Mp3 playback volume tech question...

why is it that audio files (mp3 files) playback at a louder volume when using a client-side player like iTunes or Media Player than they do when playing thru a flash built audio player?
thanks in advance for any replies.

Instantaneous MP3 playback...

MP3 playback used to begin immediately even with very large files, but no longer does. What am I missing? It seems there may be some type of "helper" file for other browsers (read Safari, Chrome & Opera) that isn't being taken advantage of to facilitate this "starting play before the download is complete" type of thing...

The playback time would vary based on any number of factors:
Temperature, volume, other operations, how long the screen is on, how many times you change the volume, eq settings, if airplane mode is on or off, any calls, e-mails, push on or push off, how often to fetch mail, screen brightness, 3g on or off, wi-fi on or off, location service on or off,etc.
The 24 hours is based on a specific situation and is not likely to be reproduced with normal use.
Just use it and see what you get.

Does anyone know if the mp3 playback time changes if your using a set of headphones, or is the 24 hours assuming you are using headphones?

Sound recorder playback volume low ?

I have a dv6000 notebook , for the first time ever I tried recording sound using windows movie maker to add ''narration'' but the playback volume is very low .
I tried the windows '' sound recorder '' and got the same result .
I've been through all the standard adjustments and settings and have gone into ' control panel ' and adjusted 'levels' and everything else with no success .
When I record a video using the sound on my camera the volume is fine - it's just the mic sound that is low whether I use an external mic or the built in ones .

I have the same issue and I see no responses to your inquiry.. This Windows help menu leaves much to be desired. Im sure I will one day figure out how to work this version that I had no clue I was buying bc it should come with a warning label.. its completely different and agonizing and great help menu lovely.. Im sorry to be so negative wish I could help.. Ill sit here all night till I figure it out and then post an option on how to adjust the recording volume.. Unreal..

Playback volume variation

My songs playback at different volumes from each other so I find myself constantly having to adjust the volume setting (and occasionally going deaf). Is there a way to fix this from some menu?
Thank You

You can adjust the playback volume preference for a tune by getting the information and adjusting the playback volume in the the options. If you choose multiple files at once and get info it will adjust them all.

Player 10 - Slow and Distorted MP3 Playback.

I began experiencing this problem once I download Flash
Player 10. The mp3 playback is slow and sounds very distorted.
This only seems to occur with mp3s at a 48k sample rate. Mp3s
at a sample rate of 44.1k sound normal. Is there a way to fix this
without converting the sample rate? Is Adobe working on a solution?
Thank you.

I'm getting the same thing. Are all of you on Apple platform? It seems to be the only place this is showing up.
Macbook Pro - OSX 10.5.6
When I uninstall flash player and reinstall 9 it works fine. On another not when using CS4 at work the same thing happens locally when I test the movies.
It's sounds like music on nitrous in hell. .. . .

Podcast Playback Volume

Have recently really got into Podcasts, great time killer to and from work...however on the whole whenever they play back, they are so quiet. So, for example, trying to listen to Sunday Supplement on the train or bus is impossible due to background noise.....even at full volume....
Please help!!

If you right-click the podcast in itunes, and then select "Get Info", under "Options", you can adjust playback volume. Have you adjusted the volume here, coupled with the volume controls on the phone?

Ipod playback volume

I use my ipod for Group Fitness classes & always play it at Max volume & then use the stereo system that I hook up to to adjust volume.
I've noticed that the playback volume is not as loud as it used to be even though my ipod is on max & so is the stereo system.
Is there a way to increase the volume on output when I playback?
I also have noticed that some songs thatI purchase from iTunes may not play as loud as others.
HELP!

Has the *Volume limit* been set to less than maximum? You can tell this quickly by turning the volume on the *Now Playing* screen to maximum and if the speaker icon stays as a speaker, the answer is no, it isn't. But if the speaker icon changes to a padlock when you get to "maximum", then the *Volume Limit* _is set below maximum._
On the iPod, go into *Settings/Volume Limit.* The small up-arrow under the scroll bar is the "limit setting". Turn the scroll wheel to increase the maximum and press the centre button to set it. The bar will return to a lower level. Don't worry about that - it's supposed to, the arrow is what you need to look at. +(Do not press the play button to set the volume limit unless you are going to remember the combination that you will be asked to set as well.)+
Why/how did this happen you ask? I don't know, but as I confirmed my instructions to you (I have an iPod Touch as well, so I get confused +at my age)+ my maximum volume reduced when I came out of the menu - something I realised by turning to max on the *Now Playing* screen and seeing the padlock, which I hadn't seen before!

Set playback volume check? Where can I find this

Where can I find the preferences section to Set playback volume check?

Hello Kevin57013,
It sounds like you are wanting to reduce the maximum volume of your phone or enable Sound Check. These are in the Music Settings named Volume Limit, and Sound Check respectively:
Music settings
http://help.apple.com/iphone/7/#/iphf2d8534c
Sound Check (to normalize the volume level of your audio content)
Set the volume limit. Go Settings > Music > Volume Limit.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the very best,

My playback volume on 10 is SOOOOOO low! What happened??

10.4.1.10 - My playback volume is abysmal. Other things playback with plenty of volume. I crank up my PC volume, ITunes volume, my external speakers volume and it's just poo! Websites with sound are great. It's not just new music, it's all music. That "sound check" button can be on, or off, no difference... I can crank up the volume on each song, no difference...UGH!! What happened and how the heck do I fix it?! I mean really?!?! This is no good, no good I say!

Figured it out...
In the bottm right where you choose multiple speakers, at some point, I modified the computer output to be lower... that setting stuck and wasnt 'sliding.
This is a default in the design for sure. But am thrilled I figured it out!

Volume slider and playback volume...

Hi
I recently purchased a 120GB Classic and, due to the fact that I don't hear too well, you won't be surprised I find it too quiet (if only I'd known about the 'cap' beforehand so I could have got one from the USA...).
I bought a half-decent pair of headphones, which has helped, and also got an inline amp (which increases the 'noise' as much as the volume, so I'm not that sold on it...). Anyway, I had the idea of bumping up the volume on iTunes and re-syncing all the songs, so I did.
I wasn't sure what the effect on quality would be, so I knocked it up about halfway and resynced the iPod. Which took forever.
I'm pretty sure the iPod is now louder, but I may be imagining it - I'm tempted to put the bar all the way to the top, but if the increase is purely psychological it seems a waste of time (and it does take time!).
So, does the volume slider affect iPod playback volume?
Thanks for reading, and thanks again if you can help.

So, does the volume slider affect iPod playback volume?
No. If you increase the volume of a song in iTunes, all you do is make it so that the maximum volume on the iPod is reached before the volume bar is at full.
For example, if you increase a track's volume in iTunes by +100% then when it's on the iPod you will find that that track hits it's maximum volume level at about half volume, and turning the iPod up to full volume will not increase the volume any higher after this point. A track which has not had it's volume altered in iTunes will reach exactly the same sound level, although of course you will need to turn the volume level of the iPod to full in this instance.

Playback volume problems on burned CDs

When I burn CD's from playlists on my iBook and play them on a home CD player (not iPod), the song playback volumes vary greatly from song to song. Some are very loud and some very soft. Is there any way to control this problem so all songs are about the same volume? The sound check option and going to "file/get info/changing volumes" on individual songs does not help.

The Sound Check option (Playback) and changing the volumes in 'Get info' does not adjust the volume when burning.
Ticking the checkbox 'Use Sound Check' in 'Preferences>Advanced>Burning' (for Audio CD only) might do the trick, but I don't find it satisfactory for me.
You can adjust the volume (gain) for each individual track by using the 'Normalize' function in various audio editors (Audacity, Sound Studio etc.).
This is a lengthy procedure, but it can be a solution when only a few tracks need adjusting. The tracks are permanently altered, unless you save it as a copy.
Maybe there are similar programs, but what really does a good job for me, is 'Jam' (roxio.com). You can select all or selected tracks to 'normalize' them.
Adjusting gain for each track individually is also possible, if some songs need to be louder or softer.
The adjustments will not alter the tracks, but are saved in a separate file.

E55 - improve sound on mp3 playback?

mp3 playback on my E55 is dissappointing; you need to add Bass enhancement just to get a flat frequency response and the music lacks detail even on simplet tracks.
I know it's not a dedicated mp3 player/'comes with music'/Walkman phone but how can I improve music playback?
- Is eACC format easier on the processor?
- Is there a 3rd party mp3/ACC player for E55 that sounds better?

I should have explained;
- Yes, I'm using same pair of headphones to compare same tracks played back on E55 and laptop. Laptop is satisfactory and I'm used to what it 'sounds' like, E55 mp3 player is poor.
- Source is mp3 so ACC/eACC would require an additional conversion (rather than ripping CDs to ACC in the first place).
Seperate headphone amp is nice idea, but my sound quality expectations aren't quite that high for a phone. Would only bother with headphone amp for CD line output or similar cheers.
Further testing;
- Internet Radio on E55 is quite acceptable and dosn't need any bass re-infocement. I conclude the problem is with the mp3 playing software on E55 or the source mp3 - not the S60 OS or E55 hardware.
- Playing further albums on proved that BOTH the laptop and E55 did justice other mp3 and WMAs including Opera, Rock and Dance.
Conclusion: "The Haçienda - Acid House Classics" mp3 album is a bit quite and not a great source. But the E55 still needs bass turned on for the music player (but not Internet Radio!) so could be solved with a software update.
Other sources sound as good as you could expect on the E55: rubbish in ribbish out.
Now to see if converting from mp3/WMA to ACC/eACC can actually improve the sound. I used to think it impossible to improve a signal with additional processing, but my Sony Hard Disk TV Recorder actually plays back better than the original(!) so maybe converting to ACC will to.
