Sound quality and adjustment

I have a model 32C110U TV and am experiencing poor sound quality (very tinny sounding). I have tried to adjust the audio quality in the sound menu but I cannot detect any change in the various settings that I have made, i.e. if I adjust the bass and(or) treble there is no audible change in the level.
Does anyone have help for this issue?

There is now a fix for this problem you can search for 32C110SNDKT in the top right corner, there is a bulletin that was issued on 10/6/11
http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/support/jsp/outFrm.jsp?ofId=AskIris&searchString=32C110U&x=9...
I am still trying to find out more and called in since I cannot actually read the bulletin since I am a consumer. So far I have found out that it is not a firmware update but a part repair.

Why is the sound quality and volume in itunes so different than when I use other media players

This is an issue which has been vexing me for some time. I've researched it all over the web and have not found a worthwhile answer. Some other posts on these forums have asked similar questions without successful answers. But, none the less, I will try...
I have spent a lot of time over the last two years trying to get my itunes library organized as well as getting good digitized versions from my vinyl records as well as CDs. I was pleased with my results and then I added the songs to itunes. I could not believe how inconsistent the sound quality was. Invariably the volume is always lower. [Please do not post a reply such as: Check the volume controls in itunes proper as well as in itunes preferences (i.e., Sound Check, Sound Enhancer) & the Volume Adjustment in the Information pane under Options for particular songs.] I tried all of those means of adjusting volume. They do NOT work.
There is something more insidious at work in itunes which prevent good sound reproduction. I will give an example. I have played Frankie Valle and the Four Season's song "C'Mon Marianne" on the OS X system sound (i.e. clicking the play button to the song file when selected on the desktop or wherever it resides) as well as in Amadeus Pro. The song sounds great. When I play it when it's in the itunes' library the first part of the song is too lound and then when Frankie Valle starts singing his voice is at a significantly reduced volume.
I have edited the foregoing song in Amadeus Pro to a very high volume (i.e., Effects>Amplify), reloaded it into itunes and it still does not inprove the volume of Frankie's voice in the song, even though the rest of the song is somewhat louder. I have played with the Equalizer in itunes to no effect. It just does not work.
Now, I would glading move away from itunes and use another media player. However, I have other Apple devices through which I listen to music. And the only way I know of to listen,e.g., on the iphone is through itunes.
The other related problem with itune, or should I say iCloud, is icloud match. The icloud Match has taken great sounding music and given me back music of an inferior quality, even though it is a Matched AAC format.
I'm am sorry if I am a little peeved about this issue. If anyone has some suggestions or input to a solution, I will be eternally grateful. Thanks a bunch.

fbuerg,
You are welcome. Glad my good fortune was helpful to you.

GD580, its sound quality and its specs

I bought the GD580, and found, to my utmost annoyance: the sound quality is way below my cheapo Panasonic micro system. You know what: I paid USD250 for the GD580 and the same for my micro system.
At one point, I thought that because the GD580 included a decoder, it would enrich my sound if I toured the sound from my system through it to the Creative speakers, using the optical cable. Plainly wrong. Bad speakers or bad amplifier, or bad decoder, or all of those reasons.
Believe me, the sound from GD580 is no way as full as the sound from my system:
- Bass is OK, until you turn up the volume, and it's not bass anymore. I would not call it music.
- Lower Medium is OK,
- Higher Medium and Treble are where my little system would give the GD580 a run for its money!!! It's no way as full as I would have expected. Poor me, wrong decision.
Creative has been well known for its speakers and amplifier, I believed, so I was looking for reasons in the decoder itself. Hey, the website lists virtually no useful info. on the decoder specs. I was wondering if it's the same quality part as used in the stand alone decoder DST-100?
My little system states: they use a 24 bit / 92kHz DAC (digital to analog converter). The Audigy 4 uses a DAC of the same specs. Does anyone know if the decoder in GD580 uses that kind of part? Or just because the GD580 uses a 6 bit / 44.kHz DAC, sound quality is inferior to an average system?
What ever the result, I must say: stay away from this GD580. Anyone has any suggestion for a better system? Further info: I use it in an environment no larger than 5 sqm.
Thanks for reading this lengthy message to its end. But I was frustrated indeed.

Hi softiam,
One thing to note on the MacBook Air, is that it has only one speaker. Unlike all the other Apple portables, there is only one speaker (located in the area of the return, shift, question mark, apostrophe keys).
With mono, versus stereo, sound the quality will sound different but it certainly shouldn't sound washed out. What are you listening to, something through iTunes?
What are you doing on the machine when the fan ramps up? How are you using the machine, is it on your lap, on a desk? What applications are you running?

IOS 5 Sound Quality and Sound Check issues

So since upgrading my iPod to iOS 5 the sound quality of my music has deteriorated massively and sound check no longer works as it should.
Tracks sound crackly and audio volume will remain balanced for a few tracks when sound check is on, then all of a sudden become completely unbalanced and all over the place. My iPod is only just about useable, it's a bit of a disaster that its main feature doesn't work as it should.
Everything else in my iOS5 works as it should.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Richard.

Since I bought iPhone4 and listened my songs with "Ipod app" and external speakears I was amazed how brilliant, sharp, intense, clear, perfect bass, perfect trebble the sound was, there was no distortions or saturations ever... The sound quality was just PERFECT with the equalization OFF!!! Not remember if I had SoundCheck ON before but now it doesn't make any difference. I installed iOS 5 over 4.3.1 or so and now sound is just more like noise compared to iOS 4, I have selected all presets or equalizations but ALL are poor, maybe some presets work better with some songs but still they are poor.... Songs did not have clarity!! The volume force was like degraded, now I have to set higher volume to produce same force than before with less volume... iOS 5 max volume (100%) is like iOS 4.2.1 85-90% of volume. Difference is that iOS 5 maximum volume starts slightly to distort or saturate audio quality... before with iOS 4 sound quality was Crystal Clear even with max volume!!! In short SOUND QUALITY is DEGRADED... or perhaps I'm a very critical and nonconformist guy in terms of audio quality... this kind of degradation is quite notorious when one loves music!! or is there some other configuration I'm missing here??
Totally agree with Richard!!
At first I thought it was a problem with my phone... I used to believe iOS 5 was engineered for new iPhone 4S hardware and since it is shipped with dual-core processor, I thought my phone was short in resources!!!
Why max volume is lower in intensity???
Why equalization with the EQ Off changed?? All my songs were stored on iTunes, they must have same sound quality properties as they were when first ripped..
I hope Apple enginneers did not sacrifice volume output force in favor of saving some battery, because normally we charge battery when listening music at home with our personal speakers equipment.
I would like to understand the reasons why the new "Music App" was "changed", and why these changes have to go backwards!! That is sad... because for iPhone or iPod lovers music was always important.
thanks

Poor sound quality and distortion

Ever since getting my 27" Imac I've notice the sound quality is poor and bass sounds distort quite a bit and it happens with the computer's speaker, headphones, and streamed audio over the network.
Any ideas on what might be causing this? Sound card or itunes?
Thanks,
Terry

Sounds like an audio circuit issue on your logic board--especially if it does it using headphones too. That almost eliminated the speakers. I would contact Apple and get it looked at.

Sound quality and coolers on Macbook Air

Hello everyone ...I just bought a macbook air (1.86GHz, 128 SSD...) and I'm quite disappointed by its sound quality .... when I pull up the volume it sounds like worn-out speaker. My old macbook white sounds much much better .
Also it's getting hot and the cooler makes disturbing noise like a desktop machine all the time not only when I run applications. Is this common for all the macbook air(s) or I just need to take him to the doctor ?

6th gen Nano: Sound quality and updates?

So I'm looking at possibly getting a 6G nano, couple questions. How is the sound quality? I recently bought a pair of $75 headphones and was very pleased with the them listening on my ipod touch 2nd gen, not so much on my 2nd gen shuffle. Can anyone compare the sound quality of the 6th gen nano to the 2nd gen ipod touch, or even the 2nd gen shuffle?
One feature that may keep me from buying this is the fact that it automatically sleeps after 60 seconds and there is no way to change this. So you have to wake the thing after every 60 seconds, which would be very annoying, especially if you are on a bike. Can/will apple do an update via itunes to add the ability to change these settings? For example the ipod touch has options to sleep after 1,2,3,4,5 minutes and never sleep. Thanks.

I think the sound is really good for such a small device. I don't notice much of a difference between the 6g nano and my 2nd gen touch. I do use better headphones. For exercise I use some sennheisers and also have a $200 pair of Dr Dre monster head phones that sound great! I do have the soundcheck turned on to even out volume levels between tracks.
I biked today with it clipped the left shoulder of my shirt. Yes...you have to hit the wake button to turn on the screen before you can hit the forward to next track button. Not too hard to get used to once you do it a few times. I do wish there was a way to keep the screen turned on ...maybe in a future firmware upgrade.

Nokia N73 Sound Quality and Stereo Speakers

Hi all,
Nokia N73 has two speakers on the top side and a speaker at the bottom side. It seems that only one the speakers on the top is working. Is this normal?
Also the MP3 sound quality is not very good comparing to Nokia N80 or Sonyericsson K750i. Any opinions about this?

The two speakers must work, but to know if thay work, can´t be like that... seems not... If You have serious doubts, go to a Nokia Service.
About mp3 quality, I don´t note nothing different from N70, N80... Is good quality to my hears!

Nokia N95 sound quality and DAC

[IMG]http://www.cnet.com.au/cnet/i/r/2006/mobilephones/22130769/sc003.jpg[/IMG]
Hi
Ive been searching everywhere including Nokia for info and was pointed to this forum! ->
Does anyone know any specifics regarding the nokia N95's Sound Quality??
Specifically:
1. The DAC used in the N95 build?
2. The SQ Differences between the N95 and N91 (build and technical)?
3. The sort of amplification used in the N95?
4. How the amplification (if any) runs through the 3.5mm jack?
5. A comparison to the SQ of a staple player e.g IPOD?
6. Is there a possibility for lineout? (purely a query)
Any help here would be most appreciated !!

Here is the official Nseries specs bout music:
Music Features
• Digital music player - supports MP3/AAC/AAC+/eAAC+/WMA/M4A with playlists and equalizer.
• Integrated handsfree speaker
• OMA DRM 2.0 support for music
• Stereo FM radio (87.5-108MHz /76-90MHz) with Visual Radio support
And I also learnt it has 8 band equalizer.N91 has a special music chip [forgotten who has made it] that was created to beat specially IPOD.Now IPOD has been redesigned but sound still sucks.
Already iREAVER, ZEN has beaten ipod.
I saw a tendency that whoever own this model barely [includin me] support this as best.
But its only upto nokia to keep it still best even after N95 released or not.
Instead can make another model over or as successor.
Plus, I donk think so mainly because y know HDD expansion is easier than SD MMC systems.
And play videos and songs better.
I am sorry that I could not give y a more depth technical feature.
But the fact is IT IS A MUSIC CHEAP ON WHICH LEADIN MUSIC COMPANIES GREATLY RELY ON.
And for nokia it is not impossible to make slightly inferior or superior to N91 Like sound machine and eventually all [music] phone will have this GOOD sound quality as standard....just a thought.
Hope y understand wat I mean.

Is it possible to turn off the startup sound? and adjust brightness...

...so that each time it starts up at the setting I have selected?

This is a pointer to a C program that can be used to adjust the screen brightness.
<http://mattdanger.net/2008/12/adjust-mac-os-x-display-brightness-from-the-termi nal/>
You could then create a launchd .plist that runs at boot time and invokes the program with the brightness settings you perfer.

Losing Sound Quality and Wont Play

Please Help Me
I am Mixing Music on CS6 and then saving the file (tried most file types) I then drag it over to Itunes in which it will play? However the quality has been reduced and also it will sync to my ipod but will not play it just skips by the track
Please Help Me
This would be life changing :-)
[email protected]

Well, it's hard to be specific without a bit more detail on what you're doing, but...
Instead of trying lots of file types, stick to PCM wave files for your recording, editing and mixing. For the sake of standardising, use 16 bit, 44.1kHz sampling.
When you have your final version ready, save a proper wave file master copy then use Save As to make an MP3 copy and drag THAT into iTunes. This'll still result in a loss in quality--it happens any time you move from uncompressed original files to a compressed version. However, this is the way I do things and it seems okay to me.

2.1 update reduces sound quality and volume on Lexus Bluetooth system

I have a Lexus IS250 with a built-in Bluetooth system. Ever since I upgraded to 2.1, I've had to always switch to speakerphone whenever talking in the car, because people are always saying I'm either breaking up, or extremely faint.
I know there's probably not a whole lot that can be done about this issue on my phone, but I just wanted to make it known that I'm having this problem so that Apple is aware of it.
Thanks!

The first thing I would suggest trying is to delete and re-pair the iPhone with your CRV system. (Unless of course, "...restored the system..." means you already did this?) After that, assuming the problem is not cleared, I would perform a test and take a look at the iPhone screen during an incoming call. I'm curious if the display has the CRV selected as source audio.

HF-300 Sound Quality - Loudness and Distortion

Hi,
Just wondering if anybody has any comparative testing on the sound quality and loudness with this unit. I am not sure if mine is faulty or just the best that can be expected from the speakerphone.
Problem is (tested using n95 8 gig and n80) that once the volume is turned up to 70% or more the units sound is distoted terribly. Sounds like the speaker is vibrating and crackling. The symptom is like when you turn up the volume on any speaker beyond its capability which then gets that distortion/vibration effect.
That said when used below 70% volume its too soft to be useable for everyday driving conversations.
Golden question if you own the HF-300 also is can you put it on 100% volume and have loud and clear sound without any negative sound quality? May help if you mention what phone model you have tested youyr with also.
I really think it must be a fault as everything marketed and reviewd about these units states 'loud n clear'. Surely its meant to be used on 100% also without such distortion or why have 100% volume possible.

Sorry to ask again but is the car kit installed with an additional single Nokia speaker or is all audio played through the car audio system (original car speakers)?
Most likely in the second case is that the installer has routed the audio incorrectly.
The kit has two outputs: stereo for music and mono for calls. Mono calls can be installed to run through the single Nokia speaker but musics should be installed to run throught the car stereo 'aux in' channel, hence the question about what audio is distorted.

How much do you care about sound quality in your Home Theater?

Many people sweat over the smallest details when getting a video device (TV, projector), but do not think much about the integration of a sound system in their room. Too many people think that a large TV with an off the shelf sound system will make a great home theater system. Unfortunately, many stores can't even demonstrate the integration of video and audio as evidenced by the huge wall of TVs and a small section devoted to surround sound systems. How is a consumer to build a home theater if you can't hear and see what is possible.
So my question is, how much do you care about sound quality and what have you done to get the most out of your system? For instance: Have you applied sound absorption materials to your walls, have you sweated speaker placement, have you plotted your room's anti-nodes, have you controlled your light levels, have you calibrated your speakers, etc.
Believe it or not, your room's acoustics and the proper type of audio equipment and speakers play a much LARGER part in your enjoyment of anything that you watch. You just can't throw some speakers into a room wherever you want and expect to have an engrossing experience.
The reason I ask is that I don't believe that many people care about sound quality since a large percentage of the population think that portable digital audio players sound fine. I would like to be proven wrong. My other goal is to raise everyone's awareness that you need to think about more than just a large TV in order to build your home theater.
I do not work for Best Buy and am not affiliated with them in any way. I like HT and want to help people improve their HT experience. "There is a LOT more than just having a TV to make a home theater"

It really depends - I am working since the last 2 years on an very large Applet (~650 classes / 1.5mb classes) which had design-time comptibility with MSJVM and Netscape-1.1.5.
Now 2 years later the applet is still not finished although I am pretty sure we would already be shipping if only our managers would not had been that stupid to decide 2 years back to support obsolte jvms.
Since Netscape-4.x is dead and MSJVM useage really decreases dramatically (I guess it won't play a role in 2-3 years) I only can recommend to not target to the msjvm any more.
its really ugly and its buggy, whereever you look bugs, bugs, bugs.

N81 8GB sound quality

Hi,
While the mp3 player sound quality is great on my new phone, all the other sounds (ringtones, sms alerts etc.) have really low quality. They make this irritating click at the end every time they are activated and you can hear a hissing noise as they play. Is this normal?
It seems to me like the hardware and software depts. at Nokia are not too friendly these days. My phone came with a broken hands free and a back cover that's loose and creaks when using the phone . The OS is the only thing that has been polished to (near) perfection...

my n95 8gb has better sound quality and loudness than n95 so i would assume it is either the same as n81 or better as it is the higher spec multimedia phone. But it can depend on the headphones being used and also the individuals hearing.
Every place i looked everyone said that the N81 performs better than the N95 8GB sound quality-wise in every aspects.

And i too think that N81 is not the music flagship by the way, it's N91 8GB. Nokia emphasises the ngage capability of the N81 (and they mean it), while N91 is entirely music.Message Edited by riot on 05-Nov-200701:53 PM
