Microphone sounds garbled when I sing and play guitar.

Hello, I just purchased a lenovo G505 and when i try to record when i play guitar and sing it comes out all garbled and like there is water in the background. I tried it on skyp and it worked fine it seems it is picking up the guitar as background noise and makes it garbled... my voice sound ok. I also bought an external mic.... no difference.. I also tried different distances.. no luck... what can I do...???? thanks    J 

hi JilleeBreeze,
Welcome to the Lenovo Forums.
Can you try the following:
1. Disable Microphone Boost by opening Control Panel (icon Views) > Sound > Recording Tab. Select the Microphone that you're using then click Properties > Levels Tab.
   - Link to picture
2. Enable / Disable Audio Enhancements and observe
   - navigate to Control Panel (Icon Views) > Smart Audio and see if you can disable Microphone Noise Reduction, Echo Cancellation, etc.
   - Link to picture
Regards

    How do I record myself singing and playing and still be able to manipulate the volume of either the voice or the guitar? Or is that possible? I have a single mic.

    GarageBand cannot unix audio files and split them into separate tracks.
    Record the guitar and the vocals to separate tracks. If you only have one microphone, record both tracks separately, one after the other.

    Make sure all of the videos used in the project that is having that problem are from the same event. If they are from multiple events, move them all into one event.

  • My iTouch will not show movies, but they are showing on my iTunes.  When I try and play them through my iTunes it freezes on me and does not work.

    My iTouch will not show movies, but they are showing on my iTunes.  When I try and play them through my iTunes it freezes on me and does not work.  This problem only occurs whenever I am using my netbook.  It doesn't happen when I use a different computer.  I tried uninstalling and reinstalling itunes and am not sure what else to do from here. 

    You may have transferred all your songs, but your iPad is seeing the library as a different entity.

  • My ipod video 30gb's sound isn't working when I try and play music, however I can still hear the clicker?

    I just retrieved this old iPod from my room as when I got an iPhone I completely abandoned the iPod, I believe the model is a 30GB video.
    I can hear the clicker without headphones but when I plug my headphones in and play music, I can't hear anything, and this isn't a problem with the headphones because I have tried with several different types.
    Hope someone can help.

    Usually this is a good indication of a damaged headphone jack, meaning, you'll need to have your iPod serviced either by Apple or a third party repair company.

  • How do I set MacBook to an external display when the plug and play doesn't recognize it?  I am trying to set my Samsung 530 LCD as a monitor but HDMI and VGA cords (and the adaptor for them) doesn't seem to work.

    I have tried everything I can find on line but they all claim that the plug and play works, and they don't for me.  I tried the mini dvi to HDMI and a HDMI cord and that was not recognized no matter which unit I rebooted first.  I found someone who said that my Macbook might be too old for the HDMI technology so I returned the cords and went to the VGA cord and adaptor.
    I tried this first with the HDMI setup:

    Then I tried this with the VGA setup:

    I contacted Samsung support and they said I needed to set the display settings to external display on the mac.  I went to the display settings and moved the icon to my status bar.  When I click on search for displays or whatever it says (I'm not at my Mac right now) it does nothing.
    What am I missing?

    I am using MAC OSx 10.5.8 (9L31a) as my operation system.  The TV says "No signal.  Check connected device's power, cable connection and source selection."  Seems to me that that goes in hand with what the Samsung tech said about the Mac needing to be forces to use the external display.  But how do I do that?

  • ITunes crashes when I try and play a purchased music video

    This is a new problem and appeared out of the blue. Any suggestions how to fix?

    I'm having a similar problem (see thread below) - my purchased music videos used to play until I tried to move my library from my old PC to my new Mac. The restore kept failing as soon as a video file (.m4v) was encountered. Had to manually import blocks of music and avoid the videos. Now have my music again but iTunes just crashes when I try to play the music vids I bought from iTunes.

  • When I try and play music, it constantly fast forwards

    Hi everyone,
    I'm having some trouble with the Music app on my iPhone 4S.
    It started a couple of weeks ago, when the Play button would not work. It lit up to confirm it had been pressed, but there was no action.
    I upgraded to iOS6 last night, and now, when I try to play from the beginning of a playlist, it appears to rapidly fast forward through all tracks until the end, as if someone was constantly hitting the fast forward command.
    I've sone a home+power button reset but to no avail. Any thoughts or ideas?
    Thanks,
    Jono

    Yes.  iTunes wants a valid (non-expired) credit card.  Then check and make sure the 30.00 appears in your account (it should).  That money will be spent first assuming you purchase something that it can be used for (e.e., not a gift card).

    How did you get the songs on you iPad? My library contains over 18,000 songs in it and I have a portable hard drive that I use as a back up, not only for my music but for everything else on my computer. I accidentally deleted my library once and had to restore everything from scratch, so I learned to back everything up so in case the computer bites the dust, everything is on a portable drive, which I also take with me when I leave the house so also in case of a robbery and the computers are stolen, I have everything that is on them.

  • AC3 sounds garbled when played back through the asset window

    i have a 5.1 AC3 file i made with A.Pack with DVDSP3 (now using DVDSP4) and when i played the file back in my asset window via S/PDIF out on the Mac to a Dolby Digital Capable 5.1 amp (having the prefs in DVDSP set to SPDIF not default in the simulation pref window)...it sounds REALLY garbled.....i know what a raw AC3 file sounds like played back throught a standard amp (like a code-not being able to hear anything BUT that)...and the file i tried to play back was still barely understandable...but sounded like a robot. is this a bug or am i doing something wrong?

    Awesome! This fix worked for me as well. I too don't know what happened after my system had been working just fine for years, then today it was all garbled. All is well now. Thanks!
