Microphone, sounds like a rob

Sometimes, when i open voip programs like xfire/teamspeak/ventrilo to talk with people, they tell me that i sound like a robot, so i pop into the option menu to check and indeed, they have right. This only happens a few times, and often fix it self by restarting the voip program.
PC spec:
Vista x64
X-FI Xtrememusic
Asus P5K-E
4gb ram
8800gts 640mb
Anyone know what this can be? beside this robot like voice i get sometimes there is no other problem i have had so far. running the latest 0002 driver from the site.

Yeah I had the same mic problem when using those drivers, mic works fine with the older march release drivers, & I think with the may release drivers too......just not the 2.5.0002 version

MDR-10RBT - Bluetooth connection - microphone sounds like I am 100 miles away

MDR-10RBT - Bluetooth connection -
I have got these headphones connection to my laptop and they are showing up as connected as both a A2DP device and also a hands free headphone.
I have directed Skype to use the hands free device for the microphone but it sounds like I am stuck in a box 100 miles from the microphone.
Anyone else had this problem or have any ideas on how to fix?
Thanks

My microphone sounds like a robot/ underwater to other users.

Hi, whenever I join a call with my friends whether it be audio only or audio + video, my microphone becomes distorted and my friends cannot even make out a word that I am saying. This only occurs in the client version of Skype and when I use the web version, my audio is 100% clear and non-distorted. I have tested my mic on other programs and it is fine too. I have disabled my webcam mic so I know it is not that. I have a HyperX Cloud headset in case that helps solve anything. Thanks!

Skype needs some serious recoding ASAP...
This has been been reported to HP already by many users. :-(

Microphone sounds like under water since update

Me and my boyfriend both updated our phones a few months ago and since then when we have calls, people always comment one minute they can hear us, the next it's like we are under water and they can't hear a word, This is extremely annoying as we always have signal and it's only been an issue since update, Anyone else having same problem? We both have z1 compact, was told by Sony to repair software but we will lose stuff if don't save it and can take an hour but why should we have to do this when fault isn't ours?!

When using Skype my IPad sounds like ocean. This is not a problem when I am on FaceTime or using other apps with sound. Recently updated to newest IOS 7. First there was no sound for Kype and found that had to turn microphone sound on.

When using Skype my IPad 2 now sounds like the ocean and I can barely here my contact. This happened recently after IOS7 update. I did turn the microphone on for Skype as it was required after update. Now my sound is terrible but only a problem when using Skype video call. It is okay for FaceTime.

Thank you! Resetting resolved the issue with terrible sound when trying to use skype. Sounds much better!
I am not sure what all changed when reset was applied to settings --- assume it defaults back to basic settings. I have no idea what I had customized, so will slowly figure out. I have noticed several things. So far I had to add back my wallpaper and reenter password to get back on my wi-fi.
At least SKYPE is now audible.

I want to record a keybord connected by usb in an IMac and only sound like an ambient microphone. What is wrong?

I want to record a keyboard connected by usb port and only sound like an ambient microphone. What configuration is wrong? Thank you

The optimum choice is to format it ExFAT, but do so on the PC, not the Mac. Alternatively, you can make two partitions - one for the Mac; one for the PC. Partition the drive using GUID when you make the two partitions. Format one using Mac OS Extended, Journaled. Format the other on your PC using NTFS if you won't need to write to it from the OS X side or use ExFAT if you do.
Drive Partition and Format
1. Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to two. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Apply button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) you will use for Windows from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
5. Set the format type to MSDOS.
6. Click on the Erase button.
When you connect the drive to your PC reformat the PC volume to either NTFS or ExFAT.

Transition Sounds like Airplane Motor!!!

I am using the dissolve transition in iMovie and allowed iMovie to set the transition times automatically. It works fine in iMovie and when I import the movie into iDVD. However, when I watch the burned DVD on my DVD player, all the transitions sound like a motor or like someone is tapping on a microphone. The clips sound just fine. Has anyone run into this problem???
ps Is there a huge difference between Best Quality and Best Performance?

Hi
Best Quality is to use if Your movie/movies + menus add together to more
than 60 min but less than 120 min.
Best Performances is if Your total is less than 60 min.
Gbs not of any interest at all for iDVD.
When I make a movie in iMovie and want a transition betweren two clips:
- Switch in TimeLine so that it shows 1 videotrack (audio) + 2 extra audio tracks.
- Then select the clips (prior and after where You want the transition)
- goto Advance menu and down to Extract sound
- now apply the transition
Result: I get sound and transition right (at least)
There is a book I learned a lot from: David Pogue: The Missing Manual of iMovie HD (6) & iDVD HD
May be a Christmas wish ?

When I record video on my iphone 4 the audio sounds like it is muffled and is not as loud as it should be?

when I record video on my iphone 4 the playback of the audio sounds like it is muffled and is not as loud as it should be? I have had the phone for 2 years and the last time I had used it to record a video was in July of this year. The sound came out crisp and clear. Now when ever I play back videos the audio is muffled and at a lower volume than it should sound like. I have the volume set all the way up when I record and my hands are not covering the microphone and/or near to affect the audio playback.

It worked!!!!! Thank you. I didn't know there was a microphone at the top. I knew the hole was there but I didn't know what it was for. Thank you so much. \m/ ROCK ON!!

SB Audigy2 ZS PCI+Logitech Headset= Voice sounds like its under water

I tried using my Logitech Headset this evening on my desktop to communicate with my buds over mumble while playing BF3 and no matter how many settings I messed around with in both Win7 x64 or the mumble software my voice was crackled and distorted. Now I know for a fact my headset is not the problem, since I use it daily on my laptop at work to talk to people over Skype & GoToMeeting and I'm crystal clear and I even plugged it back into my lappy afterwards and listened to myself speak, and it was fine. The problem must be with the Sound Card. Is this something to do with the settings or is this a sign my card/drivers are bad?

Hi,
Disconnect your headset and just plug in a microphone and do a microphone recording. Playback what you have recorded, do you sound like you are underwater? That will narrow down if it's the sound card that's causing the problem. Also try running other games to see if same problem is happening.

Audio output using Logitech Clearchat Pro USB headset sounds like chipmunks

I use a Logitech Clearchat USB headset for online meetings daily. On my previous machine (Black MacBook 2GHz) the headphones and mic worked fine. I just upgraded to a new 2.66 Unibody MacBook Pro and while the microphone works fine but the audio in the headphones sounds like chipmunks. If I switch the audio output to the speakers, the audio sounds fine.
Logitech claims that since the drivers the headphones use are built-in, it's not their issue. I'm curious if anyone else has experienced this problem and how I might be able to get it resolved.
Thanks.

' orangehat I sincerely hope you (we?) get an answer on this one! I ordered exactly the same headset the same time I did my 17-inch MBP. Still waiting for everything to be delivered - so can't say as yet whether I have the problem too. Hoping not.
' Hoping there's an answer to your question anyways so I can get an idea of things before my kit lands (IF that EVER actually HAPPENS!!!)

8830 with softward upgrade, sounds like a transform when i am answering the phone.

So wild, when someone call and I hit the green button it sounds like a that sound the transforms make. OR sounds like someone is putting their microphone upto a speaker. I wonder if anyone is having this issue also. 8830 on Bell Mobility, just got the phone as an RMA.
PS- this is my 5th unit this year so I am trying to make sure its not a software issue before I lose it on Bell and RIM.

See earlier post re TINNY SOUND ON 8800 AFTER SOFTWARE UPGRADE.
I've had problems since upgrading 8800 software from ver 4.2, to ver. 4.5. So far, no help from BB (RIM) or Rogers.
Good luck.

Sounds Like Crap

I've been beginning to wonder what GB's real purpose is... I've recently purchased a Snowball Microphone $105.00 to go with GB because my band and I were simply utilizing the built-in microphone on my MacPro -- ugh, not good at all. It's much better now, but still not great quality. Sounds like the recording was out of a "garage". Obviously, I'm getting way too much interference (sound bouncing off of walls, windows, everything). What exactly am I supposed to do?? Having us individually record our parts seems like a royal pain and I only have one microphone and have been recording tracks on just one take (all together, not separately).
Also, I've been recording some simple acoustic stuff (guitars on two tracks and vocals on two tracks -- it sounds horrible, once I add in vocals, it completely screws up the overall sound -- what's the deal with that?? It's not clean, just annoying. If anything sounds good, it should be the vocals considering I have a $105 microphone plugged directly into my Mac.
Do I need to plug all instruments into the mac (at least logical ones, bass/electric/acoustic guitars? What exactly do I purchase for that, what kind of chord works with MacPro laptops?
I apologize as this is getting way too long for just a few questions, but I've become very frustrated with GB. I know there's a way to make my music sound professional and not a recording from a "garage" -- per say.
If anyone could answer all of my questions at your convenience, I would be very greatful.
Thanks so much!

Certainly GB is not the culprit in your case!
- Putting one mic in front of a band will always sound like crap. For a good vocal track, e.g., the singer has to be close to the mic, and that is true for picking up guitar apms too. In order to put each instrument and voice on their own channel, you either need a multi-channel interface and several mics (and good acoustic isolation so the tracks don't bleed into each other), or you'll have to record them one at a time. You could use the low quality one-mic recording as a "base" track, let everyone play their part over it, and erase the base track in the end. Don't expect a good drum sound with one mic.
For your horrible screw-up problem with the multi-track recording, you'll have to tell us more: Do the vocals on their own sound bad? Do you have clipping? If you have clean recordings on your tracks, GB doesn't have a problem to mix them.

My voice sounds like helium

Hi, everyone. To compensate for my Mac microphone troubles, I hooked up my mic to a wheezing Linux laptop and recorded a WAV of my voice. I imported it to Garage Band, but when I played the track my voice sounded as if I had just inhaled a large quantity of helium. Evidently, while trying to get my microphone to work a few nights ago, I modified some setting which caused this, without knowing I'd done it.
Any ideas as to how I might be able to fix this?

I don't have an answer for your question but I just had to tell you the title made me laugh for an hour. Usually it's me saying my voice sounds like something other than helium! I want you to know, you made my day. Music is awesome!

"Sounds" like someone is taking a snapshot of g5 without my permission

Hi There,
I'm concerned I'm being hacked because from time to time I hear the sound of a camera lens shutter.
Is there a way of detecting if there has been activity?
Any advice or help will be much appreciated.
Kindest regards
Rob Slaney

Sorry, Console is in Applications>Utilities, run that and watch the System & Console Logs around the time of the click.
But if you don't have an iSight or Camera hooked up, then the Sound is likely a Hard drive going bad, or a Fan, or...
If you wish to check further on the Hacking possibility, (doesn't sound like it to me, but), might look into this...
