Low sound from iSight

iWeb makes it fun to record short movies and upload them to the intarwebs. My iSight would be ideal for this. The picture works fine but the sound is too low. I have the iSight about 2-3 ft away. The sound input gain is up to the maximum. It works fine for iChat.
Is there a sound input setting within iMovie which I have missed?

I've heard of it but I already have Garage Band if I just want to record sound. It's the sound with the movie which I'm looking for here.
If I record with QuickTime then the sound is fine. Still playing around here.

Really low sound from rear left spea

I have 5. headphones and when i have them pluged into my xtreamgamer i barly get any sound from my rear left speaker, i know it works because if i plug it in my basic MB soundcard it works fine. Is this a known problem or a fix for this?

I've installed the latest drivers, made sure the the jack is plugged in right (theres only one, that comes from the Monitor or the headphones). The CD only has an installation guide, and i know onboard sound is disabled because i never had one in the first place after a recent reformat. and before that reformat sound came out from both sides normally, so i know something is wrong with the sound card.
EDIT: i just did a random tests, and i found out that the right speaker is working, but it is playing extreamly low. i had to blare up my volume up to 00% and i bearly heard it. i've checked the playback control, and played around with it and still have same problem.Message Edited by Bigs80 on --200606:49 AM

Very, very low sound from MSI K8N SLI Platinum

The sound from my MSI K8N SLI Platinum nForce 4 is so low that i must set the volume control on max and the speakers on max to hear anything. I tried other speakers with the same result. The speakers are amplified.
What can i do?

Well for a start you could search the forum as this problem is now well known. I'm not getting at you but I know how frustraing it is wanting someone to respond with an answer, and you don't have to wait if the problem has already been discussed!
The problem is that MSI decided to specify that the 24 pin supply must have -5v to support the creative chip. This is in contradiction to atx 2.2, and other PSU specs for 24pin supplys, which say the pin in question is NC (no connection).
What you need is a dual standard 20/24 pin supply.
Theres is a FAQ about this on the diamond forum, but I'm not sure if unregistered Platinum SLI users can read them anymore!
According to the FAQ MSI are promising US diamond users the chance to RMA their diamond boards when modified boards whcih don't require the -5v supply are availble. This isn't much use to us european Platinum SLI users.
I have a Tagan 480w which is dual standard 20/24 pin supply.

No video or sound from iSight

I have a frustrating problem ! My external iSight camera has stopped working, ever since I moved from a PPC G5 to an Intel Mac Mini. I did actually have it working for a while, but I must have changed something and now nothing I do will get it to work again.
I have tried isolating the problem by removing other Firewire devices - the camera is always correctly recognised no matter where I plug it in; System Profiler shows it as present, and it is shown as available as a video or sound source. The problem is that when I actually try to use it, I just get blank (black) and no sound input.
If I plug the camera into another machine, it is recognised and works OK !
I'm sure this must be a software conflict, but I don't know what with. Console logs just show similar messages from any application that tries to use the camera, saying that it's unable to open the source for input. I'm suspecting that some 3rd party plugin or driver is being loaded and crashing out - perhaps because I migrated over from a non-Intel machine (I did a clean install, and ran the migration assistant).
Any suggestions how to find the culprit ?
Powermac G5 Dual 1.8 Mac OS X (10.4.2)

Phew - got it working, but don't ask me how !!
I did a fresh install onto the internal HD (I already boot from an external one, see below). No dice. So I unplugged everything, and plugged in just the iSight.
I have a LaCie external HD which also works as a Firewire and USB hub. With this unplugged, the camera worked on the fresh install. I then re-plugged in the firewire leads for the hub, and connected the camera to the hub. Rebooted (****, OS X boots fast on a fresh install on the Intel machines !). Still working. Then I plugged in the USB leads for the hub, still working. Which is strange, because that's exactly the configuration in which is WASN'T working a few moments before ! I then rebooted into my original system (on the external FW disk), and it's STILL working.
Now this is really strange, because this is the config in which it really wasn't working before. All I can figure is that somehow connecting via Firewire first, rebooting, and then USB somehow tells the hub to work correctly as a FW hub. But this doesn't make too much sense, because other external HDs I have still worked fine before - it was only the iSight that wasn't working.
The only other thing I can think of is that in the process of doing this, I moved a small plastic photo frame that I have that was sat ontop of the mini. The thing with this frame is that it's 2 bits of perspex held together by magnets. They are only small, but I wonder if there was some interference caused by the tiny magnets that somehow effected the Firewire connection (but only for the iSight ?). Anyway, that's staying off the top of the mini for now !
I'm not sure if this explanation will ever help anyone else, but it does give you an idea how to isolate a problem. What I did was isolate the OS (by doing a fresh install), isolate the hardware (by unplugging it all, and selectively re-plugging it), and isolate apparently unrelated external influences (by removing the picture frame). If you're having strange problems with your computer, be methodical, and you will probably isolate the cause and fix it !

Low sound from my macbook speakers

my speakers sound got pretty low can any one hlp me

I got it working. I had to go to Applications > Utilities > Audio Midi Setup and play around with the settings for the HDMI connection in there. My setting was at 96,000 hz and wasn't working but when I switched it to 48,000 hz it worked perfectly. Not sure how this got changed as I had never opened this app before fixing this setting. Found it in a similar thread so seems to be happening with the update.

Very low sounds from iPad mini

Is anyone concerned about the lack of volume on the iPad Mini?

Use powered Bluetooth speakers e.g. Bose Soundlink

I have the same problem. Sound is low coming from the original tape, yet it sounds fine on the mac with external speakers or ear phones, yet when i play it thru the internal speaker, cant hear it at all. if i make a dvd from the video and play it in a set top dvd player if i turn the tv volume up all the way it is there, but i can barely hear it. i can export it to garageband, then to itunes, then play it on another computer just fine, loud and clear, but when i send it back to the video and render the video the sound is very low again.
have you found any way to help this?

Low and unclear sound from headphone HP Pavilion G6 2228tu

laptop hp pavillion g6 2228TU OS windows 8 pro 64 bit
every thing was working fine.. but from last 2-3 days i faced a problem of low and cracking sound from headphone ..
laptop speraker are working fine .. but when I connect headphone to audio port .. sounds comes out to be very low and unclear.
I tried headphone with my desktop and mobile but it was working fine.
I called HP custmor support.. they gave a link of sound driver.. i updated sound driver but no solution comes out..

Hello Deepak-Kumar,
You’re having a problem with the sound not be very loud.
Go to device manager and uninstall the IDT audio.
Do not restart the computer.
Now install the updated sound driver.
Since it has not been to long since the problem started, you can run a system restore.
This will take the system back to when everything was working correctly without affecting your personal files.
Here is a link on how to do a restore.
Let me know how everything goes.
Have a good day.

When I call someone using FaceTime from my mac, they can see me but no hear me. Is there something I need to do to make this happen? I also have an iPad 2 and FaceTime works great on it if I call somebody. Why no sound from my mac FaceTime using a mac pro

When I call someone using FaceTime from my mac, they can see me but not hear me. Is there something I need to do to make this happen? I also have an iPad 2 and FaceTime works great on it if I call somebody. Why no sound from my mac FaceTime using a mac pro and isight camera, mike combo.
If I use google it works. If I use Ichat, it works. If I use skype it works.

This sounds like something similar to https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3388112?start=105&tstart=0.
Try turning down the speak volume (System Preferences->Sound->Output->Output Volume) or the microphone gain (System Preferences->Sound->Input->Input Volume). Do this on both sides of the call.

Sometimes my iphone 5S produces low sound even on full volume level. Then i do restart it. But i am not sure where exactly the problem is? Need help.

Hi saiyed adil,
Thank you for contributing to the Apple Support Communities.
It appears that your iPhone 5s sometimes produces low sound, but a restart corrects it.
It can take some time to isolate and resolve intermittent issues like this one, and I'd recommend going through the steps in this guide the next time it occurs:
If you hear no sound or distorted sound from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch speaker - Apple Support
All the best,

Clicking/tickling sound from hard disk

my macbook pro is making a slight, low tickling sound from right side of trackpad, probably the hard disk. this freaked me out, should I be worried ? I heard it on other laptops, but it's getting really frequent today, is it faulty ?
Message was edited by: phantom 3444

I've got a new Macbook Pro 13" for less than 2 weeks. After a few days of the 1st week, i noticed the "click" sound (occurs every 30 second) from the bottom right of the MBP. I thought it's hard disk problem hence i call Apple and sent it to the authorized repair center. They checked and they ordered a hard disk replacement (not sure if they agree if it's a hard disk failure). I've waited for a week but was impatient, so i decided to get a new Western Digital 500gb 5400RPM HDD and the MBP back without the replacement hdd from Apple.
The result, no sound during installation of Snow Leopard but after using it for one day, the click sound came back. I'm pretty sure it's not a hard disk faulty issue. Can anyone advise on how to solve this ? I've read that it may be due to the hdapm issue, but does anyone notice this problem too ? Thanks.

Hi bunjamin,
just go to BlackBerry World, and update all your apps including BBM.
