Music sounds distorted

Ok, so someone stole my 30gb video ipod. I was able to get a 60gb video ipod from a friend. I plugged the 60 gb into my itunes that i was using for my old ipod and transferred all of my songs onto the 60gb. However, now when I play songs on my 60gb the songs sound distorted but they weren't that way on the 30gb....
So, is it a problem with my itunes (trying to load too much at one time), or is it a problem with my computer (computer too slow to handle all that activity at once) or is it a problem with the ipod itself?

Sometimes iTunes won't be able to handle a lot of music (50 or more) so try not to transfer big hunks of music. Also check to make sure the EQ isnt on like Bass Booster of something, set it to like off or flat. This is not a problem with your computer. If that doesn't work, it could be a problem with your headphones. Sorry to hear that happened to you.

  • HELP! Why is the music sounding distorted

    Hi there, so i put on all music on the ipod, and two days later it is sounding all distorted and garbled, do i have to take it all off and start again? This ipod nano sure has its imperfections...thanx

    The equalizer might be on.
    On the nano, even if the equalizer is set to off in the iPod settings, the equalizer setting in iTunes is used. If you have a track in iTunes with a custom EQ set to, say, "rock" the iPod will use rock. It may sound fine though the computer speakers but not so good though the earbuds.
    Not all iPods are consistent about how they use the per track EQ settings from iTunes. On a 5G iPod, for example, setting the EQ on the iPod to off means it plays everything flat.
    You could try setting the EQ on the iPod nano to "flat" while the song in question is playing. If that clears it up you should set that song to use a flat EQ in iTunes. Then it will always play like that on the nano.
    Most modern music doesn't need equalization and adding it usually makes music sound distorted and garbled.

  • Using Airport Express and music sounds distorted.....

    I just hooked up my airport express to my whole house stereo and the music sounds distorted.  I've adjusted the volume on the amplifier, the room volume control and the computer volume control.....and it still sounds distorted.  Any ideas on what I can do?

    Temporarily, plug a pair of headphones into the AirPort Express and check the sound quality. It is OK, you know that everything is working through the AirPort Express.
    Often the audio plug will make poor contact with the audio jack on the Express which can cause a hum or intermiitent audio signal. Wiggle the plug around to see if this might be the case. You may need to try another audio cable.
    Make sure that you are not plugging into a PHONO input on the amplifier. You would want to use AUX or CD or even TAPE would work if you have an older amplifier/receiver.

  • Music sounds distorted since IOs7

    Why does music sound distorted since IOs7

    Reset the device:
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    If you are using an iPad case, make sure the speakers are not blocked.

  • Music/sound distortion

    Since I upgraded to iOS 7, all of the music and sounds on my iPad are completely distorted. Music sounds horrible. Has anyone else noticed this, and when will a fix be available???

    Found an answer elsewhere here! Hold down the home and hold buttons until the Apple logo appears. This resets the iPad and fixed the distortion!

  • My Music Sounds Distorted Upon DVD Playback

    Anytime I create a movie and burn it in iDVD, I have to drop the movie in as a slideshow in order to keep the aspect ration and not have portions of my picture and text cutoff on the tv. The problem however is that when I play my movie the music is always very distorted, as if it was recorded at too high a volume.
    In the slideshow option I have moved the volume all the way down to (min) but still find I get a distorted playback sound. Can anyone offer up suggestions?

    Figured I'd bump this back up and hope for suggestions. Really dont want to have to go back to PC for this stuff. Ugh!

  • With EQ music sounds distorted

    I have to warn you that my english is not so good, so I will write it in spanish too if you want to translate. Thanks.
    Well, I bought a new iPod nano 3G 8gb 2 days ago, and I discovered that using an EQ preset, bass sounds distoted. I upraded to 1.0.3 but it still distorting. I know that it's a problem of the iPod or its software. What can I do? Thanks
    Spanish: me compré un iPod nano 3G 8gb hace 2 días, y he descubierto que usando el ecualizador, los graves suenan distorsionado. Actualicé al la versión 1.0.3 pero sigue distorsionado. Sé que es un problema del iPod o de su software. ¿Qué puedo hacer? Gracias

    I'm afraid this is a common problem (happens on every iPod model that I've owned -- that's five different models -- early 2nd generation iPod, shuffle 1, shuffle 2, iPhone, and nano). Basically, any of the equalizers that boost the bass frequencies will distort when playing at anything other than the very lowest volume settings. Of course, the source material affects the results as any bass heavy recording will have more of a problem. I suspect this happens because the iPods don't have enough output power to cleanly drive such high levels of bass. In fact, I suspect this is a common problem on a lot of MP3 players (not just the iPods).
    The workaround (if you want to call it that) is to use only the mildest forms of equalization and then keep the volume levels fairly low. Because of this I almost never use equalization on the iPods. A better solution is just to use a set of headphones that are both efficient (low power) and which have better bass response. For that purpose I can recommend either the Koss Porta Pros or the Sennheiser PX100s (note, these are headband style, on-the-ear type headphones, NOT earbuds).

  • Music coming from headphone sounds distorted.

    This is a 1st Generation IPod Touch. Changed headphones 3 times but music sounds as if it is a well. Can the headphone jack be replaced?

    I would take my iPod Touch if I were you and go to an Apple store and have them look at it. You could go to the Genius Bar and have them fix it up for you. I hope you get your iPod fixed!

  • Sound Distortion playing DVDs with Audigy2 Va

    Last time I have problems playing DVD movies on my computer: The sound is distorted
    by scratches like an old vinyl. I am using a SB Audigy 2 on Win XP. I have tried several software DVD players, reinstalled the old drivers from CD and cleanly installed teh newest drivers via internet auto update. I also tried to update my VIA chipset drivers, deactivated several background programs etc.
    I found out that disabling the sound acceleration in DXDiag removes the sound distortion but then the sound (speech, effects) within a movie are extremly quiet compared to the music.
    Another thing: First I deinstalled completely the software and drivers from my audigy to replace it with new ones. Then I had to notice that the new Audio Control Center does not support the option to send bass-frequencies to my subwoofer. I could set the speakers to 5. but had no chance to get my subwoofer working. At the moment I have status quo by using new drivers, but my old creative applications for configurating my speakers.

    Ijust checked the preferences, go to Disc Setup and on the bottom in the Audio section, check off the box that says "Disable Dolby dynamic range compression" see if that helps.

  • Music is distorted

    Hello,
    I was trying to update my music library yesterday after the uploads I made I wanted to listen the songs on my device (Iphone 4S) but the sound of music was distorted, I was hearing small overlaps.
    I've tryed to Restart, it didn't worked, then I got into the forums and tryed all I've found (Reset = lock+home, restore network settings, restore settings) but none of these workd, so here I am asking for your help.
    The problem is only in Music, no other player (youtube, soundcloud) was having this issue.
    I am afraid to restore (delete) all the settings and content because I do have important notes and contacts.
    Thanks a lot for your time,
    Adrian

    Yeah sorry. by restarted I ment restored, and also
    now that Ive been messing with it more I have noticed
    is I have my headphones in listening it sounds fine
    until I tip it one way or another instead of leaving
    it on a flat surface.
    That seems like a problem with connections of the earphone jack inside the iPod.

  • Music is Distorted and Skips

    I currently have the iphone 5 and my software has been udpated to 6.1.4. But the issue I am having is that, when I'm running or working out, my music would sound distorted and skips. This is the only time it happens. Any suggestions or ways to resolve this? Thank you so much!

    Hi, I have the same issue, on MP3 and AAC almost can't notice, but using HE-AAC its very noisy.
    My wife use the Ipod Nano (with touch) and the same song (excatly same source, because I shared the folder between different users on the computer) and the music plays perfectly.
    ps.: I have tested using the same song, from same source and same compression and also the same earphones (that came with my ipod classic)
    Its software a bug or hardware?

  • Sound distortion - Pavilion DV6-3040sa

    Hi, 
    When i was at university, i had to connect my laptop via ethernet to gain internet access as there was no wi-fi connection in student halls. The sound distortion was quite bad. I couldn't even listen to music or watch video's as the sound would go distorted. It got worse if i tried streaming videos off the internet such as youtube. When i returned home, i connected to the internet via wi-fi and i didn't seem to experience any sound distortion. The sound was fine except for the odd occasional distortion but it wasn't a big problem. I assume it is something to do with the network cards? If someone could help me fix this problem, it would be much appreciated. I'd like to enjoy my music and videos without any distortion again
    Thanks,
    Kin.
