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?

  • Lower than expected sound output from A100

    Hi.
    I have recently bought a Satellite A100 PSAA9E and have been pretty disappointed with the low sound output from it.
    It's currently set to the highest volume level and is nowhere near the level I would expect.
    Is this normal for this machine? All advice appreciated.
    Thanks.

    Hi
    Well, its not easy to say what a low level is because its your own perception.
    You know that the notebook speakers are not very powerful speakers because of the size and you can not compare it with other speakers.
    But nevertheless; did you check also the settings in the control panel -- Sound and Audio devices?
    There you can set the different sound controls to max. Maybe then you will notice a difference.

  • Low sound/volume output

    After applying the updates (iTunes(6.02) & OS X (10.4.4)) the volume on my iMac seems to be a lot lower than it was before. I now have to turn the volume up more than half way to get the same output I used to get when the volume was only turned up a quarter of the way.
    Has anyone got any ideas please???
    Things I have checked/tried so far:
    * Reset PRAM
    * Checked output volume in applications (mainly iTunes - also turned off sound check which is working by increasing the volume but that doesn't help because it was on before all the updates and the volume was louder)
    * I'm running my own speakers via the headphones socket, checked the connection which is fine
    * Checked the volume on the external speakers which has always been near Max
    * As a last resort I have tried repairing permissions etc but the volume is still LOW
    Really appreciate any input.
    Thanks

    I think it adjusts the sound with the 10.4.4 update, mine did the same thing and just tonight I found the problem. Go to System Preferences -> Sound -> Output Volume at the very bottom, mine was turned all the way down. Check it and see if yours is down as well.

  • Bad sound and low subwoofer output on Audigy 2 zs with 5.1 5

    Hi,
    I am getting very very low subwoofer output on my Audigy2 ZS with 5. 5200.
    To test furthter, i did the follownig
    play mp3,
    2 output is from front speakers
    3 very very low subwoofer output
    4 to confirm, removed green (front) black (read) cabled from sound card and can confirm a very very low subwoofer output
    earlier with Li've! 5. every thing was working great.
    what could be wrong?
    i think Audigy 2 zs is a bad card and is a marketting hype.
    is it that we need a different kind of cable to connect Audigy2 zs with 5. 5200? ( i am using the cable which came with my 5200 ofcourse)Message Edited by kotecha on 2-3-2004 07:23 PM

    Hi Jeremy,
    Thanks for the response.
    I have tried all the thx console setup and bass levels.
    Its not affecting the subwoofer output very much.
    <Infact the subwoofer output is so low that i have to go and put my ears on the subwoofer to see if its producing sound.
    <FONT color=#333399>Remember that with Li've! 5. (SB0220) which also i have with me is giving all the great results. so the problem is not with speakers but with the sound card and i want my costly card (zs) to work.
    (i still believe the 5. 5200 3 pole cables (green, black, yellow) which we attached to the sound card and speakers are not compatible with Audigy2 zs as zs needs 4 pole cables - but i have not verified this still as it will be a long time consuming exercise - purchasing 4 pole pins and soldering here and there on cables and poles and testing testing)
    Also, why the bass boost controls (level and cutoff frequency) in bass boost are disabled? how to bring them to enabled state?
    Also, in thx console setup (calibration page) , its not SAVING the changes which i make to Distance, Level and Angle. Why is that so?
    To help you further in understand my problem please note that i HAVE updated all the software to its latest versions by doing the software AutoUpdate from creative support site.
    So i am having atleast 3 issues now
    <. VERY VERY low subwoofer output while playing mp3 on audigy2zs with 5. 5200(this is my major concern)

  • ASIO Low Latency Driver sound output is bad?

    My Notebook comes with "build-in" asio drivers called "Generic Low Latency ASIO Driver". Further there is ASIO DirectX FullDuplex Driver and ASIO Multimedia Driver.
    Sound card is: IDT High Definition Audio CODEC.
    Running Win7 x64 (HP ProBook 6550b).
    All drivers are the most recent ones.
    Problem: 'Generic Low Latency ASIO Driver' sound output is much worse than using the other ones (there the sound is really great in both of them, but they have way to much latencies, so I cannot use them in cubase or any other music daw).
    So I'd like to use the (standard build-in) Generic Low Latency ASIO Driver. But the sound is much worse in contrast to the other drivers! It sounds a bit like a phaser or gramophone.
    Just to clarify: there are no glitches or stuttering in any case. Just the sound-"quality" is that messed up...
    I'm getting really upset about this. Tried the recent version of the ASIO4All 2.10 driver, but the problem remains! The sound with asio4all is exactly as bad as with the buildin Asio Low Latency Driver.
    How on earth can I achieve low latency with good sound in Cubase? Has anyobne experienced things like this before, or might there be any fix for this?

    Well, it's just the standard driver that comes with my notebook, named HP ProBook 6550b.
    http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/SoftwareDescription.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&prodTypeId=32...
    I did not take control over the buildin audio driver installation, because win7 installs these drivers innately.
    The problem does not only occure in Cubase, but in any music tool/program/player where I set the driver to low latency (which obv does not make sense in others than cubase, but for testing I found out that it is not an application related problem).
    It is really strange. The soundcard seems to provide real asio, but the low latency sounds as bad as the "pretending" asio4all. hm...

  • Mini Sound Output

    I have a Mac Mini and I have hooked up the sound output to my JVC Home Theatre systems so I can play iTunes through it. The problem is that the sound level is very low even with all the outputs turned up to max. I need to have the JVC up to near max volume to get a reasonable sound output.
    Do I need a preamp or something between the two. Any suggestions ?
    Thanks

    Steve,
    You are correct that a phono output requires an pre-amp. However, in this case it probably is the type of connector used, a.k.a RCA plug. The mini output should be around line level (depending on the various settings for the output level) and indeed plugged into an AUX input. If a phono input was used, the sound would be very loud and distorted because phono signal levels are significant lower than line levels. I wonder if the audio input (with the mini) is selected when the original poster plays his iTunes.

  • 10.4.10 Update lowers sound output

    Hi-
    I know that this is probably on the bottom of the problem list but here it goes:
    The 10.4.10 update has lowered the output volume on my iMAC.
    On one volume bar ( and subsequent thereof ) the sound output is significantly less than it used to be in 10.4.9.
    I believe that 10.4.8 also had this issue.
    Has anyone else experienced the same problem?

    Hi
    Have a look at http://www.macfixit.com/ (scroll down to Audio Issues).
    It's strange. Before 10.4.9 came out, many people used to complain that the sound was too tinny. Apple listened & boosted the lower end of the volume scale (left upper volume alone).
    Were people happy? Seemingly not, though I was. Many now complained that it was too loud, maybe Apple listened again & put it back to where it was.
    I searched Discussions for volume problem & got this:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=4765081
    Did you repair permissions after the update? Have you tried downloading, & running, Combo updater to see if that makes a difference?

  • After updating to 12.1.2.27, songs play, but without any sound output to internal iMac speakers

    So i updated to 12.1.2.27 and songs 'play', but without any sound output. Checked my audio settings and had it at Internal speakers. Checked the speakers (they work, at least for YouTube vids), restarted machine, etc and no audio output from iTunes. Any suggestions? Am I missing something?
    Thanks in advance

    Try unchecking Sound Enhancer and Sound Check in your Preferences under Playback
    Sound check may have reduced everything to a low output level inadvertently.

  • IDT High Definition Audio CODEC v. 6.10.6395.​0 Upon installati​on I have very low audio output

    IDT High Definition Audio CODEC v. 6.10.6395.0.  5/21/ 2012
    Upon installation I have very low audio output!   Screen Shot    Screen Shot 2
        I have tried:
    un-installing and reinstalling the drivers.
    Installed the original drivers via HP's website sp53222 for my particular model.  HP  Pavilion HPE  h8-1070t
    Any suggestions? would be greatly appreciated.  It would appear IDT who I also emailed and they never responded is responsible for a codec pack that is not fully functional with this motherboard.
    was wir lieben meistens nicht kriegen

    Did you access the Catalyst Control Center in programs and look at the latest updates for your graphics card and make sure you didn't download the audio drivers they self install and are checked automatically each time you attempt an update for the card.
    Did you right click on the speaker in the system tray and go into recodring devices make sure everything is setup propper there sometimes they too can change.
    I'm familiar with cakewalk but never used it on Win7 its been many years since I played around with that. If you are using the onboard audio card and it has worked before and not now if I were in your situtation I would attempt to reisntall the dirvers via device manager they do sometimes become corrupt especially if you picked up any malware that was removed by your antivirus software due to the drivers and malware both reside inwindows\system32.
    After the reisntall of the drivers if the issue is not resolved I would upgrade the audio card with a  PCIe x1 component such as:
    Creative Labs SB1040 PCI Express Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio Sound Card
     http://www.amazon.com/Creative-Labs-SB1040-Express​-Blaster/dp/B000W7PNZI/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1357​...
    After I paid for a real soundcard with Recording: 24-bit/96kHz and Sound Output Mode - 7.1 and bypassed my onboard audiocard I never had any issues again. My onbaord worked too in the begining for certain things than stopped mysteryously and the reinstallation became ineffective after a while so I decided the money for the tower was invested mainly in the CPU i7 the RAM and HDD.
    *** Note if you did install the audio drivers for the graphics card you will have to change the onboard audio in the BIOS from automattic to enabled. Otherwise you will have no sound at all. So never take the audio drivers for the graphics card unless you need them for DVR recording or something. The PCIe audio cards are never effected by this however only the onboard audio. Another reason onboard is a cheap way to go and HP bundles it as cheap as it can my friend.
    Good Luck again!

  • MuVo V100 suddenly distorts sound output, hates vocalists

    9MuVo V00 suddenly distorts sound output, hates vocalists Greetings. I have a MuVo V00, which until quite recently has worked according to specifications as desired. After a period of nonuse, upon reinstatement it showed a global distortion in sound output, resulting in--impressi'vely--vocal frequency-range portions of files to be suppressed. Never mind that some music was improved in this way--it is an error that needs rectification, and unfortunately MuVo V00 models are past the End of Service Life.
    I have downloaded the firmware patcher, and reapplied the latest firmware (which I had already had on the device, but consensus in various problem threads here leads one to believe that refreshing the firmware is a borderline panacea). No good. Swapped batteries on a hunch, no good. Swapped headphones, no good. Checked the files that are actually on the disk, they sound like they ought when played through the computer's means. I'm low on ideas, and the last person who asked this question here did not receive a reply. Anything spring to mind?

  • After upgrading to iOS 5.1, the sound output works abnormally.

    After upgrading to iOS 5.1, the sound output (the 3.5mm output) works correctly only when Apple provided headphones or certain headphones are plugged in. Others cause the iPod to produce sort of phased out sound with lots of digital, low-quality sounding artifacts. Other headphones have no problems since they work fine when plugged into my MacBook.
    Anyone having similar problems? Solutions?

    Could be due to a defective headhone jack in the iPod that just coinsided with the iOS update.
    However, to rule out a software cause, try the following.
    - 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.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory defaults/new iPod.
