Nokia N73 Sound Quality and Stereo Speakers

Hi all,
Nokia N73 has two speakers on the top side and a speaker at the bottom side. It seems that only one the speakers on the top is working. Is this normal?
Also the MP3 sound quality is not very good comparing to Nokia N80 or Sonyericsson K750i. Any opinions about this?

The two speakers must work, but to know if thay work, can´t be like that... seems not... If You have serious doubts, go to a Nokia Service.
About mp3 quality, I don´t note nothing different from N70, N80... Is good quality to my hears!

Nokia N95 sound quality and DAC

[IMG]http://www.cnet.com.au/cnet/i/r/2006/mobilephones/22130769/sc003.jpg[/IMG]
Hi
Ive been searching everywhere including Nokia for info and was pointed to this forum! ->
Does anyone know any specifics regarding the nokia N95's Sound Quality??
Specifically:
1. The DAC used in the N95 build?
2. The SQ Differences between the N95 and N91 (build and technical)?
3. The sort of amplification used in the N95?
4. How the amplification (if any) runs through the 3.5mm jack?
5. A comparison to the SQ of a staple player e.g IPOD?
6. Is there a possibility for lineout? (purely a query)
Any help here would be most appreciated !!

Here is the official Nseries specs bout music:
Music Features
• Digital music player - supports MP3/AAC/AAC+/eAAC+/WMA/M4A with playlists and equalizer.
• Integrated handsfree speaker
• OMA DRM 2.0 support for music
• Stereo FM radio (87.5-108MHz /76-90MHz) with Visual Radio support
And I also learnt it has 8 band equalizer.N91 has a special music chip [forgotten who has made it] that was created to beat specially IPOD.Now IPOD has been redesigned but sound still sucks.
Already iREAVER, ZEN has beaten ipod.
I saw a tendency that whoever own this model barely [includin me] support this as best.
But its only upto nokia to keep it still best even after N95 released or not.
Instead can make another model over or as successor.
Plus, I donk think so mainly because y know HDD expansion is easier than SD MMC systems.
And play videos and songs better.
I am sorry that I could not give y a more depth technical feature.
But the fact is IT IS A MUSIC CHEAP ON WHICH LEADIN MUSIC COMPANIES GREATLY RELY ON.
And for nokia it is not impossible to make slightly inferior or superior to N91 Like sound machine and eventually all [music] phone will have this GOOD sound quality as standard....just a thought.
Hope y understand wat I mean.

GD580, its sound quality and its specs

I bought the GD580, and found, to my utmost annoyance: the sound quality is way below my cheapo Panasonic micro system. You know what: I paid USD250 for the GD580 and the same for my micro system.
At one point, I thought that because the GD580 included a decoder, it would enrich my sound if I toured the sound from my system through it to the Creative speakers, using the optical cable. Plainly wrong. Bad speakers or bad amplifier, or bad decoder, or all of those reasons.
Believe me, the sound from GD580 is no way as full as the sound from my system:
- Bass is OK, until you turn up the volume, and it's not bass anymore. I would not call it music.
- Lower Medium is OK,
- Higher Medium and Treble are where my little system would give the GD580 a run for its money!!! It's no way as full as I would have expected. Poor me, wrong decision.
Creative has been well known for its speakers and amplifier, I believed, so I was looking for reasons in the decoder itself. Hey, the website lists virtually no useful info. on the decoder specs. I was wondering if it's the same quality part as used in the stand alone decoder DST-100?
My little system states: they use a 24 bit / 92kHz DAC (digital to analog converter). The Audigy 4 uses a DAC of the same specs. Does anyone know if the decoder in GD580 uses that kind of part? Or just because the GD580 uses a 6 bit / 44.kHz DAC, sound quality is inferior to an average system?
What ever the result, I must say: stay away from this GD580. Anyone has any suggestion for a better system? Further info: I use it in an environment no larger than 5 sqm.
Thanks for reading this lengthy message to its end. But I was frustrated indeed.

Hi softiam,
One thing to note on the MacBook Air, is that it has only one speaker. Unlike all the other Apple portables, there is only one speaker (located in the area of the return, shift, question mark, apostrophe keys).
With mono, versus stereo, sound the quality will sound different but it certainly shouldn't sound washed out. What are you listening to, something through iTunes?
What are you doing on the machine when the fan ramps up? How are you using the machine, is it on your lap, on a desk? What applications are you running?

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

Poor sound quality and distortion

Ever since getting my 27" Imac I've notice the sound quality is poor and bass sounds distort quite a bit and it happens with the computer's speaker, headphones, and streamed audio over the network.
Any ideas on what might be causing this? Sound card or itunes?
Thanks,
Terry

Sounds like an audio circuit issue on your logic board--especially if it does it using headphones too. That almost eliminated the speakers. I would contact Apple and get it looked at.

Sound quality and coolers on Macbook Air

Hello everyone ...I just bought a macbook air (1.86GHz, 128 SSD...) and I'm quite disappointed by its sound quality .... when I pull up the volume it sounds like worn-out speaker. My old macbook white sounds much much better .
Also it's getting hot and the cooler makes disturbing noise like a desktop machine all the time not only when I run applications. Is this common for all the macbook air(s) or I just need to take him to the doctor ?

Hi all, i am one of afortunatelly person who have one Nokia N95 and i like really all functions that it have, i think that Nokia N95 Sound better to Earphones than Nokia N91.

No, there is nothing that can be done to improve the audio quality of N95 further.
N91 wins hands down using the 3.5mm port.
But with that LCG Jukebox you can have more deep bass sound.(A little more)

Why is the sound quality and volume in itunes so different than when I use other media players

This is an issue which has been vexing me for some time. I've researched it all over the web and have not found a worthwhile answer. Some other posts on these forums have asked similar questions without successful answers. But, none the less, I will try...
I have spent a lot of time over the last two years trying to get my itunes library organized as well as getting good digitized versions from my vinyl records as well as CDs. I was pleased with my results and then I added the songs to itunes. I could not believe how inconsistent the sound quality was. Invariably the volume is always lower. [Please do not post a reply such as: Check the volume controls in itunes proper as well as in itunes preferences (i.e., Sound Check, Sound Enhancer) & the Volume Adjustment in the Information pane under Options for particular songs.] I tried all of those means of adjusting volume. They do NOT work.
There is something more insidious at work in itunes which prevent good sound reproduction. I will give an example. I have played Frankie Valle and the Four Season's song "C'Mon Marianne" on the OS X system sound (i.e. clicking the play button to the song file when selected on the desktop or wherever it resides) as well as in Amadeus Pro. The song sounds great. When I play it when it's in the itunes' library the first part of the song is too lound and then when Frankie Valle starts singing his voice is at a significantly reduced volume.
I have edited the foregoing song in Amadeus Pro to a very high volume (i.e., Effects>Amplify), reloaded it into itunes and it still does not inprove the volume of Frankie's voice in the song, even though the rest of the song is somewhat louder. I have played with the Equalizer in itunes to no effect. It just does not work.
Now, I would glading move away from itunes and use another media player. However, I have other Apple devices through which I listen to music. And the only way I know of to listen,e.g., on the iphone is through itunes.
The other related problem with itune, or should I say iCloud, is icloud match. The icloud Match has taken great sounding music and given me back music of an inferior quality, even though it is a Matched AAC format.
I'm am sorry if I am a little peeved about this issue. If anyone has some suggestions or input to a solution, I will be eternally grateful. Thanks a bunch.

fbuerg,
You are welcome. Glad my good fortune was helpful to you.

Sound quality and adjustment

I have a model 32C110U TV and am experiencing poor sound quality (very tinny sounding). I have tried to adjust the audio quality in the sound menu but I cannot detect any change in the various settings that I have made, i.e. if I adjust the bass and(or) treble there is no audible change in the level.
Does anyone have help for this issue?

There is now a fix for this problem you can search for 32C110SNDKT in the top right corner, there is a bulletin that was issued on 10/6/11
http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/support/jsp/outFrm.jsp?ofId=AskIris&searchString=32C110U&x=9...
I am still trying to find out more and called in since I cannot actually read the bulletin since I am a consumer. So far I have found out that it is not a firmware update but a part repair.

6th gen Nano: Sound quality and updates?

So I'm looking at possibly getting a 6G nano, couple questions. How is the sound quality? I recently bought a pair of $75 headphones and was very pleased with the them listening on my ipod touch 2nd gen, not so much on my 2nd gen shuffle. Can anyone compare the sound quality of the 6th gen nano to the 2nd gen ipod touch, or even the 2nd gen shuffle?
One feature that may keep me from buying this is the fact that it automatically sleeps after 60 seconds and there is no way to change this. So you have to wake the thing after every 60 seconds, which would be very annoying, especially if you are on a bike. Can/will apple do an update via itunes to add the ability to change these settings? For example the ipod touch has options to sleep after 1,2,3,4,5 minutes and never sleep. Thanks.

I think the sound is really good for such a small device. I don't notice much of a difference between the 6g nano and my 2nd gen touch. I do use better headphones. For exercise I use some sennheisers and also have a $200 pair of Dr Dre monster head phones that sound great! I do have the soundcheck turned on to even out volume levels between tracks.
I biked today with it clipped the left shoulder of my shirt. Yes...you have to hit the wake button to turn on the screen before you can hit the forward to next track button. Not too hard to get used to once you do it a few times. I do wish there was a way to keep the screen turned on ...maybe in a future firmware upgrade.

Nokia x6 sound quality

alright guys, just about to upgrade my phone to the X6 and I am wondering what the sound quality is like when listening to songs through the headset not the ear phones as the N96 I have is quite tinny sounding and dont want the same again as best sound I heard was through my old N95
chrz

nokia 5800 mops the floor with x6, both in terms of audio through headphone and loudspeaker. (btw it's a sin to use the supplied headset for listening to music. Use a good pair of headphones) .I own both 5800 and X6. I use 5800 without SIM and only as a music player. I wouldn't even touch X6 with a 10 feet pole for music...it's just ain't perfect. I use x6 as phone and that's all. If u want the best audio quality in the world then go for 5800, if u want a overall good phone with good enough audio quality then go for X6.

Nokia N73 picture quality

Just got the N73 today and have to say when transfering pics to ps the quality is poor. The photos are small in size (arount 350Kb max) when on my SE K750i they were closer to 800Kb.
The camera is set to 3mp is there something ells io can do?
Thanks a lot

Joint Photographic Experts Group,or JPEG is always meant that it is under compression.
And RAW is getting increased day by day.
Agree with rkuip.
A raw image file contains minimally processed data from the image sensor of a digital camera or image scanner. Raw files are so named because they are not yet processed and ready to use with a bitmap graphics editor, printed, or displayed by a typical web browser. Normally, the image must be processed and converted to an RGB format such as TIFF or JPEG before it can be manipulated.
Benefits:
early all digital cameras can process the image from the sensor into a JPEG file using settings for white balance, color saturation, contrast, and sharpness that are either selected automatically or entered by the photographer before taking the picture. Cameras that support raw files save these settings in the file, but defer the processing. This results in an extra step for the photographer, so RAW is normally only used when additional computer processing is intended. However, RAW permits much greater control than JPEG for several reasons:
Finer control is easier for the settings when a mouse and keyboard are available to set them. For example, the white point can be set to any value, not just discrete values like "daylight" or "incandescent".
The settings can be previewed and tweaked to obtain the best quality image or desired effect. (With in-camera processing, the values must be set before the exposure). This is especially pertinent to the white balance setting since color casts can be difficult to correct after the conversion to RGB is done.
Camera raw files have 12 or 14 bits of brightness information. But you cannot compare this number alone to other methods. JPEG stores a brightness gradient in an 8-bit number every 4 or 8 pixels and stores color values even more infrequently depending on the parameters used. Because of this JPEG loses fine details and is ill-suited for major color or brightness changes. By comparison the mosaicing used by the Bayer filter in raw files changes colors every 3-4 pixels and brightness every 1-2 pixels producing much finer resolution detail in a same size image. And because it is 12-bit each of these values are far more precise.
The working color space can be set to whatever is desired.
Different demosaicing algorithms can be used, not just the one coded into the camera.
Could it be applicable to mobile phones tooMessage Edited by korngear on 16-Feb-2007

Losing Sound Quality and Wont Play

Please Help Me
I am Mixing Music on CS6 and then saving the file (tried most file types) I then drag it over to Itunes in which it will play? However the quality has been reduced and also it will sync to my ipod but will not play it just skips by the track
Please Help Me
This would be life changing :-)

Well, it's hard to be specific without a bit more detail on what you're doing, but...
Instead of trying lots of file types, stick to PCM wave files for your recording, editing and mixing. For the sake of standardising, use 16 bit, 44.1kHz sampling.
When you have your final version ready, save a proper wave file master copy then use Save As to make an MP3 copy and drag THAT into iTunes. This'll still result in a loss in quality--it happens any time you move from uncompressed original files to a compressed version. However, this is the way I do things and it seems okay to me.

NOKIA 5800 Sound Quality PROBLEM!!!!

I can't hide my disappointment with this phone... I was expecting much more for my 430 Euros = 840 AUD which I paid, I can't hear other side properly ? if anyone said this to me that this is going to be a problem with nokia phone I would tell himt hat he is nuts... anyway its not my incompetencess it is THE PHONE... when I'm having call with the full network intensity my volume varies dramatically like from low to mid and high ???? I can't hear people well? And I dont know what is going on but I tried with several sim cards and several other people... and it is the same!!!!!!!!!
I got my phone online and it is one day old, and I don't want to risk and send it to Hong Kong coz i live in Australia Perth-WA this is the WORST EXPERIENCE

I have to agree with sapporobaby here. The moral to this story is not to buy an expensive device outside of the country in which you live. I have been thinking of getting a phone from mobicity. Only problem all their phones come from hong kong and are not covered by warranty in Australia. If I am spending $800 plus on a device I want warranty cover in the country that I live. End of story. So do not blame Nokia. If you got your phone from HK that is now your problem. So why should Nokia in Australia repair a phone you bought in HK. Don't think you would get much joy from the consumer affairs people in Australia either.
Well we started off the new year agreeing. There is hope for anything now. Are you guys listening over in Palestine and Israel?
Anyway, nothing is covered internationally now. Maybe one or two things but most electronics aren't, even if you can prove your product is authentic. I have a registered Nikon camera that was purchased in Kuwait. Nikon USA found the product code from my camera but told me if it needs repair, I will have to either: 1. Board a plane to take it back to Kuwait, or 2. Send it to a local repair shop for them to send it to Kuwait where I will pay the shipping but get the warranty work for free, or 3. arrange to ship it myself with me still picking up some part of the tab. So, once again, go buy something else and get over it.
