Sound drops like its compressed on music

I have rca audio cables to my TV and when I play music the sound compresses very quiet when a lot of instruments start. Example: Acoustic guitar at beginning of song and music is very very loud but once whole band start it goes to about 1/3 - 1/2 of the volume. Sound check is off. I have tried it with off and on and same results. Defective AppleTV?

Hi
In the Settings page make sure 'Sound Check' is off, as this limits the dynamic range of the material played back - I didn't know what it was but it sounded it awful when I had the settin set to On.

  • HT4528 iphone wont play sound acts like its plugged up.

    wont play ringtones or music acts like its hooked up to a ihome or cord.

    So the sleep button only works intermittently? That sounds like the switch is about to fail. This isn't that uncommon... If you go to
    settings -> general -> accessibility -> assistive touch
    Turn this on and you will find a translucent little doo-dah appears. In this under device there is an option to set your phone to sleep. It's not the best solution but at least you'll be able to lock it when it does fail completely.
    As for your sound problems, it may be that the mute switch is broken, make sure vibration is set to on and give it a wiggle. Your phone should vibrate when you set it to silent and an icon should also appear momentarily on the screen.
    Also, I'd check your settings as headphone volume and speaker volume are set independently of each other.

  • IPod Touch Sounds Like Its Being Drowned!

    Basically There is a problem with the Headphone Socket; when I play any music, video or podcast, the sound comes out like its coming from underwater; none of the treble is coming through, just a few words here and there, no guitar solos, no lyrics, only the main rhythm and bass, i know it is not hte headphones, i have tried differant headphones, ive played it over speakers, ive tried reseting it. it is deffinately the headphone socket.
    does anyone know how i can resolve this issue?
    i am out of warranty so i cant take it back!
    help please i cant live without my music
    Thanks
    Josh.
    P.S. My ipod hasnt been jail broken.
    any help is really appreciated.
    thanks!

    Excellent!
    Here's what I just did, as a result of your problems and other I have read about.
    I don't believe in extended warranties, (normally) but on a device like the IPT, (and its big price tag) I have changed my mind. I've seen to many horror stories about the batteries failing or home button failing, etc, so I just purchased one, before the one year mark comes and goes and I Apple will not let me extend it.
    Something to think about?

  • In the tracing drop down menu, how come the custom is greyed out and can't be selected? It looks like its disabled!!

    cc2014,
    Have you selected an image?
    Unless a good explanation appears, you may start onthe list below.
    The following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file (you may have tried/done some of them already); 1) and 2) are the easy ones for temporary strangenesses, and 3) and 4) are specifically aimed at possibly corrupt preferences); 5) is a list in itself, and 6) is the last resort.
    1) Close down Illy and open again;
    2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to 3 times);
    3) Close down Illy and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup (easy but irreversible);
    4) Move the folder (follow the link with that name) with Illy closed (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible);
    5) Look through and try out the relevant among the Other options (follow the link with that name, Item 7) is a list of usual suspects among other applications that may disturb and confuse Illy, Item 15) applies to CC, CS6, and maybe CS5);
    Even more seriously, you may:
    6) Uninstall, run the Cleaner Tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC), and reinstall.

    If they are iTunes purchases that you bought on your phone then have you copied them over from it to your computer's iTunes ? If that is the computer that you sync the phone to then you should be able to copy them over by connecting it and doing File > Devices > Transfer Purchases. Or (depending upon what country that you are in) you might be able to redownload them directly on your computer's iTunes via the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage.
    In terms of your account's balance, have you tried logging out of your account on your computer (Store > Sign Out menu option) and then logging back in (it will change to a Store > Sign In option) and seeing if your balance changes ?

  • Since I updated my iPad to iOS 6.0, it makes a shutter sound ( like its taking pictures) every time I close the cover, or even when I put it down. Any idea on how to stop this? Thanks!

    Since I updated my iPad 2,it makes a shutter sound ( like its taking a picture) every time I close its cover,or even when I just set it down. Any idea on how to fix this? Thank you!

    Omg, it worked! Thank you so much --- it's been driving me nuts for weeks now! The sound can get really annoying, lol!

  • My phone sounds like its breaking up when I call. Then when the other person answers all I hear is my voice echoing and all they hear is static

    My phone sounds like its breaking up when I call.
    Then when the other person answers all I hear is my voice echoing and all they hear is static
    Same happens when they call me.
    Data over the phone - to Vodaphone - is fine. I can browse. With or without wifi.
    My speaker and mic work fine.

    I think the fault just developed out of the blue. I called somebody left the phone on the table downstairs the person tried to call me back 11 times and I never heard them. When I tried to call later in the day the phone had an error.
    When try to phone my iPhone from the land line the ring tone is perfect but I get the same problem with my iphone just echoing my voice and nothing else - and the landline having loud static and nothing else.

  • Audio export sounds like its in a tin cup

    I have exported my project multiple times with different settings but each results in sounding like its in a tin cup, or sounds like its from  a cheap cell phone.  I imported the audio into audition and exported it to my desktop and it sounded fine but if I use premire it ruins the audio.  It just started doing this in the past few days and I haven't changed anything that I am aware of. Please any help would be great as this is for my employment!

    The audio like you mentioned "sounds like it's from a cheap cell phone" only happens when you cut out the top end and low end frequencies, which clearly looks like a work of an EQ (or any other similar) plugin. Are you sure you heard the exported audio on your desktop and it sounded normal? If yes, then make sure the audio track in premiere doesn't have any effects on it. Also make sure your audio jack's inserted properly. Also listen to something else and see how that sounds just to make sure your speakers/headphones didn't snap.

  • Distorted Audio -- not clipped or in the red but sounds like its both

    I have a audio-distorted interview that sounds like its in the red-- but its not and is clean of clipping -- what could be the problem?

    cizzler wrote:
    One more question-- if I have interviews where the audio peaks above 12 and are also too low to hear in the same clip-- how can I mediate that? Is there an effect that normalizes both without going through with the pen tool and bringing up lows/bringing down highs?
    Mmm...some clarity's required here.  When you say 'peaks above 12' are you talking about peaks during playback above -12 dB on the Audition meter?  If so, there's nothing wrong with that - that's pretty normal.  When you say 'too low to hear in the same clip' are you talking about too low to hear it when it's being recorded, or too low to hear afterward when you play it back?  If it's peaking at -12 dBFS, you should be able to hear it completely clearly.

  • Volume dipping in and out and sounds like its underwater when plugging my guitar amp in through iRig??

    I've just got my first mac that I'm just getting used to, but I've been using garageband on my iPhone for about a year with no problems. I've tried recording my guitar on the mac using my iRig which is what I've been using before, and the sound is awful! The volume keeps going up and down and it sounds like its underwater, whereas it was clear as day on my phone. I've tried turning the compressor off and fiddling with different things but nothings working. I'd really appreciate the help if anybody knows what to do. Thanks

    Oh, one other spot you might check for level control,
    in the Track Info window there is a "volume" control.
    This may or may not be enabled ... I kinda' think
    for the Mac's Line-In it is enabled
    Yes, it is enabled and directly linked to the input volume control in System Prefs. If you have both windows open, you can watch the slider in prefs move as you change the volume in Track Info.
    BTW, increasing the various gain controls on my amp does alter the input volume. The change isn't huge, but it is noticeable.
    thanks again.

  • My macbook 15 inch wont turn on, it makes the hard drive sound and then a few seconds later it sounds like its powering down with like a clicking noise

    Try Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
    If that doesn't help, try Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
    If neither helped, boot from your install disc, run Disk Utillity. The startup disk may need repairing.
    Using Disk Utility to verify or repair disks
    Check the S.M.A.R.T. status at the bottom of the Disk Utility window.
    Make sure it says: Verified

  • Why does the audiobook sound like its in an echo chamber?

    I've been downloading books from Overdrive Media successfully but now when I do it, the audio sounds as if its in an echo booth. They are WMA audiobooks that I download and then transfer to itunes as recommended. What is happening?

    CHeck the Equalizer in the upper Window Menu if its set wrong.

  • USB sound card sound drop outs and glitches

    Hi there, I have been using a Lexicon Omega USB sound card with my Macbook Pro unibody and have been experiencing a failure when running two programs that try to output sound.
    e.g. iTunes will be constantly playing music and another program such as safari pings me when I have a Facebook chat message or if there is a sound when a file has finished copying or i try to play a youtube video at the same time or I play a track in spotify, the sound card freaks out and makes clipped distorted noises then stops outputting sound to the amp and seems to stop receiving a USB signal.
    The curious thing is that after reconnecting the usb cable, all is fine again and both programs WILL play simultaneously, so it should be possible?
    This is really starting to drive me a bit mad as I cant play music and chat online at the same time without the sound crashing.
    I presume it has something to do with what program is assigned to the core audio driver and another program confuses it, like when running Logic Pro which seems to take over the whole sound card for its functions and won't share.
    Perhaps there is something in OS X I could fix or change to get round this or perhaps its just the sound card not working properly and not the fault of OS X.
    Would be grateful for any advice or if anyone else has this issue.
    Harvey
