Poor Internet Channel Sound Quality

Hi,
I've recently updated to the new YouView+ box from the first generation one, and have started watching more of the internet channels, as I've got the Entertainment package now (Nat Geo, Discovery etc.).
I've noticed the sound quality can be quite poor at times. The sound has that slightly tinny edge that you would get on a really low quality MP3. I thought upgrading to the HD channels would improve it but sadly not.
Does anyone else have the same issue?
Thanks

try changing soudn from stereo to surround mode, the sound quality depends on channels broadcasting some tv series are broadcasted in 5.1 but most of them in 2 ch AAC.

Nokia Internet radio - sound quality

I’m using Nokia Internet radio, but sound quality is very poor /yes i have selected "high quality"/, it sounds like music is playing from bath, can Nokia team check this issue? My phone is N8.
Thank you very much in advance,
Michal

Poor iPhone4 (iPod) sound quality

I have an iPhone4 (iOS-4.3.4 | 32GB) that is only 1 month old and I'm finding that the phone's iPod sound quality basically stinks. It's extremely tin can quality even Vs my iPod. My cheap earbuds that came with the iPod sound 1000% better than my $400 Monster earbuds.
I know that unlike the iPod you can download your music on the iPhone at about any data size, but went with the lower to keep the size of the music library smaller. But, did that kill the sound quality or is there some problem with the iPhone4 and the way it operates, especially on the iPod?
The same music sounds fine on the iPod, but when played on the iPhone4 the quality is so bad that it hurts my ears. It's like I'm listening to music between two tin cans attached by sting.
Is there a way around this or is this just simply a problem with the iPhone4?
It's amazing that my tiny iPodnano can produce better sound than the iPhone4 even with the same headphones or earbuds.
Thanks for any hints...
Mike

I have not tried it with the phone on, it's always been in the airplane mode when I listen to the music. So with airplane mode the 3G and Wi-Fi are off. Not sure what BT is.
Odd thing is that podcasts, tv shows and films all are okay ... I don't hear any real difference. It's only with the music. Know that when I downloaded my music from both the MBP and MBA I used the lower bit rate, but would not think that should make a difference. Since the iPodnano is loaded at the same bit rate as well.
There are previous posts here in Discussions that seem to show there is a problem with the iPod on the iPhone4. But, most of those were posted in the last year with nothing recent. So if it was an iPhone4 firmware issue I thought maybe it had been resolved over time. Now I'm wondering.
I did just to the latest update this week on the iPhone4, maybe that's what did it?

Sky Go sound quality is poor

Sky Go sound quality is poor, hollow and reverb like, and happens with 'on demand', 'on now' and I assume also 'downloads'. Sky Go is a great concept and feature, but this sound issue significantly reduces your enjoyment and deters you from using it. Other broadcaster apps work fine for me, When will this Sky one be fixed?

just to clarify on Omicron's comment "Used Sky Go on my iPad 4 iOS 7 - no sound problems; " - Do you actually mean no problems, but the sound quality is still poor? The point of this thread is to highlight the ongoing poor sound quality in Sky Go across all platforms, which many people on here suspect is due to overcompression. Could you confirm you are still having these issues, otherwise i am worried moderators may suspect the issue is fixed, which i can confirm from an episode of Blacklist on the train this morning is certainly not the case. Sound is still tinny, quiet and washed out on any downloaded porgram on iOS. Any news on if a fix for this is going to be in an update any time soon??? Omicron wrote:
Hi, Further to my earlier response I have now done the following: Used Sky Go on my iPad 4 iOS 7 - no sound problems; Streamed a short film from You Tube using my PC - no problems; Installed the BBC iPlayer on my PC and streamed Atlantis - no problem. So I'm reasonably confident that: The sound card on my PC is behaving itself; There is no problem with the original recording on the BBC; There i no problm with the Sky recording on my iPad. One possible conclusion is that Internet Explorer 11 version 11.0.9600.16384, and Google Chrome Version 30.0.1599.101 m working under Windows 8.1 64 bit are not fully compatible with Sky Go. Bob

Poor sound quality in timeline and export; fine in Source?

Hello all.
Newbie to Pr but experienced pro in digital audio. I'm stumped and know I'm just missing something somewhere.
I've made a music video for one of my songs. The graphics are all done (in AE), imported to Pr and eveything looks great. I import the final mix of the audio and it sounds very low quality when played from the timeline and in the final output, regardless of format (I've tried several presets and custom settings as well). I played around and noticed that the audio sounds fine when played from the Source window inside Premier.
The Pr session is comrised of 18 video tracks (not all playing at once, of course) and one stereo audio track.
I've tried re-exporting the audio from Logic at different bit depths, sample rates and file formats (mp3, wav, AAC, etc) but the results are the same every time: Source (Pr)sounds fine, Logic output sounds fine, rendered / timeline playback sounds like very low quality mp3 and final product sounds just as bad.
I've tried everything I can think of. I hope one of you can show me what I'm missing.
TIA!

Thank you for the reply!
I was experiencing the same results no matter what export settings I used. Plus the poor sound quality was present in the timeline itself, without even exporting the project.
I finally threw my hands up, started a completely new project, drug the same audio file in... sounded fine. Copied / Pasted the video clips from the original, broken project and boom, eveything is fixed. Yeah, corrupted Pr file it turns out. All I had to do was start a new project and import all the old components.
I've had to do this in Logic a lot (increasingly, these days). I just wish I'd tried it 10 hours earlier! Ha.
Anyway, problem solved, and thanks very much!

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.

Improve/extend equalizer and add 3D sound. Sound quality really poor.

I've been using the 2g nano for a while now and i must say the audio quality is really poor if compared with my 3 year old iRiver (which only has 256mb memory). Lots of people keep saying how great the sound quality is but i believe people saysing that just dont know any better. For those who do hear the difference the only satisfaction is the storage capacity.
The Equalizer is a big shock. People (even Apple fans) say its best to leave it off for improvement. Why ? because turned on the music gets heavily distorted. People even blame their earbuds. So people go off and buy a €40 earbud just for that extra bit of improvement which the nano should already provide with the nano itself.
So this is what should be done :
- improve overall sound quality
- add custom equalizer
- add Xtreme 3D sound (= is a really big ++ iRiver users understand)

Poor sound quality after update on iPhone4 to iOS6

Any one with the same problem ?
After upgrading to iOS 6 on my iPhone 4, the sound quality during phone calls is very poor.
The other side is ok with listening.
The phone is not modified (unlocked and oth....)
Any advice is welcome !
Thanks !

Work in a professional studio and often use my itunes from my iphone 4gs to record sounds and samples. I have notice since the iso 6 update there is very poor quality sound coming from my phone now. It's seems the bit quality is very poor also the volume. I also noticed the songs are using way more power from the phone while playing.... Apple should really address these issues...a lot of loyal costumers, such as myself use Apple products in the music industry everyday. We have grown to expect certain standards and quality from Apple products and it seems you are taking steps backwards not forwards.

Poor sound quality on airtunes and airport express

I recently configured a new Airport Extreme base station and two airport expresses. I used the airport expresses to extend my network but the sound quality is very poor when I run itunes no my stero. can anyone tell me why and how to fix it. The sound is very scratchy and there is no volume.

Dear All,
I'd like to follow up because I think that the answer to why I am getting poor sound quality my be in how I set up my wireless network. I'd like to get some feedback about this and some help about how to correct it.
My wireless network has three components.
1. "Base Station" which is a new Airport Extreme.
2. Unit "Number 1" which is an Airport Express located in my living room and connected to my stereo. it is 30 feet away from the "Base Station."
3. Unit "Number 2", also an Airport Express that is upstairs in a bedroom and connected to a ruby imac. via its ethernet port.
Wireless strength is excellent in all locations and all other services are working well from a laptop, the ruby mac or the imac. My problem only seems readily apparent when playing itunes through the stereo's speakers.
My wireless system is configured as follows:
Base Station: Wireless mode is set to participate in wireless network and to allow this network to be extended. The WDS mode is main and is set to allow wireless clients. The two airport expresses are identified by ID number as remotes.
Unit 1 and 2 are configured as WDS remotes and to allow wireless clients and identify the base station as WDS main.

Poor sound quality with NAD amplifier

I have tried connecting my airport express to a NAD amplifier and using my ipod touch as a remote. The sound quality is very poor - too much bass. I am using quality cables from the 3.5 jack to phono input on the amp. Any suggestions.

As Bob has eluded to, the key is NOT to use your system's PHONO jack for input from the AirPort Express. (ref: Using AirPort Express with the Phono jack on your stereo)

POOR SOUND QUALITY

I HAVE HAD MY IPOD NANO FOR ABOUT 3 MONTHS. TODAY THE SOUND QUALITY IS REALLY POOR, CRACKLY. I HAVE TRIED DIFFERENT EARPHONES AND THAT IS NOT THE PROBLEM. I HAVE TRIED MY EARPHONES IN A DIFFERENT NANO AND THAT IS NOT THE PROBLEM. I HAVE RESTORED THE FACTORY SETTINGS ON THE NANO, ADDED A NEW SONG AND THE SOUND IS STILL THE SAME. I ADDED THREE SONGS YESTERDAY, COULD I HAVE PICKED UP SOME SORT OF VIRUS? HOW DO I RETURN MY IPOD TO APPLE FOR REPAIR IF THERE IS A PROBLEM? REGARDS JAYWOL.

Poor sound quality in IPhone 5 using a LifeProof waterproof case.

I have an IPhone 5, using a LifeProof waterproof case. Sound quality is very poor when in case, Lifeproof says to have Apple adjust the Foreground/Background settings - how can I do this?

This is a common complaint. Get a different case.

Poor sound quality Through Airport Express

Airport Express is connected to home stereo. sound quality is very poor?? I've tried it from both my computer & Ipad. Both are equally bad??? Music sounds normal on Computer & Ipad but terrible through the Airport express

Music sounds normal on Computer & Ipad but terrible through the Airport express
Temporarily, I suggest that you connect a pair of headphones directly to the AirPort Express. How does that sound?
If things sound good, you know that the Express is functioning correctly and that you likely have have a problem in the connecting cable from the Express to your stereo equipment, as Koloss suggests.

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.

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.
