Improve/extend equalizer and add 3D sound. Sound quality really poor.

I've been using the 2g nano for a while now and i must say the audio quality is really poor if compared with my 3 year old iRiver (which only has 256mb memory). Lots of people keep saying how great the sound quality is but i believe people saysing that just dont know any better. For those who do hear the difference the only satisfaction is the storage capacity.
The Equalizer is a big shock. People (even Apple fans) say its best to leave it off for improvement. Why ? because turned on the music gets heavily distorted. People even blame their earbuds. So people go off and buy a €40 earbud just for that extra bit of improvement which the nano should already provide with the nano itself.
So this is what should be done :
- improve overall sound quality
- add custom equalizer
- add Xtreme 3D sound (= is a really big ++ iRiver users understand)

  • Sound output quality is poor when playing wavefile

    Thank you in advance for your help.
    We have a "Lynx two-c" sound card and are having a few issues.  Firstly, the sound quality is substandard, with an obvious "hiss" that occurs when played through LabVIEW.  When the same file is played through Adobe Audition, there is no hiss.  I have tried:
    1)   "Play sound file.vi"
    2)  The chain of "SND Read Wave File.vi", "SO Config.vi", "SO Volume", "SO Write", "SO Start", "SO Wait", "SO Clear"
    3)  "Play Waveform" Express VI
    The hiss is obvious with each of these three methods.
    The second problem that I have is that if I attempt to play a wavefile with method 1 or method 3 - the first time using the method does not produce an output.  If I then use a different  method, sound will be produced using either of the three methods as long a LabVIEW remains open.  When I restart LabVIEW, I must sequentially use one method and then a second before I can get any output.
    I am unsure if the two issues are related and I have a workaround for the second issue, but I must find a fix for the first issue.  I greatly appreciate any comments or suggestions.
    Thank you,
    Andrew

    Can you post your code, and sound file?
    Besides which, my opinion is that Express VIs Carthage must be destroyed deleted
    (Sorry no Labview "brag list" so far)

  • Why cant i add my own sound to apps like facebook e mail and twitter

    why cant i add my own sounds to apps like facebook e mail twitter

    "add my own sounds to" - do you mean notification sounds??  If so, they are set by the App developer and can't be changed (other than disable).
    "Why" - this is a user-to-user support forum.  No one here can answer "why" Apple does or doesn't do anything.

    Click on the blue Internet Recovery in nbar's post. That is a link to what computers can run Internet Recovery.
    Do a backup,  preferable 2 separate ones on 2 drives. Boot to the Recovery Volume (command - R on a restart or hold down the option/alt key during a restart and select Recovery Volume). Run Disk Utility Verify/Repair and Repair Permissions until you get no errors.  Reformat the drive using Disk Utility/Erase Mac OS Extended (Journaled), then click the Option button and select GUID. Then re-install the OS.

  • Using iDVD, I've no problem creating a slideshow, but I want to add three seperate sound files, in this case speeches I've got in iTunes. I want to create three individual buttons/sub menu to access them individually from the photos. Can anyone help

    Using iDVD I've no problem creating a slideshow, but am having problems trying to add three seperate sound files in this case three speeches that I hold in iTunes. I want to be able to access them individually and seperately from the photo slideshow. Can anyone advise if this can be done and if it can, how I go about creating the seperate menu and buttons.

    If you'd like to integrate the speeches with the slideshow, I'd do that in iMovie where you'll have more control over the timing.  Use chapter markers at the beginning of each speech so the viewer can jump to a particular speech (note that chapter markers advance the viewer to a particular spot -- the viewer keeps watching the rest of the video until the end of everything or until they use the remote's menu button).
    If you're just wanting the speeches to be on the DVD so people can listen to the speeches after seeing your slideshow, you could:
    - use iDVD or iMovie to make a "slideshow" with just 1 image matching the length of a speech.
    - create three submenus and use the speeches as menu music.  Here's a (random) video on creating submenus:

  • What do you do when you download a show and it has no sound? ( the volume is up on itunes and my computer)

    what do you do when you download a show and it has no sound? ( the volume is up on itunes and my computer)

    That's what iTunes -> Preferences -> Playback -> Sound Check does - equalizes the volume across tracks to provide a more-even playback.

  • How to add bass to sound

    Just got this macbook, and i'm not impressed
    How do i add bass to the sound? The sound quality is terrible and gives me a headache. I tried looking on the app store but its not free.
    On my pc, it's built in

    Your expectation of sound quality will never be realized simply due to the physical constraints of the speakers in the MBA.  The speaker should be viewed as strictly utilitarian.  If you want good sound, attach quality external speakers or quality earphones.  Those are your only realistic choices.
    Ciao.

  • Loaded updates from microsoft and now lost the sound in foxfire

    loaded updates for my microsoft xp , 10 24 10 and now have losy sound in foxfire. I also have I also have google chrome and now sound in it either. I do have sound when using a dvd. One thing I do get the computer will say I have no mixer and tells me to add it but when I check it tells me that my sound card it is working fine.

    Hi thanks for responding. I have a HP Deskjet 1055. The coupons print but the wording is all run together and some of the wording runs off the coupon. I was not sure if I was having problems because of some update I ran, maybe Java ??? Everything was working great, I would send you a picture but it won't let me.

  • On line banking for another person, my Mom, who I have power of attorney for heard ppffzzzttt while inputting Mom's sensitive id info in while trying to log in again? I've had the iPad 3/ 4 & 4.5 and never heard this sound before.

    I tried to access my Mother's bank for online banking. She has had a slow decline with dementia, I'm Power Of Attorney for her. When not being able to sign in, I heard through the iPad 4 Wi-fi 64 gig, a measured buzz sound, like ppffzzzttt. I've had 3  / 4 & 4.5 and never heard this sound before.
    I have had Power of Attorney for my Mom for quite some time. She has been suffering with dementia in a slow then sped up type after her last heart attack. I was the worst candidate for the job but no one else would take it.
    I set up banking on line so I could pay her bills. I am disabled and have trouble paying my own. The iPad again filled those shoes perfectly.
    I logged on yesterday, and the page said, user name not found. I figured it might have been server maintenance or poor typing but even with all personal details the server would not send my user name.
    I became concerned because today I received the Vudu letter that said their headquarters were broken into on March 25th, 2013, and a number of hard drives were stolen with all info they keep on me. They set up an all clear id free of charge for a year, if I wanted to take advantage of it which I did.
    The part that bothers me is when I was inputting my Mother's  sensitive id information my iPad 4 / Wi-Fi / 64 gig emitted a measured buzz sound 3 times. I have had the 3 / 4 / 4.5 / faster processor but did not go for the 128 gig 4.75, and in all that time I have never heard that sound.
    The question, was the bank computer or the FBI probing my iPad 4 and did it place something on it in the memory or damage it in anyway.
    I was on the phone for the next three hours with the good, bad and ugly at Citizens. After talking to an acquaintance bank manager who said she saw no problem and did not know why I could not log in. I spent the next three hours on the phone and ended up talking to a nasty tech who said, it was a rule that I could not do my Mother's banking on line anymore. A "rule" prevented me from acting in that manner. It all, from every party sounded so "hinky," Don Johnson, Miami Vice and wondered if there was a rule at all.
    I asked him why and what triggered the on line banking system to suddenly boot me? The fact I had set it up about one year ago to date and it has performed flawlessly since that time and a whole year later it flagged the account. He said it could have been anything, pressing the wrong key, etc. I knew he was getting edgy so I ended up getting off the line with him because nothing would be accomplished.
    I would appreciate any and all speculations, ideas, or suggestions as I look over banking law, rules, in the next few days. By the way, the money we are talking about is miniscule. A small SS check and an even smaller pension check.
    Thank you,

    That situation went from inconvenient to complicated quickly.  Wait for any pending orders to drop off, wait for things to clear up, wait till your upgrade comes up and then upgrade when your contract is fulfilled.  I would have suggested a replacement phone, I know, with only a month left why couldn't you just upgrade early, but these situations where people try to upgrade early always end horribly and once a phone order starts, it almost cannot finish until something winds up shipped received and returned.  Sorry this happened the way it did.  Definitely not efficient.

  • The sound quality of my speaker suddenly got really poor when playing music or videos.  Sounds like an old AM radio or Sputnik.  Pretty sure it's hardware related but maybe not.  Thoughts on what the problem might be and if it can be repaired?

    The batterys the ipods come with are very sensetive somtimes they dont react right to the first couple of charges. Try fully charging it and then leaving it on until its completely drained a few times. If that doesnt work it might be a lemon.

    Right now , I have access to some of the sound files but most are missing and all are incorrectly labeled.
    Is it possible to ("Library") these sound files or access them from logic?

  • My old 1st gen ipod touch wont turn on and makes a clicking sound when I plug it in.

    My old 1st gen ipod touch wont turn on and makes a clicking sound when I plug it in. The ipod doesnt turn on when I plug it into the wall, even if I let it charge, and itunes won't recognize it. I have tried to reset it with the home and power buttons. Whats wrong and how can I fix it? I think it might be the memory or the battery. What could the clicking sound be related to? Thanks

    Try placing the iPod in recovery mode and then try restoring the iPod.  For recovery mode see:
    iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
    After that I would make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • I have two hard drives on my mac 10.5.8 power pc and hear the clickking sounds of the first hard drive and think that it may be dying, can I install everything on the other hard drive also and wait for the first drvie to die before i use the other drives

    I have two hard drives on my mac 10.5.8 power pc and hear the clickking sounds of the first hard drive and think that it may be dying, can I install everything on the other hard drive also and wait for the first drive to die before i use the other drives? Or, what is the best way to handle this?

    I do not know what you are waiting for.
    I'd make a backup of your important stuff before cloning the entire disk.
    Carbon Copy Cloner will copy your startup drive to an external  firewire drive.  You can boot from the external drive to verify that you have a good clone. When you upgrade your existing startup drive, you can at any time boot from your external drive and go back to your existing system.

    SuperDuper is the wildly acclaimed program that makes recovery painless, because it makes creating a fully bootable backup painless. Its incredibly clear, friendly interface is understandable, easy to use, and SuperDuper's built-in scheduler makes it trivial to back up automatically. And it runs beautifully on both Intel and Power PC Macs!
