E7 - "Metallic" sound and low speaker volume. Anyo...

I have now been using my E7 for a few days and I love it, but there is one thing that strikes me. Compared to my N8, where I have crystal clear sound in the speaker, my E7 has low volume and a "metallic" tinge to the sound. I just now made a Skype call and it was the same there. Has anyone else noticed this?

Seems to be a hardware issue. Replacement phone is inbound.

Low Speaker Volume

My Blackberry 8820 started having a really low speaker volume today. I have the volume bar cranked all the way up, and I can barely hear the person on the other end. I've had it for a few weeks and the volume has been fine before today, so I have no idea why it's started doing this. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Kato,
Sorry to hear about the low volume, that can be frustrating! I would start by removing the battery, reinserting and powering back on. See if your profile volume is set to high by selecting Profiles -> Advanced-> (active profile)-> phone ->Volume (set to high) ...if all else fails a master reset (Options, Security Options, General Settings, (press menu key) select wipe handheld will be last resort ( Dont forget to BACKUP!)
If these options don't resolve, I would recommend calling your service provider for replacement options....
Good luck!

Headphone and Internal Speaker Volume Levels

I saw a topic about this earlier, but it has become locked, so I thought I would post another to see if anyone has any information about it. Until recently, I have been able to set my headphone volume and internal speaker volume at different levels. In other words, I can set the speakers to a certain volume, plug in my headphones, set the headphones to a different volume, then unplug the headphones and the volume changes back to what it was before I plugged in the headphones. I don't know exactly when it started happening, but I can no longer set these at two separate levels. I have seen that other people are having this problem, so I know it isn't just something stupid that i am doing. Anyone know why this is happening, or what I can do about it? Any help would be much appreciated.

Assuming that you're not listening to songs that have been imported at very low level, the next thing to do is a full Restore. A Restore will remove everything form your iPod, reset it and then put back onto the iPod only what is in your iTunes library. So if you have items that are not in your library (and therfore on the computer) you need to sort that out first.
I believe it will also reset your user data in any Apps you use. There is a backup method for this, but I'm not sure how it works as I've never tried it.
If that doesn't work, there must be a hardware issue, which means booking it in for service.

IPad mini retina low speaker volume

I've just bought my iPad mini retina and I have noticed that the speaker volume is very low. I know the speakers are small as of the size of the device but even my iphone 5s with one speaker is louder and was not sure if this was normal or my device not working correctly? I've got until 11th of jan to take back for exchange and would rather get it sorted before that if it is the device causing this issue

Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
Check your settings. The iPads have a small switch on the right edge. It can be used as a rotation lock to keep the screen from automatically reorienting itself as you move around, but you need to have the tablet’s settings configured properly. That same switch, right above the volume buttons, can also be set to function instead as a mute button to silence certain types of audio.
If the switch is set to work as a mute button, you can change its purpose to “screen-rotation lock” by tapping the Settings icon on the home screen. On the Settings screen, tap General on the left side, and on the right side of the screen flick down to “Use Side Switch to.” Tap to select Lock Rotation or Mute to set the button’s function. Even if you set the side switch for your preferred use, you can still mute the Mini or lock the screen. Just double-click the Home button, and when the panel of apps appears along the bottom edge of the screen, flick the row from left to right with your finger. Tap the icon on the far left side of the row to either lock the iPad’s screen or mute the iPad’s alerts, notifications and sound effects. Music, podcasts and video are not muted unless you turn the volume all the way down.

Imac 21" I keep getting ggh'l and the speaker volume screen keeps popping up. Any ideas of what is causing this and how to fix it?

I recently converted from the PC world to Apple and got an IMAC 21". I keep getting the speaker volume screen popping up periodically and also types in ggh'l into whatever application I have open. I have the lastest software and have McAfee antivirus installed. This is a recent problem in the last few days so I'm not sure what is causing it. Any ideas/suggestions?

etresoft a long time contributer to Apple Support Communities wrote a very useful app he called etrecheck which helps in diagnosing many problems caused by third party installs etc.. Go to his website, read his information and from there download and run the program according to his instructions

Fireware update also fiixes low speaker volume

This was mentioned in another thread, but wanted to confirm that at least for me the fireware update vastly increased the macbook speaker volume and seems to have solved that problem (and also my macbook is now running 20C cooler)

Strange, i too can comment that my speakers are apparently louder than before. i had not noticed till i read your posts. i run real player every Friday night to catch a local radio show, it is defiantly louder than before.
Thanks

Yoga 2: Low speaker volume

Hi, I just bought a Yoga 2 (SKU:59418499) and the sound volume I am getting is really low.
Even on full volume, it's only ok in a completely quiet room. I'm comparing with my old dell N5110 and the difference is quite noticable. I wonder if that is the norm, or maybe I have a defective unit?
It syas it has Conexant SmartAudio HD speakers and under sound controllers, I have listed both:
- Conexant SmartAudio HD
- Intel(R) Display Audio
Does anyone else has problems with the loudness of this thing?

Hello!
I don't know if your issue has resolved itself yet, but I wanted to check back in and let you know that they have released a new driver for our devices.
Go here to get the new driver: http://support.lenovo.com/my/ms/products/laptops-and-netbooks/yoga-series/yoga-2-11-notebook-lenovo

Can you imagine, I was trying to listen from the back of the E90. I had a 9200 and that was from where I used to listen. On the E90 is from the front of it...
Thanks for your help anyway.

Lower speaker volume than usual

Recently i noticed my macbook's speakers have a lower volume than before. When i use my earphones, there doesn't seem to be any difference compared to the past. So i think it should be a problem with the speakers. Is there anyway i can test the speakers to see if they are indeed faulty?

Oh great!! Well if that is the case then thanks Apple for allowing the European Union to treat us even more like children and not let us think for ourselves that if the the volume was too loud we could just maybe turn it down??
Now I can't enjoy my ipod, it just doesn't sound the same, much flater sound especially on all Equalizer settings, only goes louder if EQ is flat or turned off.
Thanks a bunch!!!

Possible to change the front and back speaker volume ?

Hello, as it says in the topic, i was wondering if it is possible to change the volume of the front and the back speakers (the same way it is possible to change the volume of the center speaker).
If anyone could tell me wether this is possible at all i would largely appreciate.
Specs:
Creative Inspire T5900 speaker system
Creative SoundBlaster Live! 5.1 Digital
Windows XP

The older Mac Pros had a separate board for the front panel connectors. Looking at pictures of the 2009 Mac Pro back-plane board I can't see any soldered on connectors. Based on the link below for an older Mac Pro it looks like it could be as easy as making a cable to replace the front panel board USB cable with one that could connect to a USB PCIe card (when they are available for Macs).
http://ep.yimg.com/ca/I/lovemacs2113427757506
Edit: Assuming that there is no additional circuitry on the front panel board that has to be USB3 compliant.
Edit (again): I missed the fact that USB3 uses a different connector so you would have to replace the entire board with one that has USB3 connectors on it. It is unlikely Apple or even a third party would make one.

Bad sound and low subwoofer output on Audigy 2 zs with 5.1 5

Hi,
I am getting very very low subwoofer output on my Audigy2 ZS with 5. 5200.
To test furthter, i did the follownig
play mp3,
2 output is from front speakers
3 very very low subwoofer output
4 to confirm, removed green (front) black (read) cabled from sound card and can confirm a very very low subwoofer output
earlier with Li've! 5. every thing was working great.
what could be wrong?
i think Audigy 2 zs is a bad card and is a marketting hype.
is it that we need a different kind of cable to connect Audigy2 zs with 5. 5200? ( i am using the cable which came with my 5200 ofcourse)Message Edited by kotecha on 2-3-2004 07:23 PM

Hi Jeremy,
Thanks for the response.
I have tried all the thx console setup and bass levels.
Its not affecting the subwoofer output very much.
<Infact the subwoofer output is so low that i have to go and put my ears on the subwoofer to see if its producing sound.
Remember that with Li've! 5. (SB0220) which also i have with me is giving all the great results. so the problem is not with speakers but with the sound card and i want my costly card (zs) to work.
(i still believe the 5. 5200 3 pole cables (green, black, yellow) which we attached to the sound card and speakers are not compatible with Audigy2 zs as zs needs 4 pole cables - but i have not verified this still as it will be a long time consuming exercise - purchasing 4 pole pins and soldering here and there on cables and poles and testing testing)
Also, why the bass boost controls (level and cutoff frequency) in bass boost are disabled? how to bring them to enabled state?
Also, in thx console setup (calibration page) , its not SAVING the changes which i make to Distance, Level and Angle. Why is that so?
To help you further in understand my problem please note that i HAVE updated all the software to its latest versions by doing the software AutoUpdate from creative support site.
So i am having atleast 3 issues now
<. VERY VERY low subwoofer output while playing mp3 on audigy2zs with 5. 5200(this is my major concern)
<2. Bass boost controls are disabled (how to enable these controls?)
<3. its not saving the changes i make to thx setup console calibration page for Distance, Level and Angle.
<
As regards many ppl complaing of low subwoofer output on Audigy (2 zs and related), read the COMPLETE thread below (one of the largest threads on just low subwoofer output - around 360 replies to that post so far - but still no solution. just loyal customers feeling down of creative).

http://de.europe.creative.com/support/forums/thread.asp?thre=396&foru=5&page=


though the issue in that link is with audigy (2zs) and 5. digital, if you go through that whole thread, you will realise what we go through. THE SUBWOOFER OUTPUT IS A BAD PROBLEM WE ALL ARE FACING WITH AUDIGY AND RELATED.
I think i am hopeful of a solution as i was always an admirer of creative sound cards (the reason i purchased this costly audigy2 zs). but looking at the issues i am facing, it makes me feel it was a bad bad decision to purchase this costly card.

Please help with my issues.

Bounce from Ultrabeat and Lower Audio Volume

Hi,
I have noticed that when I create an Ultrabeat pattern, drag it into the arrange window, and bounce to audio that my volume level is MUCH lower when IMPORT the bounced file back into an audio track......why?.....how do I solve?
My Ultrabeat pattern is pumping out good levels on the fader .......the audio file ...on import has almost no level .....when I overdrive the Ultrabeat pattern I get good audio levels but they are distorted...hmmmmm
Any suggestions would be appreciated!
MacPro
Apogee Ensemble
Mackie Big Knob
NHT Pro Monitors
MacPro Mac OS X (10.4.9) 2 GB Ram

what is the level of the master fader or (i assume) outputs 1-2?
When you play Ultrabeat is the level good at outputs 1-2?

Anyone else have low speaker volume?

I bought two black 2ghz MacBooks and 1 MacBook Pro 2ghz.
Anyone else have trouble with low volume? We can barely hear each other on iChat. We're ll putting out heads right down over the keyboard. I've lowned Mac for 11 yrs. These speakers are beyond bad.

I have a Macbook pro and when I originally purchased and used Airport Extreme volume was very good. Noticed the other day that volume is very low. So some where during a OS update / Itunes update or some type of software update it's impacted by volume. Hopefully Apple will have a fix soon.
