Sound Levels Are Off

Hello eveyone.
I just purchased a 4th gen iPod Shuffle. I put a bunch of songs on it, and started listening to them. At first it seemed great, then I got to a song where I couldn't even hardly hear the singing. It was all music. Some songs sound great, but others sound horrible. They only do this on this iPod. Any ideas, or do I have a bad iPod?
Thanks.

also in addition I brought it into Premiere Pro CC and Pro Tools and in Pro Tools the audio was spot on, in Premiere it was 3db off and in FCPX it was 6db off. Is anyone else having this problem?

Sound levels are not accurate

Ok, so I added my video to the dvd and then in the main menu i added a music track but the music trac s blaring and then when the video plays the sound from that is much quieter. How do i bring down the levels for the music track i have just added to the dvd menu.
Can I do in garage band or something? I gave it a go but i obviously didn't do it right.
If someone could help me make the levels actually "level" then that would be great.
Thanks

Try removimg any audio from the menu.
Delete those audio files from the assets
Save your project
Close DVDSP
Trash the old high level original audio file (ok, keep a copy in aother location with a new name first!!!!)
Delete the PAR folder that DVDSP created in your hard drive
Empty the trash
Reopen DVDSP and your project
Import the lowered audio background
Place it in the menu
Did you get the idea?
Hope that helps !

Sound level are drastic different

I use Apple tv2 with digital audio to my amplifier and digital audio to the amplifier from the Motorola pvr. Each has a different amplifier input; the difference in the level of sound is ear shattering. The apple tv2 being a lot louder than the pvr.
Any ideas welcome.

in my opinion the issue is that your PVR has a very low sound ouput.
my PVR and appletv have no real difference in audio output thru my amp.

Alsamixer does not remember sound levels

Good afternoon,
I have a recurring problem concerning alsamixer. Everytime my machine starts up, the ALSA sound levels are adjusted back to the level they had before, even if I changed them while running. As the Front Microphone Booster is running on 100%, I get a weird distorted sound when having my speakers turned on while booting - it starts to appear when I have successfully looged into KDEmod.
ALSA is amongst the daemons array in the rc.conf, and I have tried to change the levels and used alsactl store as root. It did not work out as well.
Has anyone an idea, how I get my ALSA to store the levels, towards avoiding the painful distortion on every reboot?
Regards,

I had similar behaviour what you describe start a few weeks ago. I have turned off system sound via the contol_Centre->Sound&Multimedia->System_Notifications->player_settings->no_audio_output. However after the most recent pacman -Syu yesterday I have noticed that under Kmixer if I now have "four channel mode" an mic switch on I no longer get the demented screeming that also seemed to be a symtom of what you described above, when I increased my volume past half way. I also now have alsa daemon dissabled in rc.conf, other sound e.g skype works fine. There was a kernel update as part of my system upgrade yesterday and I was wondering if this may have helped things, have you updated recently.
also note the kdemod updates as of yesterday

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?

I Need to Even out the Sound Level from Tune to tune

This is the problem I'm facing ....
After recording a number of tunes ... and then burning them in iTunes ... I'll find that the ouput level changes from tune to tune.
For example ... one tune's overall sound level is too low compared to the next one.
When I'm mixing I of course try to have the master output as high as possible without clipping.
I have been using Fission to normalize each tune individually ... but
Is there a way to even out the levels from tune to tune. Of course i have "Sound Check" marked in iTunes preferences.
Here is a strange but true story ...
Someone took one of my disks with this problem .... went to a Sony store where they copied it ...
and the sound levels are more even I swear. Is there some sort of software in cd copiers that can do this?
Thanks ......

Here are a couple of articles that give a useful overview of Mastering:
Preparing Your Music For Mastering
Mastering: How The Pros Do It
Other than that, the Normalizing you're doing is the easiest way to even out the relative levels.

SOUND LEVEL LAG on Sony´s bluetooth headsets (SBH 20)

"""SOUND LEVEL LAG? - Sony's bluetooth headset""" first two positions of sound level are silent (same), next two rise level by one (but both positions have same sound level), next two again rise level by one (but both are the same) and i can continue this way till maximum sound level. Shouldn't have every position different soind level??? there´s a thread on google+: https://plus.google.com/102109235167947874965/posts/hY9mxUL5uL1

with connected headset have problem with every app which creates sound. even in safe mode. this is reply of one of user in walkman/music beta test on google+: This is an issue with the Bluetooth stack in Android. It has been present since the Android 4.4 update I think. Maybe even 4.3. For example the SBH-20 only has 7 volume steps in total (I think). To request smaller volume steps would be out of the scope of the Walkman app. My solution was to purchase a Bluetooth headset that actually has more steps in volume. Btw since now i have not found yout how to mark people in posts. can u please give me a quick manual? thx

My IPad sound keeps turning off. I have checked all the settings nd they are ok. I have to reset it all the time. It is very frustrating as I use it as an alarm, need I say I've waken late a few times.

I'm having the same problem?

Keyboard clicks and lock sounds are off even though the settings show them as "on". How can I get them back?

Use the volume buttons on the side of the phone. Personally, I find it's better with those off completely.

When instant streaming Netflix on my Macbook Pro, the sound is very very low even when sound controls are set at highest level.

When instant streaming Netflix on my Macbook Pro, the sound is very very low even when sound controls are set at highest level. I do not have this problem when listening to TV or watching movies streamed from DishNetwork. I contacted Netflix and they had me install a newer version of their software Silverlight... this did nothing to resolve the issue. They were not familiar with the issue.

Well if your on 10.6.2, you need to software update to 10.6.8
Perhaps you need to adjust the Silverlight (Microsoft DRM video plug-in) sound level itself too
Run a check here to see if your current on your Silverlight (works for all browsers)

Use another browser like Firefox and see if it continues.
Try another video file. They all have their own sound levels too.

USB Recording Audio Interface levels are visible but no sound.

I have a Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 2 In/2 Out USB Recording Audio Interface hooked up to my iMac via USB cable.
On the System Preserences Sound Page, the computer recognizes the device and levels are visible.
But there is no sound coming out of my internal speakers/headphones.
I tried recording some music and it recorded fine and played back fine, I'm just unable to monitor the sound as it's coming in.
I've also tried a completely different device with the same outcome.

No, you have every business being here as any help is greatly appreciated.
When you say "core audio" what are you referring to?
Ok, here's what I see in the system preferences->sound window:
Output is set to Internal Speakers
Input is set to my device, the Scarlett 2i2 USB
When I play sound thru the device I can see levels where it says 'Input level'.
Now here's the MIDI setup->audio devices window:
Input is set to Scralett 2i2 USB (hightlighted in the left window with a microphone icon next to it).
just below that it reads 2 in/ 2 out
Output is set to Built-In Output (hightlighted in the left window with a dual smling face box icon and a speaker icon next to it).
just below that it reads 0 in/ 2 out
On the right is the Ch/Volume/Value/dB/Mute wondow
Master volume slider is in Light Grey and un-slidable
1 and 2 are Dark Grey and slidable.
That's pretty much it, sound comes in fine yet no sound from interal speakers.
Now I feel a crying spell coming on. Excuse me. Weep weep weep........

How do I tell Apple to fix their software like apps that play sound even though the sound is turned off and not being able to disable features you hate like game center

Apple is suppose to be the pinnacle of usability and, yet, I want to throw my new IPhone 4s as far as I can and watch is smash into a million pieces on concrete. Seriously, I've already got three things that irritate the **** out of me. First, there are Apple apps that insist on playing sound even though the sound is turned off. If I flick a switch to turn the sound off, I want the sound off!!!! Second, if I do not want a totally unnecessary feature like Game Center, I should be able to disable it. I completed most of the Angry Bird levels with 2 or 3 stars and now I have to start over from square one. Maybe, this happened when I upgraded to the 4s but it sure seemed to happen when I joined Game Center. Tomorrow, I am going to reset my 4s to factory defaults to try to get rid of my Game Center account. I don't want Game Center! I do need Game Center! I hate Game Center! Finally, I had an alarm go off to wake me up and there was a Snooze button but no button to turn the alarm off. I flicked the slider to access the main screen expecting to see something to turn the alarm off but there was nothing. The alarm just kept alarming. I had to warm boot my IPhone to shut the alarm off! Really, Apple!!!!

The sound is turned off. Only, some Apple apps like YouTube and Siri make sound when the sound is turned off. It is very embarrassing when this happens at work. My question was how do I tell Apple to fix this?
Turning off game center does not work. The games just prompt me to sign in when they are started.I have tried everything I can find online to stop this behavior. It is annoying and should not happen. My question was how do I tell Apple to fix this?
The alarm went off. There was a green thing that looked like a button but pressing it did nothing. There was a red button that said snooze. I did not want to snooze. I wanted to turn the alarm off. I slid the bar to unlock the phone and there were no running apps with a button to press. The alarm just keep running. I have not had this problem since it first occurred. The alarm now shuts off when I just unlock the phone. It may have happened because I had another alarm app running. The two may have interfered with each other. I would like to tell Apple about it.
It also annoys me that the button that closes apps leaves the phone app running. If I press on a number at 6:00 AM to get information about who called me, the phone automatically dials the person back and my natural reaction is to press on the button to close the phone app but the phone keeps dialing this person at 6:00 AM. It is a bad design. I would like to tell Apple about it.
Finally, I looked all over Apple's site to try to find someplace I could send them a polite message to let them know that I was not happy with these "features" but could not find anything. It is extremely frustrating to have issues with a product and not being able to tell the manufacturer about it. So, you grow up!.
When trying to fix the Game Center issue, I saw a link someone posted to report issues with the IPad to Apple. The answer I am looking for is where is the link to report issues with the IPhone.

Having trouble with iPhone 5 sound level changing.

When I touch the edges of the side of my iPhone 5, the phone vibrates and the sound level goes to zero. I have to press the sound level button to change it back to whatever setting I had it at in the first place. Any suggestions to solve or is this normal?

Hello Wildcat74
There are some steps to try out that I have highlighted for you in the article below for iPhone hardware troubleshooting.

Camera is not functioning
If the screen shows a closed lens or black image, force quit the Camera app.
If you do not see the Camera app on the Home screen, try searching for it in Spotlight. If the camera does not show up in the search, check to make sure that Restrictions are not turned on by tapping Settings > General > Restrictions.
Ensure the camera lens is clean and free from any obstructions. Use a microfiber polishing cloth to clean the lens.
Third-party cases can interfere with the autofocus/exposure feature and the flash (iPhone 4 only); try removing the case if you have image-quality issues with photos.
Try turning iPhone off and then back on.
Tap to focus the camera on the subject. The image may pulse or briefly go in and out of focus as it adjusts.
Try to remain steady while focusing:
Still images: Remain steady while taking the picture. If you move too far in any direction, the camera automatically refocuses to the center. Note: If you take a picture with iPhone turned sideways, it is automatically saved in landscape orientation.
Video: Adjust focus before you begin recording. After recording begins, you cannot readjust focus until you stop recording. Exiting the Camera application while recording will stop recording and will save the video to the Camera Roll. Note: Video-recording features are not available on original iPhone or iPhone 3G.
If your iPhone has a front and rear camera, try switching between them to verify if the issue persists on both.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Regards,
-Norm G.

Sound Level

I have connected my Apple TV to seperate speakers. (Speakers from Bang & Olufson with buildt-in amplifiers, Beosound 4000). Im using my Iphone as remote control. Dont have TV connected, am only interested in sound.
But the output sound level from the Apple TV is way to high. Cant turn the volume down enough. It goes from OFF og loud, just with one step on the volume bar on the remote.
Is there a fix to this problem ?
And please, a fix that does not involve buying other speakers.

Are you connected via analogue cables or optical?
'one step' on which remote, the B&O remote?
I would not expect AppleTV to output on analogue at a higher level than any standard line level device - you're not connected to a high sensitivity input on the B&O such as a phono or mic input are you?
Far better to have the AppleTV output it's music at a standard level and to control the volume on teh B&O unit in my opinion.
AppleTV only recently had volume control for music using the white remote up/down arrows - seems to work ok but I had my reservations about it reducing sound quality in the past.

Sound level variations without any command

Hello.
When using my iMac 24" 3,06 Ghz, the sound level always varies without any command.
It is very disturbing mostly because it is associated with the display of the sound level on the top of the screen.
Can you help me?
:-) Dominique

A little more background. I've now found that I can get my volume back by clicking the Device setting off of CoreAudio, and then selecting CoreAudio again. This lasts awhile then the sound drops out again. Also, I've tried different instruments in the EXPS 24, different Instrument/MIDI channels and still get the dropout prob. Even deleted the audio object in the environment and started over with a new one. All the other instruments in the track list are EXPS 24 and not affected
