling microphone/speaker at the top of the handset. He replaced the phone under warranty, and offered to help me to set up the new phone. In and out in less than 15 minutes, with new phone operational.
Very knowledgable, very polite and just great service.. Thank you Apple team at Chadstone.

    Try these in order - from best option on down...
    1. Do you have an up-to-date back up? If so, try copy the library6.iphoto file from the back up to the iPhoto Library allowing it to overwrite the damaged file.
    2. Download <a href="http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/"><b><u>iPhoto Library Manager</b></u></a> and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.
    3. If neither of these work then you'll need to create and populate a new library.
    To create and populate a new *iPhoto 6* library:
    Note this will give you a working library with the same Rolls and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, modified versions, books, calendars etc.
    Move the iPhoto Library to the desktop
    Launch iPhoto. It will ask if you wish to create a new Library. Say Yes.
    Go into the iPhoto Library on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual Roll Folders to the iPhoto Window and it will recreate them in the new library.
    When you're sure all is well you can delete the iPhoto Library on your desktop.
    In the future, in addition to your usual back up routine, you might like to make a copy of the library6.iPhoto file whenever you have made changes to the library as protection against database corruption.

  • IPhone 4 updated from 6.0 to 7.1.2 and now the picture no longer appears when receiving or making phone calls.  How do I fix this?

    I updated the software for my iPhone 4 from 6.0 to 7.1.2 and now pictures (contact picture/picture ID's) no longer appear (take up the entire screen) when receiving or making phone calls.  They only show in a small circle which is not convenient at all.  How do I fix this, please?

    You are welcome. I have seen numerous posts on this subject, so I suspect you are correct. It doesn't seem like a welcome change. You can send feedback to Apple at http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html

  • Mic is too sensitive, calls constantly cut out. People tell me y loud, and it sounds like I'm in a tunnel. Any background noise, and call is completely cutting out. This occurs all the time, but more so using earphones with in cord mic.

    I have iphone5 ios6 and the Mic is too sensitive, and calls constantly cut in and  out. People tell me there is loud background noise and it sounds like I'm in a wind tunnel. Any background noise, and call completely cuts in and out and sounds as if call is dropping. This occurs all the time, but more noticeable while using earphones with in cord mic. I never had this problem with my old iphone4. Has anyone experienced this, and is there a setting that can correct this problem?

    Same problem for me.  So bad in fact that I can't really use my headphones for calls.  I have tried it with several sets of headphones.  My primary are the Bang and Olufsen headphones which were great with the previous iphone 4 and 3. 
    Apple please address this issue.

  • My MacBook Pro internal speakers sound like they are playing through the headphone jack, why is this? How can I fix it?

    Periodically, the sound from my MacBook Pro speakers cuts out to where it sounds as if I am just blasting music through a pair of headphones.  The start up sounds and even some normal sounds coming from my computer are at the regular balanced speaker level.  I sometimes use external speakers and have not had this problem with them.  This has been happening more and more lately, and for longer periods of time. I'm running 10.7.5

    What frame rate/frame size/codec did you record?
    How did you transfer it into FCX?

  • Why do my podcasts sound like they are in an echo chamber?

    All the podcasts I have downloaded have developed an echo effect. This includes podcasts that were downloaded prior to the development of this problem. Echo does not effect i Tunes downloads. Do I need to reset or what?

    I figured it out...
    Somehow, my "system preferences > sound > output" got changed back to "built in speakers" on my iMac instead of my audio interface which puts out sound through my active monitors, but I guess since the way Logic works, the output always goes back out through the interface when playing back from within Logic, so when I was playing back the MP3 on my desktop, it was coming through the built in speakers on my iMac.
    So if you are having this same issue, check and make sure your audio interface is selected as your output in "SYSTEM PREFERENCES>SOUND"

  • This relates to an earlier question I asked:  I have an iPhone and can send messages to a galaxy phone but the person cannot receive them; however, I can send them and it sounds like they are sent, but are not received.  I can get them from a galaxy.

    This relates to an earlier question I asked:  I have an iPhone and can send messages to a galaxy, but the person cannot receive them; however, I can receive messages from the galaxy.  I have only had an iPhone so the problem does not relate to a change in phones.  Up until about 1month ago I could send to the galaxy and they could be read.  Help!

  • I upgraded my iTunes to 10.5 and now all my songs sound like they are being played thru an electronic synthsizer? What is that about???

  • Nano sounds terrible, music sounds like it's in a tunnel!

    I loaded my entire I-Tunes library on my new nano, but the music sounds like it is in a tunnel. I have tried 4 different pairs of headphones and completely wiped it out and RE-loaded the library again, with the same results. I tried to change the EQ option, but nothing has helped. Any suggestions or should I go back to the Apple store to get a new one?

    had the same problem...seems alot of people are...the headphones may appear to be all the way in but they aren't. i shoved them in and they work fine now

  • When using Apple earphones, the phone sounds like I'm in a tunnel.

    I just got a new iPhone 4 and when I use the Apple earphones while talking on the phone, it sounds like I'm in a tunnel. This never happened with my 3GS. This doesn't happen when I am listening to music. Then it sounds fine. Any ideas on what is causing this?

  • Why are my photos and videos syncing sideways in my computer? When I email or sync photos they are sideways.  I've called apple and they are no help.  I can fix the pictures, but the videos are a different story.  Please help.  I have an HP comp Win 7

    My pictures and videos are shown correctly in my phone and when I play videos in itunes they are upright, but the location they are saved on my computer they are side ways.  There has got to be a setting somewhere to fix this.  Please help.

    Generally I would not use Facebook for sharing any photos, it compresses the photos substantially, and when you have shadows and dark colours you get visible "bands" where there should be subtle gradients, ie at sunsets and sunrises.
    It sounds like you are using two methods to upload to Facebook:
    1. Sharing from within Aperture, which basically syncs Facebook with your Aperture album, so any changes made at either end gets synced, hence the deletions from Albums, although the original file should still be in your library, just removed rom the album. It is like a playlist in iTunes.
    2. Exporting pics and uploading to Facebook from the browser.
    I am not sure how method 1 gets compressed, but I know that uploading hi-res jpegs to Facebook using method 2 results in poor quality images.
    I wouldn't even bother comparing option 1 or 2, and they will both be poor images once you view them on Facebook, as opposed to viewing uploaded images on proper image sharing / hosting sites.
    Your problem is not with Aperture, it is using Facebook for showing your work.
    If you export pics form Aperture at high res jpegs or TIFFs your images will be fine.
    If you insist to use Facebook as your way to share your work, then your workflow should be this:
    1. Right click images you want to share.
    2. Select Export version.
    3. Export as 100% size and ensure the export settings are set at 100% quality.
    4. Upload this pic into Facebook.
    This will get you the best image size and resolution on Facebook.
    See how you go.
