Headphone audio sounds like it's coming out of a hole?
Two days ago, I downloaded a radio app to my 2nd gen iPod touch. Sounded fine for a while, then suddenly faded. I could hear the music just fine, but the voices were so quiet I could barely hear them. I switched over to regular music and it did the same thing. I fiddled around with my headphones, thinking they were dying, and got it to work by pressing the jack into my ipod hard, putting pressure on it. I figured it was just old headphones and went and bought another pair.
But it's still doing it. Brand new headphones and they only work when I put a crushing pressure onto the jack. What's going on here?
I can't be sure, but it sounds like you have a bad contact in your headphone port. I would take it to an Apple Store to get a new one or call AppleCare to have it replaced.

Sound from speakers sound like it's coming from a tin can
I just bought a Toshiba Satellite L505-S5971 and the sound from the speakers sound like it's coming from a tin can. The volume never really reaches a very loud volume even at 100%. I've checked all of the settings for the Realteck HD Audio control panel and I've check the device manager and drivers and all seems ok. Does anyone have any suggestions on what could be wrong or is that the way it's supposed to sound? If this is the way it sounds I am very disappointed.
The Realtek HD Audio driver low volume level plagues a great many of us. One workaround is to try the following which tends to improve the volume levels:
First, either download and install the latest Toshiba audio drivers for your laptop via the Toshiba Support web site, or download and install the latest Realtek HD Audio drivers from the Realtek website.
Second, once the audio drivers have been updated, enable "Loudness Equalization" on either the Start --> Hardware and Sound --> Realtek HD Audio Manager --> Sound Effects tab, then click OK to save the setting change. Or on the Start --> Hardware and Sound --> Sound --> Speaker Properties (select Speakers then the Properties button) --> Enhancements tab, scroll down the list of sound effects to enable "Loudness Equalization" then select the OK button to save the setting changes.
Once the Realtek drivers have been updated and the "Loudness Equalization" has been enabled the system sound audio level is much louder, however the DVD and Audio CD audio levels might continue to be low. -
when I record video on my iphone 4 the playback of the audio sounds like it is muffled and is not as loud as it should be? I have had the phone for 2 years and the last time I had used it to record a video was in July of this year. The sound came out crisp and clear. Now when ever I play back videos the audio is muffled and at a lower volume than it should sound like. I have the volume set all the way up when I record and my hands are not covering the microphone and/or near to affect the audio playback.
It worked!!!!! Thank you. I didn't know there was a microphone at the top. I knew the hole was there but I didn't know what it was for. Thank you so much. \m/ ROCK ON!!

My built-in Webcam is not recording correctly. When recording directly to youtube (upload), the audio sounds like a robot. It was not doing that when I first got my new MacBook Air last month. What do I do to fix it?
I have tested it over several days with different internet connections...and have done it with another notebook computer on the same connection and it the video uploaded and recorded fine. I can also use the video webcam with Google Hangouts and it records and works fine. So I know the problem is not internet connection...and apparantly not even the webcam or mic.Try using Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings.

Import imovie audio - sounds like donald duck...
Hello,
I imported an imovie soundtrack that I made recently (from my camcorder). The audio track sounds high pitched, donald duck like. what am I doing wrong ?
Also, I want to process the imovie track to remove some echo that was present in the room during recording. What is the easiest method to reduce/remove this - if possible?
Thanks - Max

pitched, donald duck like. what am I doing wrong ?
The pitch and tempo issue sounds like a sample rate problem, but I thought iMovie audio was recorded at 48K which would make it play lower and slow in GB. For background on this:

You can play with the Gate effect to cut out software sounds, but that would only be during the silent passages.

IMovie 10 - audio sounds like it's underwater
Just upgraded to iMovie 10 from 2011 version (iMovie 10 is not in the product list yet, so I'm posting here in hopes of getting some help). I like most of the new iMovie, but having a terrible time with audio after export. When I go to SHARE > TO DISK or ITUNES, the output file sounds like it's underwater or in t a tin can maybe . Hopfully it's a simple fix that I haven't stumbled on yet, but I'm wondering if anyone else is having this issue and how to fix it. The sound is correct when played in iMovie 10. Thanks, Kevin
My CPU specs if that's helpful:
- OSX 10.9
- 2.8 GHz intel Core i7
- 8 GB 1067 MHz DDR3I've just discovered this issue, too. Using m4v file created using handbrake from a DV AVI file. Audio sounds fine if video is played in VLC, but sound awful in iMovie sounding like there's a strange echo type issue.
cheers

Based on similar posts it sounds like a driver issue. I don't want to install the wrong driver, naturally. Thanks.

Audio sounds like broken record
When I open the project, some audio clips will be fine for the beginning, but at some point will have one second repeated over and over again for the remainder of the clip. When played back, it sounds like a broken record. The actual files are fine, when I check the clips on my hard drive they're normal. But when I open the project, they are corrupted. And it happens to different clips each time I open the project. Even when I import the same file again, it will be corrupted in the same spot. Any ideas?
Try updating your audio driver.

Audio sounds like "Alvin & the Chipmunks"
I have Toshiba Satellite L445D-S5976. I've tweaked and tried repair on the audio, but it says nothing is wrong, or can't detect problems, yet everything still sounds like High Speed sounds.
Anyone that could help, it would be greatly appreciated.Satellite L445D-S5976
Maybe this one?

Imported audio: sounds like cartoon mice 48KHz vs. 44.1 KHz vs. .mp3
Does anyone know if the following can be fixed:
I inserted some new slides and imported new .mp3 audio clips into CP4. When played slide by slide the audio sounds as I would expect. When published, however, the audio on the new slides play at about double speed to the others. The v/o artiste now sounds like a cartoon mouse.
So what's different?
I used a different recorder. I recorded at 48KHz and rendered at the same (in Reaper), before converting to .mp3. Yes, I know I should have used 44.1 but the file was going to be converted outside of Captivate in any case to .mp3 (and I forgot).
In the audio Manager I can see that the 'old' files that play OK were imported as .wav. Captivate can convert these. The .mp3 files appear as 48KHz sample rate, even though I coverted to .mp3.
I have a feeling I may need to re-record the clips to 44.1. Or is there are a way of converting 48KHz files to sound OK at 44.1 KHz? Any ideas?Hi,
I am not sure if yo are experiencing this issue in Adobe Captivate 5 version or older.
If you see this issue in Captivate 5, then this issue is handled in an upgrade patch available -
Please read more details and download the patch from here -
http://blogs.adobe.com/captivate/2010/08/patch-for-adobe-captivate-5-to-resolve-upgrade-re lated-issues.html
This should solve your issue if you are on Captivate 5.

Once in awhile while recording audio and a demo at the same time, the audio will speed up and sound like a chipmunk upon playback. I have been using both Windows 7 and Windows XP and both seem to have the same issue. It mostly occurs when clicking from one function of a website or clicking within a software program while demoing. Any ideas as to what the cause might be?
Hi,
Could you please tell the version of your Captivate? any additonal details regarding recording mode, settings, devices etc?
Please try-
-- to use a different external device to record again, I believe you used same device on both XP and 7 machines?
-- record just the Audio for a few slides -- Audio -- Record to Slides/Project
-- Do a test record for a different application as well, just to confirm, it has nothing to do with website.
Thanks!

Solved!
Go to Solution.Then goto Control Panel/Sound/Playback/Properties/Enhancements tab and check "Disable All Effects", something like that. Maybe it will help. We also had problems with low audio output on our L430 so we, after much trouble with different Win7 Realtek drivers AND Dolby Advanced Audio "features", ended up deinstalling Dolby Advanced Audio altogether and since then our audio output has been acceptable. But before deinstalling Dolby Advanced Audio, check "Disable All Effects" in Windows Control Panel's Sound/Playback/Properties/Enhancements tab.
