  • 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.

  • Sound distortion in iTunes and not in other players

    Hello,
    I've been experiencing some terrible sound distortion with iTunes that I don't have with any other player (WM player for instance).
    I installed version 6 and this doesn't fix any issue.
    This doesn't cause any problem when transferring files to iPod but still, have to be fixed!
    Has anyone a clue or already fixed this in windows XP?
    Thanks

    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.

  • USB Headphones, sound distortion in iTunes

    Hi,
    I recently purchased a set of Logitech ClearChat Pro USB Headphones. They do have a specific driver, and are automatically installed when you plug them in. I run 32 Windows Vista.
    The sound when listening to music or video through iTunes crackles and pops some. Listening to the same files in Windows Media Player yield no such distortion. I imagine it must have something to do with an audio codec or some quicktime setting, but I am not good enough to know where to start messing around.
    Any ideas?
    Thank you,
    Andy

  • 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.

  • 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!

    Please describe in detail all you have attempted to do in order to resolve the issue.  Have you tried resetting your iPod Nano?

  • Sound Distortion with Itunes 7 Upgrade

    There's a lot of talk about the audio distortion. Those that didn't have success with changing the Quicktime Sound Output, try the follwing..
    Disable Crossfade in Itunes. Under Edit-->Preferences on the Playback tab.
    Uncheck Crossfade Playback.

    I'm afraid I wasn't using Crossfade in the first place, so this solution doesn't work for me.

  • 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!

  • Why does my music sound weird in iTunes?

    When I play music. it sounds like a fan is running over the speakers. It sounds rubbish. But this is only in iTunes. When I play through Quick Time it sounds absolutly fine. I am running Mountain Lion and have updated iTunes and it still happens. PLEASE HELP. This also happens in FaceTime. It is this terrible echo. I hate it PLEASE HELP

    You're listening from another room?
    Most likely you don't have the headphones plugged all the way in, there should be no gap between the plastic on the headset jack and the body of the Nano. If you won't go all the way in check the headphone jack on the Nano with a flashlight and clean any dust/debris/obstruction you find.

  • How do I minimize sound distortion from iTunes?

    I seem to get audio distortion from time to time while playing iTunes thru an external amp and speakers.
    when this happens, I shut everything down and then power up.
    Suggestions?
    Cheers,

    If you downloaded the book from iTunes via your computer, sync your iPod, iPad, or iPhone and it should transfer there automatically.  Just make sure you have checked the appropriate boxes (which books to sync etc.) before you click sync.
    If you downloaded the book from iTunes via your iPod, iPad, or iPhone, then it should appear right there at the iBooks app.

  • 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).
