Problem with Joint Stereo

Hello all,
I have a weird problem which seems to be related to Joint Stereo MP3's played in iTunes (I have 10.3.1 but I've noticed it since an older version). The Stereo sound is a little weird compared to normal Stereo. I also imported the Joint Stereo MP3 in Logic Pro and it sounds ok in there (also had problem when exporting projects from Logic Pro in Joint Stereo Mp3 sounding different than the project itself in iTunes; but it did sound right using normal Mp3). Do you know what the problem could possibly be or is iTunes just that bad in Mp3 decoding ?
Thanks.

I doubt sending Apple a request to allow users to choose their own decoder will have any effect on the product, hmm.
Per my observation about "half-hearted," I too would not expect much response to such a request. But if you fell like giving it a try, use the Feedback Page.

Can you help with technical problems with the stereo imagry option

can you help with a technical problem with the stereo imagery option ? it won't take out lead vocal in a stereo mp3'

Because this forum software is so absolutely USELESS now, you don't get to see the whole of the question in this view. In the other (non-list) view it says:
"can you help with a technical problem with the stereo imagery option ? it won't take out lead vocal in a stereo mp3"
And the answer is that if you can't isolate the vocal in the stereo field, or it is one of these odd ones where it's used inverted polarity in different parts of the stereo signal for the same vocal, then you won't be able to. But without a sample, it's impossible to tell. If you can post a link to one, that might help. It has to be external to this site though - Adobe in their infinite wisdom don't allow the posting of audio files on their audio U2U forum. Helpful, that, isn't it?

E71 problem with BT stereo headphones

Hello!
I have got a E71 and I have a problem with the BT stereo headphones (Model Clip IIs of I-TECH I have some time with other phones and I have never given any problem) I use to listen to MP3s on my SD, and the fact that at some point the sound begins to 'stutter', that is no longer playing but continues to sobs, the sound comes and goes ... it does not always but sometimes, and sometimes no But often jumps out the problem and I have to close the player, wait a while 'and then restart it. Given that the first thing I did was upgrade to the latest version noBrand FW 110.07.127 RM-436 09/10/2008, but has not resolved ...

I think this is due to the phone's CPU getting overloaded by having to recompress the audio stream for A2DP (the BT profile used for stereo). Avoid running any other apps when you're listening to music and see what happens.

Blutooth Problem with car stereo and iPhone5

Got new iPhone 5 yesterday and paired it with car stereo for handsfree use. When I make a call I can use radio answer button and the speakers. When I receive a call I can only use handset. iPhone 4 worked fine so I doubt it is the car. I deleted and repaired the phone yet still the same issue. Help?

Hey nippers1!
It does sound like we have a conflict with your device and your car Bluetooth. Thanks for doing that great troubleshooting! I would like to ask, have you checked with your car manufacture to see if the phone was compatible with your car's Bluetooth? Sometimes different devices that have different Bluetooth profiles will work differently. Can other iPhone 5s connect at all? Can your iPhone 5 connect and use other Bluetooths fully? Also, are you having any problems with making and receiving calls in general? Also, is your device up to date? Please make sure it is on the most current software. Please report back!

Thanks

Exporting a book as PDF - problem with joint pages

Hello,
I'm trying to export a book that has many chapters. Each chapter is a single file. Each document starts with an odd page and finishes with an even page.
What the command is doing is something like this image below. Where page 4 for example is 4 & 5 joint together. Is there any way to tell it to print individual pages to PDF?
Thank you!

Looks like you're trying to export to interactive PDF. By default that exports spreads and you get what you are seeing.
You can either change to export to PDF (Print) (and lose button functionality), or you can run a script to change the behavior of interactive export. One place you'll find the script is at Interactive PDF from InDesign CS5 Always Has Spreads On | InDesignSecrets

FIle check problem with car stereo

Have a IPod photo, using an iPod compatible JVC stereo in the car, with Ipod adapter.
Was working fine for a couple of weeks, but now just keeps saying file check. Used to file check for a few seconds and then the Ipod could be accessed through the deck. Now file check just keeps flashing.
The Ipod itself says "ready to disconnect", with the menu flashing up every few seconds for a split second, as if it is about to connect (but then it doesn't do so).
Help!?!

Help! Nano problem with car stereo transmitters

We've bought 2 different FM transmitters from Best Buy - were told either would work with the Nano. Both did work with the Mini, but we get total silence when we connect the Nano. Took one back - still have the Griffin model. Anyone else having this problem?

There's a problem some here have reported (and I've experienced once) in which the nano won't output sound through the dock connector without a reset.
From the support site:
"Reset your iPod by toggling the Hold switch on and off (set it to Hold, and then turn it off again). Then press and hold the Center and Menu buttons for at least 6 seconds, until the Apple logo appears."
Give that a try and if it doesn't work, it may need to be replaced. Note that only the FM transmitters that work with the dock connector will probably work with the Nano. I know the Monster ICarPlay does work, as I use it with my nano frequently.

Joint Stereo Balance Issues with Headphones iPod iPad iTunes 10.5.0.142

This is a cross posting.
I'm running iTunes 10.5.0.142 on windows vista SP2. I have an old nano (2nd gen) and an iPad (1st gen).
Most of the files in my library are MP3 encoded using iTunes with default joint-stereo settings.
All of my library seems to want play through the Left stereo channel whenever I have headphones plugged in, either on my laptop, on my ipad, or ipod. Same thing. Doesn't matter what set of headphones (and YES I have switched the phones in my ears, so I'm not going deaf). I've cleaned my ear buds.
I've reencoded some of the files to AAC on iTunes Plus - the result is the same. The thing is that all of the settings indicate stereo in some form. NONE are mono. I can hear the track really really faintly on the right channel, but it's constantly as if I'm going deaf in one ear, and I'm not.
The REALLY strange things are this - when played out of my laptop speakers, there are no issues with balance. Neither are there issues when I play through Airplay to an Airport Express set up.
I've gone through my files, and it doesn't matter which ones. This problem occured before, but I think it cleared up quickly with an iTunes update at somepoint.
IT is RIDICULOUS. I do not have this issue with any other audio on my laptop, and it only started when I updated to 10.5.0.142. I haven't actually changed anything in the library other than that.
Please let me know if something is going on or what I'm missing here.

I noticed this problem first on my Windows 7x64 i3 laptop... I'd rather it not happen. Knowing how helpful Apple has been in the past at actually solving Windows problems. You might consider uninstalling and just syncing to iCloud unless you have a lot of music. As for me, I'm uninstalling it again on my laptop.

Any ideas on problem with ipod and alpine cde-9881 car stereo

I have an ipod 60gb v 1.2.1 and a new Alpine car stereo with Ipod connecting cable. When connected, the stereo message reads IPod searching. It never assumes control of ipod,or quits searching. I have reset and restored my ipod, had the apple geek at genius bar check it out. My ipod does not play on the alpine ipod ready stereo in my husband's car, nor the stereos in Car Toys. My husband's 30 gb ipod plays on the stereo in his car AND my car. Help! Anyone have any ideas on how to fix this problem? Alpine is telling me it could be a software problem with my ipod, and to revert to an earlier version of itunes. But my husband's ipod works in my car. So I did a restore using his computer and itunes....no luck. am interested in any ideas on a possible solution!!
Thanks in advance

Have you had a chance to look at this troubleshooting page? If not, have a look at the bottom section that covers what to try if the message keeps reappearing: iTunes has detected an iPod in recovery mode - Use iTunes to restore
Towards the end it says "If after restoring your iPod, the message described above reappears, the iPod drive letter may need to be reassigned. See the "Change the Drive Letter" section of this document for steps to assign a different drive letter" which contains a link to this article: Windows confuses iPod with network drive and iTunes may exhibit strange behavior in relation to the iPod.

Stereo Out Problem with Macbook Aluminium(Late 2008) Debian OS

Hello. I'm using my Macbook Aluminium(Late 2008) with 2 operation systems: Snow Leopard(10.6.8) & Debian Squeeze (6.0.4). I've no problem with OsX side, works fast & great. But I've got a interesting problem with Linux side. Everything works but Stereo Speaker. I realized that my macbook uses only one output(right speaker works, left doesn't), so I can't listen stereo music on Linux side. Debian uses ALSA Audio aoutomaticly. I've already asked Debian forums but noone able to solve my problem, so I decided to ask here with my last hope.
What I tried:
1- used ''speaker-test -c 2'' terminal code & I've seen this message
speaker-test 1.0.23
Playback device is default
Stream parameters are 48000Hz, S16_LE, 2 channels
Using 16 octaves of pink noise
Rate set to 48000Hz (requested 48000Hz)
Buffer size range from 2048 to 8192
Period size range from 1024 to 1024
Using max buffer size 8192
Periods = 4
was set period_size = 1024
was set buffer_size = 8192
0 - Front Left
1 - Front Right
Time per period = 5.823448
2- Checked Debian's Audio Settings, everything seems normal.
3- Installed Pulse Audio, but it used Alsa base so nothing chanced. In Pulse Volume Control Panel, I saw I've got only Mono Output. But I there is no section for change to stereo.
4- Uninstalled ALSA & installed OSS4 but OSS4 simply doesn't work. So turned back to ALSA.
5- My stereo works only with headphone on Debian.

There is a problem with the left headphone or stereo headphone jack connection in the ipod touch 2nd generation

I have had my ipod touch 2nd generation for 3 yrs. Now its been a year with this problem but i never seem to get it fixed because i lost my warranty and repair certificate a year ago. So the problem is whenever I put in a headphone jack for some reason only the right head phone or right speaker works not the left, but when i place the ipod on the docking port both speakers on my stereo work.
Now I have taken great care of this thing. Never lost it. I assume that a connection inside the jack port is pushed in from debrie (forgot how to spell that word) because, I always place my ipod into my pocket. The only way to get the left speaker or headphone to work is to push on the headphone jack so it tilts, then the left speaker works; but when i release it the left speaker or headphone turns off or stop making sound. So i know its not wiring problems its the connection for the headphone jack to the ipods jack's connection for the left speaker. Though microphones work.
My question is can this be a DIY or do i have to take it in to a local apple store. Problem i lost the warranty and protection repair form or license 2 years ago. I have had no problems with my ipod at all these years until this problem has consisted to happen since last year.
Anything?
Thanks,
Sigma119

- If you want to replace the headphone jack yourself see:

- Apple will only exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price, You get a new battery. However, it may not be worth it for a 2G iPod.

Samsung Fascinate, problems with playing music via USB port on car stereo

Before the update, I could play the music files on my Fascinate via the USB port on my Kenwood stereo, and control basic functions such as skip, pause etc. Now, my stereo does not recognize the device, and cannot read the files. I went to local Verizon store where a sales rep tried to connect it in here new Kia Soul and it didn't recognize the device either. It will play via the AUX jack, but I lose player control and the phone does not charge via the AUX cable. She did a hard reset which did not resolve the problem. We tried one of the other employee's Fascinate in my car, which did not work either.
So, after hoping to be able to stream music via Pandora, Jango etc thru the USB port after the update, now it seems its primary function is for charging.
Also, the ALL SHARE function, which I used to get the music on my phone originally, does not work now.
Anyone else have this issue with music player and USB connection?

txgopher- I have personally never used my Fascinate to listen to music via USB via stereo however, I can see why it would be frustrating for you to no longer be able to do so when it was never an issue prior to the update.
It sounds as though you and the store rep already did some troubleshooting by trying to duplicate the problem with another car, stereo and even doing the final troubleshooting step which is a master reset.
Since you have done all of the necessary troubleshooting steps to no avail, it most definitely appears as though the software update has interfered with that USB connection in some way.
What I have done is forwarded the information you have provided to Samsung in order for them to look into this concern as well as come up with a way to get this resolved.
Please stay tuned because as soon as we hear back from Samsung we will be sure to update this forum with the results/findings.

Audition problems with ASI5211 analog pair & AES stereo in at same time ...

That is, the Audio Science ASI5211 card is advertised as essentially a 4 mono channel input card, 2 of which are analog and 2 are digital. However, I haven't been able to get Audition (CS5.5 or CS6) to recognize this capability. The ASIO/MME/WDM driver sets supplied by Audio Science (so far, versions 4.10.7 through 4.10.20) and its associated desktop driver control panel seem to show this ability as 2 separate stereo audio streams that can be set to pass either of the physical stereo input sources (Analog & AES). I select one stream as analog and the other as AES, but I can't seem to map these streams/inputs discretely inside Audition in the "Multitrack" view to 4 different channels.
If I use the ASIO driver class in Audition, I'm only shown a single "Default Input" stream (# 1) and can select among either the left or right physical input to map to the left or right stereo Audition channel. This appears to be the limit of my choices in the "Multitrack" input select view as well.
If I use the MME (WDM) driver class, I can select between the 2 streams (#1 and #2) as "Default Input" but again, whichever "stream" is selected, that's the only choice I get in the "Multitrack" input select view ...
I also have another instance of Audition that is running on a pair of ASI5644 cards (4 stereo record streams per card) and the ASIO driver class, that I don't seem to have this kind of problem with.
The Audio Science drivers are a "monlithic" kinda deal in that the one package is intended for most (if not all) of their product.
Any ideas?

I hope this is at least somewhat clear.
Thanks in advance for your time and attention.

Steve,
Thanks for the response. I was able to get an answer about this from Audio Science and it appears that, like a number of things, this capability of deriving 4 discrete "mono" channels (2 Analog + 2 AES) from the ASI5211 card *WAS* possible in Audition v3 using Windows drivers, but it was amputated from subsequent versions of Audition.
What I was told was that the absence of this ability, using the current ASIO driver, is somehow due to the hardware architecture of the card. Not much more was revealed.
Nothing at all was removed from Audition's ability to pick up and send correctly formatted ASIO streams - otherwise just about every other user would have screamed from the rooftops, and it would have easily been picked up in beta testing.
Reading between the lines, I'd say that they were being 'economical' with the truth here. What it amounts to is that they've screwed up their ASIO driver - period.
