"Disable" Sound Check

There has been much discussion about the pros and cons of Sound Check, and some excellent details are provided about how it works and how difficult a process it is to standardize volume. Generally, I'm happy with the feature with one exception: live concerts, especially with songs that segue, like a Dead or Zappa concert. If I want to listen to the contiguous show, sometimes there are significant swings in volume between tracks. Yes, joining tracks is one option, but that creates very long "songs." I could also go track by track and manually set each song's volume to some standard, but my ear ain't that good. So my questions:
(1) After tracks have been imported and Sound Checked, is there a way to reset a certain group of songs to the original, non-varying, un-Sound Checked volume level?
(2) If not, can I re-import the concerts and somehow maintain the consistent volume level for the tracks that make up each show? Would I have to turn off Sound Check in perpetuity to do this?
Thanks for any suggestions

Sound Check works well on an iPod when listening through the headphones. Works on all iPods, as far as I know.
Some iPods have their 'Line Out' audio (Dock Connector) affected by Sound Check, others do not.
If may be iPod 'Generational' differences &/or Firmware differences - I do not know. The only way to determine if the Sound Check feature works via the Dock is to perform some simple tests (if you have the appropriate connections).
I determined that my 2Gen iPod mini with Firmware v1.3 does not pass Sound Checked audio via the Dock. Makes it more work to manually adjust the volume in my car (via a Direct Interface) or my home speakers.

  • Sound Check doesn't seem to work for ipods?

    I'm having trouble with the volume of songs on my various ipods (ipod version 2, newest touch, and my iphone 5c). While the sound check works in itunes, I have to constantly adjust the volume for the songs on my ipods. Is there a way to get around this or to fix it without having to spend a ton of money? I would just like it so that I don't have to keep adjusting for every song.

    Hi,
    You can try to enable the setting via '''Tools''' ('''Alt''' + '''T''') > '''Options''' > '''Advanced''' > '''General''' > '''Check my spelling as I type'''. You can also set the preference for individual sites by enabling/disabling '''Check Spelling''' option on the right-click menu of a typing text box like this. If additional dictionaries are installed, you may also have to choose the correct dictionary from the right-click menu > '''Languages'''.

  • Sound check and normalization

    when i play mp3 with winamp (sorry guys, but my most favourite player) or edit the tag infos, i can see the normalization infos of itunes (itunnorm 78978977879) and not my infos!!!!!!!!!
    i tried 2 disable this funktion in itunes, but on every restart itunes begins 2 analyse all tracks again....
    how can i turn off the sound check funktion?

    First, I would consider leaving it on, and to stop using Winamp. Winamp shouldn't display this info, and if it is, then it's Winamp's bug. You might be able to stop Winamp doing this by using iTunes to Convert the ID3 tags on your MP3's to v2.3 tags. Right click the track in iTunes and tell it to convert the ID3 tag. If that works, you can do it on the whole library at once (CTRL-A to select all, then same thing).
    But, you can disable SoundCheck entirely by turning off Sound Check in the Preferences screen AND by turning off the "Use Sound Check" on the burning preferences tab as well. Both of them must be turned off or it will scan your files for volume level information.

  • Sound check is not working properly??

    Recently when i was using my device for the music, i've somehow realised that there's something wrong with the volume of the music.  when i click the next song with my device, the volume suddenly rised up.  But then when i clicked the next song and then got back to it by clicking previous song, there's not the problem.  Then i tried about the sound check.  When the song rised up, i turned the sound check to off and on again and the problem is solved, at leadt for the time.  But then when i click the next song again, the situation happened again.  I tried nearly everything to solve the problem, including restarting the device, closing the music app after double clicking the home button and putting the music again into my device with itunes after deleting them, but without any use.  The situation happenes with serveral albums of mine (about five to six) and the others are without the problem.  Anyone is gaving the same problem as me?  Is that a bug or something?  I'm using an iphone 4s of version 5.1.1 .  Could someone please help!

    I have this problem too and it drives me insane. I can listen to a few tracks and then the volume increases significantly. If I forward to the next track and go back to the track with the issue, the volume is okay.

  • Preventing disabling of check box - item okay in MIGO

    Dear all,
    In the MIGO transaction - during goods receipt for subcontractor material, when the item (incoming) is checked as item okay - automatically the child material (Material sent to subcontractor) is also activated thereby to enable 543 movement.
    Unfortunately some of the users are disabling the check box (for the material sent to the subcontractor). This prevents depletion of stock from the subcontractor but inflates the stock of the incoming material.
    Is there any way - either by authorisation check to prevent users disabling the check box or other methods?
    Experts suggestion is required in this regard.
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards,
    M.M

  • Disable sound and/or vibration while in Messages app?!

    Hi!
    I would like to know is there some option in the iOS where I could disable sounds and vibration while I'm using Messages app (app is open and the display is turned ON and I can see the message I recieved). This is very annoying when I'm using iMessages and getting a message every few seconds and then my phone vibrates constantly. It is of course OK if I'm not in Messages app but when I'm already using it I don't need a notification I got a message when I can see it for myself.

    I'm having the exact same problem. I get a random text message ding for no discernible reason at least oncer per day. No alerts from apps, no email, no texts, no missed calls, no voicemails. It's not changing connection types between wifi, 3G, and edge. I know that the first gen iPhones sometimes dinged in that situation. If anyone knows what's causing this I would love to hear it.
    Just to be clear I'm using a perfectly normal, not jailbroken, iPhone 4 running the latest software version.

  • Sound Check in iTunes 10.6 is different versus Sound Check in iTunes 8.2

    Hi. My OS is Windows 7 Pro-64.
    I have lots of CD and I decided to convert them  in an mp3 library imported in iTunes (and “manually” in an iPod Classic) with Sound Check on (either in iTunes, or in iPod). I managed it with Windows XP and  iTunes 8.2 till last year. I always verified the Volume adjustment of each mp3 and the correlated hex values written in the field iTunNorm (using mp3Tag). So far I was quite satisfied of Sound Check because I use iPod like a “juke-box” (I don’t need a per album normalization).
    Last year I updated to Windows 7_64 and to iTunes 10.6 and I went on importing other mp3 files (from my CDs). But, with some test, (I imported the same file using iTunes 8 on a PC and using  iTunes 10 on  a different PC) I realized (with a very high probability) that:
    iTunes 10 apparently don't write iTunNorm tag anymore in the file mp3. I have a Volume adjustment, but with mp3Tag I can’t read any iTunNorm field with the famous ten hex values.
    iTunes 10 and iTunes 8 use a different way to calculate Sound Check; Volume adjustments calculated with iTunes 10 are lower of about 0,75-1,25 dB in average against iTunes 8. But sometimes  the difference may be very high (-3,5 dB or -5dB for example in iTunes 10 versus iTunes 8).
    When I updated to iTunes 10, my old library has been converted into the new format iTunes 10, but the old Sound Check (calculated with iTunes 8) did not change (no new calculation). So when I add new files to the library with iTunes 10, I have a discontinuity with the old files imported from iTunes 8 as far as Sound Check is concerned: the new files sound lower in average than the old ones.
    I don’t want to delete and re-import all my files in order to reset and homogenize the whole library (I’d lose all statistics and I’d waste lot of time to pass the file in iPod). And I don’t want using third part software like iVolume.
    My questions:
    Is it correct what I wrote at the point 1, 2, 3 stated over here and mainly at the point 2 (Different way to calculate Volume adjustments of iTunes 10 versus iTune 8)?
    Did iTunes 10 stop to use iTunNorm field to write Check Sound info in mp3 files?
    If not, where iTunes 10 write Sound Check info  to the mp3 file and how can I read it?
    What can I do to avoid the discontinuity in Sound Check values due to the use of iTunes 8 and iTunes 10?
      Thanks in advance for your answers.

    Assuming that one has the 'Sound Check' feature
    selected in both iTunes and on the iPod, do the
    volume changes take place when obtaining the audio
    via the 'line-out' port on the dock connector?
    For the 3G and earlier iPod's, no, Line Out is not affected by Sound Check.
    For the 4G and later iPod's, yes, Line Out is affected by Sound Check.
    Do some iPods work and others do not? Specifically,
    will my iPod mini (2nd Gen) send the adjusted volume
    through the dock connector?
    I have only actually tested the 3G and 4G models, I cannot say what other models do with any kind of reliability. I would expect that the Mini's would have the Line Out to be soundchecked, but I cannot say that for certain.
    Any way of using another method to bring the song
    volumes into a more reasonable range?
    MP3Gain and AACGain. These modify the MP3/AAC files directly, so after using them, turn off Sound Check everywhere.

  • Disabling the Check for Update feature in 10.1.3

    Hi,
    I work at a government facility that has tight security restrictions regarding downloading software. We are about to prepare a software delivery package for JDeveloper 10.1.3 that will let our IT department install JDeveloper on all of our developer workstations. One thing we would like to do as part of this deployment package is to disable the Check for Updates and PlugIn feature of JDeveloper. Is there a setting in a configuration file that controls this menu item?
    Thanks,
    Richard

    Hi,
    Is the requirement to disable the check for updates feature altogether (i.e. remove the menu item), or to just disable the automatic check that happens on startup?
    There isn't currently a documented way to totally disable the feature altogether, however it's possible to add such a feature in a future service update if necessary.
    There is a potential way in which you can modify the behavior of the wizard such that it will always find no updates (the menu item will still be present, however). If this is an acceptable solution to you, let me know and I'll fill you in on the details.
    Thanks,

  • Using Javascript to disable a check box

    Friends,
    I am stuck on what should be a simple requirement and I am hoping you can help.
    I need to disable a form region checkbox if a field on the same form region has anything entered.
    What I have done so far is:
    1) On the item that determines whether the check box should be disabled I have added a call to my Javascript function "onChange="disableDefaultDisplay();" in the "HTML Form Element Attributes"
    2) My javascript funcion is: (this is the basic version, all I am trying to do is disable the check box at this point)
    function disableDefaultDisplay()
    alert("Start of the function");
    var defaultDisplay = document.getElementById("P13_DEFAULT_DISPLAY");
    *defaultDisplay.enabled = false;*
    alert("End of the function");
    Using a combination of firebug and the alert messages I can see that function is called at the correct time (i.e. when the user changes and then leaves the field) and that the values of the variable, defaultDate are set but my attempts to disable the checkbox have yet to work!
    When I look at the type of the checkbox (through the source of the page or firebug) I see the checkbox has the following "fieldset#P13_DEFAULT_DISPLAY.checkbox_group" Do I need to do anything different to disable this type of object?
    Any help would be very much appreciated!

    Hi Andy,
    I was returning to this thread to update it with how I resolved it, so thanks for the detailed response.
    In a nutshell, the solution I used was a loop through the field set(of which there is only one item in it) and disabling it.
    Where you say:
    Secondly, checkboxes are, as you have seen, wrapped within a fieldset tag. The fieldset tag has an ID of the page item name. Each checkbox within that tag has its own ID value, which will be the fieldset ID plus "_n" (where n is a sequential number starting from 0) - thus, the first checkbox will be, for example, "P1_CHECKBOX_0", the second will be "P1_CHECKBOX_1" and so on.From my searching for a solution I had expected to see something like that. But the source for the item I was trying to disable is shown below and I can't see any numbers after it.
    Do you know why? Is it because it is the only item?
    &lt;fieldset id="P13_DEFAULT_DISPLAY" class="checkbox_group"&gt;
    &lt;input type="checkbox" name="p_v18" value="Y" id="P13_DEFAULT_DISPLAY" /&gt;&lt;/fieldset&gt;
    Regards

  • Sound Check doesn't work for some podcasts?

    Apologies for cross-posting, but this didn't get any replies in the Using iTunes section.
    Podcasts that I subscribe to are recorded at quite different levels. This is pretty annoying when my morning playlist goes from a really quiet one to a really loud one.
    It seemed that Sound Check would be the perfect solution, but not so: while Sound Check has set Volume levels for all the music tracks I checked, and many podcasts, there are quite a few podcasts that Get Info / Summary reports the Volume as "Not available." This doesn't seem to be just a display glitch: when I turn Sound Check on and off, the volume doesn't change on these tracks. As Murphy would predict, the ones that need the most adjustment don't get any
    I haven't been able to work out what is different between the tracks that do and don't have Sound Check volumes. Two example podcasts that do get Sound Check volumes are Slacker Astronomy (most recent episodes) and StarDate; two that don't are Classical Music Spotlight and Writer's Almanac.
    I tried converting one episode to AAC. As expected, the AAC file gets a Sound Check volume. But it's in the iTunes library Music group, not in the podcast.
    Is there any way to get Sound Check to process these other podcast episodes?
    iBook G4, iMac G5   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    Sound check is basically useless. Hasn't worked effectively on any model I've purchased. However, as others have pointed out, you can adjust the volume of a song so that your playlists don't cause public embarrassment. Simply do a control "i" on a particular song. In the "info" tab, you can increase or decrease the volume of a particular tune. However, if you make the adjustment, be sure to adjust all of the tune from that album. Otherwise, when you play the album, the song you tweaked will have a different volume from the rest of tunes on the album. It ain't a great fix... but it's better than what the programmers have done with sound check.

  • Disable individual check boxes in ALV

    Hi all,
    My requirement is that I have one check box against each row. User clicks on the check box then that row is selected and on clicking the push button, bapi is called.
    If result of bapi is success, I want to disable the check box for that particular row/rows. Can you please tell me how I can achieve that? I know how to disbale all the check boxes in the list but I dont know how to disable the individual check boxes.
    Thanks and regards,
    Ridhima

    For that you need to play with the EDITABLE feature of the ALV at the field level.
    Declare a field STYLE type LVC_T_STYL as a part of your internal table. Now, for each row, append the fields of that row to the STYLE column specifying whether it has to be editable or not. You can use the attributes cl_gui_alv_grid=>mc_style_enabled and cl_gui_alv_grid=>mc_style_disabled for this.
