MuVo TX Sudden loss in sound quality -irrecoverab

My MuVo Tx simply stopped working as usual. I was listening to it, put it away on the shelf i keep it decided to go out for a walk later on picked it up turned it on and nowit sounds as though it's only playing higher pitched notes and background vocals - almost like a recording error - for example like i was recording one channel on a 2 channel program, so only hearing half the original.
Yet using the same program Creative Media Source and even Windows Media Player 0 and on different computers incase it was my USB ports acting up.
Change of batteries doesn't resolve anything, a format via Windows in the FAT format resolves nothing. I even flashed the players bios to see if i could just everything.
No dice.
Has anyone else had this problem at all? I guess my last resort is to RMA it (if i can find my purchase receipt - why o why do i not keep better track of them).
I'm at a total loss to explain it. Oh btw the headphones work fine on my cd walkman, tape walkman and other headphones give me the same result. No physical damge noticeable, i can't recall even ever knocking it about other than to slide it in and out of a USB slot.
Any ideas appreciated.
Thanks

Problem fixed... I downloaded iTunes and reinstalled it... Alls well again

Muvo TX FM - Very odd sound quality prob

My Muvo is 2,5 years old. After last weekend it started to function oddly. Allmost everything works very well. The only problem is that when playing songs that includes singing, I can't hear the singing. Everything else sounds good. I can hear guitars, keyboards, drums, flutes ect. but singing always suppresses out in every song. It's like listening karaoke songs. I have tried formatting the device. I have updated firmwares. I have changed the battery. Nothing seems to work. Any ideas?

Earphones are OK, so are the equalizer settings.
Strange thing is that the songs on the mp3-player sound fine when played over the computer.
Do you think formatting is an option?

Sudden loss of sound

I was using my macbook (white 13") the other night to do a presentation with video. I had a hard time getting sound to play, but finally did. Now I have no sound at all. The sound indicator is light gray in color as opposed to black and if I using the sounds volume keys F10, F11, F12 it shows the little circle with a line through it.
HELP PLEASE!

Try a reset of the device (hold the power and home keys down until the Apple logo appears).

Loss of sound quality from viewer to sequence

Hi, I'm currently putting a track into a piece and when I play it in the viewer as a preview the sound is perfect yet when I insert it into the sequence there's a muffled ticking sound in the background.
The audio track has been rendered...any idea what I could do to resolve this?

in the preview then it plays fine, but as soon as I drop it into the sequence there's this ticking sound. I can't work out why it is.
Why? Because the Viewer show things (images AND sound) in their native format. But once you place it the Sequence, it has to conform to the Sequence settings. Since FCE's setting doesn't work with MP3, you hear the ticking (or other noise).
The fix? Always convert any media to match the Sequence settings PRIOR to importing it into your FCE project.

Loss of Sound HP Pavillion Entertainment Laptop DV6820ea

Hi,
Operating System:  Windows Vista
Sound Driver :         Conextant High Definition Smart Audio 221 (SPDIF INTERFACE)
Other Programmes: I Tunes
Problem :     Sudden loss of sound, I have tried the obvious such as is the touch sensitive mute switched off and the volumes switched on . I did briefly have my i-touch connected via USB but don't remember doing anything other than connecting and disconnecting the USB cable. Then there was no sound. I have also tried via control panel testing the devices and the speaker test works correctly but other than this I am unable to get any sound from the laptop. I did find, although I can't remember where, next to a I-tunes file name yellow triangles but was unabe to delete. This will probably be a very obvious and simple solution! but I would greatly appreciate any help!    many thanks

This often occurs when you plug in an HDMI device, on my machine. Try manually setting the playback device:
Right-click the speaker icon in the taskbar.
Select Playback Devices.
Right-click the audio device you want (i.e. Speakers)
Select Set as default device.
If this does not work, try logging in with an account that has administrative access. I discovered the wireless network can not be enabled by a non-administrative account, when it is disabled while logged in as an administrator. You have to go back to the admin account, enable wireless, and then log back to the other account.
Avoid updating your driver, unless the device no longer functions.

ITunes 7.0.2 sound quality worse than 7.0.1

Hello, I just downloaded iTunes 7.0.2 and noticed a distinct loss in sound quality with this version of the software. All of my sound files are already in the Apple Losless format. What happened with this version of the software, and what can I do?
Thanks.

Loss of sound on imac

I have a sudden loss of sound coming from my external speakers. I can only get it back if I re boot. This usually happens every day with no rhyme or reason.
The internal speakers are ok. I use the Bose companion 5 series speakers. It cannot be the Bose because if I re boot everything is ok for a while. any Ideas?

I have been there and done that.....makes no difference. Why do you think that the all of a sudden it would change the output in the first place? Things don't change by themselves for no apparent reason. It was still on the bose speakers when I went into sys pref. Amazing that you think that it would change itself everyday....did you really read my post or were you distracted?

The sound quality of my speaker suddenly got really poor when playing music or videos. Sounds like an old AM radio or Sputnik. Pretty sure it's hardware related but maybe not. Thoughts on what the problem might be and if it can be repaired?

The batterys the ipods come with are very sensetive somtimes they dont react right to the first couple of charges. Try fully charging it and then leaving it on until its completely drained a few times. If that doesnt work it might be a lemon.

Sound Quality Loss

When I create a track on an audio instrument track using the Vienna Symphonic Library Special Edition, the sounds are great. But then, when I export it to an audio track in order to save room, the sound quality goes way down. Is this because I am using the built-in audio on my macbook pro? 16 and 24 bit exporting doesn't seem to make a difference.

Colin, theorectically, there should be no difference.
theory sometimes lets us down.
it does here.
i find the same thing: everything sounds like a million bucks then you press bounce or export and the resulting file sounds like a quarter of a million.
some things you can do to keep up the dub quality are: get the instrument to peak at no more than -6 on logics meter.
keep the playback tracks level down, especially if you have a full orchestra going (25-40 tracks). mine end up somewhere around -18.
a frozen track results in a 32bit file. 24bit is the max for export and bounce.
i can hear a difference there too.
this is nothing compared to the quality loss, as in Waveburner, when dropping to 16bit for CDs...... THAT is very noticable.
let's not mention CD to mp3(:
maybe things will change in a future edition of logic where 32bit files may be used anywhere.
make sure you are listening to the playback at the same level (spl) as before dubbing.
The built in audio has nothing to do with the quality of a bounce, it only outputs the result.
apples conversion is not top grade, never has been.
it might be time to invest in a pro D/A. Benchmark make a beauty.
if you don't need 8in/8out, just go for a 2in/2out. at the same price point, the 2/2 should be of better quality.
the loss with digital is nowhere near as bad as with analog, if that makes you feel any better.

Help Help Help...sound quality suddenly horrible!

So, first of all I'll admit that my mini has been through a lot-its been dropped down stairs, things like that. But it has always worked perfectly besides being a bit scratched up--untill last week. All of a sudden, when I listen to any song on my ipod, the sound quality is just terrible. Every files plays through just fine, but the vocals sound distant and it's a little garbeled, definitely not listen-able..even though thats not a word. And no, it didnt start doing this right after I dropped it, I did drop it a couple weeks before it stopped working properly, though. And I've also tried different headphones, so I know that's the problem. Please help..I'm in trouble without it! And if I have to send it back to the company again....grr. Is this even covered under warranty? I dont even know what THIS is!

Marina,
A lot of people are having trouble with updates, I'd say "If it ain't broken then don't fix it". Do not download any more updates if the version you have works fine. That's too late for you I see...
I've never had a problem with updates so I always download them every time there's a new one.
Have you played your music in iTunes? Do you still hear static, or is it only in your iPod?
So I see going back to the old version of updater didn't work, hmm..tough case.
Have you dropped your iPod? Got it wet somehow?
Have you tried to reset it? Press and hold the MENU and CENTER buttons - at the same time - until you see the Apple logo. This is best done when your iPod is connected to your computer and it might take several attempts.

Using leopard sound quality in itunes suddenly diminished

Hi All
Anyone else had this problem - I installed Leopard the other day - no worries all good up to now - today started listening to some music and sound quality is awful - podcasts, imports from cd collections, downloads from internet all affected - all sounds like bitrate has fallen down to 32 instead of 256 - any ideas what it might be or what to do????

Hello,
I too have noticed poor audio quality from itunes after upgrading to OS 10.5. Even though most of my songs on iTunes are Apple Lossless Format, it still sounds like it is very low bitrate...So much so that I can't listen to most things. My listening is done via headphones or multimedia speakers thru the audio output on a MacBook Pro 2.16 GHz. Has anyone found a solution to this problem? Interestingly enough, I did notice that the same songs played on Quicktime sounds a lot better than that on itunes. I've tried everything that I can think of to rectify the problem. Checked all my connections, checked eq and other audio features on iTunes, I even tried going into App/Utilities/AudioMidi application to try the aforementioned solution without any luck.
Please, please, please, if anyone has a solution or any idea how to solve this problem, let us know. I cannot live without my iTunes, I use it to study and I have finals coming up next week...and no iPod...
Thank you,
Desperate student seeking help

IOS 5 Sound Quality and Sound Check issues

So since upgrading my iPod to iOS 5 the sound quality of my music has deteriorated massively and sound check no longer works as it should.
Tracks sound crackly and audio volume will remain balanced for a few tracks when sound check is on, then all of a sudden become completely unbalanced and all over the place. My iPod is only just about useable, it's a bit of a disaster that its main feature doesn't work as it should.
Everything else in my iOS5 works as it should.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Richard.

Since I bought iPhone4 and listened my songs with "Ipod app" and external speakears I was amazed how brilliant, sharp, intense, clear, perfect bass, perfect trebble the sound was, there was no distortions or saturations ever... The sound quality was just PERFECT with the equalization OFF!!! Not remember if I had SoundCheck ON before but now it doesn't make any difference. I installed iOS 5 over 4.3.1 or so and now sound is just more like noise compared to iOS 4, I have selected all presets or equalizations but ALL are poor, maybe some presets work better with some songs but still they are poor.... Songs did not have clarity!! The volume force was like degraded, now I have to set higher volume to produce same force than before with less volume... iOS 5 max volume (100%) is like iOS 4.2.1 85-90% of volume. Difference is that iOS 5 maximum volume starts slightly to distort or saturate audio quality... before with iOS 4 sound quality was Crystal Clear even with max volume!!! In short SOUND QUALITY is DEGRADED... or perhaps I'm a very critical and nonconformist guy in terms of audio quality... this kind of degradation is quite notorious when one loves music!! or is there some other configuration I'm missing here??
Totally agree with Richard!!
At first I thought it was a problem with my phone... I used to believe iOS 5 was engineered for new iPhone 4S hardware and since it is shipped with dual-core processor, I thought my phone was short in resources!!!
Why max volume is lower in intensity???
Why equalization with the EQ Off changed?? All my songs were stored on iTunes, they must have same sound quality properties as they were when first ripped..
I hope Apple enginneers did not sacrifice volume output force in favor of saving some battery, because normally we charge battery when listening music at home with our personal speakers equipment.
I would like to understand the reasons why the new "Music App" was "changed", and why these changes have to go backwards!! That is sad... because for iPhone or iPod lovers music was always important.
thanks

Sudden Change in Sound

I have a nano 3rd generation and have used it just about daily with no problems. I used it yesterday morning and plugged it into our stereo and all of a sudden the sound quality was horrible. It was distant, tin sounding, and some of the sound levels weren't even coming through. I can't figure out what happened and how to fix it. Any ideas out there?

Well I had the same problem, until I cleaned it! Overtime, your ipod earphones get dirty- dust and other things accumulate in the mesh and prevent the sound from escaping...
After I clean my ipod, the sound increased ten fold, it became just as loud as when I bought it a year ago!
Here's how to clean your ipod earphones:
step 1: Rinse a cloth or sponge under hot water and ring until no water pours out ( the cloth/sponge should be damp, but NOT wet!). Gently wipe the wire mesh on the earphones.
Step 2: Then, with a dry toothbrush, brush the mesh for about two minutes or until clean.
And thats it! It worked for me, I hope it works for you

Poor sound quality, Airport Express

Hi,
I have this 2 yrs old airport express but it has all of the sudden a really poor sound quality.
When I connect it to my home stereo and play through airplay and if I connect headphones the sound is very poor and scratchy
I've used 3 diffferent cables to connect it to my home stereo and i've tried 2 different set of headphnoes.
When i connect directly to my home stereo with RCA cable the sound is fine.
Is the only solution to buy a new airport?
Thank you.

Based on your description, it appears that the base station's internal DAC is the issue and may be failing. Unfortunately these are not user replaceable parts and a complete base station replacement may be the only option at this point in time.
One other option to try, if your stereo supports digital optical input, is to use a mini-jack Toslink cable connected between the base station's audio port and the stereo to see if you can get "clean" sound this way.

Xi-fi problem with Vista, loss of sound and a whis

Hello,I have a Xi-fi extreme Gamer, and Windows vista 32 bitWith many games, just to say one Overlord, but also with Gta S.Andreas, Teamfortress 2, Never Witner Night 2.. you name it, suddenly i lose all audio that is repleaced by a loud whistle, the whistle don't stop even if i quit the game and return to the OS. The only way to stop the whistle is to restart the PC. I tried to disable many options in the audio console but the problem return, with the last drivers i can't play Overlord for more than 4 minutes, then all i get from the audio is the whistle. Anyone have a suggestion to solve this problem?Thank you very much.

there seems to be lot of us having issues with sound falling off and odd noises.
We all seem to get the same reply from creative as well.. silence.
The only fix that works for some and not all is to go to the sound properties ( right click the volume, select playback devices, right click the speaker icon, select properties, select advanced )
And Turn down the sound quality from DVD quality to CD.
This has cured most of my games.
hope this helps.
