IPad Air sound enhancer

I hate that the speakers face back. On my iPad 2 I bought a cheap disc like enhancer to send the sound forwards, but you can't get one for the iPad Air in the UK. I've made one using a soft plastic iPhone 4 case. I cut it to size and manage with that. But does anyone know of a good looking one? I know of the Stereoamp 180 but it's expensive here.

I have the same problem with my iPad Air 1. I also have an iPad Air 2 without this problem. I started the iPad Air 2 from scratch and started reloading all my apps (about 1400 of them). I discovered that about three of my Apps caused the sound to drop dead, so then I knew what the problem was on the iPad Air 1. So I did a lot of checking and discovered that the Apps messed up the operating system in Air 1. The only way to fix the problem was to Restore the iPad Air 1 to the way it came from the factory and then reload all my Apps except the three bad ones. This solved the sound problem and also other problems that were caused by the three bad Apps. Many iPad problems arise from bad Apps. Once an App ruins a part of the Operating System, the ONLY way to fix it is by Restoring the device and loading in all your Apps again except the bad ones. Finding out which ones are bad requires a second iPad that you test the Apps on by loading in one at a time and using them until you have a problem. Many of the problems people have that can't be fixed is because an App has somehow messed up a part of the operating system. This happens when a bad App crashes. The only way to fix these errors is to do what I have done. It's a big job to say the least. If there is an easier way, someone please tell me because I've tried just about every way and this is the ONLY way it works on impossible problems.

  • Does anyone find that the new iPad Air sounds sort of "hollow" when using the pad?

    Maybe I don't know what I am talking about, but I feel like when using the iPad Air, it seems a bit hollow when using the screen pad or basically just using it in general. My last iPad (the latest one before the Air) seemed like it was more quality. Does that make sense?

    Yes it does have a slightly hollow sound when you tap the screen. This is because the screen is made a bit differently than the older ones...there's a gap between the layers in the screen, which causes the sound you're hearing...it's completely normal on the Air. I took my Air back tho! It's awesome but just a bit big for my taste. I'm hoping the Mini comes soon!
    And I don't know why Kappy is saying the speakers can't do the low frequency so well. The speakers on the Air produce a way better sound than earlier gens..including low frequencies.
    cheers

  • Ipad air sound and battery problem after updating to ios 7.1

    After ios 7.1 update my ipad air passcode sound is muted for first digit. The audio volume is lowered in video player.

  • Does the right speaker of Ipad Air sound louder?

    Hey Guys/Girls,
    Here is my problem:
    I just got my ipad Air 32gb yesterday and everything works fine, well...till I noticed that the right speaker sounded a little bit louder than the left one (it's noticeble). So now I'm confused, because now I don't know whether the problem is comming from the unbalanced speakers, or is it just the new stereo effect, which in my opinion still isn't balanced.
    I'm not saying that the left speaker is not working, that one works, at least i hear sound comming from it ( I actually did a stereo-test on youtube, to make sure both of them will work, and so they did ). But whenever I do a test on it, using the sounds of the settings (Settings --> Sounds ---> Ringtones), it immediately feels like that the right speakers works much better or louder. Even during videoclips I have that unbalanced feeling.
    So is there someone, anyone, experiencing this?
    Or does someone know why this occurs? Defect? Should it be the way it is?
    Perhaps one of you readers could test this and would share hes/her experience?
    I would be gratefull.
    PS: I'm from the Netherlands so pleas don't throw me in **** if you see a grammatical mistake...Thanks

    i just fixed my ipad air's muffling sound and vibration issues. this may help your balance issue as well. hope below will help you all!
    go to settings > general > accessibility > go to HEARING - move the bar all the way to R
    hold Power and Home buttons to restart
    go back to the HEARING settings - move the bar back to the middle
    Now, the speaker should sound much clearer and balance. if you want to reduce vibration, turn the bar to L or R.
    All the best. CC
    P.S. Apple, please keep up the good work. too many issues lately!!!

  • I love my music, would love a iPod for this reason but the iPad air sounds really good too. Can i use the iPad air like a iPod for travel (in car).

    I love music when I travel, I still have a older mp3 player that I can plug in the car stereo. I listen to various artists, a variety of music. Love to make a big play list for a long road trip.
    I'm in the market for a Ipod touch or a ipad air, would I be able to do the same with the Ipod verses Ipad air.
    I would use the WiFi for connection. 
    Compare for me the differences.
    Remember i would want to use it when im out traveling on the road for music.

    The wifi-only iPad is basically large iPod touch. There are some aps that are for the iPad only.
    The new devices a a Lightning cable vice the older 30-pin connector.
    One of these adopters/cables may work:

    However. some car systems and devices are not compatible with the newer iOS devices like the iPad Air

  • IPad Air Speakers Quality

    I have just got my new IPad Air home and have set it up,no problems as far! I then have played audio,video and even notification sounds and the quality is awful. It sounds like the speakers are vibrating and gives such a tinny sound I can't listen to anything other than at low volumes. This can't be right. Does anybody else have this problem?

    I had the same problem with my new iPad Air--shallow, tinny sound, and the whole tablet vibrated when I played music.  Usually noticeable in pop, rock or world music, but really bad in classical music. Spent a week and a half trying to persuade myself that it wasn't as bad as I first thought, obsessively comparing passages of classical music, first on my iPad 2, then on the new iPad Air.  The sound on the iPad 2 is lush and rich; sounds as if the musicians are right in the room with you. Sound on the iPad Air was thin and tinny, like a *recording* of musicians, played back on a not-very good stereo system, and then there were the vibrations.
    I finally gave up and took it back to the Apple store. One Apple "genius" there told me that iPads are not designed for listening to classical music and that I should buy some external speakers if I intended to do that (this after paying almost $1,000 for the iPad itself). But another went around the store with me listening to the same pieces on other iPad Airs, and admitted with surprise that the iPad air sound was really not as good as the iPad 2.  I returned the iPad Air (which BTW also had color issues). Very disappointing since the Air has many wonderful features. Also *really* depressing to think that this could be an indication of Apple quality post-Steve.

  • I stream Internet radio from my iPad air to Bluetooth speaker.  Can anyone suggest the best EQ app to use to enhance the sound.  Thanks

    I stream Internet raidiot from iPad air to Bluetooth speakers.  Can anyone suggest the best EQ app to use to enhance the sound.
    THanks

    Yeah, I know I can restore it, but I might as well go ahead and try. I just finished a backup for icloud and itunes to make sure, I'll go ahead and restore it and set it up as new and see how that works. Seems like I have no other options at this point, I'd still like to know what they did with the Download tab in itunes store, if they removed it or if I'm just overlooking it.

  • Why does the sound not work on my iPad air ?

    The sound won't work on the iPad air I got 4 Xmas but I'm not sure if Apple will accept it back as I'm not sure when it was bought. The sound works on FaceTime and iMessage ring tones but not on apps/YouTube. It doesn't say head phones when I change the volume an I have shut the iPad down I've tuned the ringtone switch on and off , I've cleared all apps ,I've tried to look throughout settings but nothings working. Some times it works some times not .eg.as I left the house to pick my son up I was on an app and the sound was normal.it was normal when I looked on YouTube too when I came back but now. no sound only on iMessage and face time it did this the other day to and it hasn't been knocked .HELP ME!

    Try reset iPad
    Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
    Note: Data will not be affected.

  • HT4623 Since updating to ios 7.0.6 it has caused the sounds on my iPad Air to either be distorted, none at all in headphones or when locking it almost sounds like a whining drill.  What am I meant to do with that got it pretty soon after it was released

    It is completley strange (did the update yesterday evening 5/3), I realise this is likely to be a bug, the iPad Air has no dirt in the headphone or speakers, have checked.  It sounds just like this one http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lnL1OjDQcLM 
    I don't know however if they experience the same with the headphones, I do find that if I fiddle with the mono settings and left and right balance I could get the headphones to work perfectly again, on off with the sleep button and home button seemed to clear the silly noise on the stereo speakers.  I dont really want to keep messing around with the settings to get it to work, I would assume that the update for the SSL bug fix is the problem as when I applied this update the issue started, I had made NO other changes or install of apps and had only used it for browsing e-mail and music.
    This should not happen and would like to know what Apple intend on doing to resolve this and when??

    Try using Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings.

  • IPad Air - no ringer sounds after ios 8.3 update

    since updating to ios 8.3, my iPad Air has no notification or ringer sounds on apps. eg I'm unable to use the Alarmed app as there's no sound. The volume works ok on music and movies.
    For 2 days after the update, the home screen showed the Ringer icon flashing On and Off on the home screen when I woke the iPad up. (it's stopped this although the fault remains).
    I have held the home and power button and rebooted, but this doesn't solve the issue.
    Any suggestions please?
    I only updated from iOS 7 recently as was trying to avoid the dreaded update bugs....iOS 7 crashed. So does 8.3.

    I'm not 100% sure that I know what you mean by "reset/restore."  If it has NEVER been jailbroke, here are some standard repair procedures:
    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  It could take well over an hour!  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore (or it doesn't help), go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.  You WILL lose all of your data (game scores, etc,) but, for the most part, you can redownload apps and music without being charged again.  Also, read this.

  • IPad Air to projector cord choice-sound airport Express?

    Ok so I'm looking to use my ipad to play movies in the back yard for the kiddos.
    The projector I am going to order has VGA and HDMI ports.
    I am looking to project the movie to the screen/projector
    through one of these ports and then stream the sound through my airport express which connects to the backyard speakers I have using airplay.
    Does it matter which cord I use to connect to projector? I was wondering since hdmi has sound as well but I want to use the airport express for this.
    Does anyone have advice on wether this is the best setup? I want to make sure it will all work before investing the money. THX

    duggifresh,
    I am trying to use the same setup using the VGA connection from my iPad to the projector, but the image freezed when I engage the sound through my Airport Express.  Did you ever get this to work?  If so, how?  Thanks!!

  • No sound in Keynote on iPad Air

    Hi all,
    When trying to add sound (a track from my music in iTunes account) to a Keynote presentation on my iPad Air, it allows me to link a track, but then when the presentation is played, the track does not play. I have tried to play the soundtrack separately through iTunes then opened the Keynote and as soon as the presentation started, the music stops, as though it recognises that there is a track there and has stopped the other one to allow it to play. But no sound. Is there a hidden volume setting? I can't find anything and there are minimal options within Keynote to mess with.
    Any ideas? I've searched the net and a few people have have the same issue.

    If you lost sounds for keyboard clicks, games or other apps, email notifications and other notifications, system sounds may have been muted.
    Swipe up from the bottom of the screen to get to control center . Tap on the bell icon and system sounds will return.

  • Video inserted in Keynote has no sound on iPad Air, how can I resolve this?

    I have saved a video from iMoves to my camera roll on my iPad Air. It plays fine in both programmes. Only when I insert it into a keynote presentation does it play with no sound. Can somebody help me resolve this please?

    Try this. Settings>Safari>Clear History, Cookies and cache (data in iOS 5) then restart the iPad. If that doesn't help, look here for more tips.

  • No sound at some apps Ipad Air

    Hello
    My problem is that with headset all app work with sound. But the internat speaker works only with a few apps.
    I try to reinstall from a backup but didn ' t work, no change.
    Harald

    1. If you have no sound at all, even in the Music App, try rebooting the iPad.
    Reboot 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 if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
    2. If you lost sounds for keyboard clicks, games or other apps, email notifications and other notifications, system sounds may have been muted.
    System sounds can be muted and controlled two different ways. The screen lock rotation can be controlled in the same manner as well.
    Settings>General>Use Side Switch to: Mute System sounds. If this option is selected, the switch on the side of the iPad above the volume rocker will mute system sounds.
    If you choose Lock Screen Rotation, then the switch locks the screen. If the screen is locked, you will see a lock icon in the upper right corner next to the battery indicator gauge.
    If you have the side switch set to lock screen rotation then the system sound control is in the control center if you are running iOS 7 ot iOS 8. Swipe up from the bottom of the screen to get to control center . Tap on the bell icon and system sounds will return. If you have an iPad Air 2, you control system sounds and the rotation lock in the control center, since the device has no side switch.
    If you are running iOS 5 or iOS 6, the system sound control is in the task bar at the bottom. Double tap the home button and swipe all the way to the right in the task bar to get to the speaker icon on the left side. Tap on that and the sounds will return.
    If you have the side switch set to mute system sounds, then the screen lock can be accessed in the same manner as described above.
    This support article from Apple explains how the side switch works.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4085
    3. Try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset all settings. No data will be lost but you will have to enter all of the device settings again.
    4. If you still have no sound, try cleaning the dock connector opening of the iPad with a soft brush and just a little bit of rubbing alcohol.
