Sound levels for hearing impairment

How can I increase sound levels of incoming calls? I'm a bit deaf.

Hmmm. . . .
don't take my word as read, I usually master to DVD at -12db this seems to avoid the nasty volume surprise when you switch audio sources from broadcast tv to your dvd player.
That said you would be surprised at the number of DVDs from top name movie houses that have -12db movies with 0db menus . . . talk about left hand (movie co.) doesn't know what the right hand (Yes geezer we make menus inc.) is doing.
If you are suppling a DVD via a professional replication house do what I do and ask them for advice. My opinion says its more professional to ask than not (and yes I realise thats what you are doing here . . . . )

Sound adjustment for hearing impaired

My hearing loss is in the mid to high frequencies. It would be nice to have something like an "equalizer" setting.

I know that, and that is exactly why I'm looking for an EQ app or adjustment. I would be able to set it up for certain people who call most often so I can improve the sound quality. As with most EQ apps, I could create several pre-sets, each for a different person. While it sounds like a lot of work, it would be worth the effort if you have a hearing problem like so many of us do.

Closed Caption for hearing-impaired!

Hey guys,
I am hearing-impaired, i need to know, Does anyone have any informaztion on closed captioning being available with Apple TV?
My hearing loss I cannot enjoy and movie or tv show without captions. My local Apple Store really didn't know if captioning would be included or not but they said they would be setting up a system in the store to try.
Thanks

"selected" content has closed captions (not all).
any content that does have them will have the CC logo displayed in the store.

Standard Sound Levels for Multiple Songs in Audio Tract

I have a video with numerous songs from iTunes in the audio track of the video.
The songs have a wide variety of playback level in the video's audio track.
I know that I can adjust each one manually so that they sound to my ear (and to the audio meter) to be playing at about the same level.
However, is there a simple way to select one of the songs and have automatically have the remaining songs readjust to the selected standard song?
Thanks for any suggestions.

Just closing the loop here ...
I ended up doing the separate track and audio mixer volume adjustment with some individual clip gain tweaks.   Turns out one of my cameras was quiet and another loud, so I used three audio tracks in my movie, one for footage from each camera (luckily the two offenders were more limited).   The nice thing about this approach is that adjustments are easy to make across the board.
On the 6db volume gain, turns out that was enough. Maybe someone has some input here, but I find that watching video on my TV with my surround sound system the volume levels are way more sensitive than my PC.   Ok, not 100% - there were a couple of clips where I upped the gain as well.
The gain adjustment and looking at the waveform diagram is very useful for getting an idea of what level of adjustment is required.   So I did make use of this feature to get feedback on how to adjust the volume level noted above.
If I was really serious, I would have done a bunch of marking key frames and adjusting the volume within the clips.   One of my cameras is really loud when the person filming speaks but the other subjects are much softer. But I took an 80/20 approach and the movie is a little loud in some spots and a little soft in others, but not so much that I have to adjust the volume button. It would be tedious to edit all the footage in this way.   Although I did make use of the key frames for some background music.
Needles: I was looking for a consumer level solution, although admittedly didn't investigate what you suggested.

Different Sound Levels For Key Pad And Incoming Ca...

I have a Nokia Lumia 520.
How do I set the volume differently so that I have:-
A quiet tone (say level 1/30) when I type numbers into the key pad for dialling numbers AND
a louder ring tone for incoming calls (say level 15/30).
Thanks in advance for any replies.

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.

Why such sorry sound quality on iTunes? On some of my purchases the sound level is suppressed on the audio. On others the volume is so low that if I have it set for another song and a new one starts I have to increase the volume to hear it.

Why such sorry sound quality on iTunes? On some of my purchases the sound level is suppressed on the audio. On others the volume is so low that if I have it set for another song and a new one starts I have to increase the volume to hear it.
There is so much distortion on some of the music I have to play it with QuickTime to get a "clean" track.
What can be done to get a consistent volume level or is this another typical Apple product that you have to take what you get and be happy because it's not a Microsoft product?

If that's the best you can do why don't you get on another forum?

When watching movies on my iPad with headphones (they're Bose so good quality) on an airplane I can barely hear the sound with everything turned up--any suggestions to increase sound level outside of normal volume adjustments? thanks for the help

When watching a movie on my iPad 2 with headphones (they're Bose so good quality) on a plane I can barely hear even with volume at highest level--any suggestions on how to increase sound level outside of normal settings-sound level even lower when using a splitter--thanks

Same problem with all headphones and earbuds--just checked settings and Volume Limit was already off--starting to think it's a volume system flaw tied to videos and related sound. No problem getting plenty of sound volume for music, only videos.

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.
Kind greetings,

Sound level options for voice analysis

I have two questions.
I am analysing voice signals using GRAAS microphone, NI9234, cDAQ 9178 & labview 2011. I am trying to produce a two dimensional graph of the signal with SPL (DB)(y-axis) versus frequency (x-axis). I noticed that the SVT sound level.vi from the sound & vibration toolkit outputs into 4 different values;
1. exponential averaging sound level (dB),
2. Leq sound level (dB),
3. running leq sound level (dB), and
4. peak sound level (dB).
Which of this four should I use.
Is it right that I should use linear weightage for human voice analysis?
Thanks in advance

If you've put the sound level to max & still not so comprehensible audio, it could be a hardware fault. A long shot, this haps to my friend check the small hole for the speaker if there is grit/dirt blocking it.
Knowledge not shared is knowledge wasted!
If you find it helpfull, it's not hard to click the STAR..

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.

How can i adjust the sound level customized for each browser tab?

Hi,
I'm kinda a new mac user. I want to know how i can adjust the sound level specifically for each browser tab or application the way you could do in windows.
Thanks.

Volume Mixer feature that Windows has, is not available in OS X.
Best.

Hello All, I want to measure sound level and do octave analysis for Pumps pl suggest a good quality microphone

Hi all, please help me to choose microphone to measure sound level of pumps

I agree with DOS. a 2.8Ghz CPU should OC to 3Ghz easy and should reach 3.2Ghz without much trouble. If I where you I would go with Kingston, Corsair or Geil, probably in that order. If you don't plan on overclocking passed 3Ghz their is no reason to go above 3200 for the RAMM frequency.

HT5731 How can I choose an option to buy movies with captions for the hearing impaired?

Captions for the hearing impaired. Are they available when buying from iTunes ?

They are available, but it's the film studio that has to include them on a particular film.
Those that have closed captioning on them have CC against them on their description pages in the store e.g.
Whether a film has subtitles available on it should also be listed on its descrition page e.g. (from a different film to the above CC film) :
