Sound level problem

hi all,
My iPod Nano 6th gen, suddenly turns the sound level all the way down whether I have the earphones on it or not. I restarted it and even restored it, but the problem remains. Anyone sees the same problem? Any solutions?
tks all

So I took my 1.33Ghz iBook back to the Apple Store to have it replaced for this clicking/popping noise, volume balance problem that they are unable to fix or acknowledge as a bug. While I was waiting to be helped by the genius, I thought I would do a test with the iBooks and Powerbooks in the store.
Here are my startling findings....
ALL OF THE 12" IBOOKS AND POWERBOOKS IN THE STORE HAD THIS POPPING/CRACKLING SOUND.
Seems to be a bigger problem than even I had thought. I guess we will have to wait for a 10.4.4 update that hopefully will fix this problem.

Mac pro with vista 32 installed on a second HD; problem with sound level

its good when i log on the mac os HD,
but on the vista hd, the sound is too low.
in device manager the "sound, video and game controllers" displays: High Definition Audio Device.
amd if i try to update it it will say that its got the latest drivers for it.
I tried all 3 jacks on the tower(2 at the back, and one the one in the front), always got tthe same sound level. I also tried disabling the sound jacks and left one activated, same thing.
on the Mac OS, the sound driver is "INTEL HIGH DEFINITION AUDIO DEVICE"
and on Vsta its "HIGH DEFINITION AUDIO DEVICE" is that the problem?

HT5517 How can I adjust sound level when streaming radio from my Apple TV through Airplay speakers?

I have a 2nd Gen Apple TV with an airport express set up as airplay speakers. I can stream the new radio through using the Airplay speakers pretty well. The problem is that once I've got it going, I cannot adjust the sound level without laboriously backing out of the radio menu, going back to the top level menu then drilling down into the Airplay settings to raise or lower the speaker's sound level.
Is there an easier way to do this?

go to system preferences > Sound > Output. then change the output from "built-in" to HDMI.

How do I get a descent sound level and quality when exporting out of Logic ??

Hi guys,
I know this topic's been discussed many times before but I still can't fix my problem
I'm going crazy right now. It's been weeks I've been working on beats on Logic and I think they now sound pretty cool.
So I'm trying to export them out of Logic on mp3,or wav, or aiff but everytime it comes out very low. So when I'm applying different tips (limiter, adaptative limiter and different things I found on the internet... ) the sound level is a bit higher but still the quality is not as good as it is on Logic
So here's my questions : first, is it possible to get the exact same quality as the one you have when listening into logic ?
then how to get the best quality with a normal sound level so when you listening to the mp3 or wave or aiff on itunes just after a normal song you don't have to turn the sound up
Thank you very much for you help !!
Ben

My pc sound level is very low on playback from dvd and most websites even though its at 100 percent

the playback level on dvd and most video streams is very low.(youtube seems ok)This is my second pavillion g7 w/ windows 7 .The first had a defective fan but the sound level was ok and there was a graphic eq section for sound control with other output options.I've yet to find that area on this pc in the month I,ve had it even though their identical computers.I,m at a loss for the cause of the problem.Headphones work fine but are annoying.

i use professional studio monitors to monitor the audio
the issue , is if i turn up the audio it will clip on premieres main output. so i cant turn it up any more.
the specific moment i took the screenshot the audio volume was at -18db, but even if it was up at 0db it would not even reach half volume on my computers main output
this is the case regardless of the nature of the audio, be it stock music, dialogue, or sound effects maybe there is a hidden master output that im unaware of

Nokia N95 8G Bluetooth sound levels

I am hoping someone out there can help me with a small problem with my bluetooth headset and phone.
I have a Jabra BT250 headset which i used to have paired with my old N73 and the sound levels on it were very good but now having it paired with my N95 8G the sound levels are not great. I have turned up the volume on the phone and headset to maximum but it still does not produce good enough sound.
I used to have to turn down the volume using my old N73 but now i am wondering how i can turn it up.

Hi,
I have the same problem - bought a bluetooth headset so I can use the GPS function on my motorbike but as soon as you activate the GPS the headset is disconnected.
I've managed one work-around so far - I've told the GPS software to use my external bluetooth GPS receiver and not the internal one. Now the headset works.
It's not what I'd call satisfactory but it works. Would love to use the internal gps receiver tho.
Any suggestions?

Microphone calibration for a sound level meter

Hi I need an application for measure sound level by using the sound and vibration toolkit and severl microphones as input, but I don´t get the same values as a portable Phonic portable meter. I´m using a 60db gain preamplifier but when i use this value in the pregain scale voltaje to EU block I don´t get any value, but if I use -60 it works! is that correct? on the other hand, I´ve seen a calibrate microphone block for the traditional daqmx but I dont understand how to use it and I cant find examples. Do you have one? I have a cDAQ with 9205 A-input card. Also, if I use the PC microphone input to get the data do I have to put an pregain value for the scale voltaje to EU block?
I need dome help please. Thanks a lot.

¡Hi mario_rojas!
I checked the documentation and SVL Calibrate Microphone (DAQmx) VI if you run it with the proper configuration it will measure the sensitivity of the microphone connected to the channel you specify. Can you tell me what version of the Sound and Vibration Toolkit you are using? There are some specific inputs that you need to configure, but I need to know the version to tell you the values you need.
About the -60dB gain, it should work with +60. When I have the version of the toolkit I can check this out for you.
About the question for the PC microphone, you should not have to input a pregain value, since you do not have an intermediate amplifier between the microphone and the daq board, you just need to find the sensor sensitivity. We can use the SVL Calibrate Microphone (DAQmx) VI to find out if we don’t have that data in the specs.
I think we are dealing with the same problem in this forum:
http://forums.ni.com/ni/board/message?board.id=250&message.id=36845
I think it’s better if we continue working in one forum. Please let me know if this is the same issue, and if it is, in what forum would you prefer to keep posting.

Sound Level Meter vi

It would be great if I could manage to have a Sound Level Meter vi. I do not have SVT.
Right now a .vi sharing would be best, but in my mind it is to start to make my own, this kind of tasks make you learn. The problem is time.
Any sharings? Suggestions? I found this in an old post, but, I get this error:
"Poly VI 'AI Acquire Waveform.vi': subVI is missing.

AI Acquire Waveform is part of the old traditional DAQ API. You can either replace the traditional DAQ VIs with DAQmx VIs or install traditional DAQ (provided you are on a supported, 32-bit OS). I would recommend the former. The sound level algorithms should still be good. Let us know if you run into issues.

Playing with loopback: sound level doubled.

I've already bought Mainstage (version 2.2) and the loopback plugin is great! I've just one issue: when I record using loopback there are 2 signals in the output so the volume is higher, but when the loopback is playing there's only 1 output and so the sound level is lower.
This is my situation:
In one channel strip there's EVP88
In another auxiliary channel strip there's the loopback plugin assigned to the Bus1.
In the first channel strip I put a send to the bus1 in which there's the loopback. The "send level" is 0.0. The channel strip levels are all on 0 dB.
The problem is that doing in this way the level of the evp88 is doubled when it pass through the loopback.
Because in the Output I have the evp88 (at -6dB for example), then the sound goes through the bus1 in which there's the loopback channel strip who sends again the sound to the output (again at -6dB).
So the result is that when I play something during recording on loopback the sound I hear is for example at 0dB (because in the output there are 2 signals). When i stop playing and the loopback is playing the recorder track, the sound is less than 0dB (Because there's only the signal from the loopback).
How can i solve this issue?
Thanks guys

Hi
Within the Loopback GUI, there is an option for Monitoring

Sound Level Pressure with several channel

Hello,
I met a problem with the VI "SVL Exp Avg Sound Level.vi". It works perfectly if I make a measurement with a single microphone, but with more microphones I have some computation error with discontinuity depending on the buffer size.
The following message is given in Labview Help :
"The SVL Exp Avg Sound Level VI requires a continuous input data stream. An
internal mechanism automatically detects any sampling discontinuity and resets
the filters. "
I suppose that there is a link with my problem, but I have no idea to correct it.
Here is my VI which is composed of a producer/consumer pattern. The consumer loop computes the sound level pressure during the measurement and stores the measured data in a TDMS file.
I am not expert with enqueue and dequeue function, so maybe it is bad programmed and I have some discontinuity in my data stream coming from the dequeue function.
Thanks for your help,
Mathieu

Based on your screenshot, it looks as though your code may be computing the weighted sound level for each channel in a single For Loop. The Weighting VIs and the Sound Level VIs maintain state, so it is not correct to use it in a For Loop to process multiple channels. Instead, wire the entire array of sound pressure channels to the input of the weighting and sound level VIs. The polymorphic VIs will adapt to the input type, and if the input data is continuous, the warning will not be returned.
Interestingly, you may be able to simplify your code if you specify the read order to group measurement types. Here is some code that I was looking at when evaluating performance for some different approaches to grouping waveforms. The Group by measurement type case was the fastest.

Low sound levels in Photo Booth and Imovie

I am a new Mac user and I am trying to record a short video to email using the built-in Isight camera. I have tried to use Photo Booth and Imovie and both of them produce videos with very, very low sound levels. You can barely hear it even when turned up to the max. I have checked the Sound preferences, and it is set to the built-in microphone, about mid-level. I've tried cranking it up to the max and with and without Use ambient noise reduction checked. It has no effect. How do I get a decent sound level? It is unusable at this point. I've updated my Software and repaired permissions, and still no luck. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Thanks for the response. I checked my midi audio settings and they are at the suggested rate. I called up an Apple support tech, and after trying a few things he basically said the internal mics are junk and go buy an external one. In the mean time, I've cranked up the sound levels to max, so I can hear it a little, but there is a ton of background hiss. I've done a web search and several people have reported this problem. so I think it might be something besides junk mics. Why do they install them if they are completely unusable? Thanks again. I'll try trashing the sound pref's too.

Is there a simple sound level meter for iTunes for windows ?

I'm trying to check the sound level of my music in iTunes and was wondering if there is a simple sound level meter plug-in for iTunes out there.

HP Pavillion 15-p046na sound level on playback

Hi,
I've recently bought an HP Pavillion 15 laptop with AMD/Realtek HD audio hardware and Beats Audio.
Windows 8.1operating system. It's brand new out of the box with no updates made.
When I playback mp3 music via Windows Media Player, the volume is getting boosted during quiet parts. This is especially noticeable on tracks which fade out, the sound level gets progressively higher as the song fades out, like it's trying to maintain a constant playback volume. This creates a lot of background noise on music recorded from vinyl, for example.
I've checked it isn't the recording, by transferring the same mp3 file to another device and playing it there - the song plays back exactly as recorded, no problem.
I can't find any options in the audio devices (or beats audio) which might control this behaviour. Is there an equaliser somewhere in the system?
p.s. it behaves the same even with Beats Audio disabled.
p.p.s it behaves the same with internal speakers, headphones and external speakers.
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Hello, @MusicManJohn
Welcome to the HP Forums.
It appears that you're having issues with audio playback. I will try to assist you on this.
As you mention not dong any updates yet, start with those. Complete all Windows updates, then use the HP Support Assistant to make sure all drivers are updated.
From there, read over this document:
No Sound from Speakers (Windows 8)
You have checked a few things from it already, just go over to see if there is anything else.
You can also try these steps (not sure if they will work for this issue, but have for other audio issues)
Open Windows Control Panel > Sound > Under Playback tab, double click on Speakers to open Properties > Go to Advanced tab > From the dropdown, select the highest quality stereo output. By default its on the second lowest setting which is DVD quality > Apply and close.
If that doesn't help, try this:
Move from the Playback tab to the Recording tab. Double click on Stereo Mix to open the properties and repeat the steps done earlier. Go to Advanced tab, select highest quality from the drop down > Apply and close.
Please let me know how this goes.
Thank you for posting on the HP Forums.

Any automation for output sound level conflict?

I just upgraded my home computer to a shiny new(er) G5 iMac, running 10.5.5. I don't know which of those are the necessary conditions for a change in output sound level behavior that I'm trying to tame. I have generally kept my cordless headphones permanently plugged in, rendering the old machine (G3 iMac, 10.4.11) silent to the outer (quiet) world of my house, including when it does a scheduled startup in the morning with some people still asleep. This worked well until the new machine arrived. Now the machine is still silent (outside of the headphones) all the time except when it powers up -- the startup chord now plays through the speakers regardless of a plug in the output jack. The problem comes with the output sound level. For headphones, the overall sound level needs to be at maximum. But the overall sound level seems to be the only volume control on the startup tones, and it is then at wherever it was set when the machine was last shut down. So if I forget to run the sound level down to 1 or zero before shutting down, the startup blasts everyone out of bed! So: I now have a sticky note on the iMac reminding me to turn down the sound at shutdown, which will usually work. My question: is there a more elegant way? Is there some way to automate the turning down at logout time, say? I'm inexperienced at scripting, but happy to learn. Any and all suggestions appreciated!

There were no responses to my problem, so I will post a resolution. I dug a little, and found there are several add-ons out there for this problem.
One is http://www5e.biglobe.ne.jp/~arcana/software.en.html, which has the elegant interface of an added system preference pane. However, it is in a beta release, and temporary administrator authentication does not work. As far as I can tell, in order to get it to work, you have to login and run with administrator privileges, never a good idea. Maybe someday this app will work.
But I hit paydirt with an app called Psst, http://www.satsumac.com/Psst.php. This does just what I wanted. The interface isn't as elegant; you just run the app and make your settings, then quit. It leaves a daemon process running at every startup that does just what you want: it saves the global audio volume and resets the volume to the Psst setting at shutdown. Then at the following startup, the startup chime sounds at whatever the Psst setting was, then the audio volume is set back to the saved value. You can just forget it's there, having once set startup volume level.
Too bad that Apple didn't build this in the latest Mac OS, but Psst seems to fill the gap.
