Fixing Sound Issues

Well, I've had my iPod 5G for about a year, and just recently the sound in my right headphone stopped working.
But it's not the headphones -- any headphones I plug in, the right speaker doesn't work.
So, I figured out that with the iPod, in order to get any sound out of the right speaker, I have to either push or pull on the plug of the headphones.
I obviously can't do this while I listen to music.
I don't have a warranty, so I was wondering if there is some way I could fix this?
Some way I could open my iPod up and maybe reposition the input or replace it with another or... something.
Anyone have any advice?
Thanks =]

You can buy a replacement ipod headphone jack from a number of online places. Many of them will even do the change for you (for a price of course) and turn the iPod around in a day back to you.
Try an Internet search for "ipod repair" and you will find many places, most of which can fix or sell parts for bad headphone jacks.

Fix sound issues?

I recently purchased the iPhone 4. The sounds were all working perfectly fine last night and earlier today. But,now, all of the sounds (ringtones,music,new texts,etc.) only work when earphones are plugged into the phone. None of my settings haven been changed; i made sure nothing was on silent and that the volume
Is on maximum. Please help! Thank you.

I had the same issue yesterday. When I was typing in my passcode there was no sound and no unlock sound (but there would be a lock sound when I pressed the sleep/wake button. The temporary fix for me was to power cycle the phone.

Fixed sound issues under wine, but would like to know how

I managed to get sound working under wine. I have no idea how, but I did. Ill explain and see if anyone can make sense of it.
So I initially set up kmix to where my primary device was my soundblaster card. I would continuously get errors like "creative blah did not work, switching to 'HD audio generic'.
I would not get system notification sounds but things like youtube and movies would. I had no luck with wine. I then started experimenting with the preferred devices and set the generic one to primary. The sound would work, but my problem was reversed. I would get notification sounds but no youtube or media audio. I then tried moving "default" up to preferred, only to get the same result. Neither gave me any sound in games under wine --not to mention the horrible system hangups when using "HD audio generic" and "default"
So I decided I prefer media audio over notification audio and went back to my original configuration. The result was that I still got system notifications but no media audio. At this point, I became very confused and started experimenting with changing the sound profiles. Any sort of chage at all would create a "dummy device" as playback out of my creative card. About 15 reboots later and luck? maybe, I got it to at least give me notification audio. I was stumped. I also noticed that the hangups were returning.
After exhausting all the options, I was like "oh well better move the HD audio Generic back up" and see what happens. Reboot. Somehow, I got media audio AND wine sound worked as well as the system hangups stopping.
I have no idea. Anyone have a clue?
Im glad its working, but im not going actually going to learn anything unless i figure out what happened.
Thanks in advance.

Update: Ive found at least a modicum of consistency here. If I try to change anything in the preferences at all once I get wine audio working, it will stop working.
Thus far, here are my options..I can have
System Notification audio working and nothing else
System notification audio and media audio working, but no wine
Media Audio and Wine Audio working, but no system notification audio
But not all three
If I change one preference, wine audio on its own will stop working, or wine audio AND media audio will quit working.
If I change it back to the settings which allow wine audio and media audio to work, it usually will not. It will however work, consistently after enough reboots...2-10.
Any ideas?

Windows 7 Sound Stutter Solution - Fixed my sound issues.

9Windows 7 Sound Stutter Solution - Fixed my sound issues.= I have had some?stuttering when I installed windows 7 32-bit and the latest SB drivers for my X-Fi XtremeMusic sound card.
In XP I never experienced this issue before.
My music?stuttered ?when browsing the web with Explorer 8.
I made one simple adjustment to my PC in the BIOS.
I changed the hard disk ?DMA mode from Auto to Ultra DMA 5 and saved the settings.
Make sure you are not running your hard dri've in?PIO mode. I left my PIO mode to?Auto.
I have tried to re create the stuttering while browsing by opening several windows in explorer 8, all the stuttering is gone.
Ultra DMA 5 apperantly enables?the hard disk to operate at? higher data transfer rates which?increases the?performance of your hard dri've.
My PC is not high end.
Running Pentium 4 3.2 GHz processor on a Asus Motherboard P4C800-E?Deluxe.
This solution may fix the sound issues some of you are experiencing.

= try this web page and see if you have a problem. It crashes my audio before any of the videos finish.
http://www.vimeo.com/channels/vjhd#77438
media center music with visualization will crash it too.
It doesn't suprize me its a bios setting. I think the whole thing has to do with latency and board timing.
Overall I'm pissed. creative could just come out and say,"Look, the older products are not compatable with windows 7. Go out and buy a new creative windows 7 compatable card" But they haven't. They have said that x-fi is totally compatable with windows 7 and its not. win 7 is out. The RTM has been out for months. They have had time to make drivers. They just haven't done it. I use a lot of audio applications day to day. I'm tired and pissed off about having audio crashs.
seriously, just release a quick fix with basic sound and worry about all the eax **bleep** later.

The sound on my ipod has an echoe and warped and muffled. What can I do to fix this issue?

The music on my ipod touch comes out with vocals in the background. What can I do to fix this issue?

HP Envy 4-1215dx Sound Issues

Hi, I own an HP Envy 4-1215dx. It's a great unit overall, but I am having problems with the audio on it. From the day I took it out of the box it will randomly spew out quick bursts of buzzing/crackling/digital noise whenever I try and play some sort of media, it will appear to have stopped for a while but then start doing it again, it is quite intermitten. It does it with sound from the internet such as youtube, playing MP3's, and even in Games. It is extremely irritating and I need to find a solution. I have already uninstalled and reinstalled the audio drivers and have had no luck. Doing a quick google search, I found out that there are several other people with the same problem, yet the only answer they get back is to reinstall the drivers. I have done this already and it does not fix the problem. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!

Hello Livingedge,
I understand that the driver is an older version. This is the version that is available for your specific product on the HP Driver & Software page. I have been able to locate a driver that is also IDT, but the release date is 2013-09-30. I have included that driver here for you 'IDT High-Definition (HD) Audio Driver'.
If this driver fails to resolve the sound issue, I would keep an eye on the 'HP Driver & Software' page. This is where if and any updates are available, will be provided here.
Thank you.

Strange sound issue on iPad2

my mom is having odd sound issues on her iPad 2 that i was able to somewhat fix. and it goes from fixed back to broken o.O
i thought it was interesting and worth mentioning, in case this happens to anyone else.
her iPad 2 is up to date on the latest iOS (5.0.1) and the issue occured while she was watching a video in YouTube. sound is totally off in all apps. in Settings>General under 'use side switch to' it is set to 'mute'. when going to Settings>General>Sounds the volume control for ringers will work and cause the ringtone to play, so it seems the speaker itself is fine. however it will only work there and for that short time. afterward sound will continue to remain off. the volume control on the side of the unit will bring up the on screen speaker icon, except it doesnt show the bar that usually goes up and down with the volume. and sometimes at the top of the grey box it will say 'sound effects'. ive also tried switching the mute on and off which changes nothing.
the one thing ive found that changes anything is the multi tasking bar volume control (double clicking the home button and then sliding all the way to the left, where it shows a screen orientation lock, brightness slider and a volume control bar). now the volume control bar is unfilled and doesnt show the dot that you can slide up and down to change the volume. however when i plug the iPad 2 into a computer (any computer seems to cause this) the volume control bar will suddenly fill and the dot will appear. now suddenly sound works in all apps and will change with the side control again as normal.
now heres where it gets even weirder!!!
sometimes when unplugging the iPad 2, after a short while volume will slowly fade out and be unresponsive again. the side buttons stop working and the volume control in the multi tasking bar will be unfilled and unresponsive. repeatedly plugging it in, going back to the multi tasking bar volume control and unplugging will eventually bring volume back. a couple times ive gotten volume to stay on and the volume bar to stay responsive by unplugging it while im in the multi tasking bar. but sometimes this is not the case.
for the record, ive tried 'turning it off and on again' and resetting all settings and erasing all content and settings (both with starting up from a back up on iCloud and PC, and starting up as a new iPad). ive used two different laptops, one with Windows Vista and one with Windows 7. the iPad is synced with one laptop but aside from using iTunes to back it up and for charging, ive not made any changes to the iPad using these devices. during the entire duration of my attempts to fix it, the iPad has been on no lower than 80% power. ive also called Apple and discussed this with an Apple Care representative. who suggested all the same things id already done, and walked me through all the fixes to make sure i didnt skip anything.
hopefully and most probable is that its just an issue with iOS 5.0.1. i also have an iPad 2 thats up to date with 5.0.1 and ive not had this issue, YET.
i just thought it would be beneficial to the community to share this issue and get word out that this is happening. i would like to hear everyones thoughts on this issue and if this has happened to anyone else. the Apple Representative that i spoke to had not heard of or had to deal with this issue so it sounds like its rather new or rare. though she did mention that this is not normal behavior for the device and might be a software issue.
id like to conclude with my love for Apple, and how user friendly iDevices are in general. ive had iPods from the very first generation and all of them still work (though the older ones cant be updated past a certain iOS). the few issues ive ever had were easily fixed with a visit to the Apple Store or searching on the Apple Support Communities. so as with before, i will remain positive and look forward to a bug fix in the next update.
-thanks in advanced for reading, and any comments

Have you got notifications muted ? Only notifications (including games) get muted, so the iPod and Videos apps, and headphones, still get sound.
Depending on what you've got Settings > General > Use Side Switch To set to (mute or rotation lock), then you can mute notifications by the switch on the right hand side of the iPad, or via the taskbar : double-click the home button; slide from the left; and it's the icon far left; press home again to exit the taskbar. The function that isn't on the side switch is set via the taskbar instead : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4085

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you boot, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

Downloaded IOS 7 and now I do not have a dictionary in iBook. This is very frustrating. What can be done to fix this issue?

Downloaded IOS 7 and now I do not have a dictionary in iBook. This is very frustrating. What can be done to fix this issue?

I've got to agree with Allan. It sounds like the hard drive is corrupt at least. It's possible it might be physically failing. Without backups, it's possible your data is already gone. You need a professional to help you.
If you do not have an Apple Store near you or simply don't have the time to spare, there are some things you can try, but you must understand that it's possible these things could make the chances of recovering your data worse than they already are. Perform the instructions to follow at your own risk!
First, you can try repairing your hard drive with Disk Utility. If that works, see if you can start up the machine. If you can, the very first thing you need to do is back up any data you don't want to lose. You may still need to take other steps, as your system may be damaged as well, but getting the data is the important part.
If Disk Utility cannot repair the problems, you can try DiskWarrior. It can repair problems that Disk Utility cannot. However, it also increases the risk of destroying your data if it fails. If it works and you can start up the machine, do the same as I advised for following success with Disk Utility.
If repairs (with either) were successful, but the machine still won't start up, you can try reinstalling the system. Hold down command-R at startup and then just install right on top of the existing system. If all goes well, you'll be able to start up afterwards and can get your data backed up. If all goes badly, it'll further decrease the chances of getting your data back.
If neither can repair the damage, you're in bad shape. You will need a professional to help you, unless you are willing to lose all your data.

What is a packet problem? I'm having sound issues.

I'm at my wit's end. I am having sound issues. I've run diagnostic tests and everything comes back as OK, but it's not OK! Something somewhere is messed up and I can't figure it out.
I have been to the help rooms on paltlak and opened up support tickets and everything they told me to try has not helped. They suggested I change the sound tuning on my chat program, change exceptions on my firewall, uninstall and reinstall chat program, uninstall and install earlier version, download drivers for sound card, and etc. Nothing is helping this problem.
Someone mentioned that it may be router problems or packet problems. I'm not sure what that means, and that is why I'm on this forum asking for help. I have no other sound problems on my computer. My music and videos play fine. It's just when I'm in a voice enabled chat, do I experience these problems, or if I'm on a website that has videos, the video will not load all the way, so I only get 30 seconds of a video. Does anyone know what could be causing this?
I have used this chat service for over 5 years and up until a week or so ago, it worked fine. I did a complete reformat of my computer in hopes that it would help, but I'm still having the same problems. I lose sound within 5 seconds of entering the chat room. Then it takes between 3-5 minutes before I hear sound again, but then I only hear it for a few seconds. Then it goes away for another few minutes. Repeat. Over and over again.
I'm running Windows Vista on an Acer Aspire 380 with wireless cable modem. I keep losing sound in any voice/sound enabled chat and on any site that has videos. I have 1gig of ram, 300 gb hard drive, 32 bit operating system, 2 processor cores, directx version 9, realtek sound card. Everything is up to date, and firmware is up to date. My speed test is: download: 6.162 mbps and upload: 926 kbps.
When I do the ipconfig/all, it shows

I don't know if this has anything to do with my sound issues on the chat program or not. ??

If by chance it is a packet problem, how do I fix that?

Hi. Thanks for the quick reply. Yes, it just started recently and after not being able to fix the problem, I completely reformatted my computer and started with a fresh slate, but still having the same problems. The videos will not continue to load. They get less than half way and then just totally stop loading, therefore I only get to view the video up to the point where it stops loading. I just took your advice and I disconnected the router and connected my computer directly to the modem and my sound issues were fixed. I went into the voice chat and had sound for over 10 minutes (and then I disconnected) instead of the usual 5 seconds that it'd been. So is it the linksys that is causing this? If so, how can I fix it? Thank-you. Message Edited by nightrider7000 on 01-22-2008 11:34 AM

Macbook sound issue after standby

Hello,
Bit random issue here..
This is not consistence but it is totally random. Randomly when i open the macbook lid when it comes out off standby by i hear a weird "ripping" sound issue i think its coming from left hand speaker or side. Im assuming its the speaker.
Its hard to explain its starts with a weird fuzzyness and then it turns into a rip type sound and stops.
It last about 2 seconds and is random and only happens after putting up lid.
Is this normal? any ideas?
thanks

Upgrade kernel to 3.1.5 still not fix the sound issue
On 12/14, I upgraded imagemagick, pcre, texinfo, virtualbox-modules, wxgtk with `pacman -Syu`,
after reboot, the sound comes back, everything works fine just like before
But on 12/16, I lost the sound again, only found these line in kernel.org
Dec 16 09:28:29 localhost kernel: [75508.452468] ice1724: Too long irq loop, status = 0xff
Dec 16 09:28:29 localhost kernel: [75508.452468] ice1724: Disabling MPU_TX
no matter how I tried to reproduce the upgrade on 12/14, still unable to fix the
issue, and those warning didn't show up again, I also boot into live USB to check
if this is hardware problem, but sound works normal in live USB
it's so weird...

Battlefield 2 huge sound Issue!Creative statement plea

Hi guys..
I had once this problem with the DVD playback if some can remember...i couldnt find any solutions so i formatted my system...then reinstalled everything and look there...wow extrem powerful sound,clean and crisp!!! Awesome **bleep**!
GTA San Andreas is working fine, now since 2 days i have Battelfield 2 and there is an enourmous sound issue...you play the game a bit..all of a sudden(before fluent gameplay,no problem)sounds start to stuck alot when you listen to the guy talking to its like hes talking in slow motion and the whole sound starts to get grazy...and the performance drops then down to a level where the game is just not playable...me friend has this game 2 and gues what he has the same problem and last guess...he has an audigy 2...suprised?
If anyone knows this problem and know how to fix it pls let me know...
and i would like to hear from creative a statement if this is their fault or ea's?
All other games run supreme,i mean that in the soundish way.
thx in advance

I had the same problem with the radio in my game. Turn it from hardware to software mode in the audio options. You'll still get good sound, but it might run a bit slower, as it uses more memory.

New iPod Software Fixes Sound Output Bug?

I have speakers and an FM transmitter for my iPods that connect via the dock port. My nano frequently refuses to output sound and I have to do a reset each time I plug it in. I've heard that its a common bug and that new accessories will not have problems with nanos.
I've down some limited testing and it seems that this current update fixes this bug. Has anyone else noticed this?

I hope you are right because I have been experiencing this same issue with my belkin auto adapter (F8V7058-APL-BLK). I have to manually reset the ipod nearly every time I plug it in. But if it has fixed the issue then it has brought up a new bug listed in this thread:

How to modify the SQL being generated from BC, to fix the issue

Hi,
We have seen a strange issue in our implementation.The issue is also reproducible in Vanilla environment.
In Contact List Applet, if we Query in First Name or Last Name fields in UI, the Query being generated is,showing that, Siebel is Querying for first name in S_POSTN_CON.CON_FST_NAME. This is a normalized column for S_CONTACT.FST_NAME.
This is causing the performance issue.
When I check the configuration in Tools for Contact BC's First Name field, it is configured as follows.
Join = S_CONTACT
Column = FST_NAME.
I do not understand, Why it is still querying in S_POSTN_CON.
Any suggestions on how to fix this issue to make the Query to be performed on S_CONTACT.FST_NAME?
Regards

Hi Vamshi,
As Robert mentioned, there just happens to be a number of things that need to be analyzed prior to changing the shape of the buscomp that triggers that sql.
If this siebel performance issue occurs on a production environment, you should certainly look at the performance trend/characteristics of that sql over time and assess its the impact on your business community (...), then carefully identify its -true- root-cause, implement a fix and validate it against a production-like environment in order to verify there is no regression associated with it; once the fix is deployed on your production system, you want to monitor its benefit overtime and on a 24x7 basis…all this may sound very generic yet good practices.
If you are looking at -effectively- solving this siebel peformance issue (and others...) in a timely manner, best is to have your Siebel Teams 1)use a Siebel-specific performance monitoring software technology built by Siebel Architects (like GMT v1.8.5, more info @ www.germainsoftware.com) that is able to collect 24x7 all the data needed for root-cause analysis(and more..), and 2)have senior siebel architects (like Robert's team) that have successfully solved tones and severe performance and scalability issues for many years, provide technical guidance to your team throughout the resolution process.
Siebel CRM is a great CRM software solution that is very complex. Every "switch you turn on/off", every customization you built into it may generate performance issues if it is not carefully implemented, optimized, tested...and monitored 24x7 once it is deployed onto your production system.
Good luck w/ this..
