Sound balence

I've been having a problem with my ipod's sound. The sound is only coming out of one earbud, and i gotta hold it in a certain postion to get it to work. What should i do, and if i need to get it repaired, how much would it cost to get it fixed?

I'm assuming you've tried other headsets. If so, and the problem persists, it's probably a bad headset jack. If the iPod is under warranty, it shouldn't cost you anything. If it's not, it will probably be cheaper to have it repaired by someone else than Apple.

Issues

I have several issues which I wondered if any one could help me with, I bought my iBook G4 about 6 months ago and its working like a dream but theres a few issues I would like to be able to resolve but cant find answers for in the help pages...
1. The power adpater even though it and the battery have been replaced still over heats and cuts out when ever it feels like it.
2. The sound balence in the control panel will balence to the left or right randomly without having changed any thing, even after 2 OS reinstalls.
3. Since having the battery replaced the battery now makes a metal sounding clicking noise when you move the laptop, the battery doesnt really sit in its compartment very well, its kinda sticking out at the edges.
If any one has an ideas I would be most appreciative

Hi unknowndomain,
As Ronda says, resetting the PMU could help.
For the battery problem, make sure that the battery is all the way in and that the lock is locked.
For your sound balance problem you could try Balanced.

At the risk of sounding like CL official and/or brown nose. l

To start I mean no dissrespect to anyone in any way or form, but how the hell is it possiable that anyone can have issues with their Creative cards?
I mean Look at the stickies. Pretty much every know issues is covered and every possible set up option is there for you.
The day I bought my Audigy 2 ZS, about a year or more ago the only issue i had was 5. sound in Movies. After 2 seconds of reading the FAQ it was solved and the card ran perfectly for the entire time i had it. I have sold that card now and the guy I sold it to had zero issues also.
I have got my self an X-FI Platnium. Now before i got the card i spent some time reading the FAQ and researching the card for all possiable issues I may encounter. From the moment i put the card in to the moment the last application was installed to the final re-boot i've had not issue what so ever. the card works flawlessly.
Now, again no dissrespect to those having issues but why blame CL? Why not take the time and look over your system. ENSURE ALL componants are of high quality. You cant use generic RAM on a high end board with no name power surrplies and have fans all over the place, plus running firewalls, Anti virus, other programmes in the background, old bios, old drivers, messy Windows install, crowed desktop, fancy tools running, every possiable USB port acti've, firewire cards, TV cards and the expect everything to run fine.
Take note that PCs are not and have never been designed to run games. Sure the hardware is but the software is not and never will be until Bill Gates is dead and then the dorr is open for a better running OS that allows games to run without all the over heads of Windows not to mention other apps like Firewalls and Antivirus.
Simply put, if you really want to play games and have them run at their best, keep your syste, simple, but still high end enough to run games.
EG. You dont need TV cards, firewire cards, Firewalls, Anti-virus, more than 3 USB devices ( mouse, K/B and Pad ) You dont need anything in startup programmes to run games.
Also, low end hardware = crashes - BSOD and all other kinds of issues. Dont skimp on hardware. You want to play games right? Spemd the cash and get the best RAM, get a top high end board. Dont use cheap leads and for the love of god get a GOOD, nah get the BEST POSSIABLE PSU you cant.
Keep your system clean from dust.
Clean temps files EVERY day.
Defrag and scan disc everyday.
Set ALL antivirus to manual in services.msc and only run it when you want to.
Forget firewalls. Just because your firwall may block a few things dont mean the other million or so bots are not getting in looking for numbers. Ive never used a firewall and see, well whats the point? if a hacker really wants in hwe will get in plus if you dont store credit card numbers and use your credit card online then who cares.
The latest drivers are not always the greatest. Not just for sound but for everything.
Anyway, i could go on for days but ill leave it there and hope that some of you understand my point.
Why blame CL all the time? Your other hardware parts, even a modem, yep a simple PCI modem can cause all kinds of crazy things so look it over.
Is you mainboard a GOOD brand ? Asus - Abit ?
Ram.
HDD.
Cable and leads old?
Dusty?
Power Surrply unit's Just because it says 450 watt dont mean that its good enough. YOU MUST HAVE THE RAILS AT THE REQUIRED VOLT ALL THE TIME. A single drop and thats it, crash.
Too many fans hogging amps?
Too many Driver hogging volts?
FDD, bah, dont need on so remove it.
MAIN BOARD BIOS SET UP right?
Look at your hardware, stripe it down a bit. IF you really need TV cards and firewire and stuff. build cheap PC for that job and keep your Gaming PC clean and free.
I for one highly reconmend Creative sound to anyone i build a PC for simply because they are the best. You just need to spend the time and cash and get your system balenced, keep it tidy and junk free, spend a few days trying out different driver combo's until it hits the sweet spot.
All the best.

Pretty much all I got out of your post was a pro CL fanboy rant. I'm glad your card works for you. Do all XFI owners have problems? No. Do some have problems? Yes.
You said:
"but how the hell is it possible that anyone can have issues with their Creative cards? "
Are you for real? Is it not possible to have problems with Creative cards, no matter how much time you put into trying to get it to work? If you had the scp issue, you would understand. You would try everything possible to get it fixed. In the end, if it still puked out the scp, you would not have posted this topic and ended up disgruntled like many of us. Do you not think CL support try's to walk people through many of the things you posted to try to fix it's Should half the stuff you posted be listed on the box as a warning so Jim Johnny down the block does'nt make a mistake by buying it to put in his year old Dell, HP or whatever?
PS, you did risk it and it is official!

You need to say what you want it for and if you already have onboard sound or not. If you are not gaming then your onboard sound is likely to be moe than adequate for music playback with a good 2. pair of speakers. If you are gaming a good balence between perfomance (low CPU, good effects such as EAX etc and cost would be an audigy 2 card with a reasonable 5. set of speakers. Again the speakers depend upon what quality you need. Typically the more you spend the better they are.....

Lock ups and sound looping!

I remember reading something here about people having trouble with their systems locking up and then getting a loud static noise then a sound loop when playing games.
I am getting this about 2-3 times a night now and it is driving me nuts, I do not have temp problems of any sort and I have all of the latest drivers for everything on my system.
Any ideas?
Specs in sig

Set your PCI/AGP Freq to 66.66/33.33MHz.
Increase your DDR Voltage to 2.7~2.8v.
Check if you have any background programs causing all high CPU load times while gaming.

My downloaded text sounds do not show up under the sounds tab in settings after installing 8.1.1. can someone help me please?

i downloaded a couple text tones and since installing 8.1.1, they will not show up under the sounds tab. in fact, they do not show up in my recent purchases on itunes, but when i go to buy them again, it says that i have already bought this tone. I just want to use the tones i paid for as the tones on my phone. not asking much.... thanks for the help. i hope someone can help me get the tones working. thank you.

This was happening to me too but only for some of my songs. I have a mac so I dunno about PCs, but for most of my ringtones I had to create an ACC version in itunes to make them short enough then turn that into a m4r and those all worked fine. But if the song was already short enough and I didn't create an ACC version and just turned the original into a m4r, then it wouldn't appear in my itunes.
so if you're on a mac:
1. go to get info, options, pick when you want the song to start and end.
     Has to be pretty short to work, 30 second or less is good
     if it's already short enough that's fine
2. right click and click 'create ACC version'
     a copy with the length you put in will appear, drag that into a folder or whatever and just type in m4r where m4a would be
     still make an ACC version even if it's the right length
Hopefully this helps someone else.

When i login to my account and it takes me to the desktop, the error sound plays, then the rainbow wheel appears, and finder immediately stops responding

It started yesterday when i was listening to itunes when all of a sudden the music stopped playing and i had to hold down the power button to shut it down and reboot, and then, when i logged back in, the error sound played, and then finder opened up, but the window was grayed out like i had another app selected, bu i didn't, so i tried to open up itunes and the icon started bouncing and then it stopped midbounce and i had to reboot again because finder wasnt responding. now when i log in, the error sound plays, and finder immediately stops working and then i have to reboot again because i cant click anything and i cant properly relaunch finder. please help

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, or by a peripheral device.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including Wi-Fi on certain iMacs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

Loading sound clips in my swing application

I have searched all the forums, din't find what i want.
I have many small sound files to be played in my application. Even on mouse Pressed, Drage etc etc....
Now I was looking for a better way of Loading the Sound files in memory as the application starts.....
If I use the Clip Interface of javax.sound and initilize them and open a stream, invoke the open() method, and store it in hashmap. So that when ever i need that file i will lookup for that clip and trigger the start() method which actually plays the sound. IS the approach the right approach, will not the Cip object keep the IO handle open, I have nearly 40 Clips to be loaded.
Can any one suggest me the better way of implementing this.
TIA
Zoha

As far as I know,there is no facility for detecting mouse scrolling wheel in JDK 1.3.
Check it in the later releases of JDK.

Help with sound to LCD TV when using HDMI

I would love any assistance with a problem I am having. I have a new mac mini with a 40" Proscan LCD. I am using a mini-DVI to HDMI adapter and am getting great video - 1080. My issue is that via Keynote I need to get sound to the LCD TV. It is coming through the mini speaker - what do I need to do to get the sound over to the TV? Any assistance would be appreciated!

Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
The user guide which came with your TV should cover the issue in the different connections available for your unit.
DVI is video only. HDMI is audio and video. If you are using an adapter to connect DVI to HDMI there is no audio because of this. So to connect a Mac mini with a DVI to HDMI adapter you will also need an audio cable to run the audio from the mini's audio outport to an audio inport on the TV. This is why I refer you to the user guide for your unit, because it should point out the correct port to use on the TV, as well as point out if you have options for using analog or digital audio. The mini's audio ports can do both.

Apple Mini-DVI to DVI Adapter problem: no sound.

I couldn't find a more suited thread to discuss my issue so, this can be moved in deemed necessary. I recently purchased a DVI cable, seen below, but all I can get is the video to work. When I use the appropriate yellow cable for sound, the TV won't pick it up. It really seems like this is something that can't be fixed, but I figure it is worth asking about. Thanks.

The yellow cable is likely not an audio cable, but an S-Video cable, useful for some projectors that don't have a VGA or DVI port, or many TVs which only support S-Video. If you want audio separate from the computer, most speaker systems at least support RCA Red/White left/right channel sound into the 1/8th inch audio port found on most Macs. Some Macs and sound software as outlined here offer additional channels for sound:

I've never seen a yellow colored cable used for audio.

How to connect sound or audio to my tv using hdmi adapter. I tried to connect thru sound settings but my tv is not found.

how to connect sound to my tv set using hdmi adapter. Im using 2009 macbook pro 13". I went to sound settings then output and it shows internal speaker built- in, it wont locate my tv set. pls. help, thanks

You probably can't because it looks like your MacBook Pro is too old to carry audio over HDMI. You will need to run a separate audio cable from the audio out port on the MacBook Pro to the audio in port on the TV.
Check your MacBook Pro model year against the list in this Apple tech note:
About Mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapters
Learn about the Mini DisplayPort in the latest Mac models that enables audio and video output for DisplayPort and HDMI.

What do I need to connect my late 2009 Mac book (mini display port) to the TV and get sound?

I'm totally confused!
I have a late 2009 model Macbook. And I want to connect it to my TV.
So my research has led to believing I need a Mini display port adapter and a HDMI cable - but from some of what I have read, this won't carry sound...
Can anyone clarify this and what I do actually need?

The Mini DisplayPort to HDMI doesn't carry audio unless you have the Mid 2010 model 7,1 and there're no audio plugs on most TVs to work with HDMI since it's expecting audio with theHDMI.
If you have the Late 2009 model 6,1 White Unibody with the MiniDisplay Port there is an adapter that can combine video and audio to HDMI.

First we need to know which one of the 9 different models of MacBook you have. To see which model you have go to the Apple in the upper left corner and select About This Mac, then click on More Info (and then System Report if you’re running 10.7 Lion). When System Profiler comes up check the Model Identifier and post it back here.
The Late 2008 model 5,1 Aluminum Unibody and the Late 2009 model 6,1 and Mid 2010 model 7,1 White Unibody have a Mini DisplayPort. The Early 2006 model 1,1 through Early 2008 model 4,1s plus the Early and Mid 2009 model 5,2s have Mini-DVI ports. Each would take a different adapter to connect with the TV.
