Speaker/sound advice

A kinda off topic question but hopefully someone can help:
I want some advice on a sound setup for my home, i want surround sound in my livingroom with wireless speakers for use this with my tv, PC, Hi-fi and maybe other appliances.
Also i would like to be able to (if not straight away) roll this setup to other speakers in other rooms of the house and be able to control which appliances/speakers are in use.
I wasnt sure where to start with this, but figured music junkies who use the apple forum might be a good source of knowledge! if you think im asking in the wrong place then a link to a more suitable place would be helpfull
as you can likely guess im on a kinda budget, so the cheaper the better!

Hello peterrayner,
It sounds like after updating to iOS 7 your earpiece speaker is not working correctly and you must use the speaker.
I would recommend a few things here.
First close all the apps that are running on the device.
iOS: Force an app to close
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
Double-click the Home button.
Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
Swipe the app up to close it.
When you have done that restart the phone:
iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
If the issue persists, I would next backup your device to iTunes, and restore it:

  • HT4623 My iPad 3 has lost the speaker sound after updating to iOS 6.1, headphones are working fine

    My iPad 3 has lost the speaker sound after updating to iOS 6.1, headphones are working fine. Please help me out, done all the troubleshooting like restarting, side switcing, cleeaning the headphone jack etc.,

    Hi I also have this problem. Sound was only working on the headphones and also on the volume slider in the settings app. Everywhere else I get no sound and no volume slider. Now the headphones don't work either.
    (I'm using an ipad 2 iOS 6.1.2) 
    And NO it's not muted. I've reset all settings and restarted the iPad. Been searching forums for a couple days. Some say its a dirty docking port problem, others suggest a Skype or other app update that could be the problem.
    No volume control icon appears when I press the volume control buttons. Only says sound effects, if it says anything at all. Most often there is NO volume icon. YouTube, video, music, and other game apps, no sound.

  • VFL Speaker sound from both the front speakers while FR sound is not coming out at all.

    I have a creative gigaworks s750 connected to a xtreme gamer sound card. The system was working absolutely fine but now it has started behaving very strangely; system is playing back Front Left Speaker sound from both the front speakers while Front Right sound is not coming out at all. If i click the front right speaker in audio console speaker setup wizard, no sound comes. However when i click the front left speaker, sound comes out of both speakers. I counter checked it with playing 5.1 dts movie and muting all the speakers except the front left one from ac3 filter, sound came out of both the front speakers. However when i muted all the channel except the front right, no sound was coming out of front right speaker.

    Just want to add another relieved reader of this thread.  I had lost the sound to my speakers even though I had sound to headphones. I was convinced it was a damaged headphone jack because I had pushed the headphone plug in harder the last evening when my wife complained that she could still hear the speakers while I listened with the headphones.  The next morning--no speaker sound.
    I spent a few hours searching the web to see how to disassemble a satellite A505 and get to the jack.  But I wasn't even sure I could get a proper replacement jack that fit, and I was concerned that small damage, say to the ribbon connectors could render the computer useless--a large price to pay for just missing audio.  
    Fortunately, I stumbled onto this thread and I recalled I had put the unit to sleep the night before--something I don't usually do, but I didn't want all the Chrome web sites to have to reload so I just put it to sleep.
    When I put it to sleep again and fired it up--Sound!  I am so glad to find this solution so I just want to let people know it remains a viable option.

  • Since I have updated to 10.7.4 my Bose Sounlink Bluetooth speaker sound very low

    Since I have updated to 10.7.4 my Bose Sounlink Bluetooth speakes sounds very low.. OK with iPhone  and iPad

    This happened to me exactly! What I did was I went into Audio MIDI and clicked on Bose Soundlink tab. You'll see 3 bars; master, 1 & 2. Max out all the bars and that should fix the problem. Hope that works for you.

  • Wireless speaker sound quality

    I've got a macbook air late 2010. Recently i've bought the bose soundlink mobile speaker to listen music around my home. White the speaker sounds good with other device (a pc with window 7 for example) when the device is connected with the Air the sound is perfect for a limited time (about 30 minutes) so it began to be a lot of noise a full of craks. I then stop itunes a then again play and the sound turn perfect. I've found somewhere that i need to set a special terminal command to increase a parameter. I've done it but the issue remain. Is there any solution for this issue? thank you very much for any help

    You may want to check to see if your laptop has bluetooth and get yourself some bluetooth speakers.
    But I don't think any that I am aware of offer what you want for 2 and 3. But the jawbone jambox has great sound.
    I like things that go beep

  • No Front Left , Right or Centre speaker sound

    SB:0240 Audigy 2 platinum?CAmbridge soundworks DTT2200 5. speakers
    Have tried everything I know:-
    Checked FAQ & made sure of CMSS etc. Uninstalled drivers & re-installed latest driver. Checked & re-checked speaker connections.
    Board passes all diagnostic tests but on speaker test I only get sound from rear right & rear left speakers.
    I only get sound from rear speakers at any time which means I lose out on the dialogue from some video.
    Can anybody help please?

  • G580 - No speaker sound

    Hi everyone!
    i have just bought my laptop 2 days ago...and there are problems yet :-/ There are no speaker sound. First time there was sound on speaker, but i connected a headphone to it. It sill worked, but after i disconnected it, there was no more speaker sound, just on the headphone. I tried to install the lastest audio driver, but it did not help. I use win 7 64 bit. The laptop is G580, model: 20150.
    Please help me!
    Thank you in advance!

    hi atilenovo,
    On your posted video Your system is utilizing a Microsoft default/inbox driver, since it says on you volume mixer "(High definition Audio"
    If a driver is properly Communicating with Windows It should list the Audio source you are getting from, like on these photos
    REALTEK http://www.reviversoft.com/blog/wp-content/uploads​/2012/04/Volume_Mixer_-_Speakers_Realtek_High_Defi​...
    Intel Audio
    http://blog.nirsoft.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/02​/volume_mixer_win7.png
    A driver is needed in order to fix that
    On lenovo driver download says that G580 can be shipped with either REALTEK audio or CONEXANT Audio
    we need to identify your Audio device then
    Here's how
     http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/96442-device-​manager-finding-unknown-devices.html
    that works with Audio devices as well.
    If you were able to identify your Audio Device
    download the right Driver here
    Best Regards

  • T6060 center speaker sounding low when connected to Philips DVP3046

    Hi, I've Philips DVP 3046 connected with Creative Inspire T6060. I've turned on multichannel output in the player and connected properly with RCA jack too.. The problem is that my center speaker sounds very low and i cannot hear voices properly. The other satellite speakers are sounding good. Please help. Thanks,Firvin

    there was a real faulty center speaker, they've aknowledged the problem and they changed the whole system with a brand new one, which works pretty good. SOme things i have noticed comparing the two packages. I am afraid that the first set that i got was some sort of an RMA product that had been fixed, because although the seals were intact, and the inner boxes seemed new, but the small plastic bags that contained the speakers were somehow damaged and the speakers were not that well packed as this new set that i got a few days ago. The thing that i noticed, unfortunately is that i have now the same problem as SMSMASTERS reported, the fluctuation of the volume. It is perceptible, but after a little bit of fine listening. It's definitely there... I frankly am dissapointed in Creative for not being able to make a good solid product. And how could they market a product that, as you can see on this forum, has so many problems and bugs that need to be fixed? I would advise all those who want to buy new products and recently marketed products from creative to wait a little bit more and not haste into it...i think the best speaker set that will be marketed under the name of t6060 would be somewhere in spring or summer of this year, probably the revision B or C series, cause this one really sucks. The speakers are alright, and they sound pretty clear and accurate, and it's probably a problem with the remote, as other people reported on the forum, but it's simply rude and disconsiderate to buyers and especially to Creative fans to release a product with so many bugs that need to be fixed. It's a shame really, and a huge dissapointment. I wonder how you all feel, all of you who posted on this forum about bugs related to your hardware...

  • My right speaker sounds like blown only at the startup sound

    I was recently cleaning up my macbook pro 15inch Intel Core 2 duo 2,4 Model macbookPro 5,1 and used onyx. After onyx finished its work it restarted the macbook and the right speaker sounded like blown. I played some music but the speaker was playing clear. I formatted the macbook and installed the same OS x but still the blown sound on startup remained. I upgraded to mountain lion but still the speakers sounds like blown only when computer starts up. I have cleanded the PRAM, PMU, fixed disk permissions but still is not going away. I am pretty sure is a problem of the software or something that onyx did to the system but have no idea what it is. anyone has an idea or something?

  • No speaker sound from iPad

    Does anyone know a fix for speaker sound lost with apps, headset works fine, as does music?

    If you lost sounds for keyboard clicks, games or other apps, email notifications and other notifications, system sounds may have been muted.
    System sounds can be muted and controlled two different ways. The screen lock rotation can be controlled in the same manner as well.
    Settings>General>Use Side Switch to: Mute System sounds. If this option is selected, the switch on the side of the iPad above the volume rocker will mute system sounds.
    If you choose Lock Screen Rotation, then the switch locks the screen. If the screen is locked, you will see a lock icon in the upper right corner next to the battery indicator gauge.
    If you have the side switch set to lock screen rotation then the system sound control is in the control center. Swipe up from the bottom of the screen to get to control center . Tap on the bell icon and system sounds will return.
    If you have the side switch set to mute system sounds, then the screen lock can be accessed in the same manner as described above.
    This support article from Apple explains how the side switch works.

  • Internal Speaker sound like DISTORTED

    Hi All,
    My MBP 15" 2008 started to giving me problem. This time - Internal Speaker sound like DISTORTED! No matter what genre of music, what software i play from even iTune, it just distorted. Though, the volume cut down to 50%, still can heard that distorted sound. I don't know what's the issue suppose to name as ~ distorted? Crackle? ...
    I've try to reset PRAM & SMC ,with no luck. Software updated and restart too, No Luck.
    Can you help me? Thanks!!

    Not a usual complaint.  Is it just one speaker or both?  If the former, it would probably be a hardware issue and may have to be replaced.  If the latter, considering what you have tried already, I would suggest a OS reinstall (this is just a guess on my part).  Consider an appointment at an Apple store genius bar.  It is free and they may have a definitive answer for you.
    Ciao.
