Problems fixing low audio

I encountered a problem in trying to fix low audio. The audio that was captured was too low, so I attempted to fix it by copying and pasting the same audio track in 4 times - so there are now 6 audio tracks with the same audio. This seemed to increase the overall audio level nicely while using FCE.
However once the video was exported (Print to Video) to DVD, the audio level was very low again even though it sounded great in FCE. It's as if the additional audio tracks are not being picked for export at all. Is there any reason why the additional tracks are not being picked up?
Thank you,
Julie

Hi Julie,
I did this successfully several months ago. I hope my memory serves me right.
There is a little icon on the bottom left of the screen (the tool tip will say "Toggle Clip Overlays" when you are hovered above the icon). I clicked on that and a line appeared in my audio clip. I moused over the line in my audio clip until my mouse changed to a double-sided arrow, then I clicked and dragged the line up. This increased the sound nicely. I hope this works as easily for you as it did for me.

  • Fixing Low Audio?

    What's the best way to fix extremely low volume in on a DV audio track? From what I can tell, iMovie has only limited gain adjustment.
    I'm looking for something that can normalize audio that is recorded far too low, by say 30db or so. I have to do it for a lot of files so ideally the fix would not be too time consuming.
    Thanks.

    Hello,
    The quickest way to adjust the volume of multiple DV audio track files is to:
    1) Import the DV audio tracks into iTunes.
    2) Select all the files you wish to adjustment.
    3) Once all files have been selected, get info from the edit menu.
    4) Change the volume adjustment.
    5) Export the files from iTunes and import them back into iMovie. (You can drag them onto the desktop and then from the desktop to iMovie)

  • This message recently popped up on my PC - "iTunes has detected a problem with your audio configuration. Audio/video playback may not operate properly." What does this mean and how to fix ??

    Hi Everyone - recently this message popped up on my PC, when I was trying to import cd's into the iTunes library and then onto my iPod - "iTunes has detected a problem with your audio configuration. Audio/video playback may not operate properly." Can anyone tell me what this means and how to fix it ?? I am not fantastically PC savvy, so any information explained fully and all steps to follow to get my music playing again would be great !! Thanks, SC

    Hi B, thanks so much for helping me troubleshoot !!
    Ok, so when I went in to check the Audio tab of the Sounds and Audio Device Properties, I found the following:-
    * Sound Playback Default Device = No Playback Devices.
    * Sound Recording Default Device = No Playback Devices.
    * MIDI Music Playback Default Device = No MIDI Playback Devices.
    All text in this drop-down box were light grey, and therefore unable to be selected or altered.
    I also tried playing a cd through Windows Media player, to see if I could get sound a different way. When I put the cd in and clicked on Play, the following message appeared, "Windows Media Player cannot play the file because there is a problem with your sound device. There may not be a sound device installed on your PC, it may be in use by another program, or it may not be functoning properly."
    Any ideas ? I had sound previously, but then a work colleague re-built the PC to add more space to the hard drive, and since then, no sound. I know this may now not just be an iTunes issue, but I would appreciate any assistance you can offer.
    Thanks again,
    Shell

  • Audio Problem Fix

    I had a problem of the audio playing very slow in iDVD 6 after importing from iMovie 6. The movie was over 90 minutes in length. Here is what I had to do.
    1. Export the movie to Quicktime at highest quality.
    2. Set up a new project in iMovie and import the Quicktime movie that was just created.
    3. Put the chapter markers back in and then send to iDVD.
    This took care of the garbled (Slow) audio problem for me.
    This is the first time that I had worked with the iLife 6 suite and so I'm not sure if this is a recurring problem in going from iMovie to iDVD.

    It turns out that pzalkind was right. Turning off the QoS Packet Scheduler feature solves the problem. I was just doing it wrong.
    For those who haven't solved this problem,
    If you have windows xp this is what you have to do:
    -right click on the local area connection icon in the system tray and click on "open network connection"
    -then right click on your active connection and click on properties.
    -there you are going to see some features like "Client for Microsoft Network", "File and Print Sharing", "QoS PACKET SCHEDULER," and "Internet Protocol TCP/IP",
    - UNCHECK the box where it says QoS packet scheduler and hit OK.
    Everything should work after that. Thank you pzalkind for the tip.

  • Has anyone else had a problem with the audio not keeping up with the video when switching to full screen on YouTube?

    Hi. I have a OS X Yosemite Version 10.10.1 Mac Book Air, Processor 1.86 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo.
    Has anyone else had a problem with the audio not keeping up with the video when switching to full screen on YouTube?
    The video starts out fine, but if I click on the expand icon in the lower right corner of the screen the audio won't keep up.
    Refreshing the page don't help at all. In fact, nothing seems to help once it starts.
    I did not have this problem at all using Mavericks. The problem started after installing Yosemite.
    Any way to fix it?

    only $99, i thought it was closer to $175.

  • Low audio levels on itunes purchased music video's

    Can anyone tell me how to boost the audio levels on purchased itunes music video's ?
    I have purchased a few videos lately from the itunes music store and occasionally I find the odd one which has very low audio levels. I assume that itunes has not monitored some video/audio files closely enough when importing them into the in tunes system itself and the audio levels have fallen a little low on certain tracks. Have a look at some of the Eurythmics songs - 'Angel', 'Missionary Man', or 'Best of You' by the Foo Fighters for example.I have boosted these tracks by 100% within the in itunes track options, but its still a very low level compared to some of the other tracks I have downloaded.
    I tried to import one of these video files to Mpeg Stream Clip to see if I could use the audio boost function within that program but it didn't like the video file ? I presume because it was an itunes purchased video, therefore a protected file.
    Does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this or what setting I should be using, doing with Mpeg Streamclip to fix this problame if this program can fix this issue ?

    yes i have exactly same problem. Was all working fine till I upgraded to iTunes v8.1.
    TV shows, everything works fine... its just music videos dont show the video, no matter which setting I choose?
    Help please!!!

  • ITunes has detected a problem with you audio configuration

    "iTunes has detected a problem with your audio configuration. Audio/Video playback may not operate properly." got this error after update to Windows 8.1

    If you do a google search of this "error" message, there are some good links to how to fix it, assuming it's a problem with Quicktime.  I took a look at my programs file and found that it somehow had been deleted.  After downloading again, though, I still had this problem.  Turns out I had a problem with the actual speaker software of my computer - the icon in the lower right corner had the 'mute' symbol, and was stuck there.  When I went to change that to actually playing sound, the computer did an analysis on its own and fixed the problem, which fixed the problem in iTunes too.
    Good luck!

  • Low Audio on Camera since ios 6

    Anyone else having this problem? I just noticed it after the upgrade, camera has LOW audio.
    Anyone else?
    Thanks,
    -Patrick

    this worked for my Iphone 4
    Go to:
    Settings
    General
    Accesability
    Assistive touch - switch to on.
    using the assistive touch (the white circle that now appears on your screen), go to:
    Device
    Then tap the bell (mute) icon.
    This should fix the issue. To test it (without having to wait for someone to call you) write an SMS and see if the keyboard clicks are audible.
    I hope this solves your issue like it did mine. If it doesn't maybe try tapping that mute icon again and/or flicking the actual mute bottom on the left hand side of your iPhone.

  • I just moved my itunes library from a win 7 computer to a win 8.1 computer. Getting an error message "iTunes has detected a problem with your audio configuration. Audio/Video playback may not operate properly. Can't play CDs or get audio file from web!

    Help! I just moved my itunes library from a Win 7 computer to a new Win 8.1 computer following the instructions on the itunes website. Everything is good except I'm getting an error message on the Win 8 computer if I try to play a CD or get an audio file off of the internet. I get an error message that says "iTunes has detected a problem with your audio configuration. Audio/Video playback may not operate properly. I don't know where to look for or fix the audio configuration on the win 8 computer. As far as I can tell the iTunes configuration looks the same as on the other computers in the house. At this point I don't dare plug my ipod touch into the Win 8 computer for fear it will get messed up.

    I have the same problem and I know that it is due to my PCI Audio driver not being compatible with WIndows 8.1.
    iTunes isn't the only program that can't direct sound to the built-in speakers anymore. The obvious solution would be to update the drivers, but unfortunately Dell does not provide an updated driver for my model, so I am stuck with that.
    However, saying that, only my laptop speakers are affected by this. I can use sound fine on applications where I can choose the output device and direct sound to the head phones, but for some reason iTunes does not let you choose the audio device manually.
    To listen to music I imported the iTunes Library in Windows Media Player and changed the audio output using the following instructions: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/c00d11ba
    However, I would also like to rent movie's from iTunes, 
    Would be great if iTunes would let you choose the output device, too, like most other applications using sound  from Skype to Windows Media Player,...

  • How do I fix horrbile audio?

    Right now I'm editing some work for a friend and the audio on all his footage is beyond horrible. Its too loud and all distorted. I've tried messing with all the audio filters I have from FCP Studio and I can't seem to make it decent. I know I cant get it perfect but when the audience starts to clap or laugh, it hurts my ears. I play around with the hum remover filter the most and I still cant achieve decent audio. I'll be using close to nothing of the audio from the camera but there are three speechs that are important.
    How can I fix this audio problem? What filters and modifications should I use?
    Dual 1 GHz PowerPC G4   Mac OS X (10.3.9)  

    You can't. Once the audio is distorted in a digital recording it's gone. There is no way to salvage the distortion. It's just clipped. You can reduce the level to make it less painful, but there is no way to recover the sound that has been clipped.

  • Problem detected with audio configuration

    I have had itunes for a few years now and never had a problem i just recently updated to itunes 7 and it worked fine for about a day and since then i have not been able to open it i have tried uninstalling and reinstalling, whe i try to open it i get the message "iTunes cannot run because it has detected a problem with your audio configuration" anyone know how to fix that?

    "iTunes cannot run because it has detected a problem with your audio configuration"
    that is usually caused by a problem with your QuickTime. (itunes uses QuickTime for audio and video playback.)
    so let's first try swapping out your QuickTime.
    head into your Add/Remove programs. uninstall QuickTime.
    Next, we’ll manually remove any leftover program files and folders.
    1. On the Start menu, click My Computer (or double-click My Computer on the Desktop).
    2. In My Computer, open Local Disk.
    3. Open Program Files.
    4. Right-click on the QuickTime folder and click Delete from the shortcut menu.
    5. Navigate to C:\Windows\system32\.
    6. Remove the files QuickTime.qts and QuicktimeVR.qtx.
    7. Restart your computer.
    next, we'll get a fresh copy of QuickTime into your PC by doing a repair install of itunes.
    switch off antivirus and antispyware applications prior to the repair install.
    go into Add/Remove and select itunes. click "Change" and then click "Repair".
    if the repair install goes through okay, restart the PC and try launching itunes again. does it launch properly now?

  • I have a problem with the audio on a movie I downloaded

    I am having a problem with the audio on a movie that I downloaded.  It is scratchy and difficult to listen to.  How can I fix this?

    Depending upon what country that you are in (films can't be re-downloaded in all countries) then try deleting the film from your iTunes library and redownload it via the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes (or delete it from your iOS device and redownload it via the Purchased tab in the iTunes Store app on it)
    If you aren't in a country where you can re-download films or if it re-downloads with the same problem then try the 'report a problem' page to contact iTunes Support : http://reportaproblem.apple.com
    If the 'report a problem' link doesn't work then you can try contacting iTunes support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/- click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

  • Low audio volume in DVD SP

    I've been experiencing low audio volume with burned DVDs in DVD SP 4.
    The audio volume is fine in FCP, and also in the self-contained exported QT file.
    But once imported into DVD SP and burned to a DVD, the volume is almost cut in half on multiple projects. The DVD's are short (< 30 minutes) so the audio is left as an AIFF file rather than converting it to an .ac3 with Compressor.
    I don't see any way to control the volume in DVD SP.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks,

    There's no way to control volume in DVDSP.
    I had the same problem, but I had an ac3 file through Compressor. And there was this feature in it called "dialog normalization" that I had to turn off (setting it at -31dB), and my levels were good.
    If you can't solve your problem with AIFF, maybe try ac3, and see if it suits you.
