Just re-import it.

Is it possible to get a refund if i bought an album with extremely bad sound quality?

As asked in the title, is it possible to get a refund if i bought an album with extremely bad sound quality?
I am very unsatisfied with my latest purchase of the album "Never take ffriendship personal" by "Anberlin" ...
I can find all the songs in much better quality, even on YouTube ...
I bought two other albums by Anberlin at the same time, on which the sound quality is much much better and perfectly clear.
is it possible to get some sort of refund ???

E430 Fix bad sound quality with Win 7 + Dolby Advanced Audio

Problem: In Windows 7 x64, sound quality is tinny and sounds very badly DSPed when Dolby Advanced Audio is activated. Even setting all effects off and EQ off the sound is bad simply because Dolby is/was turned on. Going to Sound > Playback > Speakers > Properties > Enhancements, checking Disable All Enhancements and clicking Apply clears up the sound, but then the EQ won't have any effect.
Solution: If you have Win 7 x64, uninstall the Win 7 driver (h0a114ww.exe) and instead install the Windows 8 driver (h0ac10ww.exe). Note that this is NOT the Win 8.1 driver - that won't install under Win 7. The sound quality will be way better when you use Dobly EQ and effects. So far I haven't had any stability problems.
I thought my E430 had the worst sound card ever until I upgraded to Windows 8 and installed the new driver. I have Windows 7 dual booted and found the sound quality in Win 7 terrible so I played around with it and found the above solution.
Solved!

Why does my iPod have bad sound quality?

Hi!
I have an iPod Touch 8gb.
iOS 4.3.4
Jailbroken...
About 3 months ago, my headphone jack broke and was stuck in my iPod...
I got it out a week ago..
But the sound quality is really bad.
Theres too much echo, not enough bass and too much distortion and gain...

Based on other user's expereince, the headphone jack is damaged and requires replacement provided that the problem is only with headphones.

6120c with 3.83 producing bad sound quality !

hi i got a new 6120c few days back and currently i have 3.83 V firmware , i am experiencing very bad mp3 quality when ever i use supplied head set which is HS47, that sound quality is below average or may be my phone is producing just mono not sure about it ... is nokia planning to come up with any new firmware for 6120c???
can we rollback its current firmware 3.83 to the orignal and older one which i think was 3.41 ????
thanks

Hi, did you use the Music Transfer application from Nokia PC Suite to transfer your mp3 files to the phone? If yes, probably your files were converted to .aac format to decrease file size and probably they lost some quality. This happened to me before. So I just used File Manager from Nokia PC Suite to copy my mp3 files from the PC to the phone's memory card as they are, without any conversion. This procedure solved the sound quality issues for me.

Windows Xp bad sound quality after installing itunes 10.5

After installing itunes 10.5 to be able to get the ios5 update my itunes plays every file with really bad, distorted quality. I try other players even Quicktime works fine. What could be happening?

Try to download, and install the latest Realtek HD Audio driver.
Here is the download link:
http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/
Select the second options (High Definition Audio Codecs (Software))
And when you install this, i think everything will be good.

IPhones 3GS dead pixel and bad sound quality

As i was going through some photos i notice a small white dot then looking closer to the screen i recently notice about 4 dead pixels and also when playing music through headphones the sound quality is not clear. I tested my iphone and a ipod touch with the same song and the results were the ipod touch had better sound than my phone. Can apple fix this?? Thanks

As for dead pixels, Apple considers a small number as unavoidable with LCD displays and covers only a "high number" under the warranty. Apple would have to inspect the phone and determine if it's a covered defect. Make an appointment with an Apple Store Genius Bar.

Camera - bad sound quality - Iphone 4

I've no idea what's wrong with my Iphone 4 (iOS6, no jailbreak etc.) . When I used IOS 4, everything was fine but after update ios 5, and now ios 6....my sound in movies (recorded on iphone) is very weak. I've checked recording using Voice Recorder - microphone in my device is correct - sound is very clear with a high quality so the problem is no with iphone hardware! What should I do to repair that problem in camera mode?! It sounds noisy and blur. Help:/
[sorry for my english;]

I have the same issue. The "crackling" gets so bad that I cannot hear anyting else. This issue comes and goes, if i wait a few minutes usually the crackling will go away. I don't think its an "area" issue, since it happens all over town. Could it be an AT@T issue? They don't know......"we will look into it"
I have restarted my Iphone several times.....thinking about restoring to factory settings and starting over again with upgrades.....

Live!cam Voice bad sound quality

I bought a live cam voice two days ago and have had to get it exchanged already due to the appalling sound and picture quality. The original cam would not allow over 640x480 resolution for video, the picture was dark and muddy, the exposure control did not work at all and the sound was dreadful. The exchange cam works perfectly ie 280x960 resolution, picture bright and clear, exposure works fine however the sound is no better. I have to use my headset/microphone for anybody to hear me on skype and if I use it for video capture the sound is distant, dull and overlaid by a constant succession of clicks and pops.
This is what people report hearing when I talk to them online. The camera is sold as having "unrivalled audio and video fidelity".Video yes (after exchange) audio definately not. I hope I will not have to get the second cam exchanged as if I do I will not be walking out with a Creative product. I have thoroughly checked my settings and carefully read the instructions and forum regarding this and have found no resolve. Anybody out there with the same issue?

I bought the Live! Cam Voice a few days ago and have been suffering from sound problems too when recording. The sound distortion is almost electrical/mechanical in nature but disappears when the video auto-balances and becomes brighter ?!?! IT also disappeared when connected via a USB . hub, although the system then griped that the port wasn't sufficiently fast.
I would consider swapping my main USB cable for the gold plated variety, to ensure no signals are encroaching on the port, but this may be overkill.
These findings would suggest a software issue rather than hardware.
Note. Do not install the voice driver update from Aug 2006, seems to make things noticeably worse!

Bad sound quality (less surround) with Flash players past the 10.3 version

Some months ago I tested one of the 11.X versions and had the same problem. Aaaand now I tested the latest 11.8 version - still the same problem.
I have PERFECT audio with 10.3 and HTML5. Sounds exactly as it should.
But with a later version of the Flash player, there's somehow "less" surround to the audio on videos and the volume is louder. This has nothing to do with sound stutter or any of that sort. It's all about the fact that the quality is just plain worse. It's like the sound is... um... Mono? When it should be stereo/surround. Again, it's perfect with 10.3 and HTML5.
Sooo... any ideas? I tested the latest version again after all those months because I kinda expected this problem to be gone. But no, it's still there.
I use Firefox by the way.
Edit: Perhaps it's after 11.2 version that this problem occurs. Figured it might be after reading another thread about something similar. Not sure though.

Bad sound quality streaming audio via Airport Express

I am streaming audio from iPhone to Apple Airport Express (Airplay). Via optical cable the signal goes to Cambridge DacMagic and then to Stereo Amplifier. Sound is not good, there's some kind of 'chattering'.
When using AirFoil instead of Airplay sound is much better, but then gaps appear from time to time.
Please tell me, what can be the reason for it? And how to solve?
Thanks in advance.

Mr. Tessarex,
I use the Airport Exreme as router and Airport Express (2011, direct plug-in model)
Some facts I learned from the Airport-app on my iPhone:
Wireless clients from Airport Extreme:
iPhone 150Mb/s (802.11 a/n) connection: excellent
Acer laptop 144Mb/s (802.11 b/g/n) connection: excellent
The Airport Express:
240Mb/s (802.11 a/n) connection: good
I bought the song "Love Me Like You Do" (Ellie Goulding) via iTunes.
As you adviced me I tried to play it via iTunes, and streamed it from iPhone to Airport Express.
Especially listening to the bombastic part of the song (from 3:14). Sound was tolerable.
Playing the song from iPhone via Spotify: sound is awfull, totally overloaded.
Playing the song from laptop via Spotify (Airfoil): sound is good.
Playing the song from laptop via iTunes (Airplay): sound is good.
The song never plays 'Excellent' in any way. I Think the song was recorded 'over the top'.
Even when you listen to it via headphone, it sounds very messy, "on the edge...".
I am happy that most songs sound good. So far playing Spotify via laptop and Airfoil gives the best results.
According to the figures from the Airport-app, it seems I will never get optimal bitrate with my current system.
As amplifier I use the Luxman L505u, usually connected tot Airport Express via Cambridge Dacmagic,
but during testing via normal analog cable (without Dacmagic). So far I think the Dagmagic is not the problem.
What do you think, after reading my story?
Thanks in advance
Peter

[SOLVED] Bad Sound Quality, Audacity, playback , via browser

System Info:
Linux ArchBoxMTD 3.10.7-1-ARCH
AlsaMixeer v1.0.27.2
Pulseaudio 4.0
Audacity 2.0.3 (official package from Arch)
But, when I record with Audacity, playback (before exporting), is shoddy. I noticed my dB levels lower than normal when monitoring my audio/recording in Audacity. Before I remember I had to even LOWER the default dB level of recording in pavucontrol/sound center. I've done this many times on Arch, and I have had no new hardware. I have tried changing the output/input device on the main screen in Audacity several times to no effect. I never had to before. Now, on Arch I have always had to set the inital dB recording level via sound prefs, not via Audacity as the "Input Volume" slider on Audacity was always grayed out, but never an issue before.
If you need additional information, please let me know.
Thank you

first of all, if your pulseaudio setup is working for you there's no reason to break it really..
historically, the reason for using sound servers like pulseaudio over alsa, is that some sound cards don't support hardware mixing with alsa, which means you coudn't play audio from eg. audacious and youtube at the same time. Nowadays alsa has software mixing support (via dmix plugin if I'm not mistaken) so Its not usually an issue any more.
I have very limited experience with pulseaudio, and can't be sure of the differences. Generally I believe alsa can do most of the stuff pulseaudio can, but if you've ever looked at configuring alsa, you might know it could be a real pita especially in more advanced setups. From my limited experience with pulseaudio, I think it could be easier to set up on some cases and often just works out of the box. I could also have some audio over network capabilities that alsa might lack, but that again is just my assumption.
also I'm pretty sure pulseaudio is required for some desktop environments like gnome.
just use whatever method works for you
I remember having that EXACT issue back in ~04-06. That was the most annoying thing, and the reason why I started to use pulse back then. Oh I know the pitfalls of alsa, which is why I understand pulse co-existing on Arch's cinnamon package setup. Cool, well thanks for the advice!

Bad Sound quanlity

Does the Satellite L855 series have bad sound quality or this is just me compairing it to the HP Pavilion DV6?

IMO, the decision to upgrade your existing stereo system should not be determined by this unless the only time you use your stereo system is to play iTunes music wirelessly.
When playing music wirelessly, is your ibook a good distance from the AE Base Station and/or do you have a strong signal from the Base Station?
Since they aren't very expensive, you might try purchasing a different cable - preferably a Monster cable.
I'm not sure where else the problem lies.

Sound quality decline in calls

After upgrading to 3.0 (in Italy, Vodafone) I'm experiencing a dramatic decline in sound quality during calls. While the signal icon is always full, the sound is "metal" and intermittent and my callers report very bad sound quality and difficult to understand words.
Has somebody the same experience?
Stefano

I have same issue. My new iPhone 3G S (US/ATT) sound quality on phone call is very poor. Lots of hissing noise, sometimes even it feels as though there is a small waterfall in the background. Deeply disappointed with this issue right now and in Iphone 3G s !

Odd sound quality

Over the last few weeks, I've been noticing the sound quality in itunes has gotten strange. On certain songs it's almost like the sound mix of the song has changed. Like there are certain channels or instruments dropping out. It sounds like if you just took an entire guitar track out of a song. Very strange. I've looked through the forums dealing with sound quality and haven't really noticed anyone having a similar problem, however, I have tried some of the solutions offered to other sound problems.
I have turned off the sound enhancer as well as the sound check. I have turned the computer volume up and turned the itunes volume down. I have also deleted the plist eq file.
When I play these certain songs through quicktime, they sound fine, which makes me sure it is something having to do with itunes.
Any thoughts? Thanks in advance!

ok, here's the latest. the "bad sound" sems to be getting worse as it is affecting more and more songs. the interesting thing i've found is that if i plug some headphones into the computer, the songs sound fine. could it be my speakers? (original usb soundsticks and isub). but then why would the songs sound fine through quicktime?
to recap:
bad sound quality on certain songs (almost like channels are dropping out) in itunes.
the same songs sound fine when played through quicktime.
the same songs sound fine when played through itunes and headphones.
anybody? any thoughts or possible solutions? it bothers me so much that i am considering doing a clean re-install and starting over.
