New ipod color lost clear sound quality

My new ipod which was a Christmas present lost its very good sound quality. It now plays everything "fuzzy" -- like with static. I have reset and restored (only once so far), but with no luck. The sound is still terrible. It is not the earphones, because I tested them on the computer. I have also had other people listen to make sure it just wasn't me.
Do I need to send it back to Apple for repair?

  • New Ipod Touch 5g, poor sound quality?

    Hi,
    I recently got given a silver ipod touch for christmas, after having had a 5G nano ipod for a few years. i had always had no problem with sound quality with that ipod. However, I have noticed that even with my Bose headphones and on my Bose dock, certain songs heavy in bass (seems to be a lot of hip hop), such as my Jay-Z and Drake albums, the bass is very bad and fuzzy and messy. It sounds terrible. I have listened to the very same songs through my Macbook Pro through headphones and there is no problem. All my music is from itunes/amazonmp3/CDs so I don't understand whether my ipod is faulty or whether this is just how the new Ipod Touch is? If so I am returning it pronto! I need my bass!

    Try:
    - Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Power off and then back on the router
    - Reset network settings: Settings>GeneralReset>Reset Network Settings
    - iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
    - iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • Brand new Ipod touch G4 with sound only in one earbud

    I have a brand new Ipod touch G4 with sound only in one earbud.  I have tried different types of headphones, but get the same result.  If I jiggle the connector pin, I can get sound on both earbuds, but only on one side when the connector pin is push all the way in.
    I have an older Ipod g4 without this problem
    any suggestions?

    Try on your ipod going to Settings-General-Accessibility. Scroll down into Hearing and see that Mono Audio is off. Maybe that's the problem.

  • New Ipod- where's the sound?

    Well I got the new Ipod Shuffle
    && it was working for an awhile just fine
    But now I turn it on && when I want to turn the volume up, I push the + button and the volume decreases and I can longer hear it. And the little light on the Ipod flashes an orange color repeatedly
    What the heck it going on
    I did upload the new version of Itunes but it is still whacked.

    The orange light flashes when you increase the volume to the maximum level or decrease the volume to the minimum level.
    What happens when you push the "-" button? Does the volume change? What about the center select button?
    The 1.0.2 update should keep the sound from ramping all the way up or down, but that's what appears to happening to yours. Mine did that intermittently which I attributed to shorting of the "-" button due to sweat.
    I let the controls dry out and sealed them up and now they work fine.

  • IPod Shuffle vs Nano sound quality

    Hello.
    I'm planning on buying the new iPod Shuffle. Is the sound quality the same as the latest iPod Nano?
    ~Matt

    Haven't listened to latest (3rd Gen) nano but I do know that current shuffle sound quality is a bit less than that of 1st Gen shuffle and 1st Gen nano. But that's MY opinion, your experience may vary...

  • IPod Classic 6th Generation Sound Quality

    So I'm looking to buy the iPod Classic 6th Generation (80gb) because it's cheaper than the 7th Generation. But after some internet research, people are saying the sound quality is really bad. Is there any way to upgrade the sound quality, and just make it better?

    iPod Classic doesn't have any wireless built-in, so you would need a wireless microphone system plugged into the iPod output (and which is the size of 2 iPod Classic) and a wireless receiver. so it won't be very comfy to "walk around home, and this stuff start around 100$, so you'd be better off with an iPod Touch, although it has less storage.

  • Why have the headphones that come with the iPhone within the last year lost their sound quality?

    Doesn anybody know why all the replacement headphones and headphones that come standard with the iPhone and iPod lost their quality?  I broke my headphones I got with my iPhone two years ago and I went in to get a replacement pair.  All the ones (standard iPhone headphones) I tried have no bass anymore.  I let the store person hear the difference and he agreed.  A friend of mine bought an iTouch recently and I listened to the ones that came with his iTouch and they are just as bad (he doesn't know the difference because he never heard the older pairs).  Why has the quality dropped on the new issuing headphones? I am so disappointed because I was happy with the quality of sound coming from the original pair, but they are no longer making them...WHAT HAPPENED???  New manufacturer?  Or is this a way to get people to have to buy after-market products?

    Why would Apple care if you bought after-market headphones? They don't make them. Unless maybe the manufacturers of those headphones bribe Apple...

  • Tried to sync new iPod and lost numerous purchased songs

    The hard drive on my old 20GB iPod crashed and I finally replaced it today with a 30GB iPod video. I went to sync it with my computer, and I was making a new playlist, I noticed that some of the songs I had purchased back when I had my old iPod were gone. The majority of them are still around, but I lost probably 30-50 songs.
    Anyone know why this happens or how to recover them? I am not particularly pleased with Apple right now (my first iPod lasted less than 18 months and the "Genius Bar" had no explanation for why the hard drive crashed and now this).

    First, have you checked if there isnt some wierd authorization problem? Go to the Store tab in iTunes and reauthorize everything you use.
    Also, something that has happened to me, is that for no particular reason several songs were dropped from my Purchased playlist. They were still in my music folder, they had just been deleted from the playlist.

  • HELP - New 3GS has lost all sounds

    I have no sound at all, no phone ring, no keyboard sounds, no text message sounds, no sound when I unlock. In other words, NO SOUNDS AT ALL.
    I have only had it for a week, and already having the same problem I did with my 1st generation iPhone.
    I have done a reset on it twice, and fully charged it. Sound is at full capacity, and I have checked all the settings.

    Just those sounds? What about music and such?
    If just those, do check the ringer mute switch. And go to Settings > Sounds and see what you have set there (I have keyboard clicks off, for example).

  • IPod Classic 160GB Sound Quality Questions

    My question relates to this older thread found here http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1126861
    Basically, it's that the new iPod Classics have inferior sound quality compared to older models because of the new Cirrus DAC, with reports of it sounding too bright/fatiguing/metallic/too much treble.
    I love warm and laid back sound, so this concerns me and is the only thing stopping me from purchasing one. However, I am going to mainly use it in my car hooked up to a Pioneer P6100BT through USB which bypasses the iPod's DAC and uses the Pioneer one. Since I won't be using the iPod's DAC, will these sound issues not apply to me?
    Thanks in advance!

    The Apple Discussions thread begins in September 2007 - old 160GB iPod Classic.
    This long thread suggests that the latest 160GB model has improved sound quality.

  • Sound Quality ipod nano

    I have recently bought an ipod nano having had a Sony hard drive walkman for a few years. The sound quality and memory size of the Sony was amazing, but if the unit moves too much it freezes so I decided to change to ipod.
    I am really happy with the ipod apart from the sound quality with some of my songs.
    A couple of albums (such as Andrea Bocelli) crackle during certain songs when played on the ipod even with the equalizer off or flat. They do not do this when played throught the computer with the same headphones, and I have tried recording the albums in different formats and frequencies. The majority of my albums play without any distortion.
    Is there some way to overcome this?

    I have had such an experience while listening to "Il Divo". I think you might have to play a round with the equalizer. It probably affects operatic songs.

  • Ipod Classic sound quality

    i bought a ipod classic but the sound quality sound really ****** and the volume is 2 low APPLE I WANT MY MONEY BACK !!

    2 factors:
    1. are you importing tracks at 128 bit (or less)?
    2. are you using Apple earbuds or some other company?
    Tracks at 128 or lower may sound tinny/am radio-ish.
    Low-end earbuds may also sound "off"
    128 bit is great for space conservation, especially on the smaller ipods (2-4gb), but the tradeoff is sound quality.
    Since the classic has sufficient space, I would check iTunes prefs and reset track import quality to 256 or higher. Personally, I import at variable lossless. Typically runs between 950 and 1100 bit, which is close to CD quality.

  • Problems syncing new ipod nano

    I was given a 7th generation ipod nano for Christmas. I installed itunes and it downloaded some of my music to the ipod including two books I had bought from Audible. It then refused to sync anything else, not even the music I've bought from itunes store. I've removed the audible files from the ipod and from the itunes library but I still can't add anything to the ipod. When itunes opens up it says sync is complete, but there are still only two albums on the ipod. I've tried restoirng the settings on  the ipod and when I tried to uninstall itunes my computer crashed, but itunes are still there with the same problems. I've now lost hours trying to resolve this

    Hello JoJo717,
    Congratulations on your new iPod nano!  It sounds like you have one computer but multiple iPods.  There are a three options when syncing multiple devices to one computer, and the article below outlines these methods.  I recommend reviewing the article to find a method that would work for you:

  • New iPod nano....neither driver nor iTunes work

    well, I downloaded iTunes, but when I went to install it nothing happened. It stopped at the screen that said "Preparing to install..." and then that screen closed. Not sure whether it worked or not, I connected my iPod to the comp and tried to run it. When I opened it, it started looking for the device driver and then it gave me this message:
    "Windows was unable to find a driver for this device."

    Come on guys! Read the systems requirements on the box for the new ipod nano, it clearly says that it needs Windows XP with Service Pack 2.
    iTunes 7.0.2 have the drivers in self for the ipod nano, so it need to be install before you plug the nano in your system, and you most have the latest version of Windows XP with SP1 or SP2 for the install to run correctly.
    If there will be a way to install iTunes 7.0.2 on Windows 98, surely is not safe and requires additional programs that possibly have bugs and can void your warranty, and possible damage the ipod.
    Upgrading to Windows XP is not so expensive like an iPod in self, so? You’ll be willing to risk your new hardware for saving a few bucks?!
