Headphone center sounds extremely loud. Is this vista only b

I just installed vista a few days ago and sound was find with headphones plugged directly into the sound card. And now when i watch anything the sound has to be all the way up in the control panel just to hear anything and even if theres loud noise with the volume low it trys to blow up the headphones lol. Just wondering if there is anything I can do about this. I set it to mute speakers and i can hear all the channels in the headphone.. well i could before whatever the drivers did that messed it up lol. Any help would be nice. This also happens even when i put the 5. speakers back on all the sound comes out of the center channel so its not my headphones. Just wondering if theres a registry fix for this.Message Edited by syllinx on 03-02-20070:45 PM

Sounds like that there could be a lot of data it is reading off the disk or the disks are not burned very well. If it happens on some but not others, your drive is probably ok.
Run a System Diagnostic by putting in your original OS disk that came with your computer, restarting, and holding down D when you hear the chime.
Do an extended test and it will tell you if you have hardware problems.
The other option is that you can run a test by taking it to an Apple genius and having them run a diagnostic on it.

  • I've noticed that when wearing headphones the sound is much louder in the right headphone than the left one. This wasn't a problem before.  Has anyone else noticed this? Is there a fix if so?

    Did you try different headphones!?
    If it's sounding the same thing on different headphones then you might have changed the Left-Right balance
    Have a look at Settings -> General -> Accessibility
    There's a slider for L-R
    If it's in the center then the headphone through which you're facing the problem might be damaged, try twisting the headphone wire of the speaker of the headphone (left or right) where you are encountering less volume.
    If it's sounding altogether same on all the circumstances, the headphone jack might be damaged. Get your phone to the Apple Store and book an appointment
    Try these steps and it will solve your question

  • Extremely Loud Popping Sound

    Everytime I try to switch through keyboard effects, specifically the leads and pads, if I switch through them quickly to find a specific one that I like, I'll get an extremely loud popping or buzzing sound. So loud that I actually have to take my headphones off immediately. After this occurs, I can't hear anything anymore from Garageband, I actually have to retstart the application to get my sound back.
    Is there a solution to this?

    Hi-
    Anyone had any experience of this?
    A very common issue.

    I wonder if Apple would still fix it although I think the repair thing they had ran out in January 2010?
    Apple has been known to repair these machines.
    It all depends on how you pursue it and to whom you talk to.
    Calm, assertive, educated, polite persistence seems to pay off best

  • When I play video clips from websites like Prescreen the sound is loud enough to hear w/out headphones.  When I play my own professionally mastered video I have to wear head phones to hear loud enough.  Is there a trick in Compressor or other software?

     The Nokia 3720 classic is a IP54 level water,
    Not even close to good enough, LCD screen will crack, water will go in through the jack/charger ports..
    The phone i describe has no external ports just 4-5 little pins which can't let water in or out of the device, the docking station will connect via these 4 - 5 pins for data transfer and recharging...., IPX8 standard, all the electronics are epxoyed with a glue to stop real bad shocks from drops and bangs, along with a silicon case and all the other preventative meausres means this little phone is going to outlive you.
    in combination with heart rate external bluetooth connection, really what more could you want... only the Sonim comes close in terms of perfection but if it managed to pack all of above, then it would be simply wow... I don't think there's enough people who work for nokia who actually go camping, backpacking, hiking, i'm pretty sure that if i told them one day
    on a holiday you might drop your phone into the swimming pool, ok fine it's a mistake but damn, there goes your $$$$ N7 or N900 or even a HTC or Iphone.... not this, you'd yell to the first person you see in the pool, hey mate can i have my phone back, don't worry about the water damage, i'll get it back on insurance after a small lie stopping the person from running off with it (in fear of the now useless mobile phoned killed by water, making an attempt to steal be useless) 
    The person gets their phone back and carries on about his day, it drops out of your pocket, how many times you ran over it because you happened to leave it behind the back tire. oh no i ran over my phone, the tough casing and the epoxy keeping it nice and safe, except for superficial damage cosmetic, the screen and phone should be working still able to make that call or send out GPS info....
    Sorry nothing comes close by any company (except Sonim) in terms of what they can do... maybe even a portable charger turn it to recharge like on LED dynamos. nah maybe not.

  • Nano 6G: When I play next song, an extremely loud sound will play for 0.3 sec.

    I am extremely annoyned to the fact that when I play music on my iPod Nano 6G (The small one with touch feature), I will play next song by double clicking sleep button then suddenly an an EXTREMELY LOUD DEADLY SOUND will play as if the iPod wants to kill my eardrums. This happens in 1:500 ratio I guess. Did anyone experience this before? I tried playing the song with iTunes, Media Player and other players then I click NEXT to try if it happens but not.

    Oh sorry - just answered my own question - somehow the songs were marked "Skip on shuffle" (went to "Get Info" for all songs, under Options....not sure how they got marked that way, but the issue seems to be resolved on both Mac and iPhone....

  • Headphone sound too loud - how to get very fine volume control in osx

    I could not use my headphones on my new MBP, because the sound was always too loud, even on the smallest setting. It appears that lots of other people have similar problems, so here is a way to fix this:
    To get very fine sound volume control I use soundflower fromhttp://code.google.com/p/soundflower/. You have to restart after installing it. Then go to preferences/sound/output and choose soundflower(2ch). Start soundflower from the applications folder, click on the flower symbol in the top pannel and soundflower(2ch) built in output. Then go to Audio setup and change the master for soundflower(2ch). This way you can get the global sound less loud or you can amplify it.
    Hope this helps a few people

    You saved my life (and my ears) ! Thank you marcel-sl for sharing this (;
    Prety cool software if you have an USB headset too loud. Now, I can use F11 and F12 (;

  • The fan on my brand new Imac Quadcore is blowing extremely loud. Is this normal

    The fan on my brand new Imac Quadcore is blowing extremely loud. Is this normal?

    I have the same problem on my 2010 IMAC 27" I7. Even if the mac is running at idle it occurs. It was already at the apple store for repair.
    Later they told me, they found nothing with the hardware test so its not their problem?!!!
    the activity monitors shows also nothing special, even the cpu's are at idle. No streaming or rendering, just working on the web or some normal documents...
    I runned smcfancontrol to check whats going on. It seems that the onboard temperature sensor is measuring wrong instantly so they SMC thinks, its to hot/or not and then spinning up the fans to full power.
    SMC reset is not really working, or just for some hours.
    Can anybody else help?
    Thx

  • The beeping sound when dialing a number suddenly got extremely loud.

    The beeping sound when dialing a number suddenly got extremely loud on my iPhone 5. I have read that it can't be turned off unless you mute the entire phone. I have turned off all keypad sounds. How do I adjust the beep volume back down to normal?

    I just recently started having the same problem a few days ago.  My phone has always made keypad noises when dialing, but now they are EXTREMELY loud, almost to the point it is uncomfortable when you have the phone close and dialing.  It is driving me crazy and I can't find any fixes.
    **Edit** I just got super frustrated and restarted my phone 3 times in a row.  After the third hard reset, my volume is back to normal.  Give that a shot.

  • Why is the playback sound so loud.

    Using PRE8.  Although the sound recordings are nominal, no higher than 0db, I always get extremely loud playbacks on my DVD.  It's blasting and I have to way lower the volume before starting.  Why is that happening and how can I correct?

    You know, I find most commercial DVD's to be about +3dB higher, than for my other input settings. I always have to turn the volume down...
    When editing my Audio, I always do so with headphones, and carefully monitor the output Audio. I do this by ear, and only glance at the Levels Meters. In general, my Master is probably most often set to -3dB, and for Menus, and for my surround channels, I am usually ~ -6dB, but this all depends on the Levels of my source material. It is not uncommon to have a Track at -18dB, especially if it's used in a Menu, or is in my surround channels.
    I'd almost always rather turn UP the home theater's volume, than have to run to turn it down, as the house is blown off its foundation.
    What I absolutely hate is the commercial DVD, where the Center channel is way down, but the SFX in the LFE channel is up by about +12dB. I almost blew out my walls on Fight Club, with the airplane crash scene. Just totally painful. SFX pieces do not need to be THAT loud. Just a pet peeve of mine.
    I also find that too many burned DVD's (by others) have the Menu Audio much, much too high, as do some commercial DVD's. That Audio should be nothing more than "background" music.
    Good luck,
    Hunt

  • No working sound just loud screaching, crackle b

    Hello all,I just purchased a X-fi and after getting the drivers installed I plugged in the speakers and I get? an extremely loud screeching/hiss/distortion sound. I tried several high quality headphones and speakers from another computer and they all do it. At one point after hitting the default button it went quiet with just a very very high pitch ringing. Through all this there is no intended sound coming through the speakers. I ask if this is the crackle bug that is so discussed because I hear people there talk about playing music over it and it is tolerable. But with mine, the noises are too loud to even put on headphones with on the lowest volume settings.

    Hi!
    I've a similar issue. I have exactly the same effect, however without doing anything but recording an old record of mine. The recording reliably produces a loud click deadening first the right at 45s and later on a second loud click deadening the left stereo channel at ~120s. Afterwards all audio output on the machine es dead producing nothing but "click-click", regardless of the type of the audio output (MP3 file, system sound, etc.).
    More interestingly this effect carries over to exporting the recording, i.e. when i export this to an aac file the clicks & the deadening are transferred to the exported file! This results in a 45s stereo, then further 35s left channel only and then a rest of the file completely silent.
    So far i've no idea how to solve this. Any further ideas appreciated.
    Cheers

  • Why is the headphones output jack so loud?

    The output from the headphone jack on the left of my MacBook Pro 15" (base model, latest as of 16/07/11) is incredibly loud. Even when my Mac has the volume on one 'bar' or 'block' when using the volume buttons, it's still extremely loud and almost deafening. I fear how loud it must be over two blocks, because I simply can't listen to it.
    Is there any change the min/max volumes that are possible? This MacBook Pro is only 2 days old.

    Changing the output volume in Settings yeilds the same result, still very loud. I also performed a PRAM reset and it's still very loud.. this is a really weird problem :\
    Hmmm. Agreed, very weird. There have been many and varied issues with MBP audio out ports. I would try another set of headphones, if possible, and if same issue there, contact Apple. 90 days free phone support, 1 year hardware warranty, 14 day return/exchange period.

  • ITunes 7.0.2 Extremely loud noise when you move files in Finder

    I could find only one thread that was close to what I'm experiencing:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=3122307
    Every now and them, while listening to my iTunes music, when I drag and move a file/folder, a sudden extremely loud noise occurs. This noise almost sounds like a speaker distortion and goes away after 1-2 seconds. As soon as this noise goes away, the music being played in iTunes comes back.
    Has anyone experienced anything like this?
    Any input would be appreciated.

    I think I may be experiencing something similar. This just started today. iTunes 7.1.1, get a random annoying noise that plays into the music. Best description I can give is the noise the comp makes when it can't complete whatever task you are trying to do via pushing or typing on the keyboard. You no, just that real quick "thump". It only lasts for a second and is completely at random. Only occurs when I am playing music on iTunes. Clueless...

  • Sudden extremely loud low-pitch buzz lasts for a second - happened randomly

    My iMac occasionally would produce a sudden and extremely loud buzz from the speaker which lasts for 1 second or less only. The tone of the buzz is like an electronic distortion, something you would hear if you have a nasty electronic feedback in a digital audio mixer, low - mid range frequency. It is extremely loud I thought I was gonna have a heart attack. It happened very randomly, usually once a month or even less. But for the last 2 weeks I have had 3 episodes of it and 2 of them consecutively. 1st episode happened when I clicked on the delete button while trying to delete a contact from my MSN list. I had iTune opened in the back but not playing anything at that moment. 2nd episode, I had RealPlayer playing in the back, iTune opened but not playing anything, my iPod was connected with the iMac. I was converting a wav file in iTune into mp3, as soon as it was done, the loud buzz happened. Before I could catch my breath, (still had the RealPlayer playing in the back, iTune on but not playing anything), I tried to open a new tab in Safari and as soon as the tab was created, that loud buzz happened again. I tried asking apple genius but they haven't heard of anything like that and they guess it's probably the internal speaker's problem which I doubt. Any suggestion?

    In some older iMacs, and others, a power surge could make noise;
    and by this 'surge' I also mean some internal power component
    could have a problem and supplying occasionally higher power.
    Does this computer run warm or hot? Not sure if there is an
    audible alert of some kind built into it; but a temperature widget
    could be helpful to see how warm it gets. iStat Pro is good.
    There may likely be a hardware cause behind this odd noise; so
    I suggest you make an external backup of your work and files
    just in case something else goes wrong; so you won't lose stuff.
    Some kinds of backup include saving what you can to an off-
    computer archive (DVD or CD media) to include using a bootable
    externally enclosed FireWire hard disk drive; properly prepared,
    and use it to make a complete computer drive 'clone' of everything.
    A clone utility, such as Bombich's Carbon Copy Cloner, is good;
    since it gives you some options and also the web page allows
    you to get the utility and run it, the product is donationware and
    is a good product. Also, in the header of the home page, you can
    mouse-over the menu icons and see additional information.
    In some older Macs with a loud buzz sound, there were some
    significant hardware issues behind it. If your computer no longer
    has any AppleCare protection plan left, this may be costly to fix.
    Or you may luck out and the problem may be a loose wire, etc.
    But to backup the files and stuff (and figure out how, in the case
    of making only copies of iTunes libraries or iPhoto libraries) is
    about the best immediate advice. The computer probably should
    see a real qualified technician; not just five-minute duration 'genius.'
    With a known pattern or set of events in which the computer will
    make a loud and unnatural noise, a technician should be able to
    duplicate it. And take notes to keep a small log of what all you do
    when the computer makes this noise; so it may be duplicated in
    the presence of a troubleshooting technician.
    There may be some other cause of the 'buzz' such as a failing
    optical drive or some circuit; and there also is a chance the
    hard disk drive may be the source of odd sounds if it is failing.
    (How loud are the fans in this computer? - Do they run alot?)
    Not sure what else to say; but if the computer contents are
    backed up, and the unit goes into the shop, you will at least
    have a complete copy (bootable is best, on a FireWire drive)
    in the form of a clone; that also could be used to troubleshoot
    the computer or be useful in routine home/tech maintenance.
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • Extremely loud and damaging audio peaks while scrubbing through busy sequences (health hazard)

    Hi,
    I am editing in Premiere Pro CC (2013) and I have repeatedly experienced the problem while scrubbing through a busy sequence where a very short audio sample (milliseconds) will blast through my speakers damaging my speakers and my ears. It normally occurs while I am quickly navigating between parts of my sequence that have multiple audio layers which leads me to believe it is an audio rendering issue. The audio sample that plays is extremely loud (many times louder than the media in the sequence) and causes me pain, being a full time editor this is extremely damaging to my hearing. I need to have audio scrubbing enabled whilst editing and I am hoping for a workaround to stop this problem whilst keeping audio scrubbing enabled.
    My system:
    Audio playback set to built in output (I use headphones)
    2.6 GHz Intel Core i7
    16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
    NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M 2048 MB (Cuda enabled)
    OS X 10.9.4

    7.2.2 is the last release of CC7. And as I already noted it contains the fix I was referring to, which apparently doesn't resolve the issue you're encountering. If you started this project in an earlier release of CC7, it's possible that it is the same bug and, though fixed in your current build, it's continuing to present itself because it's basically saved to the audio preview files. In that case, clearing the audio preview files would get you free and clear of the bug.
    Note, by the way, that 7.2.2 is not the current version. CC2014 was released in June of this year, followed by 2014.0.1 in July.
