IPod Nano 6g sounds too low

if i use stock headphones it sounds great , but if i connect iPhone's (in-ear with mic)  or bose ie2, it sounds too low and i cannot hear any bass(eq is worse, volume is lower)...
if i use both of these headphones on my iPhone or mac, they sound great...
is there any limit or something?
i'm selling my iPod because of these in order to buy some sony ****

You don't mention which nano but on the 6th gen you can adjust the volume limit in the settings.

  • IPod Nano losing sound/volume

    Has anyone had an issue with their iPod nano losing sound/volume? The device works upon initially booting it up however randomly the sound will instantly and for no reason start to decrease down to where no sound can be heard. This usually occurs when working out so I've wondered if there is a reported issue with the device getting overheated or possibly sweat either getting in the device or shorting out the headphones?

    If this is the 7th gen iPod nano, and it is new, make sure the headphones plug is completely inserted into the headphones jack of the iPod.  The fit can be tighter than expected, especially when new.  It should "click" into place, when fully seated.
    Your iPod can use headphones with remote control buttons on the cord.  If the plug is partially inserted, you may get audio, but the iPod may get false control signals (such as for volume down) over the connection.
    If that's not the problem, try using a different set of headphones to see if this problem still occurs.

    Hello! Not a problem, because you will get a Ipod Nano 1st generation as a replacement, not a new / latest generation.

  • Ipod Nano (1st gen) too loud!

    Thank you both for your great answers. I tried both your suggestions. They seem to work for some of the items, but not all - very weird.

  • Narration sound too low or else have background hiss/hum

    I am using PreE8 on Windows7 64-bit.  My sound card is....hmmmm, my spec sheet says "Integrated 7.1 Audio."  I don't know what that means.  Perhaps that is the "house" sound on my computer, a Dell Studio XPS 435MT (lack of a decent sound card may be part of the problem now that I think about it).
    Continuing on, I am trying to overdub a video clip by muting it, and recording dialog to the narration track.  I have a cheapo desktop Labtec microphone.  I have two settings in the Control panel to adjust microphone volume.  one is labelled "Microphone" and the other "Microphone Boost".  I have the gain in the PreE8 narration window at max.   For both the front and back microphone jacks, with the control panel "microphone" setting to 100 but the boost at zero, the volume of my narration is too low to hear.  If I slide the Microphone Boost to +30db (the max) in the Control Panel, the volume of the narration is barely okay, but I get a loud background hiss/hum that is unacceptable.
    My goal is to record my voice overdubs with as little extra work as possible, so I am looking for a setup that will allow us to speak into a microphone at normal volumes and to end up with a clean narration clip that I can simply use straight in my project with no denoising, no cleaning up in audacity, etc.
    I read in another thread that a condenser microphone might help.  Will it?  If so, I don't want to break the bank.  Can someone recommend a condenser microphone that will record voice well, but not cost a fortune?
    Might my lackluster sound card be part of the problem?  If so, what recommendations are there for sound cards to record voice well?  I am only looking to record dialog--no music, no explosions--which is why I didn't get a high end soundcard in the first place.
    Lastly, is there anything else I am missing here with respect to recording audio in PreE8?  Because we are trying to sync dialog to existing video, it is imperative we be able to watch the clip while recording dialog, so I don't know that recording outside of PrE8 is an option.  or is it?  Is there a way to do this easily using, say, audacity.  ( I have a great old USB microphone that used to work with Audacity years ago, maybe this might work?).

    The microphone used can make all of the difference, as can a noise-free environment.
    HERE is a good one. I use similar. I would go with a mono, but then you will want your narrator within the pickup pattern. (See below). If this is out of the budget, then I'd stop by a guitar shop and discuss mics with the salespeople. They should know about mic'ing single instruments, and singers, and have many such mics available at differing prices. Discuss the cables, as you will likely be using direct connection via 1/8" connector, and not have a phantom power source - hence the need for a powered mic.
    Now, it sounds like you have more than one narrator. The capture pattern of the particular mic will make a difference. I use a tight cardioid mono mic, because I am the narrator. If you have more than one narrator, you'll want a much broader pattern. Having a powered condenser mic will likely get a usable signal, without having to boost the signal - adding that noise that you are getting.
    Seating your narrators very close to one another will be helpful, as will adding some sound baffling to keep the fans in the computer, etc. from being picked up. Sonofoam is great for this, but one can do similar by just placing some cardboard panels with upholstery  foam glued to it, or maybe even blankets. Do NOT wrap the computer's case, but place these between it, and the narrators. Depending on your room, you might even want to hang blankets behind the narrators to cut down on reflected (echos) sounds from a live room.
    Now, if you do need to record in Audacity, or similar, and watch the movie, you can just Export/Share the Timeline as a Video-only file. Play that in WMP, or similar, and use Audacity to record. I use Adobe Audition, and it incorporates Video in its GUI, so I just Export/Share and Import that into Audition to be played, while I record.
    Your sound chip is probably fine, so long as the level of the signal from the mic is adequate for it. I like to have my narration peaking at about -6dB, so that there is no clipping. I can still boost that slightly in my editing program, if needed.
    I have several panels of foamcore with sonofoam on them. One is between me and the computer's case. Two more form a large "V", with me in the center of that "V." This effectively kills all room reflections. I just use a couple of lightstands besides my chair, and use some spring clamps to attach those panels. Blankets would work fine too. Your setup might look a bit odd, should someone drop by, but what you want to do is eliminate any liveliness in the room, block things like those fans, and be sure to turn off the heater/AC and kill any audio sources from the rest of the house.
    Good luck,

  • IPod nano better sound, is it possible?

    Hi
    Does anyone of of a program similar to SRS iWOW that would work not only on a Mac computer to enhance the quality of sound, but would also work on an iPod nano?
    Thanks

    Hi
    Sorry but I accidently marked this question as answered. OOOPS,
    Does anyone have any ideas?
    Thanks

  • Ipod nano scratches way too easy

    I bought my black 4gig nano this past Saturday and I'm really disappointed with the fact that it already has so many scratches all over it. I've kept it in a very soft sunglasses cloth/bag and still it scratches. At this rate in two weeks it will look like a two year old ipod. I'm just unhappy that it is so delicate. I don't even want to put it in a bag or my pocket and that just defeats the purpose of having the thing. This is my 4th ipod and I have to say even though it works great, for the price I paid, $359 here in Australia, I would expect the exterior to last a bit longer than 4 days.
    What do you guys think?
    Alex

    So how did you get the scratch across the screen?
    Something must have come into contact with the iPod to cause it, it did not magically appear.
    If the same event had happened to an iPod mini or regular iPod how do you know that they too would not have the same marks?
    All iPod and similar electronic equipment are prone to cosmetic damage, it happens, but it is always caused by how it is used. At some point you have allowed something to scrape across the face of your iPod, I don't know what it was, but it happened.
    All these people who complain about scratches could just be not very good at looking after things, they may think they are being careful, but these things don't happen on their own.
    I have a black iPod nano and I have used it for nearly a week, it has no marks at all, butI'm sure it will do soon, when I accidentally bump it or drop it or do something that causes a mark, it will be my fault.
    It's true the nano is not as tough as the mini, but it would not be the product it is if it was made from the same materials as the mini. Apple could not get the nano in such a small package if they used aluminium, and it would not look as good as it does.

  • IPod Nano buttons break too easily

    I got my iPod nano in february/2012. January/2013 the home button broke down. It doesn't work at all. So, if I want to turn my ipod on, to work on it and start playing songs, I have to plug it, so it turns on.
    This is annoying enough, but I got used to it. I actually tried to go to an Apple store to fix it, but I went on march/2013, one month later than its guarantee expired. Great coinscidence, it broke down exactly when the guarantee was off. Well, bad luck I had!
    I kept using it, and in November/2013, the "volume up" button broke. Now its over, cant use my ipod at all!
    These two buttons broke because of usage, and thats all. My ipod didn't fall to the floor or anything, it was because I pressed them, and they broke. Its ridiculous. I always had this image of apple having products that last for a long time. But this time, my ipod was good for only 20 months, and thats it, its dead now.
    Congratulations, Apple, for having such a bad product. From now on, Im gonna think twice before buying anything from you.
    Regards,
    Christian Milanez Preis

    It uses flash memory, not an HD.
    was told if you drop it it could break it easily
    Yes, you can break it easily. It is an electronic device.

  • 5G iPod Nano playing podcasts too fast

    My iPod nano has started playing podcasts at a faster than normal rate, while the time elapsed bar at the bottom (I do not know the proper term for this) progresses in normal time. My music plays normally. What is causing this, and is there a way to fix it?    

    Not exactly sure, but click your ipod on the itunes sidebar and go to the first tab. Uncheck the checkbox that says "Convert higher bit rate song to _______ AAC". See if that helps. If not, on your ipod go to Main Menu > Videos and look for a settings screen.

  • IPod Nano fills up too fast

    I have loaded about 1G of songs (300 or so songs)on my new iPod Nano 4G and it says I only have 300k memory left. Does anyone know how this happens and how to correct it?
    Thanks.
    Jared

    Jared,
    Are you sure that the music (and album art?) is really only 1GB? Using Apple Lossless, e.g., will result in larger files.
    Anyway, you can restore the iPod to it's original state using the updater (on the iPod CD)...

  • Sound too low on iMac since last week

    For some unknown reason my audio is too starting last week. I have to crank iMac audio and external speakers all the way up to get normal sound. I've seen that several others have had this issue via searching the web, but no one seems to have consistent solution or any solution.
    Anyone have the secret sauce?

    Zap the PRAM.  If that does not work, try the following:
    HOME>Library>Preferences.  Trash the sound plist file. 
    Disconnect all devices from the computer then do the following:
    Boot up from your Snow Leopard Install DVD while holding down the "c" key.
    Select the language you wish to use, and then choose "Disk Utility" from the menu bar.
    Your HD should appear in a panel on the left hand side of the window which opens. Select it and then click on the "repair disk" button in the right hand section of the window.
    Once this process has been completed restart your computer, empty the trash and repair permissions directly from Disk Utility. 
    If Disk Utility is unable to complete the repair, you will need to use a stronger 3rd party utility like DiskWarrior, Techtool PRO (not Deluxe) or Drive Genius.

  • Ipod Nano using up too much memory

    I plugged my friend's "Brand new" Nano into my Mac and it says that it is currently using 588 MB. The problem is there are no songs or pictures on it! So I guess my question is what could possibly be occupying the 588 MB? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    No idea - but did you try to run the current iPod updater to restore it to factory conditions?

  • Ipod Nano - No sound comes out even when the volume is max

    My ipod was working fine till yesterday and all of a sudden the its gone silent. Even at high volume no sound comes. I tried restart, restore and even formatted it. Please help.

    Be sure that the headphone connector is completely seated.

  • Ipod nano 5 - sound through speaker and head phones

    When playing music, the sound is coming through the internal speaker and the head phones. 
    When I adjust the volume, only the internal speaker is adjusted.  The head volume is no effected and is too loud.

    Make sure the headphones are plugged ALL the way in, meaning no silver from the headphones plug can still be seen.
    If that doesn't help, try a hard reset.  To do this, press and hold both the Select (Center) and Menu buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.

  • Sound too low on iPhone 4S

    This problem occures during conversation. I tried to use volume controls on the rim  but it helped only partially to solve the issue. Is it due to the connection quality or can I adjust on my own?

    Check the volume limit in music section of your phone and the sounds section inthe settings app.
    make sure the seeker is to its maximum in both the cases.
