Sound on the 3GS

For those who have received their new 3GS phones, can you posted your opinion about how the sound is? Do you notice any difference between the 3GS sound and the 3G sound?

ive recently upgraded to 3gs. am experiencing some nice musical sound which comes out from the phone. its not an app which is running in the background or an email, sms or alarm type. this is making me nuts as i cant figure out why is emitting this sound? please help me in figuring it out.
Your iPod maybe?
Go to iPod and see if anything is playing.
If not, turn off your phone and the sound should stop.

Why is my new iPhone 4S and Lion operating system so glitchy and problematic, compared to the 3GS that I had before?

This is the 2nd time in the same day that I've sought out the Apple support communities after never once having to in the 6 years that I've used Apple products. All of my Apple products (iphone 3GS, 2 ipods, an imac with snow leopard, 2 ibooks) has worked very well that I've purchased from Apple until the last two products I've purchased.
Within the last month I've purchased the iphone 4S and upgraded to Lion on my iMac. When I bought the iphone 4S I was shown that there was a new feature, iCloud, loved it! What a great idea for people like me that have multiple Apple products and now that information can be merged together without plugging in a cord!? I upgraded to Lion to have the same capabilities from my imac, to my ipad, to my iphone. The Lion operating system has had more glitches and problems than I could have ever imagined any apple product having (I've already started a discussion on how to get through to Apple that Lion needs to be reworked).
So far I've had nothing but problems with the iphone 4S, (Apps quitting, phone freezing, calls dropping, calls not going through, Bluetooth connection). After contacting support I was told to power off the phone (had already done that), and then to reset the phone (actually very easy with iCloud), but this is not something you should have to do with an Apple product that is a week old. Even after resetting the phone has continued to have the same problems. I'm considering taking it back, but I loved my 3GS so much before, and I'm expecting / hoping an update will come out that fixes all of these problems.
Is anyone having these same problems after upgrading phones?
Has anyone heard of updates coming out?
Is iCloud part of the problems I've been experiencing with my iPhone 4 S and the Lion operating system?
I used to feel that Apple was synonymous with problem free computers and gadgets. I've continued to buy and use so many Apple products because they worked so well with very few problems. Did Apple's ability to make quality products die with the old CEO?

Sounds like the backup of your old phone, which was restored to the new phone, was / is corrupt. Set it up as a new device. Do NOT restore your backup. See how it behaves. I'm will ing to bet the entire problem with the phone has been caused by a corrupted backup that is now affecting your phone. Every time you restore, the problem comes with it.
I've had no problems at all with Lion or my iPhone 4S.

So what do the 3GS users ACTUALLY get with this update!!??

I'm seeing nothing I like so far. Anything actually decent for the 3GS?

No sound from the 'Music' app after upgrading to iOS 5

After upgrading to iOS 5 I went to play music in the new 'Music' App. However, no sound came from the iphone (3gS) athough the songs continued to play. Has anyone encountered this issue and how have you resolved it. I thank you for responding to my question.

Hi Guys,
I have post eariler on another forum and I have the same problem, I have tried all the things listed here and nothing was perminant in fixing this painful iphone hating problem.... and failed. You probably have the problem when you use youtube or your music external speaker that there is no volume bar and no sound.   I have had the same problem But I need to happily say that I now have the fix!!!! This worked for me and I fixed it by myself so you don't need to go to apple or service centre or anything.
Ok I like so many of you here truly believed this was as IO5 issue as it only dropped the sound on the speakers once that IO5 update came along. I tried a bunch of reset, reboots, home clicks, lock and unlocks, to fix this and all failed. some worked for an hour but then failed. hours of my life that I will never get back.   but since I have learnt this is not a IO5 problem but a hardware issue! ... and in paticualar is has to do with your bottom connection. Your phone is thinking it is docked all the time.
To fix the no sound problem what you need is...
1. a torch
2. a tooth brush
3. methalated spirits
4. a butter knife
Step 1.
get your torch and shine it down the bottom connection plate to see what kind of dust, sand, hair or anything you have stuck in there.   all that need to be removed! everything! it might look clean but still thats ok go to step 2.
step 2.
Turn on your music app and put the speakers on! If your phone is like mine it should not work. you most probably don't even have the volume display to turn it on but its ok, just do it! and it should still play with no sound.   its important you try and run the speakers as this will show you that it is a hardware problem.
step 3.
Dip your tooth brush into some methated sprits.   then at your sink tap the exess metho out of your brush as you just want the brushes to be slightly damp, not soaking wet and then scrub the bottom connetiors on your iphone. work the brush back and forward in a way that scoops the dirt out of the phone, not just pushing it side to side.
(As you bushing you should notice the volume bar come back on or off as you scub.   This happened to me and that is how I realised I was on the right track to fixing this problem as I was doing something external that was actually controling when the volume display came on or off.   but once I cleaned it this still didn't fix the problem...)
Step 4.
Use the back side of a butter knife (not the sharp side) to gently slide over the connectors on the iphone. Do this gently as you are only pushing down on the tiny metal contect bars and you should notice the volume display come on again. slide it back and forward. Now the area of interest is about 2/3 along the connection plate to the right.   This is the area that has the infomation sent when your iphone thinks its docked.
This has worked for me and I have not had a problem since I did this 2 weeks ago.   I have since learnt that the new IOS 5 has activated a different part of the bottom conectors. if you have been using dodgy connectors or unapproved apple cables (as I was) any damage or hair and dirt on the terminal this is effecting it. Try it.   just remember if you can do something external to your phone then there lies the problem.
Hope this works for your phone as it did for mine.
Cheers

Load another sound in the same sound object

Hi,
I am loading a sound like this:
public var smallSound:Sound = new Sound();
public var trans1:SoundTransform = new SoundTransform(1, 0);
public var channel:SoundChannel = new SoundChannel();
smallSound.load(new URLRequest("firsttrack.mp3"));
channel=smallSound.play(0,1,trans1);
When an event occurs (button click actually) I would like to stop playing the first sound and playing another sound in the same object. So I try doing this:
smallSound.load(new URLRequest("secondtrack.mp3"));
channel=smallSound.play(0,1,trans1);
but it does not work. The first sound keeps playing. I havent understood something probably.. Can someone help me ??

ok, i solved my problem. It works like:
channel.stop();
smallSound = new Sound;
smallSound.load(new URLRequest("secondtrack.mp3"));
channel = new SoundChannel;
channel=smallSound.play(0,1,trans1);

Supports multi-channel digital audio output on compatible devices
make sure your ipad is not muted
make sure you volume is not all the way down
make sure audio play out of the ipad when not connected to the hdmi adapter
if you did and it don't work then it's likely an issue with the connetor
or the tv or it's settings

No sound from the TV when using HDMI cable, No sound from the TV when using HDMI cable

I recently purchased HDMI cable and adaptor, so that I can play downloads from my Macbook Air on my TV. There is only sound from the Macbook, not the TV - Do I need as separate cable for sound?

I've got the same issue: when I connect my Macbook Air (2011) to TV via HDMI cable there's no sound through the TV system, only from the Macbook Air. I used to use my older Macbook Pro with the same HDMI adapter and it worked just fine, but not with the Macbook Air it doesn't.
My software is up to date. I tried to select the TV as an output option in sound preferences, but it doesn't yield any results.
Rebooding multiple times doesn't help either.
Any suggestions on how to tackle this problem?
Thanks in advance.

How can I use the sounds of the Yamaha Motif XF6 in Logic Pro 9?

I have Logic Pro 9 on my Mac Book. I also have a Yamaha Motif XF 6 synthesizer. Instead of using Logic's software instruments I would like to record the sounds of the Motif directly into Logic.
I have been told that an audio interface is necessary for this. What kind of audio interface would be good for this? Any in particular?
And, once I have obtained the interface, what steps do I need to take to hook up the Motif into Logic to utilize the Motif's sound bank?
Detailed steps would help, as this is new stuff for me.
Thanks!

Since this is a user forum only, and your questions will take a lot of time to answer you might want to check both the Logic manual and the XF6 manual. The XF6 has possibilities such that you may not need and Audio interface if the Firewire option is present.
Also you have a built in USB MIDI interface as well, you will need to download the Yamaha MIDI driver.
Read Exploring Logic Pro, especially chapter five, you can record your performance via MIDI, edit it and then commit to audio.
Dig in.

I want to link my Mac Mini through my independent hifi system, which forms part of my home tv system which is the monitor I am using with the Mac Mini. The hdmi cable I am using comes from the receiver of the tv. I cannot get sound from the Mac Mini. Do

I cannot link my new MacMini with my TV's sound system. It's a Pioneer screen & receiver with an independent Pioneer Amp. The Mac Mini does not pick up the sound through the hdmi cable, so how do I get sound going through the MacMini so I can appreciate the music and films I want to hear. Do I need another piece of Apple kit? I have seen 'Express' on Apples web site. Surely I dont have to pay for this as well?
I used to have an Apple TV box which had a seperate audio connection from my Pioneer Amp and it worked great.
Help will be appreciated

The Mac Mini is going to be used for an Internet connection on the Pioneer Plasma/receiver so I can also play stored films from a seperate hard drive. The receiver has an HDMI connection which I have connected the Mac Mini too. the picture is fine, but there is no sound. I have checked the 'sound' settings on the Mac Mini and it registers the Pioneer PDP receiver is connected but states it has no audible connection?

How can I remove the background sound from the headphone jack for my MacBoo

for my MacBook Air problem adding music intensifier (Panasonic ST-HT1000) to give it an unpleasant sound background that sounds like a whiz, it's not so loud, but it is an unpleasant .. after a short time can get used to, but the fizz does not pass, however, believe that it is a big problem.
Further I notice that when MacBookAir disconnected from the charger, it remains quieter sound.
At first thought that the headphone jack (3.5 mm Headphone:
Connection: 1/8-Inch Jack) or wiere have problem, but tried 3 different cables, but that does change enything, the problem remains.
When I added iPhonu3GS playing - the background sound were not, then everything is OK!
How can I remove the background sound from the headphone jack for my MacBook Air 13?

There is no way to bring that up unless you have it typed in a document. You can use My Support Profile to find a list of serial numbers that have been purchased or registered with your Apple ID.
