Mic too sensitive

I'm using a CAD u3 usb mic to do some radio drops and I can't this thing to act right. The mic is too sensitive. I've tried all that I know but can't get it to sound right. Please help.

What do you mean by "sound right"? Are you getting loud pops, white noise, feedback, or something else? What have you tried so far? Also, do you think it's a problem with your mic or with Garageband? Try recording thru Quicktime or Audacity or some other audio program to figure that out.
If it's a mic problem, you might want to post over at a pro audio forum like Gearslutz or Recording.org where there are tons of experienced folks who can help you troubleshoot your specific mic.

Mic is too sensitive, calls constantly cut out. People tell me y loud, and it sounds like I'm in a tunnel. Any background noise, and call is completely cutting out. This occurs all the time, but more so using earphones with in cord mic.

I have iphone5 ios6 and the Mic is too sensitive, and calls constantly cut in and out. People tell me there is loud background noise and it sounds like I'm in a wind tunnel. Any background noise, and call completely cuts in and out and sounds as if call is dropping. This occurs all the time, but more noticeable while using earphones with in cord mic. I never had this problem with my old iphone4. Has anyone experienced this, and is there a setting that can correct this problem?

Same problem for me. So bad in fact that I can't really use my headphones for calls. I have tried it with several sets of headphones. My primary are the Bang and Olufsen headphones which were great with the previous iphone 4 and 3.
Apple please address this issue.

Earbud microphone is too sensitive - other party complains

I just upgraded from an iPhone 3GS to a 5S. Now whenever I use my headset to talk to people they all say that it sounds like I'm typing on my keyboard with a sledge hammer.
I've done some testing and sure enough, the microphone on the headset is insanely sensitive. It's literally louder for the other person hearing my keyboard clicks than it is for me.
This happens whether or not I use the earbud headset that came with the iPhone 5, or my more traditional headset that I always use here at my desk. I don't know the model # of that, but I've been using it for years without complaint. It's a regular across the top of the head, padded ear speakers and mic on a flexible stem with a foam wind suppressor.
Is there any way to get into the settings of the headset microphone sensitivity?
Could it somehow be possibly related to the fact that this phone is in an Otterbox? I suppose the box could theoretically be blocking some sort of noise cancellation input on the phone itself. This box is heck to get off.
Hmm..... I see upon getting ready to his post that there's an update to the OS. I'm on 7.02 and there's a 7.03 available. One of the fixes listed is related to [Fixes an issue that could cause VoiceOver input to be too sensitive]. I wonder if that's the issue? Will post this message, update, and post back.
Thanks,
Paul

I've never had that problem with my first iPhone which was the 4 then the 4s then the 5 and now the 5s, but no offense to apple (my friends tell me that I'm a fanboy) I use the Bose MIE2 and I've beeen using it for 3 years now and love it.
It's an investment, but well worth it. I also use the Bose bluetooth headset series 2 and for noise cancellation the Beats studio. Again, all investments but no problems with those.
I apologize if this doesn't help you? Have you tried going to an apple store to let them know about your complaint?

Logitech bluetooth mouse too sensitive

Hello!
Well, I have a bluetooth, Logitech Notebook mouse. I'm not sure of the exact model number, but I believe it's the V270, as in this mouse:
http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/downloads/software/US/EN,crid=1792,contentid=1 1016,osid=9
I linked to the driver "download" page - that is, if there was one. True, it works just fine with OS X's built in drivers, but it's way too fast. I have moved the mouse sensitivity to the second-to-lowest point in the OS X mouse prefs pane, but it's far too fast and imprecise. If I move it to the lowest point, it's far far too slow. WIthout a logitech driver, I'm kinda stuck between having a bluetooth mouse that's too sensitive, and a Microsoft USB mouse that's a bit uncomfortable (a bit too big). My Powerbook didn't come with a mouse.
Speaking of which, I have a PowerBook 15" 1.67 G4 model, running OS 10.4.8, with built in bluetooth. I have it sitting on top of my 3/4" inch thick desk - made out of particleboard - and the mouse on the tray just below. the mouse is less than a foot from the PowerBook's optical drive, to the lower right, so's probably not an issue with bad reception.
Does anyone have an idea of how to lower sensitivity? A third-party plugin? A terminal command? Automator? Something?
Thanks a bunch,
-Dan

Woah, that was fast!
Yes, I've tried that download. It seems to be looking for a USB connection, such as one of those mice with a USB transmitter. It says "No Logitech Device Found"
That's the problem.
Both Macupdate and the logitech site link to the same program, BTW.
I'll look into Steermouse and USB overdrive, but again, No USB connection at all, since it connects directly to the built-in-USB card.
Thanks for the fast response,
-Dan
Oooh! Look at that! It's snowing! Again! (sigh....)
I'm ready for spring now....

Shake too sensitive?

Is there any way to deal with an iPad 2 whose "shake" sensor is too sensitive?
Simply typing on it is enough to trigger a "shake" response which undos what you just typed.
I am not asking about how to disable the shake sensor, but how to adjust it to make it less sensitive to unintended invocation.
Evidently, it has been this way out-of-the-box (ie, a few months), but the person using it didn't realize that it was not normal until they were typing on mine.

Wow. I did not even know that there was a shake to undo. Learn soething every day. But i notice your profile says you are on 4.3. It may be that they tweaked that with the more recent software upgrades.

Clicking on touchpad too sensitive, how to change..

I recently bought a Dell XPS 15 9530. I want to change the touchpad sensibility to clicking, as it is too sensitive, but I can't find this option in control panel --> mouse --> "dell touchpad".
I'm NOT looking for a way to change the sensitivity to moving the cursor, that one I can find, but clicking to select etc on the touchpad. What happens all the time is when I want to just move the cursor the touchpad believes I'm clicking and I accidentally select files/moves them etcetc..
Sorry for not being able to explain this better, english is not my first language.

Hi,
If the machine is on windows 8,
under the Windows 8 settings app (-> PC and devices -> Mouse and touchpad). This is apparently configurable only in the settings app, and not anywhere under the Control Panel.
Regards

Remove distortion from mic too close to mouth?

Are there any recommended settings for removing the fuzziness from a tape recording (talking narration), where the person is has the mic too close or is too loud for it or both? The voice is pretty clear but the high pass filters aren't quite removing the fuzz from the maxing out of the levels.
Thanks
Jeff

That's one of the hardest noises to eliminate, you'll have to try setting a noise print by isolating the noise alone in a segment and then reducing noise. The caveat is if the actual vocal pattern tails into distortion and it's not separate anything you do will generally just leave it sounding worse. But try reducing noise.

The new 'improved text selection feature' is too sensitive.

The new 'improved text selection feature' is too sensitive. It tends to highlight a whole page whenever i try to highlight just a single line. And then it keeps on crashing!
Please fix!

Could you please share your pdf file with us at [email protected] so that we can investigate this issue?

Apple mouse scrolling is too sensitive in Yosemite

I've use a wired USB Apple mouse with scroll ball (A1152) on my iMac 27", and since upgrading to Yosemite, the mouse scrolling has been way too sensitive and doesn't allow any fine adjustment of scrolling speed/acceleration in system preferences. In the Mouse preference pane, the 1st position on the Scrolling slider is way too slow–a full scroll of the bar down moves about 1/4 of a full webpage at native resolution with very slow acceleration. The 2nd slider position is not any faster than the 1st. The 3rd slider position accelerates way, way faster, and scrolls a distance of about 8 full pages using a moderate flick of the scroll ball. At this high sensitivity, I need to scroll fairly carefully to move only one page. In a finder window with 500 items, it accelerates fast enough to move from top of the list to the bottom with less than one full finger swipe of the ball at moderate speed. Any setting from 3-8 on the Scrolling slider is the same speed and acceleration and is way too fast to use in a well-controlled manner. The behavior system-wide and is the same in any browser (Safari, Firefox, Chrome). This is nothing like how it behaved in OS X Lion through Mavericks over the past four years. Also, I can set the scrolling slide to the 3rd position, close system preferences, and go back in to find that it has set itself to the 2nd position, but the scrolling behavior is that of the 3rd position until I move the slider again.
I've trashed some .plist files from ~/Library/Preferences/ that I thought would reset things (com.apple.driver.AppleHIDMouse.plist and others) upon logout/login, but the behavior persists. I've tried a few pieces of software to try to override mouse settings, and while they will affect the mouse tracking speed and acceleration, they don't work well at controlling the scroll speed. I've reset the PRAM and SMC. I've created a new user account. Nothing has allowed usable adjustment of scroll speed/acceleration of the Apple mouse.
Any suggestions on how I can regain in Yosemite the usable adjustment of scroll speed/acceleration that were in all previous OS versions would be appreciated.

Try setting the scroll wheel scaling manually, by running the following command in the Terminal and then logging out and then back in to re-load the settings:
defaults write -g com.apple.scrollwheel.scaling -float VALUE
In this case, try values of 1, 0.5, 0.25, etc, decreasing in half each time to see how the scroll wheel sensitivity responds, and then use the one that works best. Alternatively, you can use the system preferences to set the sensitivity to the two values you have used so far, followed by running the following command between each to see what the value is for each:
defaults read -g com.apple.scrollwheel.scaling
Then you can determine some intermediate value to use, and use the first command above to set it to that value (again followed by logging out and then back in so the value will load).

Buttons too sensitive

After the latest update, the buttons on the screen of the phone while telephoning are far too sensitive. For instance, it goes to Facetime acccidently by being too near to my cheek/ear. Is there some way to make the buttons less sensitive? Thank you

Hello there Dr. Dave,
It sounds like your proximity sensor is not turning the screen black to prevent buttons from being pressed. I recommend the troubleshooting from the article named:
iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2802
Screen won't lock or go black when answering calls
Verify mute or speaker have not been activated, just prior to placing your ear over the receiver.
While on a call hold your hand over the top third of the display, and verify that the screen is locked or goes to sleep.
Try turning iPhone off and then on again.
If the issue persists, I would next close all the running apps on the phone:
iOS: Force an app to close
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
Double-click the Home button.
Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
Swipe the app up to close it.
When you have done that and restart the phone and test the issue again:
iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the very best,
Sterling

Use Trackpad to zoom in and out - Too sensitive in Safari 4

Hi, I just installed Safari 4 three days ago. Without changing any settings, now I found out that when I use trackpad to zoom in/out the font, it responses too sensitive than it did in previous Safari. It jumps up/down at least two levels every time I try to adjust the font size. It is not that controllable anymore.
Has anyone else noticed this? How do I fix this? Thanks!

Hi
Welcome to Apple Discussions
I have the same problem on my MacBook Pro. The zoom feature is way too sensitive for my liking, however, there is no way at the moment to control it. As this is a Beta version, these oddities will occur. Hopefully, when Safari 4 is released in final version (no date yet announced) this problem will be fixed.
As I previously did, let Apple know what you are experiencing with the trackpad via the Safari Menu>Report Bugs to Apple. If you want to go back to Safari 3, use the Uninstaller that's included in the Safari 4 Downloads package. This is the only safe way to go back to Safari 3.

Touchpad too sensitive on G580

Friends
My wife is using a Lenovo G580 with Win 8.1 and she complains that the touchpad is way too sensitive. Sometimes she hardly touches the surface, or even just touch the side of the touchpad and the computer does weird things. Is there a way to de-sensitive it? Or, can it be de-acitvated? The latter is not a good option as she uses it on her lap often and cannot use an external mouse at that time.
Thanks
Carl

Hi Calle2014,
Welcome to the Lenovo Community.
As per the query we understood that you are facing issue with touchpad very sensitive in your Lenovo G580 laptop.
As you have mentioned that the touchpad is very sensitive please go to control panel select mouse.
Select pointer option tab, under pointer option tab tick on enhance pointer precision and also set pointer speed to minimum or to the neutral and click on apply and ok. Now check for the issue.
Hope this helps! Do post us back for further queries.
Best regards,
Ashwin.S

Some keys becoming way too sensitive

Hello - 9105 pearl user here
Have had my bb several months now but these past few weeks have noticed that a couple of keys have become way too sensitive - the 0 and the 2 keys which are adjacent to each other down the middle of the phone if that helps.
forever when texting these two keys will double key at the slightest touch - very annoying with the 0 as it puts a full stop in followed by a space. It also doesnt help that my passkey has both these numbers in and i have to be extra careful when keying this in !
The phone been fine for 6 months or so but I can't seem to stop this happening. Have removed battery and altered key rate but has no effect
anyone else had this or got any ideas ?!?
cheers

hello,
the 0 key and the 2 key are not adjacent to each other. Please check:
that being said, I suggest you go to your carrier helpdesk and have your device changed while you still have a warranty.

I just downloaded Lion. I noticed on the mail app that there is no down arrow on the righthand slider? The slider bar is way too sensitive.

Hi Anne,
Sad but true, no more scroll arrows anywhere... why? Because if you can't use something easily on an iPhone it's gone from iOS7

Magic wand too sensitive

Recently upgraded to CS3 (from CS1) and suddenly I'm finding the magic wand tool worthless. It's way too sensitive. If I try to use it to select just the contiguous black part of my image, for instance, it's selecting almost the entire image, everything from black all the way to 50% values or less. This is with my tolerance setting at 2! It was never like this before.
Is there a new default setting somewhere that's causing it to sample from a larger area, maybe? When I'm clicking on the black area, is the wand sampling everything in the vicinity and trying to select everything in that entire range? Whatever it is, how do I change it? Tolerance has absolutely no effect on what it selects, now. The tool is simply of no value the way it's working now.

Thank you SOOoooooo Much!
The eyedropper tool connected to the wand? How would I know that?
Is it really that hard to add it's own drop down to select the selection size.
Adobe, if you read this, listen. The amount of excise to switch tools, change that setting, then come back to the tool I was just on is not worth the 10min saved during implementation to only have one drop down for this.
You basically invented the adaptable toolbar with butcons, please, please use them.
