Sound almost inadible even if set at max when seeing video on plane or train

Sound almost inaudible when looking at video in plane or train, even when set at max?

No adverse side affects that I have ever read about. A simplified explanation of how it works is here: http://electronics.howstuffworks.com/gadgets/audio-music/noise-canceling-headpho ne.htm
The headphones pick up the external sound and create a negative of it's wave pattern, essentially cancelling it out, or coming close anyway. Some noise cancelling headphones create a hiss or buzz in quiet conditions which is why you can turn off the noise cancelling feature.
In my experience, this is one good example of getting what you pay for. Ceap models really don't work very well.

    Have you tried pushing the volume buttons near the top of the keyboard to adjust volume?
    Also check your device manager to make sure there are no issues with your sound driver.

  • Win 8.1 update - sound popping / glitch in MetroTube and all APPS when scrubbing video

    My phone Nokia 1020 was working fine. I then downloaded the over the air update for Win 8.1 and Cyan on Thursday 7th August from O2.
    Since then I have experienced a loud popping / static noise when playing video in all apps (except StoryTeller)
    Using built-in speaker:
    When I play video in any App with a video scrubber and I scrub the time-line and realise the scrubber it makes a loud click or static pop.
    It happens in everything including:
    Mytube
    Metrotube
    Tubepro
    Photos App (i.e Microsoft one - playing a recorded video in they all now have a loud click / static pop)
    Xbox Video App (i.e Microsoft's own App)
    Using Headphones:
    There is no load click (It plays how it used to)
    The odd bit is using the speaker and playing music tracks (mp3s etc) and scrubbing there is no static popping click it plays fine.
    Video In Web Browser Fine:
    Playing YouTube Videos in the web brower there is no popping / static click noise.
    I have just downloaded 'xVideo' App and played a HD Music video in it and used scrubber and there is NO loud click.
    Sound Glitches in Audio Clips at end of recordings in all these Apps:
    Babbel - Learn Spanish
    Coolang - Learn Spanish
    Zeemish - Learn Spanish for Beginners
    its really annoying and makes trying to listen and remember pronunciation of words difficult and frustrating. Phone was ok before Microsoft Windows 8.1 update now have this issue and issue with static build-up causing popping when fast forwarding through
    videos. :( I am feed up
    Conclusion:
    This is software bug? please can anyone help/advise me on how to fix this and if anyone else is having same glitch with 8.1 update :(
    All I can think of to fix is to somehow downgrade to Windows 8 if that's possible? :( *update its not possible using Nokia Recovery as it puts back Win 8.1.
    It is a Software bug introduced in Windows Phone 8.1 update. It effects everything! including
    Microsofts own Video Xbox App and
    Photo App. See other people frustrations on this issue, its been going on since April!!!! please can you fix this is ruining my Windows Phone experience:

    If is not fixed soon i.e next few months I will never buy a Windows phone again and will recommend the same to friends and family.  I had so much hope and expectation for 8.1 update :( love the Notification bar and battery icon but I can't live with
    all this. :(

    Hello,
    You should ask in the
    Windows Phone forums on the Microsoft Community forums.
    As the Microsoft Community is on a different platform, we cannot move the question for you.

    [hp dv6358se] Internal speaker plays sound intermittent(every 15s). CPU use = Max when audio driver enabled. CPU use = normal ranges when audio driver is disabled. Head phone jack only plays out of one speaker. Lastly when head phones are pluged cpu usage returns to normal. Is there a possible software fix for this issue?

    snarfer,
    You can normally mute the microphone in the Surround Mixer (that's provided in the software). As long as you leave it as the recording source it should still work in your voice software, but won't sound over the speakers.
    Was the card always in the last PCI slot or did you move it there? If it always was there, try the slot just above it in case that particular slot shares resources with certain motherboard functions/components.
    Do you still have sound problems when the microphone is muted, or taken away completely?

  • When a video is taken in Photo Booth, the sound does not match up

    When trying to take a video on photobooth, the sound does not match up with the image when the video is played back. What can I do to fix this?

    Check your footage interpretation, split the audio in an external program, convert the sample rate and import it separately or whatever. Most likely you simply have used unsuitable recording settings with odd sample and data rates.

  • After upgraded iOS5 on my ipad2, sound notification gone dead even with setting sound on

    After upgrading my ipad2 to ios5, sounds notification doesn't work, even though setting sound is on

    Have you got notifications muted ? Only notifications (including games) get muted, so the iPod and Videos apps, and headphones, still get sound.
    Depending on what you've got Settings > General > Use Side Switch To set to (mute or rotation lock), then you can mute notifications by the switch on the right hand side of the iPad, or via the taskbar : double-click the home button; slide from the left; and it's the icon far left; press home again to exit the taskbar. The function that isn't on the side switch is set via the taskbar instead : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4085

  • IMessage sound plays default even though it is set for other tone

    i have text tone set for a downloaded sound, which plays when set in settings, when the text actually can't es in it plays the default noise. Same issue with specific contact noises.

    Hello Rob,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities. You may have a contact that has a different ringtone assigned to it. Just navigate to the contact and see what ringtone is assigned to them.

    Setting Ringtones
    In addition to the default ringtone, you can assign individual ringtones to people in your contacts so that you can tell when a particular person calls.
    Alternatively you can reset all settings in Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings. This would put your iPhone at factory default on everything settings wise and it does not touch the data on the phone

  • Treo keeps checking mail even though set to manual update

    I have my email update set to manual.  But my 800W keeps checking for email.  It's running my battery down.  Short of deleting the email account and starting over, what am I doing wrong?
    Background: When I first got the phone, I stupidly set it to check mail every few minutes until I realized that ran my battery down in about 5 hours.  I set it to 'once per day' and it worked fine.  Then a couple of weeks ago, I temporarily set it to 5 minutes or something like that for a specific situation.  I then tried to change it back to once per day and/or manual.  The value shows 'once per day' on the options page.  But it ignores it now.  Not sure how often it checks.  But i get email notifications almost instantly every time an email arrives.  And my battery is dying again.  I've tried changing it around several times, rebooting, etc. 
    Anybody ever seen this?  Am I missing something obvious?
    Thx
    Post relates to: Treo 800w (Sprint)

    Thanks for the response.  I had long since tried everything you suggested.
    I did quite a bit more testing and googling, and  I think I've resolved it.  But there are definitely some serious problems (My feeling is that these are code defects) in the 800w that caused this.
    1) I created a new email account on my 800w, taking all of the default values
    2) I set the email scheduler refresh rate on the account settings page to 1 day.  But I found later that it made no difference what I set it to.  Same results
    3) I have my own hosting business and host my own email pop server.  So I have easy access to the POP logs.  Here is a snippit from the pop logs with "refresh rate = 1 day":
    12/12/08 21:07:31 INFO  pop3server: Connection for treo.************************.com from 174-149-227-149.pools.spcsdns.net
    12/12/08 21:08:40 INFO  pop3server: Connection for treo.************************.com from 174-149-227-149.pools.spcsdns.net
    12/12/08 21:09:52 INFO  pop3server: Connection for treo.************************.com from 174-149-227-149.pools.spcsdns.net
    12/12/08 21:11:04 INFO  pop3server: Connection for treo.************************.com from 174-149-227-149.pools.spcsdns.net
    12/12/08 21:12:16 INFO  pop3server: Connection for treo.************************.com from 174-149-227-149.pools.spcsdns.net
    12/12/08 21:13:28 INFO  pop3server: Connection for treo.************************.com from 174-149-227-149.pools.spcsdns.net
    12/12/08 21:14:40 INFO  pop3server: Connection for treo.************************.com from 174-149-227-149.pools.spcsdns.net
    12/12/08 21:15:53 INFO  pop3server: Connection for treo.************************.com from 174-149-227-149.pools.spcsdns.net
    4) Note the time between each line.  It's basically exactly 1 minute + 10-13 seconds.  The 10-13 seconds is the processing of the POP call.  When the POP call ends, it waits precisely one minute and checks again.  I want to point out that there isn't even an OPTION on the refresh menu on the 800w to refresh once a minute. But it is indisputable from the log on my mail server that this is indeed what is happening.  (I set up that pop mailbox specifically for my treo, and no other client mail app is accessing it.)
    5) I changed all the values on the refresh time menu, and even turned off 'Send/receive when I send" option.  I wasn't sending anyway.  But I was just grasping at straws.
    6) I then discovered that there are TWO places to set the refresh rate (???? that's a good design????).  If you open the inbox and select Delivery Preferences from the menu, there is ANOTHER checkbox to "Connect and check for messages every...." with an entry field to enter the number of minutes.
    7) Ok.. this is the defect in the code:  That checkbox was OFF, and the entry field was gray.  That obvious has to mean that I don't want to autocheck anything.  (and that is the default way it comes up on a new account, which makes sense).   But it appears the checkbox is being IGNORED in the code.  It was indeed checking.  And I suspect the empty grayed 'minutes' field was probably returning 0 or something like that to the code.  So ignoring the checkbox and having a zero minutes refresh rate, it was probably defaulting to a minimum of 1 minute.  But it should NOT be refreshing at all with that checkbox off.
    8) I turned the checkbox ON and set the value to 15 minutes:
    12/12/08 22:18:34 INFO  pop3server: Connection for treo.*******************.com
    12/12/08 22:34:09 INFO  pop3server: Connection for treo.*******************.com
    12/12/08 22:49:46 INFO  pop3server: Connection for treo.*******************.com
    9) Note that as soon as I checked the checkbox and set the refresh to 15 minutes, that is indeed precisely what I have in my POP log.  Oh, yeah... by the way... the much more obvious "Automatic Send/Receive" setting on the account menu is still set to 1 day... (why is that page and option even there???)
    10) So in summary, you have one scheduler where the user can set a value that is completely ignored.  And you have a buried checkbox that defaults to off and the code apparently doesn't check it and assumes it's always on. 
    I don't need any additional help.  It's working now.  But I think someone in development needs to take a serious look at how this is working based on my scenario and analysis above.
    Thanks.

    Michael,
    Thanks. I haven't mixed down the audio or checked the number of tracks in Prefs. Good points.
    As far as a mixdown goes, I'll definitely give it a try, though I wonder whether or not the tracks will be recognized during mix down recording - given that you can't hear either of those segments in playback. Just have to try.
    Re the preferred number of allowed tracks - I'll go check as soon as I send this off, but I'm not sure that applies in this case, since the two Channels containing the segments that are pinked out are not in additional tracks. I should have mentioned that other audio clips and segments on the same Channels in the SAME tracks ARE heard in playback. As are two additional track in the 2nd Sequence. It's only when the two sequences are joined that the pink tinted segments can't be heard. Within the sequence the same audio cuts playback as they should. Thanks again &
    Best regards,
    David

    Hi Alxx911, and John Hammer1. After reading John's reply - " You can plug something into it's headphone jack. though" . I thought i'd try out of curiosity. I plugged in some headphones. I didn't expect anything to happen  and nothing happened. The audio jack is for the Dell soundbar which is optional.
    Here's a direct copy and paste from the users manual: Section About Your Monitor.
    Attaching the Soundbar AX510 / AX510PA (Optional) CAUTION: Do not use with any device other than the Dell Soundbar. NOTE: The Soundbar power connector (+12 V DC output) is for the optional Dell Soundbar AX510/AX510PAonly. To attach the Soundbar: 1. Working from the back of the monitor, attach the Soundbar by aligning the two slots with the two tabs along the bottom of the monitor. 2. Slide the Soundbar to the left until it snaps into place. 3.  Connectthe Soundbar with the DC power connector. 4. Insert the mini stereo plug from the back of the Soundbar into the computerís audio output jack. For HDMI/DP, you can insert the mini stereo plug into the monitorís audio output port.  If there is no sound, check your PC if the Audio output is configured to HDMI/DP output.
    This monitor has no speakers. (Like John Hammer1 mentioned). The no speakers feature was one of the reasons I chose this monitor.
    Good Luck !

    FYI this is the legitimate Flash Player installer:
    This one is bogus:
    As X423424X wrote do not download it from any site other than the one he linked.
    Adobe does not require a password to download the Flash installer. Generally speaking passwords are not required to download software, unless you must register with the website so as to log in. In that case you should never use the same name and password you use to administer your Mac.
