Sound output level low.

I have a newer 5th generation Ipod. My old Ipod had and output level adjustment. When I dock my new Ipod I have to turn the volume on my tv up rediculously loud to hear it. Is there any way to adjust the output level??

Go to your Ipod Settings> Set Sound Check to = ON.
It a good Idea to also set Sound Check to = ON in your
ITunes program.>
Go to ITunes; Edit; Preferences and then select Playback>
Enable Sound Check;
Download or copy new program from CD and see if your levels are OK;
Hope this helps?

  • System Sound Output Level Reset After Reboot ?

    Whenever my iMac Core Duo is rebooted, system sound output level always get reset to value 0.56 (-24dB) as shown in utility "/Applications/Utilities/Audio Midi Setup". I have to increase the system sound output level to desired value of 0.75(-12.75dB) to match with built-in amplifier of Altec Lansing FX6021 speaker system. The desired setting lasts until next reboot. Is there any way I can fix the system sound output level at desired level between reboots ? Why I have to be involved in such constant struggle with the iMac for such simple audio configuration ?
    Audio Hijack Pro 2.6.7 wihtout Soundflower 1.1 virtual audio device has been installed. Audio hijack function of this utility has not been used at all. Thank you for any pointer.

    Thanks for the confirmation that my iMac is not an isolated case. In case you are not willing to use Audio Hijack Pro, just use Automator to create an Automator script to set system volume (In Automator's Library plane: Applications>System>Set System Volume) and save it as application. Set this application as Login Items for your account through following menu path:
    System Preferences>Accounts>Login Items. Whenever you login with this account, the script will be invoked automatically by Mac OS X and sound levels for output, input and alert will be set to user preferred levels. For older versions of Mac OS X (10.3.9 and earlier) without Automator, same effect can be achieved with Apple Script, use Apple Script Editor instead of Automator to create Apple Script and set it as Login Items. This workaround has been working consistently on my iMac Intel Core Duo.

  • AppleTV distorts sound, output level too high

    Hi
    I have a problem and have already tried a number of solutions.
    My AppleTV sound is distorted, due to the output level being too high. Initially I used the TVs headset jack-connector for connecting to my amp, and lowering the output level from the TV didn't work. It is distorted from the source (AppleTV)
    Now I have bought a seperate D/A converter for connecting the AppleTVs optical output directly to my analog amplifier. Still doesn't work. Sound still distorted.
    When playing music through AppleTV, I have the ability to adjust the volume level on the source device. And then everything is OK.
    But airplaying video/youtube from my ipad (I do that a lot - playing kiddie-flics for my toddler) there is no option to reduce the sound level.
    Effectively most content airplayed will be distorted - and I am sick of it. I have a high-end amp and speakers. I do not expect audiophile quality from the AppleTV. Still I didn't expect defective/destroyed sound... And no, the AMP isn't the issue, as this has been replaced as well, due to an upgrade. Same issue on both AMPs.
    Any good suggestions? Or should I simply accept that the design criterias for the AppleTV doesn't involve a reasonable audio quality? Or is my particular product defective?
    Thanks,
    Claus

    If the audio is clipped there's not much you can do other than re-record. But there is this: http://www.izotope.com/products/audio/RX/

  • Sound output levels from headphone jack

    Has anyone else noticed that the output volume levels from the headphone / external jack are quite low? With my old iMac G5 (rev b) I could have the iMac's volume at 2 bars and it was plenty loud. Now I'm at 6 bars to get close to the same volume with my intel machine.
    If I unplug my speakers, though, the volume from the iMac is quite high at this level, so it seems to me that there's a disparity with the output through the headphone jack.
    Anyone else notice this?

    I agree, and the sound from the onboard speakers is very low as well!
    This is frustrating, my first iMac, the purple grape, from about 7yrs ago had kick-***, very good quality sound. Then, when I bought an eMac ,it was far less quality, (as I understood, due to far less cost), but I was bummed at the greatly reduced volume level as well. Also, I really liked the feature, where you set the master volume in preferences, but the desktop reading was relative to that, not the master.
    However, now, after buying the top of the line ($$$) iMac, I have the same, if not LESS sound going on What is up with this, ESPECIALLY when Apple knows it's products are favs with we musicians, as well as the many music-lovers that don't play???
    We don't appreciate having to set all levels at 10, just to get even a decent level, much less anything loud......very disappointing.

  • Output level low? 3rd Gen compared to new 60Gb

    I had a 40Gb 3rd Gen and the volume levels with the same settings and same playlists are WAY lower with the new 60Gb Video when connected to my ICElink in the Audi. What used to be played at 18 (on the audi deck) now has to be played at more then 22. Anybody else have this? Any fix?

  • Testing speaker output levels...

    Hi everyone!
    I recently had my lcd replaced and in the process the local service provider messed up my subwoofer somehow and replaced that too. It works now but it doesn't seem to be as loud as before. Is there any way I can test the output levels of my speakers without just going by memory? As a note I do have a copy of the Apple Service Diagnostics cd and it passes...but I don't know if it's actually testing the speakers and/or their sound output level?
    Thanks for the help,
    Reg

    See my answer to the other thread you opened. When you do that, you have a double conversion (first D/A, then A/D - though I don't know what actually happens when you use a capturing software like AudioHijack), you might create a hum etc.

  • Lower than expected sound output from A100

    Hi.
    I have recently bought a Satellite A100 PSAA9E and have been pretty disappointed with the low sound output from it.
    It's currently set to the highest volume level and is nowhere near the level I would expect.
    Is this normal for this machine? All advice appreciated.
    Thanks.

    Hi
    Well, its not easy to say what a low level is because its your own perception.
    You know that the notebook speakers are not very powerful speakers because of the size and you can not compare it with other speakers.
    But nevertheless; did you check also the settings in the control panel -- Sound and Audio devices?
    There you can set the different sound controls to max. Maybe then you will notice a difference.

    I have narrowed it down a little more. It is only when I am connected to my wireless network. I can have Wi-Fi enabled, and connected to the internet via a mobile internet connection and there are no issues.
    When I am connected via the router, I have this issue. You could say it is the router, however I have various other machines connected to the same router, without issue.
    So, to clarify.
    WiFi on - not connected to internet via router, however connect by other means - All ok

  • ASIO Low Latency Driver sound output is bad?

    My Notebook comes with "build-in" asio drivers called "Generic Low Latency ASIO Driver". Further there is ASIO DirectX FullDuplex Driver and ASIO Multimedia Driver.
    Sound card is: IDT High Definition Audio CODEC.
    Running Win7 x64 (HP ProBook 6550b).
    All drivers are the most recent ones.
    Problem: 'Generic Low Latency ASIO Driver' sound output is much worse than using the other ones (there the sound is really great in both of them, but they have way to much latencies, so I cannot use them in cubase or any other music daw).
    So I'd like to use the (standard build-in) Generic Low Latency ASIO Driver. But the sound is much worse in contrast to the other drivers! It sounds a bit like a phaser or gramophone.
    Just to clarify: there are no glitches or stuttering in any case. Just the sound-"quality" is that messed up...
    I'm getting really upset about this. Tried the recent version of the ASIO4All 2.10 driver, but the problem remains! The sound with asio4all is exactly as bad as with the buildin Asio Low Latency Driver.
    How on earth can I achieve low latency with good sound in Cubase? Has anyobne experienced things like this before, or might there be any fix for this?

    Well, it's just the standard driver that comes with my notebook, named HP ProBook 6550b.
    http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/SoftwareDescription.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&prodTypeId=32...
    I did not take control over the buildin audio driver installation, because win7 installs these drivers innately.
    The problem does not only occure in Cubase, but in any music tool/program/player where I set the driver to low latency (which obv does not make sense in others than cubase, but for testing I found out that it is not an application related problem).
    It is really strange. The soundcard seems to provide real asio, but the low latency sounds as bad as the "pretending" asio4all. hm...

    I have the same problem. Sound is low coming from the original tape, yet it sounds fine on the mac with external speakers or ear phones, yet when i play it thru the internal speaker, cant hear it at all. if i make a dvd from the video and play it in a set top dvd player if i turn the tv volume up all the way it is there, but i can barely hear it. i can export it to garageband, then to itunes, then play it on another computer just fine, loud and clear, but when i send it back to the video and render the video the sound is very low again.
    have you found any way to help this?

  • Mini Sound Output

    I have a Mac Mini and I have hooked up the sound output to my JVC Home Theatre systems so I can play iTunes through it. The problem is that the sound level is very low even with all the outputs turned up to max. I need to have the JVC up to near max volume to get a reasonable sound output.
    Do I need a preamp or something between the two. Any suggestions ?
    Thanks

    Steve,
    You are correct that a phono output requires an pre-amp. However, in this case it probably is the type of connector used, a.k.a RCA plug. The mini output should be around line level (depending on the various settings for the output level) and indeed plugged into an AUX input. If a phono input was used, the sound would be very loud and distorted because phono signal levels are significant lower than line levels. I wonder if the audio input (with the mini) is selected when the original poster plays his iTunes.

  • Output levels

    I've had a hub fitted in my car so I can connect my ipod as well as have the radio and CD. The ipod connects via the main socket at the bottom rather than the headphone jack.
    This works fine except that the output level of the ipod is so much lower than the other sources that I have to turn the volume up really high and then I get all the background hum and hiss.
    Is there any way to boost the output level so that I can get a cleaner sound?
    Thanks
    David

    i don't know if you would want to but when you right click on a song>Get info> from there you can edit the volume of a song and increase it if you like by 100%.
    *you can do this for multiple songs*
    But occasionally the quality is decreased (although you can always edit back to the original levels)

  • Bouncing in Logic, Suppressed and Quiet Volume Output Levels

    So I've just finished mixing a song from a friend's band's performance and it sounds great. The Output is hot, usually staying upwards of -3.5 decibels and less than 0 thanks to the compressor/limiter plugin and some basic volume automation. I have the computer output levels set at halfway and the master logic output set at half as well, and the mix is slightly louder than I would prefer comfort-wise in my headphones. By all means, my bounce out of logic and onto my desktop should be at a similar volume level, but it is not. In comparison to my songs in my itunes collection, the output is very significantly affected and diminished. A listener would have to turn the volume up on their stereo or computer to reach an equal volume level as their other music.
    I have tried bouncing with normalization turned on and off and have bounced out both aiff and m4a files. My Compressor/limiter plugin is on, but the output never reaches clipping levels as the plugin seems to be working as it should. I have played my bounces in both Itunes (preamp in eq is at half as well) and quicktime with the volumes set at halfway, so it's not a blockhead issue of not having my volume up in those programs. Something is seriously up here, since I have tried many possibilities, my output levels are not requiring a reduction by a plugin and I have not come to a satisfying conclusion.
    My overall questions are: 1) Would could possibly explain what's amiss here since nothing theoretically should be. 2) What explains the difference between the output I hear playing my mix within logic and playing the bounce in other programs such as I tunes (again I did not bonehead here and leave my volume or eq level set low in my Itunes, nor did I normalize my bounce). 3) Should I just send my Mix to an auxillary "master" channel strip, record as audio, and export it as is? I would prefer it not have to come to this. 4) Is it possible that one cannot truly master at a professional level in logic? Do I need to get some expensive plugins in addition, or perhaps an external mastering-specific program?
    I would sincerely appreciate any informative answers here, Thanks

    , and large reason for that is the fact that it always seems to lack any sort of conclusive solution
    I think it always yields a conclusive solution.
    After all, if my question was "I need to be able to play the guitar to put some guitar down" most answers would be either "You should get a guitarist who has the skills already" or "Learn to play the guitar".
    A forum post is not going to suddenly impart the skills necessary to get commercial sounding mixes instantly - the commercial mixers charge a fortune for their work, largely because they are good at it!
    If a mix sounds very loud while I'm bouncing in realtime, what can possibly explain a significant volume reduction in the sound file that comes out the other end onto my desktop?
    You are comparing two different things. When you are hearing it in Logic, there is a playback level going through your interface and to your speakers. When you play the same audio through iTunes, you are playing through an entirely different chain - iTunes, with it's own volume control, through the system with it's own volume control, and so on. Also in iTunes, often people have all kindsof stuff switched on like EQ settings, or the audio leveller function, which is further going to change stuff.
    Just remember that the "volume" you hear is more dependent on how loud your are setting various volume controls than what the contents of the file are. If you're not sure on this stuff, then probably the best way to compare your mixes to commercial stuff is to burn them to CD and play them back on the same system.
    Again, I have no need to normalize at all since my mix has a loud average volume throughout without spilling over into clipping territory on the peaks.
    Are you using metering? You'd probably find it useful to compare average and peak levels on your mixes, compared to average and peak levels on commercial mixes. I think you'd be surprised how "loud" commercial mixes really are - many don't have more than a few dB of dynamic range - at least in the regular pop/rock/commercial categories.
    Presumably, I have exercised all the skill necessary to get a satisfyingly loud mix. If it (the mix) came out sounding exactly as it does in logic it would be louder than I would need it to be.
    It's difficult to know what you are doing, but as long as you are not clipping your outputs, what Logic writes into the audio file is exactly what you are hearing when bouncing. How you then play the file back, in a completely different set of applications, is not going to let you listen at the exact same level unless you set all the affecting volume controls to match everything else. Remember, Logic is talking directly to your audio interface, not playing through OSX's system output.
    So, divide your situation into two areas - am I getting my mix to the relative levels I want, and how am I playing back and hearing that mix, and go from there.
