Iphone4: calls sound like i am listening in on a tin can

When I make a call, holding the phone correctly and with the rubber bumpers, it seems as though I am listening in on a tin can. The other person can hear me clearly and I adjusted the volume but still no change.
Anyone else experiencing this?

I am also having this problem and am not sure how to resolve the issue. Not being able to hear in a conversation eradicates the conversation itself.

Since I updated to IOS 8.1 yesterday my sound is garbled and sounds like it's in a tunnel. What can I do?

That's because there is no supported way to downgrade the iOS. Further, discussion of such is prohibited here, by this forum's terms of use.
You'll have to go elsewhere if you want to go down this route.

3 way calling sound like underwater

I have an office with a 2811 voice gateway and 2960 switch and 5 7942 IP Phones. When the manager is on a 3 way conference call which he originates from his IP phone the callers on the remote end say he sounds like he is under water. They have a full T1 with QoS. The T1 never gets over 60% utilization and there are no errors on the T1.

The issue surfaces when anybody else in the office makes a call from their IP phones while the managers conference call is in place. Then the outside clients will notice that the manager sounds like he is talking under water.
Well now this is a QoS problem. Look at your policy-map; packets are likely being dropped from the LLQ. Remember that the LLQ is policed at the rate specified. It appears you only have enough bandwidth to support three calls; or, the conference call (which is sourced from a different IP than the phone) is not getting placed into the LLQ class.
Be careful to know which codec the calls are at when doing your math. For example, if you have four G.711/722 with 20msec sampling would require at least 352kbps at layer two (assuming MLPPP and RTCP). You can use http://www.bandcalc.com/ to take some of the guess work out of this.
You may want to include the sccp local Loopback0 command to ensure you know which interface confernce calls will be sourced from.

Incoming calls sound like chipmunk voice/ outgoing my voice is very deep

I am new to this forum in real need of help. I guess this occured because my son played with my phone, but now about 90% of the time the incoming calls sound very high pitched (even the ringtone and voicemail messages) and when I answer the phone people think it is someone else (a man). I have not been able to figure out how to fix it and when I called AT &T they could not help. I do appreciate any advise on how to fix this without redoing all my settings (if possible). Thanks in advance!

Another option could be trying to reinstall the device OS. Click here to know how to upgrade device OS.

Calls sound like a fax machine

My phone sounds like a fax machine for incoming and outgoing calls. Help!

This is pretty bizarre, mandileigh. Does this occur in particular location? When did this begin?

Voice sounds like chipmunks when I use my headphones, how can I fix that?

I have a MacBook Air and a Cinema display. Sound is fine but When I use my headphones for chat (YM), our voices sound like chipmunks. How can I fix this? I appreciate any help.

It is plugged-in. I tried it with several headphones and it still the same chipmunk voice. I even used my wireless headphones but no luck.

Caller sounds like they are in a tunnel when receiving or making a call. When using earphones I can hear great.

When placing or receiving a call with new iphone 5 using the earpiece on the phone, the person on the other end sounds very low, like in a tunnel. Volume is as high as it will go. Earbuds work great but I can't always use them, I need to be able to do a NORMAL call without earbuds.

Update - made an appointment at Genius bar today (chadstone, Victoria, Australia).
Genius examined phone, replicated the issue and identified a malfunctioning main microphone. He noted that the reason I could still talk to the other party when I activated the 'speakerphone' function is that the speakerphone has a (second) noise cancelling microphone/speaker at the top of the handset. He replaced the phone under warranty, and offered to help me to set up the new phone. In and out in less than 15 minutes, with new phone operational.
Very knowledgable, very polite and just great service.. Thank you Apple team at Chadstone.

It sounds like my speakers are dying. Anyway I can fix/replace them?

My speakers are starting to have that same fuzzy and unarticulate sound that headphones or other speakers get when you overuse them or have them for too long. I haven't done anything to damage my computer, I assume the speakers are lowered in quality due to normal usage. Is there any way I can go about fixing this issue? Would it be free, or would it cost me? High quality sound is something I find very important in my computer speakers, so I'd greatly appreciate any help I can get.

TS1367 My PowerMac G5 will not start up. There is no startup chime, no display and the fans speed up and sound like and airplane after about 30 seconds. Can someone help?

I push the power button, and it turns on, but there is no startup chime, no video display, and after 30 seconds, the fans spin up. Any ideas?

G5 has these hardware issues:
-- bad capacitors on logic board
-- bad capacitors in power supply
-- badly soldered video chip
-- "There were several Mac models with flat panel displays that had bad displays.
     Most had serial numbers beginning with "W8"---the code for one specific factory.
     This affected PowerBooks as well. If that's the case, the rest of the computer
     is probably fine." by Allan Jones in

Poor iPhone4 (iPod) sound quality

I have an iPhone4 (iOS-4.3.4 | 32GB) that is only 1 month old and I'm finding that the phone's iPod sound quality basically stinks. It's extremely tin can quality even Vs my iPod. My cheap earbuds that came with the iPod sound 1000% better than my $400 Monster earbuds.
I know that unlike the iPod you can download your music on the iPhone at about any data size, but went with the lower to keep the size of the music library smaller. But, did that kill the sound quality or is there some problem with the iPhone4 and the way it operates, especially on the iPod?
The same music sounds fine on the iPod, but when played on the iPhone4 the quality is so bad that it hurts my ears. It's like I'm listening to music between two tin cans attached by sting.
Is there a way around this or is this just simply a problem with the iPhone4?
It's amazing that my tiny iPodnano can produce better sound than the iPhone4 even with the same headphones or earbuds.
Thanks for any hints...
Mike

I have not tried it with the phone on, it's always been in the airplane mode when I listen to the music. So with airplane mode the 3G and Wi-Fi are off. Not sure what BT is.
Odd thing is that podcasts, tv shows and films all are okay ... I don't hear any real difference. It's only with the music. Know that when I downloaded my music from both the MBP and MBA I used the lower bit rate, but would not think that should make a difference. Since the iPodnano is loaded at the same bit rate as well.
There are previous posts here in Discussions that seem to show there is a problem with the iPod on the iPhone4. But, most of those were posted in the last year with nothing recent. So if it was an iPhone4 firmware issue I thought maybe it had been resolved over time. Now I'm wondering.
I did just to the latest update this week on the iPhone4, maybe that's what did it?

G510g sounds like a machine gun when it cycles

G510g sounds like a machine gun when it cycles. Can't see anything jammed in the printer. Seems to be behind the ink cartridges.
Prints just fine and doesn't make the noise when printing only when the cartridges cycle and stop

Hi csterlin,
Welcome to the HP Forums.
When the printer makes the loud noise like a machine gun or the grinding noise, this is usually caused by one of two things. Either you have very small piece of paper caught under the carriage or it is due to a power issue.
Please make sure that you have the printer power cable connected directly to a wall outlet and not a power bar/strip. Here is a document that uses a LaserJet printer as an example but it is meant for HP products in general. Please click on the following link that explains the Issues when Connected to an Uninterruptible Power Supply/Power Strip/Surge Protector.
If the troubleshooting does not help resolve your issue, I would then suggest calling HP's Technical Support to see about further options for you. If you are calling within North America, the number is 1-800-474-6836 and for all other regions, click here: click here.

I hear a sound like clock pendulum inside my mac pro, not a time related, everything else looks great, could anybody help please?

Hi all, i am hearing a sound inside my Mac Pro over 2 months before, on both power and battery, not a time specific, i hear a "tictac" sound like Wall Clock Pendulum, beneath the keyboard, i can feel it my hand while typing, it is very clear, could anybody of help please?

Start your MBP with the StartupManager:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1310
You should see two HDD icons. Select the recovery partition (on the right).
From the 4 option menu select Disk Utility,
Select Disk Utility>First Aid, and run Verify and then Repair.
This should tell you if there are any issues with the HDD.
Do backup your data if you value it.
Ciao.

The rear speakers get surround sound but they sound like a pillow is over t

To start off I have a "Audigy 2 ZS"
After many hours of constant problems with my sound card I finally have got the Surround sound working on my games and machine though the rear speakers sound like, literally, their muffeled by pillows. I can get sound in to them finally but their so muffeled it just irratates me more then when the werent working originally. Yes I do have the updated drivers.
I thought this was my speakers at first, I have Logitech THX Z-5300e 280 Watts RMS 5. Speakers, so I returned them and exchanged them but the problem still exists.
Im at wits end and so far my experience with this sound card is rocky at best
If anyone has any ideas please help me out.
Pentium Duron .2 ghz
256 mgs of ram
Geforce 2 Video card
Audigy 2 ZS
Windows XP

I fixed part of my problem.
I must have hit the rear wire or something because it was loose and I plugged it all the way back in and now my surround works how it should.
However the rear right speaker doesn't work right. I don't know why but it's like someone has the volume specifically turned down on it (like literally 98% down) only and the other speakers are normal.
However if I move the rear right speaker (on the subwoofer) an dplace another speaker in it's place, it will work fine. So it's not so much that speaker as it seems to be specifically the subwoofer connection for the rear right speaker.
