Sound distortion since OS upgrade?

Am I imagining it, or has anyone else noticed a deterioration in sound quality during phone calls since the latest OS upgrade?
I have a BB 9300 3G and the OS is 6.0 bundle 2949.
The sound is fine on speaker and on headset, just a slight distortion on the handset which I am convinced started after the latest upgrade last week.

Thanks for the suggestions - I had done them all except dropping back on QuickTimes - I was already at 16 bit and have backed it off to 8 bit. At least this morning Eric Clapton is stuttering c-c-c-c-cocaine. It does seem better.
I am still having the problem with large applications impacting iTunes - but knowing this is a bug and not a problem I am having with my PC, I have stopped hyperventilating.
Stay tuned (no pun intended)

My ipad sound is very distorted since I upgraded to ios 7.03

My sound has become terribly distorted since I wirelessly upgraded my ipad (the "new" ipad) to ios 7.03 this afternoon.. My sound is very important to me, because of a visual disablity. I use my ipad mainly for podcasts and audiobooks. Other than that, I use the narrator feature most of the time. I am really hindered by the voices being too distorted to listen to. Please advise. thanks.

Thankyou, Thankyou, Thankyou! it worked perfectly!

They are HD cables that support upto 1080p
GEEZ, I can't be the only person having this issue. I will try 1 call to them to see what they say. Thanks for your input.

Sound distortion since flash player update

since the update a few months ago the flash on our site distorts sound quite badly. They are small sound files taken from the database. There were no problems before the update and it seems many people have had and still have a problem so I think the problem is with the player but Im wondering if there is anything that can be done in the flash to get around this?

I had the same problem(I couldn´t see myself neither the other person, but the other person could see me).
I have solved it doing this:
Log into your Gmail account > Settings > Labs. Enable Video Chat Enhancement lab. Save change. Restart Gmail. Test video.
And now I can see myself and the other person.

Audio sound distorted since 10.6.3 and Pro Apps 2010-01 - bug iTuneshelper

As of OS X 10.6.3 and Pro Apps Update 2010-01 (FPC 7.0.2) I was encountering in both video sound and music sound tracks odd and somewhat unpredictable audio distortion (wrong pitch and left and right stereo sound running out of sync).
This problem seemed to pop up around the end of March 2010.
I have determined that it is related to iTunes 9.0 which has placed in my startup items iTunesHelper which is a startup item, just after AdobeResourcesSynchronizer, iChat and Stickies. I am not certain if it is the order of the startup that introduces the problem or the version of iTunes (which currently is now 9.1).
If you have this item in your startup, just delete it and perhaps your audio problems will go away.

Had the same exact problem. Just got off the phone with Apple Support. The tech asked me to create a test administrator account under Accounts in Systems Preferences. Then log out of account you are currently using and log in to the test account. If you are like me then you will find Adobe Reader and Adobe Acrobat under Applications. Open Adobe Reader and choose to update it. I actually did not have to choose anything as the program began to update both itself and Acrobat Pro automatically. It will take about 10 minutes, depending on speed of internet and computer speed. Once completed, then logout and log back into your normal administrator account. Both programs should now be updated and you can use them. Delete the test administrator account you created. And, good luck on that school work.

Strange sound distortion since update (but only some files and Bluetooth)

Hello Community!
My Xperia Z1 compact got updated to Lollipop (14.5.A.0.242) this morning. Moreover, the Walkman got updated to 8.5.A.3.3. From then onwards, some music files are distorted when played with Walkman, but only when played via Bluetooth.
This does not happen when played with another player (tested with VLC app). It seems to be also restricted to a special file type. Nearly all my music is stored with AAC. The files that have the problem are however only the AAC files that use the profile HE-AAC (AAC+ i.e. with SBR). If I remember it correctly, I created these files with Winamp.
Could you please look into this problem? I like the Walkman player more than Google Music or VLC and don't want to convert all my HE-AAC music to something else.
If you need any more information, do not hesitate to ask. Best regards and thanks in advance,
Mattes

My video files have no sound anymore since I upgraded to QuickTime 7.4

Hi,
I have upgraded to Quicktime 7.4.1 (v14), my video files play no song anymore. I have check the audio/midi config and it is correct. Furthermore VLC is working fine, so my loud speakers are working properly.
How can I do to solve the problem?
Please check my config before replying and only reply if you are 1000% sure of your solution.
Thank you in advance for your help.

These are the downloads and the settings you need in order to view/hear pretty much everything that the net can throw at you: The setup described below has proved repeatedly successful on both PPC and Intel macs, but nothing in life carries a guarantee!
It is known to work in the great majority of cases with Safari 3.0.4, 3.1, QT 7.3 or 7.4 and OS 10.4.11. (If you are running Leopard, ensure that all plug-ins have been updated for OS 10.5.2, but please see my footnote).
Assuming you already run Tiger versions OS 10.4.11 or above (this has not yet been verified with Leopard) and have Quicktime 7.2 or above, and are using Safari 2 or 3, download and install (or re-install even if you already had them) the latest versions, suitable for your flavor of Mac, of:
RealPlayer 10 for Mac from http://forms.real.com/real/player/blackjack.html?platform2=Mac%20OS%20X&product= RealPlayer%2010&proc=g3&lang=&show_list=0&src=macjack
The new RealPlayer Plus (v.11) is still in beta and therefore free, but works well on both Tiger and Leopard. It includes a download function, and you can get that here:
http://uk.real.com/player/mac/
Flip4Mac WMV Player from http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/wmcomponents.mspx (Windows Media Player for the Mac is no longer supported, even by Microsoft)
Perian from http://perian.org/
You should read this support page http://perian.org/#support in case you need to delete older codecs.
Adobe FlashPlayer should first be uninstalled using the appropriate uninstaller available here: http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_14157&sliceId=2 and then the latest version obtained from here: http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1ProdVersion=ShockwaveFlash and installed.
(You can check here: http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/ to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS, but please see my footnote if you are running Leopard.)
In earlier versions than QT 7.1.3 in Quicktime Preferences, under advanced, UNcheck Enable Flash, and under Mime settings/Miscellananeous only check Quicktime HTML (QHTM).
You should also ensure, if you are running Tiger 10.4.11 or Leopard, that you have downloaded and installed all the correct version for your Mac of Security Updates up to and including 2008-002. (N.B. Security Updates require both a restart and a permission repair.)
In Macintosh HD/Library/Quicktime/ delete any files relating to DivX (Perian already has them). However it should be noted that Perian is not an internet plugin and will not play DivX files imbedded on a website. For that you will need the DivX Player browser plugin available from http://www.divx.com/divx/mac/
Now go to Safari Preferences/Security, and tick the boxes under Web Content (all 4 of them) to enable Java.
Lastly open Audio Midi Setup (which you will find in the Utilities Folder of your Applications Folder) and click on Audio Devices. Make sure that both Audio Input and Audio Output, under Format, are set to 44100 Hz, and that you have selected 'Built in Audio'.
Important: Now repair permissions and restart.
You should also consider having the free VLC Player from http://www.videolan.org/ in your armory, as this plays almost anything that DVD Player might not.
There is an additional 'fix' you could try if you are having problems with Flash and Quicktime, depending on which type of Mac you have:
On Intel Macs, make sure that you are not running Safari in Rosetta. You can check this, and change it, in the Get Info window.
On PPC Macs, go to the Hard Disk/Library/Internet Plug-Ins folder, and drag the file 'QuickTime Plugin.webplugin' to the desktop. Quit and restart Safari. If things have improved you can trash that file. If they haven't put it back, as the lack of this plug-in can cause QT content in some widgets to cease functioning.
And now there is an additional kid on the block: SilverLight. Microsoft has created their own version of what a replacement for Flash should be. You can read more about it here:
http://silverlight.net/
So, if you go to any sites that have been designed for this new Silverlight stuff, you can download the plug-in from here (but make certain that you are downloading SilverLight v.1.0 for OS X (10.4.8 upwards):
http://silverlight.net/GetStarted/
FOOTNOTE
If you are running Leopard:
Some users have mentioned that the latest Flash Player (v.9.0.115.0) conflicts with Leopard, and that they have needed to revert to v. 9.0.47. This can be downloaded from here:

Hi i upgrade from lion to mountain lion to day on my mini mac,Since the upgrade i am getting no sound through my HDMI cable which was working fine on lion Checked the midi audio settings and system preferences to out on HDMi nothing no sound whats so ever

Hi i upgraded from lion to mountain lion to day on my mini mac,Since the upgrade i am no longer getting sound through my HDMI cable which was working fine on lion Checked the midi audio settings and system preferences to out on HDMi nothing no sound whats so ever.Any one any ideas?
I use a samsung TV for my monitor via HDMI.Tried all the system Audi setting nothing .Head phone and internal speakers are fine.

Similar issue; Audio was working fine on Lion, now not on Mountain Lion. Have a Macbook Pro early 2011 with AMD Radeon HD 6750M, connected by thunderbolt through a Lacie LBD to a mini-displayport to HDMI adapter (n.b. same problem when not going through the LBD) to a Pioneer VSX 521 AV receiver. For me when I go into audio Midi settings all the volume sliders for the displayport device are greyed out and at zero. But when I click 'configure speakers', it's able to send out the test signals to each speaker. Part of the problem could be that I'm not getting the option to put out 6channel sound, only 2 or 8 channel. Since my system is Dolby 5.1, and I only have 6 speakers, I would have expected the 6ch option to be available. But I imagine there's more to it than that. Elsewhere someone has suggested playing with Remote Interactive over HD on an Onkyo device; I'll see if there's something similar on the Pioneer that can be changed. Any other suggestions welcome.

No sound Since I upgrade to 2.6.24-1

Since I run pacman -Syu a few days before, now my machine has no sound.
Before I upgrade the whole system, everything goes well. After I upgrade the whole system, the sound doesn't work. Modules have loaded, alsamixer OK, but still no sound .
my machine: IBM R50e AC97 sound card
Does anybody has the same problem with me ?
Any opinion appreciated.

Thanks Tpowa for all your effort you spent on upgrading kernel packages. Unfortunately, your cure doesn't make a dumb archer speaking
Can be a collision between alsa module loading from rc.conf and the settigs in modprobe.conf? I have there an option for my snd_intel8x0 (ac97_quirk=0), which was necessarry for the 2.6.13

Email notification keeps reverting to DROID sound - ever since 2.2 upgrade!!!!

Ever since the upgrade to my X, I can set the email notification for my email to any other sound and it will work great for that DAY - after which, it reverts back to that STOOPID DROID sound. It doesn't matter what I do, it always reverts back.
Man this is annoying.....is it a KNOWN issue with the OS??

The Froyo update added a new option that wasnt under 2.1 for each account... Each account allows you to give a customs alert for each account... Goto Messaging > Account Name > Left Menu Button > Email Settings > Notifications > Select Ringtones, this will be the primary alert for that account and all others will use the default notification...
Also remember that when you use the device as Mass Storage and using custom ringer that the ringers are stored on the SD Card so the device can not use that alert so the device usually reverts to the default alert so you wont miss a notification for new message, usually you have to restart to restore the custom alert settings.

Ever since I upgraded my iPad 3 to iOS 6 , utube videos play without sound .

Ever since I upgraded my iPad 3 to iOS 6 , uTube videos play without sound , does anyone know why ?

Try a reset:
1. Hold the Sleep and Home button down (together)
2. For about 10 seconds
3. Until you see the Apple logo (very important)

Audigy 2 ZS Platinum Pro Sound Distortion + Full System Cr

System Specs:
Audigy 2ZS Platinum Pro running driver version 2.2.0002
Pentium D 3.0 Ghz
ASUS P5N32-SLI Deluxe Motherboard
2 Gb PQI 667MHZ DDR 2 RAM
XFX GeForce 7900GTX
I am a music producer/dj and use my sound card quite extensi'vely, since upgrading to Vista I have experienced more and more sound distortion as time goes on. The distortion mainly occurs in Direct Sound applications such as mp3 players (Winamp, Windows Media Player) as well as when playing compressed avi files which also utilise mp3 compression.
Using ASIO enabled production applications such as Fruity Loops Studio 7 does not cause as much distortion although it still occurs at some points resulting in a system freeze and a BSOD.
When distortion occurs sound becomes as what i can only describe as "computerized" and CPU usage goes up dramatically to the point where mouse movement on the screen becomes really jumpy if playing wave data this progresses until the system freezes if however I close winamp or another app playing direct sound CPU usage drops and system becomes stable again until an mp3 or any wave data is played again.
I have tried some of the possible solutions posted on these forums such as turning off enhancements such as CSS and changing the output quality but so far none of these have been successful.
I have managed to get everything else working fine in Vista apart from sound. If anyone has any recommendations as to what I could do to fix this problem it would be greatly appreciated.Message Edited by euphoria_aus on 04-03-200707:5 AM

Decrip,
The lineouts on the card are functioning as long as digital output only is not enabled. So this should work.

Music/sound distortion

Since I upgraded to iOS 7, all of the music and sounds on my iPad are completely distorted. Music sounds horrible. Has anyone else noticed this, and when will a fix be available???

Found an answer elsewhere here! Hold down the home and hold buttons until the Apple logo appears. This resets the iPad and fixed the distortion!
