Sounds like talking in a tunnel

We have just rolled out Lync Enterprise - and about 50 Polycom VVX 500 and 400 series phones. All the Polycom phones when using the headset sound like you are talking in a tunnel, even outside calls. This is how most people explain it. We also have a couple
of HP and Snom phones and they seem ok. Is there some type of audio setting I can change? Make more treble or something? When testing I thought maybe this was the difference between Digital and Analog, but now I am not sure. Any suggestions would be great.
Thanks,
Baze

Hi,
Please try to reset Polycom VVX 500 and 400 series phones and then configure again to test the issue.
Here is the link to reset the device:

If the issue persists, please update to the latest version of firmware for Polycom VVX 500 and 400 series phones and then test again.
Best Regards,

HT4859 when iam talking on my iphone 5 sounds like talking under water can u help

when iam talking on my iphone 5 sounds like talking under water can u help sometime cant here other person

I would have your carrier check out the iPhone. But I have had this issue with other cell phones and beleive it to be related to how good of a connection your have to the cell tower.
This forum is for iCloud questions, you may have better luck getting a better answer by posting to the iPhone section here.

When using Apple earphones, the phone sounds like I'm in a tunnel.

I just got a new iPhone 4 and when I use the Apple earphones while talking on the phone, it sounds like I'm in a tunnel. This never happened with my 3GS. This doesn't happen when I am listening to music. Then it sounds fine. Any ideas on what is causing this?

Earbuds Sound Like You're in a Tunnel?

I have several employees who bought iphones and the earbuds are unusable especially for important phone calls. You can hear the other person alright but they say you sound like you're in a windy tunnel or on a motor cycle when you're in a silent room!
Does anybody else have this issue?
Is this enough for an earbud replacement or are they all bad?
Normal calls are average, speakerphone calls are poor and earbud calls are horrible.

Yes, I had this exact issue. Earbuds were UNUSABLE for calls - everyone says that you are in a "windy tunnel" like you said, and they can not hear anything.
I took the phone in and was given new earbuds -- Problem fixed. Still not the best sounding conversation according to others I am talking too, but definitely usable, and people can actually hear me.
Hope this helps.

When using FaceTime, my iMac makes noises. It dings like I am receiving an email and sometimes sounds like a busy signal, but this is while I am talking to someone. Any suggestions?

Dear Mr. Toad (my all-time favorite ride at Disneyland ;-) ..
Thanks so much for your detailed reply.. my netbook is in the bedroom, turned off.. I (so far) only use it in the evening, in the bedroom.. I've saved your response, and will try your suggestions, and let you know if they solve the problem I described. I really appreciate you taking the time to post such a detailed reply..
I can't answer your Thunderbird "configuration" questions, because I'm in the living room, using the crap Vista laptop, on which I plan to install Thunderbird, and then take Windoze Mail out in the street and drive over it a few times.. I'll get back to you one way or the other, and let you know if your instructions solved the problem, or not..
I don't understand why Thunderbird "out of the box", so to speak, simply doesn't forward HTML emails with embedded graphics, (like Outlook Excess, and Winblows Mail do).. without having to go through those steps. I personally HATE HTML email, but over the years, it's become more and more prevelant.. so it's a problem I must fix..
Thanks again..

My internal speakers sound like chipmunks talking on them when i play anything on the computer

my internal speakers sound like chipmunks talking on them when i play anything on the computer. what can i do to correct this problem?

can hear headphones and external speaker yes. Internal speakers dont work at all even when external speaker disconnected.

I was playing Angry Birds and had to hit the pause button to listen to something. When I hit the pause/play button again to resume, I heard talking that sounded like a talk-radio program and I couldn't turn it off, even when I turned off my iPad.

Does anyone know what would cause me to start hearing a talk program of some type after hitting the play button after it had been on pause. Hitting the pause button shuts off the talking, but hitting the play button starts it up again. The strange thing is that the talking continues even after I turn off my iPad. The talk program was about silly or trendy news items, not regular news. It sounds like it could be a talk-radio program, but there were no call letters or information on where it was coming from or who was talking. The person doing all the talking is a male and sounds like he could be in his 20's. The only way I could turn it off was to hit the pause button and then turn off my iPad. I just got my iPad last week and had not had any problems with it until this happened. At the time this happened I was playing a version of Angry Birds that kept being interrupted by t-mobile commercials from time to time, which I had never experienced before. either.

Well, shut my mouth! There was a similar question over to the right about a 6th generation nano repeating over and over again -- I read the answer to that one, followed the instructions, and holy crap, it's back to normal.
Is there a name for this when you end up replying to your own aggravating question? That's what I did. Now I can go out and listen. It's only 91 degrees. Heaven. Thanks, Apple.

For the past month, I've had an echo of my voice while I'm talking on my phone. It's very annoying and sounds like multiple people are speaking at the same time and it's only me. Anyone know what's wrong?

It sounds like my iPod is in a tunnel, any ideas how to fix this?

My ipod touch sound has suddenly gone wonky. It echoes a bit like the sound is coming through a tunnel. I have no idea with to do, please help!

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

How do I adjust sound quality in itunes - sounds like the chipmonks in a tunnel

I'm trying to listen to songs I purchased on itunes from my iPad/iPhone on my everyday PC - Compaq. Never had a problem before! Now all my music sounds like it's in a tunnel and Alvin of the Chipmonks is the lead singer in Alice in Chains !! HELP I'VE TRIED EVERYTHING !! Thank you

You seem to be asking two separate questions here.
1) Interfaces
Interfaces start at around $30 and go into the thousands depoending on what you want to do, You need to define your needs first, then your budget
Some example interfaces:
http://www.thehangtime.com/gb/gbfaq2.html#interfaces
2) How do I Mix and Master
You'll need to read some books if you have no idea how to mix and/or Master.
Mixing is making everythnig sound good together, and I have no idea how I could explain that other than to say "you change the levels of each track and add effects as desired, until you get thesound you want.
Mastering is even harder to define, you'll really need to do some research (even online. There is PLENTY of info on the web).

Nano sounds terrible, music sounds like it's in a tunnel!

I loaded my entire I-Tunes library on my new nano, but the music sounds like it is in a tunnel. I have tried 4 different pairs of headphones and completely wiped it out and RE-loaded the library again, with the same results. I tried to change the EQ option, but nothing has helped. Any suggestions or should I go back to the Apple store to get a new one?

had the same problem...seems alot of people are...the headphones may appear to be all the way in but they aren't. i shoved them in and they work fine now

Since I updated to IOS 8.1 yesterday my sound is garbled and sounds like it's in a tunnel. What can I do?

That's because there is no supported way to downgrade the iOS. Further, discussion of such is prohibited here, by this forum's terms of use.
You'll have to go elsewhere if you want to go down this route.

Mic is too sensitive, calls constantly cut out. People tell me y loud, and it sounds like I'm in a tunnel. Any background noise, and call is completely cutting out. This occurs all the time, but more so using earphones with in cord mic.

I have iphone5 ios6 and the Mic is too sensitive, and calls constantly cut in and out. People tell me there is loud background noise and it sounds like I'm in a wind tunnel. Any background noise, and call completely cuts in and out and sounds as if call is dropping. This occurs all the time, but more noticeable while using earphones with in cord mic. I never had this problem with my old iphone4. Has anyone experienced this, and is there a setting that can correct this problem?

Same problem for me. So bad in fact that I can't really use my headphones for calls. I have tried it with several sets of headphones. My primary are the Bang and Olufsen headphones which were great with the previous iphone 4 and 3.
Apple please address this issue.
