Sound distorted and no control when using akg k451's with 'in line remote' cable

Just bought a pair of AKG k451 headphones from Amazon.
The headphones come with 2 different cables, a standard cable, and one with an 'in line remote' for use with Apple products.
The sound is fine with the standard cable, but if I use the 'in line' cable, the sound is distorted and there is no control of volume or play/pause function.
I'm sure I have a problem with my iPhone 4S, as it works fine with both my wifes 4s and my ipad 2.
It almost as if my phone does not like anything with a 'in line' remote.
I'm running latest iOS etc and my phone is over 2 years old.
Is this something that can be fixed, or will I need a new phone?
Any suggestions would be grateful.

shortytenshi,
Caveat--I haven't tried this kind of hookup, and you didn't mention what Soundcard or game console you are using. But let me see if I understand correctly. You have two female RCA audio connectors on your game console. I'm guessing you ran two male-male RCA cables from the console to the two female RCA jacks on the Y splitter. And then you put the stereo plug of the Y-splitter into the Line-In of your SoundBlaster card (what card do you have?) You said you tested the cables, but you mentioned the female jacks, so I assume you mean that you tested the Y-Splitter. Have you verified that the male-male cables are intact and that your game console is puting out stereo on them? And do you have your speakers set to 2.0 and Line-In selected as your REC source and unmuted as your Playback source? Some cards also have a left-right speaker balance. It also would help if you could try recording from some other stereo source both using the same and different cables to test whether the card Line-in jack or cables are at fault.

    Fabrizziov,
    Is the sound muffled and distorted when you plug headphones into the headphone out on the platinum dri've? If not, plug the headphones into the sound card's front output and run a speaker test to see if it is muffled and distorted from there. If it is then it is most likely a problem with the card's hardware. If this is the case I would suggest exchanging it for another through your retailer. You can also contact support for a repair if needed. Their contact information is at http://us.creative.com/support/custsup.

  • [iPad Mini no Retina, iOS 7.0.4] Sound in only one side of earphone (no mic), but sound come from both sides when using FaceTime

    Recently, I found with iPad Mini w/o Retina, iOS 7.0.4, the sound comes only from left side of my earphone when listening music, watching YouTube videos, even playing system sound. But the sound come from both sides when using FaceTime.
    Earphone is not broken. Plug completely into the audio jack. This problem only shows up recently, worked fine weeks ago.
    Anyone has the same problem? Or has some solution on this issue?

  • Prompting for password and username only when using dynamic parameters

    Post Author: Co3023
    CA Forum: Crystal Reports
    How do I stop CR XI prompting for password and username only when using dynamic parameters. When no dynamic parameters are used CR XI isn't prompting for the DB user name and password. The report is run from an application which passes the user name and password. I am using Oracle and the problem is both with the native oracle driver and the ODBC RDO driver.

    I didnt ask you to change it to static I said I took the parameters totally out of the report. Saved it. Then re-enter the dynamic parameters into the report and it worked for me. That might have worked for you, not sure why you changed it to static.
    Ok I have just created a quick report using dynamic parameters, it didnt ask me for the username password.
    Can you create a sample report - just to test the db? and see if it works? add only 1 or 2 fields in the report, create parameters (dynamic) and see if it works
    why don't you embed the username and password in your application, it won't ask for username password then.

  • Select an area of sound track and delete it without using the razor?

    Is there a way to select an area of sound track and delete it without using the razor please?
    Like drag and then cmd-delete or clear or something would seem intuitive?
    Thanks Steve z denver

    Set In and Out Points to define the region, then use the Lift command (Sequence>Lift). Note that the Lift command functions based on track targetting, so if the Video track is also targetted, the content will be removed there, too.

  • Does DPM 2012 R2 still needs DataSourceGroups.xml and MaxAllowedParallelBackups key when using Hyper-V VSS Software Writer to backup Server 2012 R2 Cluster

    Hi,
    Does DPM 2012 R2 still needs DataSourceGroups.xml and MaxAllowedParallelBackups key when using Hyper-V VSS Software Writer to backup Server 2012 R2 Hyper-V Cluster with CSV's? Can't find a clear answer somewhere.
    Thanx for helping me out.
    DJITS.

    Configure CSV backups
    If you are running Hyper-V on Windows Server 2008 R2 and you’re backing up multiple clusters with DPM, you need to ensure that only one backup uses the same CSV at any one time. To do this, follow the instructions in
    Serialize virtual machine backups.
    If you’re using software VSS with Hyper-V on Windows Server 2008 R2, do the following
    Serialize virtual machine backups per node            
    Serialize virtual machine backups per CSV LUN            
    Have a nice day !!!

  • When using printer Epson R1900 with Aperture 3 and if I mistakenly choose the wrong paper such as, epson's luster instead of glossy, does that change the exposure? Like make it too dark one or two stops!

    When using printer Epson R1900 with Aperture 3 and if I mistakenly choose the wrong paper such as, epson's luster instead of glossy, does that change the exposure? Like make it too dark one or two stops!

    Hi,
       If you choose the incorrect settings for printing, yes - the print quality will be affected.
    Different papers absorb the ink differently, so you can end up with prints that are too light, too dark, or have a colour cast if you make incorrect choices in your Aperture or printer settings.

  • LabView (8.2) hangs when using I/O operations with traditiona​l NI-DAQ 7.4.4 after aborting LabView program

    Hello!
    We have the following problem:
    LabView (8.2) hangs when using I/O operations with traditional NI-DAQ 7.4.4 after aborting LabView program
    We freshly installed LabView 8.2 (2006) and NI-DAQ 7.4.4 on a PC running Windows XP (Service Pack 3). We built a larger vi that remotely controls a traditional NI-DAQ card (AT-AO-10) on a second PC via NI-VISA 5.0.3. We were successfully running this program until a power failure caused the first computer to crash. After this crash we were unable to start the program again: LabView freezes while loading the vi. LabView itself can be started but freezes when adding I/O operations from the NI-DAQ palette to a block diagram.
    We have tried to re-install NI-DAQ 7.4.4, but it did not help. We then re-installed all NI software, but still no improvement. In the end we decided to reinstall ALL software, first Windows XP, then LabView and finally NI-DAQ 7.4.4. This worked. However, after a few days of running the program we had to abort LabView via Windows Task manager and afterward we again experienced the same problem as before: LabView freezes when loading the program.
    Obviously, we cannot afford to reinstall Windows every time. Are there any known Windows XP / NI-DAQ issues that might cause the freezing of LabView? We would be very grateful for any idea.
    Best regards,
    Matthias

  • Firefox won't open following update. Can't open Profile Mgr, even when using entire directory path in cmd line

    I'm running Firefox on a Windows 7 machine. Firefox won't open following the latest update. I've read the help articles and it seems like I need to create a new profile because my settings have likely been corrupted. I'm unable to open Profile Mgr, even when using entire directory path in cmd line. I've tried the following commands in the command line:
    firefox -p
    "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" -p
    Nothing happens with either command.
    I'm also running Norton Internet Security. I read a help article Re Virtual Browsing features possibly causing a problem. The article said to check the virtualization setting in the internet security software and to clear the virtual cache. I went thru all of the settings menus in Norton Internet Security version 21.6.0.32 and I didn't see anything that looked like 'virtualization" settings, so I assumed that this doesn't apply to me.
    If you have any ideas, I'd sure appreaciate your expertise!!

    hello arcandl, when firefox isn't launching after you double-click on the shortcut this is sometimes also a sign of malware being active on a system.
    you might want to try running a scan with some different other security tools like the [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free free version of malwarebytes] and [http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/adwcleaner/ adwcleaner] which are specialised in removing adware and browser hijackers.
