Sound/Volume Problems

Whenever I try to adjust the volume on my ipod touch while playing a song a get a crackling noise and the slider shakes. I know it is not a problem with my earbuds because I have tried using different types of earbuds and still have the same problem. I have also tried restoring my ipod. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Gary,
There is a lot I don't know yet, but I definitely managed to raise the volume by cutting off the sound check and the equalizer when importing new stuff. As a test, I can now hear the words in an audiobook, although the volume is still on maximum for my iPod and car tape player. Unfortunately the old stuff still sounds too faint. (Is this iPod actually updating?)
There is a problem with my car tape player. I haven't bought a head cleaning kit yet, but plan to do so. I connected an FM transmitter and tested the sound -- it was a lot louder. (In my area, I cannot use an FM transmitter in the city because of FM interference. No empty stations. So I either need earphones or to make the tape player work. Or a new car
I don't know yet whether it's the Sound Check or Equalizer that makes the difference. I don't think I ever used Sound Enhancer.
You can raise the volume by selecting songs, going to "Get Info" and resetting the volume bar. This seems to make it louder on the Mac speakers. I cannot tell that anything is getting through to the iPod -- I simply don't hear it yet.
I don't know yet if importing when using Sound Check does anything permanent to the volume of the song. I hope not.

  • IPod/iTunes Sound Volume problems

    I listen to my iPod Mini on my car radio, and used to enjoy turning the music up loud sometimes. Now I cannot GET it loud, even though I have the volume on my radio and iPod set to the maximum. For audiobooks, I can no longer hear the words clearly over the sounds of traffic. The volume on the iPod used to match the volume of the radio. Now it doesn't -- if I should flip to the radio without lowering the volume, I get hit with a blast of sound.
    I think I might have done something in iTunes that is causing this. I cut off Sound Check and the equalizer. I also raised the volume using the Get Info options. It doesn't seem to have made any difference for the iPod when I updated. I still can't hear it very well through my tape adapter on the car radio.
    Have I done anything mentioned above to cause or fix this problem? If so, do I need to delete everything from the iPod and re-load it?

  • Sound volume problem after upgraded to Lion Mac OS X 10.7? Any help?

    I have just upgrade to 10.7 Lion last night. Whenever I change the volume, no matter by pressing the volume up or down button on the keyboard, or using the mouse to change the volume on the top bar, the computer hangs for a while, with no sound, for a few seconds, the youtube video reset or hang, even the Safari hangs for a few seconds.
    Anyone has the same problem? Any fix on this?

    Another thread suggested this fix see screens
    Removal of the following files
    ~/Library/Preferences/Audio/*.plist
    ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.soundpref.plist
    This is a possibility for a fix.

  • Hi,I have 4s,I have a problem since 2days that the ring tone,lock sound,password sound,volume button and slide,calls flash,all sometimes working and sometimes not,plz help me to solve this problem.thanks

    HI
    i have iPhone 4s with iOS 8.1.3 , since 2 days I'm facing a problem that the ring tone,lock button sound,password sound,volume buttons,slide volume and incoming call flash,
    all these not working properly , sometimes it will work and sometimes it will not, I tried to restart the phone many times but I didn't fix the problem
    plz help me to solve this problem

    Try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again. You will not lose any data by resetting, but it can cure some glitches.
    If this does not help, setting it up as new device would be the next step:

    Hello Kishore1022,
    It sounds like you have a new album downloaded and the tracks all have a very low volume. I recommend checking to see if Sound Check is enabled in the Music settings.

  • Portege R500 audio problem: sound volume too low

    The sound volume on my R500 is ridiculously low. Only with volume maxed out (100) and using headphones do I hear anything at all, and even then it's way too low to be useful. I can just make out the test sounds in the left and then right earphone when using the test sound found at Control Panel -> Sound -> Speakers (there are no Headphones to be selected) -> Properties -> Advanced -> Test. Unplugging the headphones I hear nothing from the speakers, due to the (very low) sounds made by the fan and HDD. Playing music (with headphones) I can just make out that sounds are being produced, but I can't even make out what is playing.
    I've tested the things mentioned in the "Satellite 5105-S901 Sound is very low (even on max volume) using supplied Toshiba driver" thread with no success (including Loudness Equalization).
    I'm running Vista Business 32bit, and have tried the driver_audio_realtek26117B.exe, driver_audio_realtek_TC00157600B.exe, and Vista_Win7_R243_x86.exe driver files, and also used the  util_mute_off_25847B.exe utility.
    Enabling mute makes the already faint sounds go completely silent, so I don't think it's a mute issue.
    Jack detection does work, I can see that in the Realtek HD Audio Manager program. Using that program's sound test (Speaker Configuration) I have to go to a completely silent room, and even then I only hear something in the right earphone. (I think; it's so darn low I could be imagining I hear it.)
    Does anyone have any ideas what I can try next? I can boot to XP or Linux if anyone has any ideas on how to get sound there, just to get started. (They're silent as well, I haven't done as extensive testing under those as under Vista.)

    Update:
    Tried increasing the volume in control panel -> Realtek HD audio manager. No success.
    I have used a bunch of different drivers, both from toshiba's website and realtek's.
    Recently did a fresh XP install on another hard drive (don't have Vista install media), tried both 5.10.0.5869 and 5.10.0.6066 drivers (5.10.0.6066 is from march 13, 2010), sound still as low no matter what I do.
    Did the really desperate thing: bought a new (used) sound module on ebay ("Toshiba Portege R500 (PPR50E-00L048EN) USB jack" on ebay.co.uk), but it has the same problem as the original one.
    I was thinking perhaps the sound module doesn't get enough power from the motherboard, but since there is some sound (although very low), the USB jack on the module works, the headphone/mic jack detection works, and the diagnostics found in the Control Panel all say that the device is working OK, I don't think it's a hardware problem.
    I'm guessing there is a problem with the drivers initializing the sound to a ridiculously low setting, and increasing the volume level to 100 makes it go up to a level equal to perhaps 2 in a regular system. That should be solved by a fresh install, but it isn't.
    Perhaps the BIOS messes up the sound? But re-flashing the BIOS doesn't help...
    Anyone got any other ideas?
    I've googled and found people having problems with low sound volume on other laptops using the ALC262 chip, but no general solution.

  • Sound volume level problems

    When I want to change sound volume I'm not abled to do that. Below the speaker symbol that appears while pushing the buttons a 'forbidden' sign appears at the same time. Can someone help me?

  • Why does sound volume turn down to zero automatically

    I just upgraded to IOS5.  I set my sound volume to high in settings, but I notice that it does not ring soon after that. When I look at the settings again, the speaker volume setting has moved completely to the left (low). Is anyone else having this problem.

    Yes, I have seen this problem.  Sometimes it happens, sometimes it does not. 

  • Satellite Pro T110 - speaker volume problem

    How do I increase the volume of the speakers in my T110?
    Ive read other forums that suggest thats just the way it is but that cant be right - its impossible to hear on max.
    My partner has a Toshiba NB300 (much smaller) but the speaker volume is much better.
    Is it a common problem with T110 buyers?
    Is there a fix PLEASE?

    Hi buddy,
    I never saw any other forums where people talk about low volume on Satellite T110 I also have this model and the sound volume is ok for this small and ultra portable notebook.
    I think you want to increase the volume when watching movies or listen music, right?
    Well, in this case I would recommend using VLC media player. In my opinion its the best freeware player and using it you can improve volume compared to Windows media player.
    Have a look on Google to find it. Its freeware tool so I dont think its a problem to find. ;)

  • Inadequate sound volume on MacBook

    I may be expecting too much from my MacBook, but I'd like to be able to enjoy the music in my iTunes library without having to sit directly in front of it. I go to Apple button>System Preferences>Sound where I set the sound level for maximum, but that doesn't help as much as I would like. Is there another way to increase the sound volume? By the way, I had no such problem with my iMac, which I'm missing more and more.

    A similar trick is in iTunes, Show Equalizer, click
    pre-amp on and move the slider to max.
    Though I would basically agree with JSwerdy's post
    above. I do not find it necessary to use the
    equalizer setting, and I find it necessary to
    sometimes turn down the volume on occasional web
    pages that play sound. I don't want high volume, low
    quality sound. If I want to listen to music for long
    periods, I use headphones or stream wirelessly to my
    stereo, and there's no lack of signal quality at all
    then. I did have the benefit of hands-on comparison
    at an Apple Store before purchasing, and the speaker
    sound volume/quality was an obvious difference
    between the MacBook and MacBook Pro. Unless there are
    significant differences among individual MacBooks....
    This is the first time that I've ever heard that there's a difference in the sound quality of a MacBook and a MacBook Pro. The salesmen said the main difference was the graphic stuff. They didn't even hint at a sound difference.

  • Sound volume keeps changing

    Hi,
    I bought my hp dm4-3055dx 2 weeks ago and I have problems with the sound ever since the beginning. I'm using the pre-installed Windows 7 64 bit OS.
    The problem with the sound is the following: The sound volume keeps changing. Sometimes it seems to me that it's oscillating. The Windows volume (in the tray) is constant though. For example, when I turn the volume of my Winamp player to 1% the volume of the sound decreases, but after some seconds it starts increasing until it hits the Windows maximum volume, then it starts oscillating a little bit. Increasing the Winamp volume doesn't change anything, cause it's already the Windows maximum. But when I turn it down again, there's again a change. But as I described before, the volume will go up slowly to the Windows maximum. I have encountered the same problem with the VLC player, so I guess it's not a software problem.
    I already downloaded the sound driver and installed it but there was no change. Any idea what that could be?
    Cheers

    Any response here?  I am having the same problem in that the sound constantly fluctuates up and down as I am trying to listen, no matter if I listen through Spotify or ITunes.  It is very frustrating and I am seeing similiar posts for many models, especially considering this was marketed as a Beats Audio laptop with superior sound performance.  I have the Pavillion dm4-3055dx.

  • Sound muting problem after missed calls

    Using Skype 4.9, but confirmed with 4.7 as well.
    Android 4.2.2 JB, standard theme.
    After a missed call, my FM radio stops working, and also I find all other sounds quieter byt more than 40-50%. No volume control app helps (tried many), the volumes don't seem changed. The FM radio apparently finds stations etc. but no sound. As if it is muted, and all other sounds seem to be affected by some more master volume no app could affect.
    This whole mess is fixed when restarting the phone, or when I make another call to Sound test service (or other contact) - just establishing a call is enough to fix the issue. This is not always a solution for variety of reasons.
    Also letting skype exit (after signout) completely fixes the issue. But this "exiting" takes hours most of the time - its VideMonitor service stays for hours after signout, sometimes days. Unacceptable.
    This is Very frustrating to the point i stopped using skype until this is fixed.
    It seems Skype doesn't restore some volumes/mute after a missed call.
    The mentioned workarounds are not always viable, especially when I'm away from Wifi range. Is there another workaround, or better, a fix, when I miss a call, skype should restore sound volumes and any muted channels (fm radio).
    Thanks.

    The very same problem on Huawei Ascend G7...
    After missed call skype turns off all the sounds in the phone including alarm.
    I did late on work today because of it...
    Why nobody from the developers don't take this seriosly and to clear up that serious issue..???

  • Sound volume

    Hi,
    I originally asked this question in the tiger discussion, but didn't receive an answer.
    Is it possible to reset the audio on my mac so that the sound volume of audio and video clips and movies is raised? I regularly encounter video with audio volume that is too low, even at its maximum, and even though I have the volume level in System Preferences set to the maximum. I find the problem in iTunes, DVDs, QT, and YouTube, etc.
    Thanks, Caoim

    With QT movies and iTunes songs you can boost the volume in the individual file's prefs. But for the system (your PB) you can not. Your only option is to buy a pair of external speakers.
