Serious Volume Issues : HELP!

Good Morning,
We have had Fios for about 8 month and since we signed up have been having serious volume issues. When we turn on the tv and the fios (HD Box w/DVR) the volume will turn on and it will be in a mono tone with no bass just very bad sounding, other times we turn it on and there is no sound. To get "normal sound" we typically have to turn on and off tv a couple times to get to work. If we turn on tv and have "funny sound" we can flip to DVR and watch tv with perfectly fine sound. We can also turn on DVD player and watch tv with perfectly fine sound. This makes me think it's fios or the box?? We have had a refresh to our box and we just recieved a new box and it is still happpening!! My husband has switched the HDMI cables to the alternate port on our tv (I think that is what he said??) and nothing helps. Our tv is a Samsung LCD and it is maybe 2 1/2 years old at the most. We have never had any issues with this with Directv and can't figure it out. Does anyone have any advice?
Our second issue is on our other tv when we turn on the fios box and attempt to watch tv, Spanish music comes through the subwoofer of our sound sound. Again never an issue until Fios. My husband bought a RF (????) filter and no such luck. Any suggestions?
Thanks as we can not watch tv in our home without it being a huge pain in the butt!

seeing as how the issue is the same with 2 different HD-DVR's I would assume it is one of the many HDMI issues that occur with the motorolla boxes... try another means of cabling for audio... such as composite (red/white) or digital audio cable
as far as the other box is concerned, with the spanish audio..... that box/TV probably has the SAP turned on.... on the box, go to Menu > Settings > Language > Audio Language.... and switch to English preffered... if it is your TV, consult the owners manual for specific instructions on how to change the setting on the TV.

MSI GT780DX Serious keyboard issue - Help Needed

Hello everyone,
I have an MSI GT780DX and a few months ago it started to fail the x key when I pressed it...
After sometime it started failing the W key...
Then it was the arrow down key...
So I bought another keyboard and I managed to install it in place, the led lights worked just fine but I'm with a terrible issue now.
The keys are all wrong, for example the space bar = backspace when I press it, the a = ; the j=l and so on... all the keys are mixed up...
Does anyone have any idea what might be causing this and how to fix it?
My notebook is the msi gt780dx with Win 7 (its the original Win7 that came with the notebook)... The new keyboard has the same part number but its symbol for the windows key is different (it's the Win 8 logo)
Please any help would be gladly appreciated.
Best Regards.

Hi I tried resetting the EC and no change...
Then I try installing Win 8 but at the serial number screen the keys are already messed up...
Tried with ubuntu also and the same.
I'm assuming its not an OS related problem...
And yes, warranty was already off when I switched the keyboards.
Any other ideas?
Does anyone also know where can I find a Win7 keyboard for this notebook?
I'm running out of options...

Serious Mail Issue - Help

Hi,
I can't use Mail anymore.
After clicking the icon I get the message 'Mail quit unexpectedly'.
Within a huge information report I see also:
Exception Type: EXCBADACCESS (SIGBUS)
Exception Codes: KERNPROTECTIONFAILURE at 0x00000001016f6f98
Crashed Thread: 4 Dispatch queue: com.apple.root.default-priority
I should also say that I'm fighting with MobileMe on our new IPad...
But is was working fine so far until this afternoon.
I hope someone can help !
Thanks.
Fraenzchen

OK, I run disk repair utility before I opened this thread.
Now I created a new user account and started mail, successfully !
I logged off and re-logged on with my regular account and started mail, successfully !
This is strange...
I still suspect MobileMe !!! Because meanwhile I also cut the link to MobileMe. Maybe that was the reason why mail worked fine again.
But I already connected MobileMe again, and Mail still works fine so far.
Again, this is strange...
I think I need MobileMe support. I'll try to join a chat tomorrow.
Thanks again.

Need help with simple volume issue

I recently bought an Ipod Touch 3G 64Gig model, I was impressed with the mp3 player and loved it.
I have a small issue with it though, I am unable to find any app or help in fixing the volume issue I face. Basically I suffer from hearing impairment in which I can hear 40% in left ear, and 75% in my right ear, this usually leads to me hearing significant portion of audio on my right ear. I was able to fix this by changing sound balance in my previous mp3 player, I was surprised the new Ipod touch never had it when it is the norm for all mp3 players to have a decent audio balance settings
Are there any solutions at all or am I stuck with not being able to change a basic setting?
Any help would be appreciated

Wracken:
You will not be able to change the Balance Control (L/R Audio) from your iPod Touch. You will not be able to adjust your Audio files from the iTunes interface either. I am not sure if there are any apps that are available out there to address this issue.
There is one thing that comes to mind that will solve this for you is the [*_Sennheiser HZR-62 Stero Volume Control Device_*|http://www.amazon.com/Sennheiser-HZR-62-Stereo-Volume-Control/dp/B000H 0K8VY]. This device controls audio on individual audio channels (Left/Right). Cost a little over $25.00 from Amazon. You might want to give it a try.

I actually just had a call with an apple IT person - he had me go to "settings" on my touch, and reset, then "reset all settings".
my volume bar came back and it is now working with all my speakers, in the car, headphones, etc.
hope this helps.

Serious resolution issues with After Effects CC (2014) on Windows 8.1 Pro on Dell Precision M3800 laptop??

My new company installed Adobe Creative Cloud (There was some annoying Proxy issues at first, because of the seriously tight I.T policies) but we are having some serious resolution issues with After Effects CC 2014 (also have this resolution problem with Adobe Premiere, Media Encoder, Muse) on Windows 8.1 Pro on a Dell Precision M3800 laptop with icons and interface looking too small and hard to see, is there a fix, an update or a work around, can anyone help?
Any help will be appreciated!
k.regards
Ramon

Hi Todd is there a time-frame for this fix, there is a lot of pressure on me, because I convinced my company to get the Creative Cloud and quite a lot of the CC software is not compatible with the latest Windows 8.1 OS.
Is there at least a work around, until this big fix comes along?
k.regards

Garageband/logic volume issue

ok so.... i basically finished the pre-production of my album and everything sounds absolutely fantastic.... through garageband and logic that is. when i export the song to itunes or my desktop, everything is very distorted. i understand that this is a volume issue. when i have "auto-normalize" on, everything sounds just the way it should but very quite. so, in an effort to make it louder, i turn off this option. the volume level returns to normal but everything is distorted. how can i fix this? can i have some examples of EQing, compression, and filtering? i am recording through a Lexicon lambda into my iMac 24 inch.

none of the tracks clip at all throughout the songs. ive messed around with all EQ settings and compression but it still sounds distorted when i export it. all im trying to do is export the song and the same quality it was at in garageband... if i out the song through logic or protools, will it help my problem?

Volume Issues - Too Loud & Too Soft

This is a problem I've had for awhile now. It's getting unbearably frustrating. Volume issues, where the default value for sound ranges outside what the iPhone should be capable of doing. So for example if the volume goes from 0% to 100%, my phone will be completely random and range from -50% to 150%.
How can it be less then 0% you might ask, when moving the slider mid way the volume is completely off and any lower doesn't make a difference, then I'll receive an email notification and BAM the volume goes up 300% and it's so loud it feels like the speaker is going to explode. This problem happens at any time but mostly after or while using headphones or car bluetooth.
Example of my issue in action, I'll plug AUX in the car into the phone, play music, driving along, randomly goes to half volume. I'll turn up the stereo to compensate, one minute later I'll get an email and the volume resumes to normal operating volume and I almost sh** my pants in fright.
Another example is I'll be watching a video late at night before bed on youtube or something with the volume all the way down, then the next morning my phone alarm will not sound or it will but insanely softly. The work around for this is to play music right before locking my phone with the volume up all the way. Just move the volume up all the way, play > pause and there you have it, volume working agian.
And one last example, randomly it goes really really loud. Like how is this possible loud. I'll dial a number and when pressing the buttons instead of a beep beep beep. I get fog horn BEEEEEEP BEEEEP BEEEEP. But as soon as the call starts the volume sets itself back to normal. Kind of like how when playing music without head phones with volume on max sets it back to normal.
Things you should note:
Ringer volume has been locked to maximum, but quite often won't abide by this rule.
I've reset the phone and setup as new iPhone, problem still occurs.
Please don't give a solution like, "Have you checked your sound volume in settings". I'm not stupid.
Also, please don't give a solution unless you understand the difference between "Notification and Tone Volume" and "Media Volume".
Other then that. Please help, this is driving me mental.

I recently did the last firmware upgrade for my ipod nano 5th gen and can't set the maximim limit.
It can be set, but wont stick and I can still go above the limit.
Did something break with the firmware upgrade.

Ipod & Itunes Volume Issue

Hi,
I am having a problem with my iPod volume. It was not loud enough when the volume was turned up even halfway (barely audible). Only when I crank the volume to the max is it loud, but when I turn it down, to even three quarters it is not loud enough.
So, I ended up updating to the latest version with the ipod updater, and added some more tracks to my ipod from iTunes. Now, iTunes is doing the same thing when I listen to the tracks on my computer! Even when I play a cd through iTunes, it is not very loud, but when I play the same cd through Windows Media Player, the volume is correct, and the sound is great.
So, I think the volume issue on the iPod is now transferred to iTunes.
How do I fix this?
I have a brand new computer, and havent had any problems with this before. I have the 60GB iPod Photo.
thanks!
dell inspiron 9300 Windows XP
Windows XP Windows XP
Windows XP Windows XP

No, I checked that. Its weird, in that the volume was too low on the iPod and it was fine on my computer, but when I updated my iPod it transferred to iTunes and now it is acting the same way.
I dont know what else to try! help!

You can try a PRAM reset:

However since this is a new MBP, you really should sort this out with the Apple genius bar technicians. You get a warranty with the MBP, so I recommend that you use it.

For All Serious Burning Issues!!

If you are having serious burning issues and error messages, and after you have freed up atleast 5 gb of HD space on your STARTUP drive (Startup is the drive that your OS is running on) then go to:
http://superdrive.cynikal.net/
and download the appropriate Superdrive firmware for your computer. i have used this site several times. Make sure you follow the directions. This is a major change to the software that runs inside of your superdrive, but it usually does the trick for me when I have issues. If you have previously updated your firmware, and are now having issues, go back to the original firmware and see if that works, (it usually does for me). I have updated several times, and never had any issues. My superdrive is atleast 2 and a half years old with heavy use.
Not sure if Apple approves of doing this, but they don't seem to ever be very helpful with error messages, so this is the best solution for me.

Not really. You only need enough space to cover the amount of data being burned to the disc, which in most cases is 4.7 gb. You will need more if you are burning larger dvd's and/or dual layer. For years, I have only kept roughly 5 gb available on my system and haven't had any problems.

2G iPhone Volume Issue

When I make a call or receive a call I can't hear very well when holding the phone ot my ear. I've pressed the volume toggle on the left side and it shows the volume going up but it doens't get any louder. Help I just got the phone 12/24 and I really can't use it to talk on!

this post saved my sanity. I, too, tried to keep the plastic on the phone to protect it, not realizing it was causing the volume issue. Thank you for the info! (My mom and co-workers are still laughing at me!)

Speakphone volume issues

I don't know if its just me but it seems my speakerphone volume is very low at its max volume. Yes, I can hear the caller but comparing to the volume of my nextel phone, its like half as loud. I'm a HUGE speakerphone guy, and when i'm in the car or somewhere around a little noise, it becomes very hard to listen to the caller. Of course at home in a quite eviorment, its very easy.
I went to the apple store and had the phone replaced, upon taking it home an activating it, I have the same issue, i'm now thinking this is the way the phones were made. How the **** did this phone get pass QA or the beta test group is beyond me.

It seems as though several people have volume issues...along with myself. Many people seem to agree it is a problem with only the 8 gig phones...which I had. I tried all of the fixes that were posted, took it to the Genius Bar and they replaced it...still had problems with both the ear volume and speakerphone, a very miniscule amount of improvement with the new replacement. Then talked to tech support, did the reset procedure and restore with iTunes...no help. I took it back this evening for a refund and they waived the restock fee. This was a very sad and difficult decision for me! As soon as I got back from the Apple store, I started looking for more new fixes or some sort of solid info on an update that might fix it. Even the Genius bar told me tonight, to wait for 2.0! I do have to say, I am probably one of the very few that only bought this phone for the phone feature and the way it looked! I truly could care less about the other 'lacking' or 'inadequate' features others are having issues with or complaining about. I am one that has never sent a text message, email, had a to do list, calendar, etc. on her cell phone. I have only used my phone to make/receive calls and play Tetris! I have not even had a new cell phone in years, so this was a splurge and a wonderful, fun and exciting new gadget! The ONLY complaint I had was the volume. That was the deal breaker for me. I cannot wear headphones, as the Genius bar suggested or use a blue tooth. I use the speaker phone 80 percent of the time. I always am in a noisy environment and have never had volume issues with my Nextel phone...(just dropped calls! Ha) This was, needless to say, a big disappointment that of all things that could have been a problem, it had to be the volume...the one that is most important to me. FYI, when I went to the Genius bar, I asked if anyone else was coming in with this problem and they said only one...however, the day I was in there, four people were waiting to discuss their volume issues with the phone! I don't know and I don't think Apple even knows if this is even a situation that could be resolved with a software update. Best of luck with your situation and all the rest who have that issue. I'm going to wait it out for hopefully a solution that will be found soon! I can imagine going past the 14 day refund period and finding out the volume problem cannot be solved!

Thank you Zyriab. My volume issue is solved!

Thank you Zyriab. My volume issue is solved!

This is a physical problem with the buttons?
Did you try doing a Reset (restart) of the iPod
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1320
and if that does not help, a Restore on the iPod using iTunes. The Restore button is on the iPod's Summary screen in iTunes. This will erase the iPod, reinstall its software, and set it to default settings.
If that does not help, because there is something physically wrong with the iPod's hardware, you may be able to control volume if you get a set of headphones that has compatible remote control buttons on the cord. For example, Apple's Earpods headphones should work with a 6th gen iPod. However, it may not help if the button on the iPod is actually "stuck" and always giving the Volume Up command.
