Lack of Clarity, Low Bass on Headphones S55-B5280

I was using some Sony Pro headphones that I purchased for audio production on my new Toshiba laptop and noticed a dramatic difference in the clarity today. I ended up doing a complete recovery image and put it back to factory defaults because was working yesterday. This did not fix the problem. I don't know if it's a driver issue with the manufacturer or what. I did notice that when going into the enhancements section for the Conexant HD drivers that if I choose Loudness Equalization it would let me choose it and Enable it. However, if I go to DTS and try to make the sound better by changing any functions for the headphones, that part is checked but shows Disabled in the status below. No matter if I check it or not, it will not Enable that function. I can't get it to sound like it did yesterday so I am totally baffled. I just got this laptop on 4/12/15. Any ideas??

I do not think you will see more details or different attitude from Verizon. You will see amount of data used in a time period, but no breakdown to what sites or what connected device. Verizon, as with the rest, basically says you used it, you pay for it - doesn't matter how you used it.
What type of devices do you have connected. Do you turn off and disconnect devices when not in use? 20 GB is very little for home Internet in my experience. We go through about 20 GB every day on home Internet. 20 GB;month is only 682 MB a day which can be done in 20 to 30 minutes easily.
Too bad you didn't get in on the double data promotions when they were available. 30 GB was for $130, and all the upper GB levels were doubled. Hopefully they will have that again.

Low bass level after burning CD from iTunes.

I like lots of bass through my subwoofers when I'm driving. Unfortunately within the last 6 months or so, every cd I've burned through iTunes has low bass level. I can tell the difference when I compare an original cd to a burned cd. Is it normal for burned cds to have lower bass, or are there some options/preferences I haven't found yet that I can adjust the bass?
*Edit* Sorry, I just noticed that I posted this in the wrong section. Is there a way I can move it?

I couldn't find comprehensive solution for this. Could anyone please point me to the correct thread if solution is already available.
my details:

problem: Very low volume when headphone is connected.
Things: I have tried:
1. Headphone is fine. Works correctly on windows PC and on my iphone.
2. Tried system pref. volume is max.
3. Upon connecting headphone to MBP it is detected as headphone.
4. Tried Audio MIDI setup, settings seem to be correct 44.1KHz 2ch-16 bit
5. There is NO red light from headphone jack.
6 Tried poking toothpicks in to audio out but didn't help.
7 Tried creating new temp. admin user account but headphone low volume remains.
8. Tried safe boot - no joy.
9 Safe boot was followed by normal boot-> Ran Disk Util tried repair permission. No luck.

Can anyone point me to correct thread or provide the solution..
help is much appreciated.

I have the exact same problem. i have a macbook pro 13in (mid 2009) with extremely low volume coming from headphone jack. i brought the computer into my local apple store today and they diagnosed my problem as being the result of a faulty logic board. my laptop is out of warranty so they have to send it to the apple repair depot for 3-5 days. the charge is a flat $280 (tax not included). the solution seems extreme though and i hope i don't get any "kernel panicking" with a new board. i will update... also there is no accidental damge to my laptop whatsoever. the problem arrose 2-3wks ago

Extended Low Bass No

Hello,
I have the fatality card, absolutely love it!!! I purchased a buttkicker gamer and found a problem I am stumped on.
Problem: I have a constant clicking sound that is very faint. If I turn up the volume on my speaker system to near max is apparent. It is at about 240 beats per minute on the metrodome. The buttkicker pickes up the low bass signal and amplifies and the card is constantly broadcasting the signal making my buttkicker go nuts constantly, with no music or games playing.
Current comp configuration:
Motherboard: Lan Party NF4 SLI-D Processor: Athalon 3500+ Ram: 2 gig of Corsair Gaming Ram Video Card: Dual Nividia 7800GT's Sound Card: Sound Blaster XFI Fatality Hard Dri've: Dual Riad0 Raptors 74 gig each (Deticated) Storage Hard Dri've: 200 MB Western Digital Power Supply: Energinic 600 watt
NavGladiator

Figured it out
To make the Buttkicker Gamer work:
You need to enable Bass rediredt in the gaming console setting.
Man this thing THUMPS!!! Love this Fatality Card

[HELP] Changing LCD screens on a S55 B5280 Laptop for a higher resolution one

Hi!
I was wondering if there's any LCD screen that i can buy to replace the one that comes with the Toshiba S55 B5280, that can provide a higher resolution. It would be the first time that i've changed a LCD screen for one capable of more resolution.
Can someone help me on the subject? I don't need any "how-to" to do it, i just need to know which models that provide a higher resolution than 1366x768 are fully compatible with this particular laptop.
Thanks in advance.

ArchLinux is designed to run whether in VirtualBox or on a real machine.
If you have a TV connector plugged in it will chop some regular lines at the bottom to make up for the difference in TV resolution.
There are a couple of packages related to nvidia hardware, nouveau is one of them. Just do a pacman -Ss nvidia for possibilities of things you might need to install. Your nvidia hardware is a little newer, so probably nvidia is the package you'll need instead of nouveau.
Are you using X? When you install the proper xf86-video-* driver it shouldn't have any problems with X. If modesetting is turned off, then some resolutions may not be made available (especially in Gnome), so it is best to keep it turned on if at all possible (kernel default).

Really low volume on headphones with iPad mini iOS 8.2

Hello,
Problem is with an iPad mini running iOS 8.2. When I connect any headphone/earbud to my iPad mini I can't hear a thing. Actually the sound is not totally muted but really really really low, almost imperceptible. The headphones are fine -tried them on mac/pc/iPhone-. I've tried with different headphones (at least 5 different sets), tried adjusting the volume max-low-max (I can see volume bar on screen showing headphones), plugging unplugging the headphones -also plugging them very hard-, restarting the iPad by turning it off pressing and holding lock button and then sliding to power off, rebooting it holding lock and home button together. None of these have solved the problem. iPad speakers are fine. This issue happens with every app with sound: Videos, Music, YouTube, FaceTime, etc. I recently upgraded the software to iOS version 8.2. I'm sure this worked in the past.
Any help would be highly appreciated.
Thank you.
Laura.

Unless you've accidentally set a volume limit within music settings, there's probably a problem with your headphone jack. You should also try a complete restore of your iPad just incase. Otherwise, since you've tried everything else, it sounds like its a hardware problem

Lower sound quality / lower bass after upgrade to Windows 8

Hello, just upgraded to Windows 8 on my Pavilion m7.
Before, my audio quality was rich and bassy, using Beats Audio, and after the upgrade sounds poor and quite muted. No matter what I do, I cannot improve quality especially with the deep bass. I am using external speakers, not the ones built in laptop.
In order to troubleshoot, I did a factory restore back to Windows 7... sounded fantastic. When I redid a clean 8 install on top of that, back to the same lack of bass.
Has anybody else experienced something like this?

Hi Zerxiisiis,
Sorry to hear about your audio issue during the upgrade. I will be happy to assist you with that. There are a couple of things that you can try. The first is uninstalling your current audio driver. Uninstall it through device manager.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/hardware/ff553572(v=vs.85).aspx
Then download and install your audio driver again. I have included the link below.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/hardware/ff553572(v=vs.85).aspx
If that doesn't work you might just need to adjust your equalizer settings for your Beats Audio. I have included a link to a thread where a user has posted some good levels.

I have tried restoring the system but didnt worked. I have also tried going to Control Panel -> Sounds -> Speaker and Headphones -> Properties -- Everything is maxed there. But, no result.

I would like to take a moment and thank you for using the forum, it is a great place to find answers. For you to have the best experience in the HP forum, I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide First Time Here? Learn How to Post and More.
I grasp that your headphones were working fine until few days ago, when the volume became very low. The speakers are working fine. You tried a restore but that did not help.
Have you tried a different set of headphones or tried your headphones in a different computer?
Here is a link to Resolving Microphone and Line-in Problems (Windows 7).
Have you checked the port or headphone for damage?
I hope this has helped.

Low volume in headphone in iphone 4s.

I have an iPhone 4S, iOS 7.0.4 installed. The volume coming out from my earphone is significantly low comparesd to other iPhone 4S, this is creating a trouble. I'd also like to mention that, my loudspeaker is okay (checked), my earphone is okay (checked with other phon s), my iOS is running flawlessly. I restart my phone hundreds of times. I restored my OS with fresh firmware several times. My headphone port (3.5mm) is working flawlessly aside from the fact that, the volume level is approx 60% of oter same phones. I don't have a warranty.
Any kind of help, advice or suggestion will do. Thanks in advance.

this is a pain isnt it
I plug my beats into the iphone4s, I'm listening away, and then I get an SMS. I click close, coz I wont read that right now, and instantly my volume increases !!, but get this, as soon as the song is finshed and the next song plays, my volume reduces back down again. I need another sms to get my volume back up !!
So Im thinking, OK, the iphone wants to alert me with Chime - coz its a new SMS, raises its volume, but can neither sustain that volume through to my next song, nor if I unplug my beats and put em back in again.
*** apple, sort this out!!

Envy X2: Sound Levels Very Low on Keyboard Headphone Jack ...

... much louder/OK on headphone jack on the tablet when disconnected from keyboard. Is there a fix ? I've loaded the latest audio drivers. Also, seems like Beats doesn't "kick in" even though it's checked as ON in the Beats control panel. I can click it on and off and tell a noticeable improvement as if Beats wasn't on at all even though it was checked.
Any ideas ?

Yeah the sound is defective, I have already bitched about it, they seem to not care, I don't think they can do anything about it, it's just designed not to have good sound or even decent sound, the thing is to thin to allow for decent sound, they went for Form over function.
Also i think it uses a low cost horrible chipset, L2s Intel reltek Audio chipset, that would not be able to provide decent sound even in a full sized notebook, but not that I would know they wont tell us anything.
It's a nice Prototype device that needed more work before it was sold, the only thing that lets it down badly is the sound in my Opinion, that and dieing on me just after 30 days of ownership, maybe I can swap it for something that works ????

Extremely Low Bass Out

I'm currently using Logitech Z-5500 speakers and an Audigy 2 sound card.
The current problem I'm having with them is that the bass output is extremely low, and tweaking the settings (ie. Maxing bass bars on options and upping the bass crossover) does almost nothing to improve the bass.
This is not a connectivity issue as all channels are correct, and the bass unit is not broken because the speaker test works fine (the Logitech speaker test) and because, very bizarrely, when I set CMSS to stereo (I was gettig desperate and trying anything) the bass kicked in. As in really kicked in as it should do.
Any other CMSS settings resulted in a totally nerfed bass output. Can anyone suggest anyway that I may get a proper bass output without having CMSS to stereo? (I absolutely loathe CMSS as it borfs quite a few things for me)
Perhaps there's a way to stop creative settings interfering with bass?
The other thing I've noticed is that I didn't have this problem a few months ago. When I first got my speakers about 9 months ago, the bass was fine. When I bought a Xi-Fi card (soon after release) and promptly returned it, then re-installed the audigy, I think that's when the problem started.
I've tried totally un-installing the sound card and extras, all creative stuff followed by a manual uninstall of the Audigy WDM, and then re-installed the latest drivers, but to no avail.
I query whether:
The Xi-Fi drivers installed something on my PC that borks the bass that isn't uninstalled the usual way.
or
If there's a problem with the current audigy drivers, and if so where can I download the previous ones.
or
Acombination of the above.
Anyone had any similar experiences and/or solutions? (A forum search hasn't helped so far)

Wow, altering the search parameters slightly revealed a *massi've* number of bass problem threads. (Do any creative sound cards work as they should? This forum is rammed)
Anyway, couldn't find any threads which resulted in a good bass when CMSS stereo was enabled. I'm thinking there must be some hidden setting I can play with to fix my problem, especially as I used to have a good bass output!

No Bass in Headphones

I recently purchased a Toshiba Satelitte off of Best Buy, having purchased Toshibas prior, it was a no brainer, I never had a problem. Upon testing the headphones, I found the sound from the headphones was less than acceptable (I need the best sound to do my editing, and some music won't work without bass).
I went to Best Buy where they exchanged it for a newer, and better model. While it was faster, it had the SAME PROBLEM!
And NO, it's not the headphones, the headphones are high quality and work perfectly on all my other devices, and every headphone I put into the laptop won't fix the issue.
Can someone tell me how to fix it so my music/sound has bass?

WE HAVE SOLUTION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Third try to cusomter support was a charm. The tech had me reset the bios but that did not fix it. So here is the solution that does fix our problem.
On the right side where the new hidden menu is pull up the search icon. Type in DTS Sound and click on it. In there you will quicly find where you can adjust the bass, treble, voice, EQ, surrond, and bass boost for the internal, headphones, and external speakers. Be paitent with it for I am still setting it up for my taste. Already got this problem fixed on my daughters computer as well!

Nokia 5800 Low volume from headphones

Just wondering if anyone else thinks the volume for music playback, even when set at max, with earphones is pretty low? (Not exactly "Big On Sound"!)
Is there any way to change this?

For Bass:
- Select Bass Booster In Equalizer
- Select Loudness (On) in Settings
- Turn Stereo Widening OFF in Settings
Now turn up the volume and enjoy
For Loud Music:
- Select Default In Equalizer
- Select Loudness (On) in Settings
- Turn Stereo Widening OFF in Settings
Now turn up the volume and enjoy...

Volume too low on left headphones

I have had my iPod for about 3 months, and yesterday, it suddenly lowered the volume only on the left headphone. I have restored and updated the iPod, but it hasn't fixed the problem. I also increased the sound volume, etc. but that only made the right headphone too loud, and the left headphone only a little louder. I am concerned that there is something wrong with the jack -- but it is only 3 months old. I hope this isn't a sign that this purchase was a mistake... Any ideas?

Very Low volume from headphone output on iMac

Since upgrading my 2011 27" iMac to Yosemite, the sound output from the headphone jack has plummeted, to a point where I can hardly hear it through my external speakers. Before, it was deafening, now it is almost inaudible. Airplay output and the internal speakers seem unaffected. I have restarted, zapped the PRAM, checked Audio MIDI Setup, checked Sound Prefs, everything is turned up to the max, to no effect.
Any idea what might be happening here?

I also experience the same problem with my MacBook Pro 13" last gen. I haven't used my iPod's earphone with it for some time. I have noticed this problem since yesterday (4/6/2010). Beside resetting PRAM, repairing disk and its permission, plug and unplug the head jack, tried with different earphones, check the Audio Midi Setup; I also deleted all audio plist files in /Library and ~/Library folders (incase those preference files are corrupted). Those efforts fail to solve the problem.
Is this a problem caused by 10.6.3? I never have a problem while still using 10.6.2.
