Ipod to stereo sound loss

I've been searching a bit for this, but has anyone noticed some serious sound loss when connecting ipod to stereo or television and trying to play music? I've used it for TV and I didn't notice any major loss, but for music (using the standard headphone jack to white and red plug), it *****! If I turn the stereo up full ball it still lacks any punch (on a cd it would deafen me at this level). I want to buy a car stereo with an aux imput, but don't want to if it's not going to be loud. The ipod is new, so just want to know if this is normal?

I have used all of my 4 iPods as the main source for music connected to my living room stereo for years throug a docking station. (Not through the headphone output.)For my stereo i think the "latin" equalizer setting is closest to CD sound, but that varies. The sound is very close to CD sound and I do not lack any punch. I am using the same set up in the car and no problems there either. With the latest docing station the volume on the iPod has to be on full, but it automatically goes to full volume when docking.
By the way, I am using it with to stereos, One Denon and one Bose.
Regards,
Trond

Ipod producing stereo sound in one headphone

so today i semi dropped my ipod and then i had no sound from headphones, then i hit it and the sound came back in one ear and not the other.....is my ipod messed? or just crap headphones? any ideas on it?

I kinda dropped my ipod as well and no sound came from any headphones or my car tape deck adaptor. So then I decided to do a software update and then it workedbut out of only one ear. Don't now what else to do except bring it in where I got it, its still under warranty.

Ipod doesn't produce stereo sound from iphone built-in speakers?

I've had my iphone for some time now, but just noticed that when playing music from the ipod built-in to the iphone, the music is only coming from one speaker (the one on the bottom left).
Is that normal? I would assume both speakers would be used?
I checked the settings and couldn't find a setting for "stereo sound" and did a forum search and couldn't find an answer.

fair enough i didn't think i had posted it in the right forum, so i posted it in the ipod/audio one as well....
anyway, thanks for the answer.

Connecting iPod to stereo with fiber optic cable???

My kingdom for the right answer to this question.
I'm brand new to the whole iPod scene. Just bought an 80GB video iPod and I want to use it with my stereo system instead of the old bulky 200 CD carousel.
I see that I can connect the iPod and stereo using the AV connection kit, but isn't there a way to get digital audio sound quality with some sort of fiber optic connection?
Will the Monster iCable Fiber Optic Kit work? It doesn't list the iPod as a use, but it sure looks like the non-Fiber optic end would fit into the iPod headphone jack.
If anyone knows, I'd greatly appreciate the help. I'm a total newb about this and haven't had any luck with my online searches.
Thanks in advance.

No you cant do it but

Change between mono- and stereo-sound

My question is if there is any way to change between mono and stereo sound on the ipod nano 3th generation...?
Thanks for help!

Are you not getting stereo? What are you listening with - maybe there's a plug problem...
Does it sound like stereo from iTunes?

Audio - recording high quality stereo sound with iPhone 3Gs

There are a number of excellent sound recording apps now available for iPhone - notably RecTools 08 (8 track, PCM) but no way to get stereo sound into the device. To date both Belkin and Griffin state their stereo microphones (designed for iPod) will not work with iPhone because Apple has not enabled audio input via the dock connector.
to the community:
• Has anyone found a method of getting high quality stereo sound INTO the iPhone?
to Apple engineers:
• Is the dock connector software upgradable?
• Does Apple have any plans to correct this serious omission in it's flagship mobile device?

Intermittent Sound Loss (SFX & Audio)

Hi gang, I have an odd problem with intermittent sound loss (button SFX + audio) on my brand new ATV2 (HDMI to HDMI on a 2 year old Phillips 42"). The picture is great, but the audio only works about 50% of the time. (?!) I'm totally stumped. I did some troubleshooting. Restart, Reset, Restore. No dice. I swapped the cable and tried different HDMI ports — to no avail. I also spent an hour on the phone with an Apple tech. We did everything again and we turned off Dolby, etc. No dice. He suggested I bring the device into the Apple store, and they swapped it out for me. But I'm having the same problem with the new device — and AGAIN only 50% of the time. It seems totally arbitrary. Very frustrating. Any ideas would be appreciated.

Did you try restarting your TV, the problem may be there.
(I have a tv that starts to drop audio occasionally, although a restart of the tv will resolve the matter it does return perhaps weeks/months later)

Stereo sound from all speake

Hii, I have a X-Fi Xtreme music and a 5. speaker setup, can someone tell me how can I get stereo sound from all of my speakers? thanks in advance.

Hmmm, I don't have an X-Fi, but to answer your question the first thing someone needs to know is how you have your speakers connected. If, for example, you're running throgh a receiver you need to separately output each channel (using 3.5mm mini plug to RCA cables/converters you would buy at Radio Shack) to the external decoder of your receiver. Of course, in that insance, you would output the DD source stream from the optical out of the card through the optical in of the receiver; stereo playback would be from a 2. signal. I run both configs on mine. Now, if you're running computer speakers already plugged into the correct outputs of the sound card that's a different question, and it's one I can only relate from my experience with the Audigy 2 software.

Apple gives response on sound loss in iMovie '11

I phoned up Apple 'Care' about the reported sound loss/sound syncing when exporting clips.
Apple are not aware of any problems with the sound on the latest iMovie update. He suggested I look at my settings, and "Search on Google".
Great help.

Stereo sound using SO Write

Hi.
I'm trying to play one tone out of my left speaker and another on my right.
I have configured my sound devise to stereo using "SO CONFIG". Then I send
the tones to "SO Write" using a 2d array.
I hear to tones, but the problem is that the same sound is coming from both
speakers.
I need to have the tones separate to each speaker.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You may want to post this to a Data Acquisition forum, as you would probably be talking with engineers that have more experience with this sort of thing. However, I do have a bit of experience with it. If you are wanting to send out analog signals to the different speakers independently, you will need to have two different channels to write to. Does your sound card supply this capability? I assume that if a card allows stereo sound, it would have multiple channels to write to. Let us know what you find out.

IPod Car Stereo Connection

I just recently bought an aftermarket Kenwood, iPod compatable stereo for my car. When I plug in the iPod to the stereo (it has the modulator {direct connection, not FM}), all it plays is the first song on my list. I can't go from one album to the next. Did I set up my iPod wrong, or is it something else? Please help...thank you!!!

I just spoke to Apple tech support. The techie said that they changed the pin configuration and that he did not know of any workaround for in-car charging. He also said that the 4th gen Nano (out of the box) and the 3rd gen Nano (after the latest software update) will no longer go into standby mode when connected to non-apple interfaces. He also said that they are working on it and the standby mode should work again after the next software update.

Clean out/blow out the headphone jack. Insert/remove the heaphone plug a dozen times or so
Try the following to rule out a software problem:
- Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Power off and then back on the router
- Reset network settings: Settings>GeneralReset>Reset Network Settings
- iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
- iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a bad headphone jack
Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price. They do not fix yours

A third-party place like the following will replace the jack for less. Google for more.

Upconverting Stereo sound to Surround 5.1 or higher?

Does something of the sort exist for linux? I'm just having a hard time living without the "CMSS-3D" feature of the windows soundblaster drivers. They also have an alternative called DTS:Connect which includes DTS:Neo PC (which i could use) and DTS:Interactive, is there any way to utilize those functions of my card?
Creative's Crystalizer and Sound Volume Management i can live without in fact i can live without everything except equalizer and Stereo to Surround conversion, it's the latter i'm having a hard time finding on linux, do you know any solution to this problem?

That's one useful sig you've got there , Thanks!
Right now i'm just focusing on converting stereo sound into 5.1, i'll need to play a bit with the config file (since i have very rarely configured it) to test that function though so i don't know yet if i need any additional effects or distortion, but it would be nice to know about which ones are available, i quite like tweaking my sound to perfection, thats why i even have a soundblaster card to begin with.
Quoting Wikipedia on an effect that i do like to use (Crystalizer, but as i said before i don't think it's something really important to me)
Creative Labs states that the primary function of the Crystalizer is to "restore portions of the sound which were lost during compression". The "compression" that is meant here is not the digital file-size reduction achieved by digital audio data compression technologies like for example mp3. Rather, the idea is to reverse the effects of dynamic range compression, an analog technique that was and is used during the production of most 1990s and newer Audio CDs (with the exception of some classical music recordings) to make them sound louder at the same volume level setting, as it was found that subjectively louder CDs get more airplay and sell better. To achieve this loudness without introducing strong distortion, points in the signal where the volume reaches a maximum are compressed (which means in this case: reduced in volume), then the whole signal is multiplied by a factor so that the maximum volume is reached again. After this, the music as a whole is louder than it was before, but the maximum volume points (mostly transients) are not as pronounced as they were before. Since this whole process is done before the final Audio CD is recorded, its effect is equally present in uncompressed audio files created from such a CD, in lossless compressed audio made from the CD, as well as in lossy compressed audio from that same CD. Transients are typically found in percussive sounds, in plosive consonants of voice recordings, and during the first few milliseconds (the so called attack phase) of non-percussive instrument sounds. All these tend to be somewhat muffled by dynamic range compression.
To undo this effect, the Crystalizer uses a multiband compander (compressor/expander) with dynamically adjusted compression/expansion. Its main function is to detect transients and to increase their relative volume level. As a consequence of enabling the Crystalizer, the signal is altered, and whether the result improves upon the input audio is purely a matter of perception and can depend on the type of audio being played.
