Differing Volume Levels-- Can't Find Answers

I play my iPod and iTunes through my stereo at times. JVC 140 watt stereo. My volume control has a series of marks around it similar to a clock
When I play a CD or vinyl record, the volume control for adequate sound is just a few notches above the "minimum" indicator near the volume knob (barely at "7" on the clock)
When I play the same tune from my Powerbook or iPod, I must turn the volume control on my stereo close to the "8" or even more for good sound. If I turn the stereo to radio instead of my Powerbook music, the sound is so loud it almost blasts me out and I have to turn it down.
If I compare the original recording with the second generation, I can tell the second generation recording lacks the punch and power of the original. It seems to me that a duplication should be just that-- a duplicate of the original.
I am using HiJack Pro to record my tapes and records. I also have simply inserted CD's into my computer to record in iTunes with the same results.
I have not been able to find anyone who can answer this question.
My question is: is it reasonable to expect that a recorded song should have the same volume level as the original?
If so, then how do I do it?
Thanks!

Neither the iPod or PowerBook have true line-level outputs so you will find connecting either of these in place of another device which outputs a higher voltage, gives a quieter volume. However, if you have a dock for your iPod, use the socket on that for sound and you'll find you get more volume.
On my PowerBook, I have created a custom preset within the EQ which just boosts gain. Solves the problem, although can occasionally result in distortion.
As for your encoding problem, an analogue 'copy' will rarely be perfect and relies on quality of cabling, software, but most importantly, the quality of digital/analogue/digital conversion. Which compression algorithm do you use? I can't stand the sound of MP3- even 192 is clear to me. AAC is far better to my ears and Apple Lossless, great- though results in too large file sizes for my purposes.

Is it too much to ask from apple, an option for different volumes levels from different apps, including alarm, text, email, basically from every posible app?

My daughter has had her Razr for about 9 months now. About two weeks ago she picked up her phone in the morning on her way to school when she noticed two cracks, both starting at the camera lens. One goes completely to the bottom and the other goes sharply to the side. She has never dropped it and me and my husband went over it with a fine tooth comb. We looked under a magnifying glass and could no find any reason for the glass to crack. Not one ding, scratch or bang. Our daughter really takes good care of her stuff, but we still wanted to make sure before we sent it in for repairs. Well we did and we got a reply from Motorola with a picture of the cracks saying this was customer abuse and that it is not covered under warranty. Even though they did not find any physical damage to back it up. Well I e-mailed them back and told them I did a little research and found pages of people having the same problems. Well I did not hear from them until I received a notice from Fed Ex that they were sending the phone back. NOT FIXED!!! I went to look up why and guess what there is no case open any more for the phone. It has been wiped clean. I put in the RMA # it comes back not found, I put in the ID #, the SN# and all comes back not found. Yet a day earlier all the info was there. I know there is a lot more people like me and all of you, but they just don't want to be bothered so they pay to have it fix, just to have it do it again. Unless they have found the problem and only fixing it on a customer pay only set up. I am furious and will not be recommending this phone to anyone. And to think I was considering this phone for my next up grade! NOT!!!!

Different volumes levels when I record tunes on a CD?

There are different volume levels when I copy tunes from my I-Tunes library. I'm trying to make a Sinatra CD from my I-tunes library and some songs are loud, others I can hardly hear. There must be a way to overcome this problem, but I don't know what it is. Can anyone help?

Repeating a post I made on another thread:
iVolume claims to work with iTunes' Sound Check to play songs at the same volume. The iVolume FAQ says the adjustment will carry over to burned CDs & iPods, too. It will not work on Music Store downloads due to DRM.
I've read people on this forum say it works pretty well. It's US$15.

Songs play back in different volume levels

Some of my songs play back in different volume levels. How does one make the songs play back in the same volume. I know there's some setting you enable in itunes, but it's always enabled on my system. So why doesn't it work?

I know there's some setting you enable in itunes,
Do you know what this "some setting" is?
In iTunes, go to menu Edit -> Prefs - Playback.
Tick Soundcheck.
On the iPod, go to Setting Soundcheck and set to On.
Resync the iPod.
Note that Soundcheck is not foolproof and there may be some variances on the levels between songs.
You can use this application -> MP3Gain
to better analyze and adjust the levels of your songs.

Different volume levels on songs

Hi
Just a question on volume levels. My songs all seem to have different volume levels. How do get to play the songs at the same volume level?
Thanks

You could also right-click your song file or files that need to be louder, and then click on Get Info (right-click menu) then in that window click on the Options Tab, and there is a volume adjusting slider.
Its what I use to raise the volume on my videos.
Hope I helped.

HP 4120 Lync Phone Edition - Ringer Volume Level Can Not be controlled when a second call comes in for a workflow

Here is the scenario we are experiencing with our HP 4120 Lync phones running the latest available firmware (4.0.7577.4455)
1) A User has an HP 4120 phone and is a member of a workflow/response group which is setup with attendant routing method.
2) The ringer volume is set to the minimum level by the user
3) When a single call comes in to this user, the ringer volume level works as expected
4) When two calls come in at the same time to this users phone, the ringer volume set by the user is ignored and the ringer plays at Maximum volume.
This is causing disruptions to our office environment as we are unable to reliably control the volume levels of the ringers.
There does not appear to be anything more in the settings/menus of the phones themselves. I am thinking this may be an issue with the firmware, but if anyone else has any suggestions, they would be appreciated.
Thanks!!

Hi,
Did the issue also happen before update to the latest firmware?
Did the issue only happen for Response Group call or also happen for basic calls?
If the issue only happen after updating to the latest firmware, it can be the issue of the firmware.
As there is call delay for Lync IP Phone to be a agent of the Response Group. So you can try to use Lync desktop to instead for better performance.

I just downloaded the Firefox 4 version and it doesn't seem any different. I can't find the place that tells me what version of Firefox I now have. The start page still has the download the Firefox 4 now on it. I have Vista OS. Thanks,

I watched the video on Firefox 4, then restarted computer to let the changes taking effect as the update stated. When the computer started again there was no changes and I can't find it in the downloads or file changes as to what edition of firefox I know have.

Do you have an orange Firefox button in the upper left, or do you have the customary menu bar (File, Edit, View, etc.)?
Either way, you can check your current Firefox version using Help > About Firefox.
To switch from having a menu bar to having the orange button, right-click in a blank area after Help and uncheck Menu Bar. Then, to display the menu bar temporarily, you can tap the Alt key or press the F10 key.
Regarding the start page, there must be something just a little bit custom about the address. Otherwise, you would have been changed to '''about:home''' which is the new start page.

Blank Screen- Can't find answer to fix it.

I went to listen to my ipod the other day and when it started up, it had a blank screen. I tried to restart it, but when it came back up for the second time, now the screen is two toned. One half is white, the other grey. Plus the Apple logo no longer appears. I've tried plugging it into my computer, the computer reads the ipod. I've tried retoring the defaults, the screen is still blank. I can't find anything on the Apple.com site. Has anyone had this happen and how do I fix it?

Try and force the iPhone into Recovery Mode
1. Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
3.While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears, release the Home button. iTunes should alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then click Restore to restore the device.
Note: Data will be lost. You may have to repeat the above many times.

Playlist songs are at different volume levels

I have created a playlist of songs from a particular group
however when I play the list or burn a CD of the playlist the
volume levels go up and down. How do I get them to play and
burn a CD closer to the same volume level?

Have you tried soundcheck? There is a sound check tick box in Edit>>Preferences>>playback.
When you select a playlist for burning the is also a sound check tick box on the burn preferences popup.
I haven't used either myself.

Potential buyer – 8 questions I can't find answers for in the reviews

Folks,
I’m seriously considering getting an iPhone in the next few days and after doing my homework I have a few questions I didn’t quite find the answers in the reviews I’ve read/watched. Could anyone comment on them? Some may sound silly
1- VNC – Has anyone used the version from NateTrue over EDGE? Is that usable? I basically want to use it to access a remote library reference app running on a PC (link: http://cre.ations.net/creation/webvnc---remote-desktop--vnc-on-your-iphone)
2 - PDF viewing – Can you view PDFs that are stored on websites or just attached to emails? Also, if the PDF has only the image of scanned text, can you still pan/zoom in?
3 - PDF #2 – Can you search within the PDF doc you’re viewing?
4 - Alarm - How loud is the sound of the alarm? Any former Treo users (650) who can compare the two?
5 - MP3s - If you tap on a link to an mp3 file in the browser, will it play?
6- Podcasts – Does Safari play podcasts using any of those web-based players you see in site wuch as twit, applephoneshow, etc?
7 - Contacts – I use the Palm Desktop + Treo and have my contacts in there. I don’t use outlook or other apps. Can I just export my contacts in .csv format and get them into the iPhone? Any suggestions? How about exporting/importing calendar events?
+
8 - Bonus question 3rd party apps – long shot, since the SDK is not out yet – Does anyone know about 3rd party apps DATA? I am really hoping that iSilo will release an iPhone version of its reader since I am a heavy user of a research library I use for my congregation activities (a modern translation of the Bible + lots of other publications) and I wonder how/if that’s going to work.
Many thanks in advance for your comments.
Regards,
Ismenio
PS: If anyone has traveled to Brazil with their iPhone (especially in the Northeast), could you comment on the experience? EDGE availability, call quality, etc? You can contact me direct on this one

*1- VNC – Has anyone used the version from NateTrue over EDGE? Is that usable? I basically want to use it to access a remote library reference app running on a PC*
I doubt that it will work very well.
*2 - PDF viewing – Can you view PDFs that are stored on websites or just attached to emails? Also, if the PDF has only the image of scanned text, can you still pan/zoom in?*
I don't see why not
*3 - PDF #2 – Can you search within the PDF doc you’re viewing?*
No. The iPhone does not offer search
*- MP3s - If you tap on a link to an mp3 file in the browser, will it play?*
No
*6- Podcasts – Does Safari play podcasts using any of those web-based players you see in site wuch as twit, applephoneshow, etc?*
No, all of these would rely on quicktime, which doesn't really work. The iPhone doesn't support streaming audio very well.
*7 - Contacts – I use the Palm Desktop + Treo and have my contacts in there. I don’t use outlook or other apps. Can I just export my contacts in .csv format and get them into the iPhone? Any suggestions? How about exporting/importing calendar events?*
No you cannot
*8 - Bonus question 3rd party apps – long shot, since the SDK is not out yet – Does anyone know about 3rd party apps DATA? I am really hoping that iSilo will release an iPhone version of its reader since I am a heavy user of a research library I use for my congregation activities (a modern translation of the Bible + lots of other publications) and I wonder how/if that’s going to work.*
Sorry, we cannot answer any questions about the SDK because no details have been made public as of yet.

Can't find answer to Query Of Queries runtime error

Not only I browsed this forum but also googled this problem but unfortunnately I have no luck in finding the answer.
All I did was writing this simple query:
<cfquery name="test" dbtype="query">
select SSN,BirthDate from myquery where SSN <> '' OR BirthDate <> ''
</cfquery>
and I got this error:
Query Of Queries runtime error.
Comparison exception while executing <>.
Unsupported Type Comparison Exception: The <> operator does not support comparison between the following types:
Left hand side expression type = "DOUBLE".
Right hand side expression type = "STRING".
I tried the following and did not work either, still got the same error.
<cfquery name="test" dbtype="query">
select SSN,BirthDate from myquery
where SSN <> <cfqueryparam cfsqltype="CF_SQL_VARCHAR" value=""/>
OR BirthDate <> <cfqueryparam cfsqltype="CF_SQL_VARCHAR" value=""/></cfquery>
Has someone ever encountered the same problem and know how to solve it?

HELP ! ! ! Going into testing soon. I need this to work to get correct report results ! ! ! !
My issue seems similar to the one under discussion and the reply from lawhite01 caught my eye. Can you roll my issue into this discussion?
This is a 2 parter. The second part is the QoQ part, but the 1st part has a line in the query that is similar to the QoQ one and it uses the same data. Part 1 also throws an error.
PART # 1.
I'm trying to use a query table created through QueryNew and then query it.
I need multiple columns in the query table I create:
<cfscript>
        tot_AllCurrentDraftListing = QueryNew("AnnounceNum, JP_PDLoc, JP_JS_Title, JP_JS, JP_KW_1, JP_JobTitle, JP_Open, JP_Close, JP_CloseType, JP_CloseName, JP_PosNeed, JP_DirectHire, JP_Desc, JP_Draft, JP_Archived, JP_State, JP_AreaName, JP_AreaID, JP_AreaAlias, JP_Fac_SU, JP_Fac_Facility, JP_FAC_ID, JP_Grade1, JP_sal_low1, JP_sal_high1, JP_Grade2, JP_sal_low2, JP_sal_high2, JP_Grade3, JP_sal_low3, JP_sal_high3, JP_Grade4, JP_sal_low4, JP_sal_high4, JP_Grade5, JP_sal_low5, JP_sal_high5, JP_Posted, JP_TypeHire, JP_HRemail");
    </cfscript>
Then I populate all the cells of the query table.
Then I set up to use the created query table.
I do this first:
    <cfquery name="qAltPostID" datasource="#at_datasource#">
         SELECT AltPoster, fk_Job_AnnounceNum
         from JOB_JPContacts
         Where AltJPContactType = 'AltPosterID'
         and AltPoster = '#session.IHSUID#'
         </cfquery>
Then, in my first query using the created query, I expect to need to choose from multiple values, so I'm using this line in the query (this is NOT a QoQ query):
          and AnnounceNum IN (<cfqueryparam cfsqltype="CF_SQL_varchar" value="#ValueList(qAltPostID.fk_Job_AnnounceNum)#">)
I've also tried:
               and AnnounceNum IN (#ValueList(qAltPostID.fk_Job_AnnounceNum)#)
and:
             and JOB_AnnounceNum IN
                SELECT fk_Job_AnnounceNum
                from JOB_JPContacts
                Where AltJPContactType = 'AltPosterID'
                and AltPoster = '#session.IHSUID#'
ERROR is: one record should return. I get 0.
PART # 2: Here's the QoQ part.
I get the error:
Query Of Queries runtime error.
Comparison exception while executing IN.
Unsupported Type Comparison Exception: The IN operator does not support comparison between the following types:
Left hand side expression type = "LONG".
Right hand side expression type = "STRING".
A tutorial I found gave an example using only one column for this part of the fix:
     tot_AllCurrentDraftListing = QueryNew("AnnounceNum", "CF_SQL_VARCHAR")
How would I set up the query with the datatype when I'm using multiple columns:
<cfscript>
        tot_AllCurrentDraftListing = QueryNew("AnnounceNum, JP_PDLoc, JP_JS_Title, JP_JS, JP_KW_1, JP_JobTitle, JP_Open, JP_Close, JP_CloseType, JP_CloseName, JP_PosNeed, JP_DirectHire, JP_Desc, JP_Draft, JP_Archived, JP_State, JP_AreaName, JP_AreaID, JP_AreaAlias, JP_Fac_SU, JP_Fac_Facility, JP_FAC_ID, JP_Grade1, JP_sal_low1, JP_sal_high1, JP_Grade2, JP_sal_low2, JP_sal_high2, JP_Grade3, JP_sal_low3, JP_sal_high3, JP_Grade4, JP_sal_low4, JP_sal_high4, JP_Grade5, JP_sal_low5, JP_sal_high5, JP_Posted, JP_TypeHire, JP_HRemail");
    </cfscript>
I used this code after all the cells contained values and before running my QoQ query:
        <cfloop index="intID" from="1" to="#tot_AllCurrentDraftListing.recordcount#" step="1">
            <cfset tot_AllCurrentDraftListing["AnnounceNum"] [intID] = JavaCast("string", intID) />
        </cfloop>
          Is that correct?
Thanks.
Whoever can help me with this should be awarded extra points ! ! ! !
