Terrible sound quality on my Satellite C50-AOG1

My speakers sound really tinny and the worst I've heard since I had a transistor radio in 1970. I went into the drivers download are but was not able to find anything to improve them. Using 8.1 doesn't help because I'm not sure where you find everything.
Any ideas?
Anyone else found a shortcoming and solved it or just has a good idea please?

Hi
Similar thread you can read here .
Problem is that many notebooks have small stereo speakers only and sound quality is unfortunately not so good.

  • 6500 Slide terrible sound quality

    Hello,
    i just replaced my SE k810 for a Nokia 6500 slide. The problem with the K810 was battery which only lasted for one day. So i thought i`d give Nokia a try. Compared to the SonyEricsson phone, however the sound quality in Nokia is terrible. When i dial a number and press the call button the phone starts buzzing in my ear and the buzzing continues throughout the call. The sound that i hear is metallic and some of the tones seem to be missing at all.
    Is this a common problem with this phone? I already returned the phone back to the service but as far as i know all they do there is updating the software, which does not fix anything. 6500 slide owners please comment on the problem.
    TY

    I agree, the sound quality, among other things make this the worst phone I have ever had. Nothing works on this stupid phone and no one wants to fix it because the say that it has been damaged by rain. Well, that is not strange when it is open in the top ( you charge the phone from the top, stupid feature). So I have a phone that I can't use...

  • Poor sound quality on my satellite s300-ez151​1

    Is there any way to improve the sound quality of the speakers?  All I seem to have are the high tones, no base tones.  It is a brand new laptop and it sucks.  It was sent as a srplacement for my old machine.  it has the Realtek High Definition Audio (With EC) and I do not know enough about computers to find the proper updates.  Can someone help?  PLEASE!!!!
    Solved!

  • Poor Sound Quality in Windows XP SP3

    Hello,
    I have installed the latest Realtek HD audio codec driver, but the internal speakers still have terrible sound quality, it seems kind of hollow/tinny. Meanwhile, the sound quality coming through headphones is fine.
    Does anyone have a solution? I've seen threads on other forums, but none have a solution, or otherwise the solution is to install the latest driver (which I don't think applies to me)
    Thanks!

    Same problem here, I have a 24" iMac. I do however also manage a (2009) 21.5" iMac, though. Which doesn't have this poor audio problem in bootcamp.
    I found the difference to be that the two have different sound hardware. The 21.5" iMac has like Cirrus Logic something or other sound and my 24" iMac has the RealTek HD sound.
    Just plug in external speakers to the headphone jack, I guess. I have not found a solution either.

  • Recent Warbly Sound Quality in iTunes -UGH! 'SUP?

    For about 6 weeks now I've been experiencing really terrible sound quality (read: like running the songs thru a flanger and taking out the midrange) from songs played in iTunes, whereas they used to sound Excellent. When I open the same files (many AAC, AIFF, Apple Lossless) in Quicktime or Realplayer they sound perfectly fine. Weird. The majority of my songs were ripped from CDs. I haven't changed my EQ settings or done anything unusual other than download the most recent Mac software updates, iTunes included. What's up?
    I've always steered clear of using Realplayer (ugh) but if Apple doesn't find a fix soon all those cool new iTunes features are going to go to waste. That'd suck big time.

    I have the same problem. I don't think it's the audio enhancer, i disabled that but it hasn't helped. Still hear static from tunes in library. =(

  • Scratchy sound quality

    I have a 30GB iPod and it has terrible sound quality. The music sounds staticky -- or as if it's being played through blown speakers. I've played it through three different sets of headphones and two home stereos, and they all sound the same -- crackly. Here's the rub: The songs that sound scratcy on my iPod also sound scratchy when played through iTunes on my laptop. And it doesn't matter what the original source was. Some soungs I've downloaded sound like this, as do songs I've burned from CDs.
    Not sure if this is related, but the sound is also fairly muffled. When I play it through my home stereo (which is fairly high-end) I have to crank up the mid-range on the EQ to hear vocals clearly.
    What the ...?
    30

    Wow! The EQ really *****, doesn't it? Turning it off made a huge difference. The sound was so bad beforehand that it wasn't even listenable.
    The crackling sound is now gone. The mid-range is still kind of dull, but at least it's all clean now.
    Thanks.

  • MacBook Pro 13" Audio Output sound quality terrible after Lion upgrade

    Hi guys,
    I have recently upgraded my 2011 MBP 13 to Lion, and ever since have had terrible audio out sound quality, i.e. it is 'grainy' and full of feedback - very unpleasant to listen to.
    Is anyone else in the same boat and does anyone have the solution to my problem?
    Thanks,
    Sam

    Sorry for the late reply, yes mine does does recover but I still think it is the same issue with different levels of severity.  This is a guess but possibly my higher spec Retina MacBook Pro can work its way through the issue where your 13" MBP can't or can't in a reasonable amount of time. 
    I have also thought that it is related to window server and was wondering if someone else would bring it up as semi-confirmation since 2 people would have to came to the same conclusion, yes I am weird you don't have to tell me.  I am thinking it is possibly related to the lower priority for background apps; it gets caught thinking every window is in the background, chokes, and does not know what to do which is why the cursor will still move since it never gets "backgrounded".  As for the caps lock, it is pretty much hardware based which is why we can have a virtual machine not read the caps lock on someimes if it is turned on when the VM is started.
    I wish Apple would have more testers so things like this would not slip through.  I see more complaints like this when there are external displays on MacBooks than single display iMacs/Minis.  Something that may not be tested enough since it requires more specific circumstances.
    Sorry, I don't know how to restart window server without the terminal.  I would have loved to test the theory since that would answer the question of what is at fault quickly.

  • I play music on my hi fi via an airport express attached to my iMac. Since installing maverick the sound quality is terrible and I get frequent distortion, which never happened before. I have reset the airport express and reconfigure my wireless settings.

    I play music on my hi fi via an airport express attached to my iMac.
    Since installing maverick the sound quality is terrible and I get frequent distortion, which never happened before.
    I have reset the airport express and reconfigure my wireless settings. I have also used Ethernet on its own but still get the same sound problems.
    I would love to turn itunes sound off as you used to be able to do, but this I believe can't be done.
    Has anyone else been having the same types of problem, and better still has anyone got the answer?

    When the AirPort Express Base Station (AX) is connected by Ethernet, you will find an option in the AirPort Utility, labeled: Enable AirTunes over Ethernet on the Music pane. Just select this option to allow streaming iTunes via the AirPort's Ethernet port. You should also be able to disable the AX's wireless so that it shouldn't interfere with the nearby TC.

  • How to improve speakers and sound quality on Satellite C850-1GL

    just bought a Toshiba C850-1GL, very happy with it, with the exception of the sound quality, any suggestions on how this can be improved before I go and buy some external speakers...?

    As far as I know you cannot do much about that. This notebook has standard stereo speakers and not high quality Harman/kardon like some other models so if you want to have good and brilliant sound you need external speakers.

  • IMovie sound quality changes after export and is terrible

    when i export my imovie the sound quality becomes bad and sounds like my speakers are blown but their not, it sounds perfectly fine in imovie but after its exported it changes to worse, anyone know how to fix this?

    Check your audio levels. and if necessary, reduce the levels so that the audio stays under the 0 DB line. If you have audio that is yellow or red, reduce the level. This video shows an example of how to do this. Click on the video All New Audio Editing."

  • IPod touch sound quality terrible

    iPod touch sound quality terrible

    Try another set of earphones to rule out the earphones as being the cause.
    - Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so. There is a little switch in the headphone jack that disconnects the speaker when the headphone jack is inserted.
    Try the following to rule out a software problem
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iPod touch: 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
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack or other hardware problem.

  • Ipod second Generation sound quality problem.

    Hello there,
    i´ve been using my nano for 1 year without any problems, with the first version (i think 1.1.3) that came with the equipment.
    The sound quality was great until i update it to the last FW. The sound quality is terrible. Very very bad.
    Please, how can i reinstall the old version of the FW?
    many thanks to anyone

    I'm having the same problem. If you find a solution please let me know. Ever since I installed the last update my nano sound quality is awful when I try to play it in my car via my iPod connector or use headphones.

  • New Ipod Touch 5g, poor sound quality?

    Hi,
    I recently got given a silver ipod touch for christmas, after having had a 5G nano ipod for a few years. i had always had no problem with sound quality with that ipod. However, I have noticed that even with my Bose headphones and on my Bose dock, certain songs heavy in bass (seems to be a lot of hip hop), such as my Jay-Z and Drake albums, the bass is very bad and fuzzy and messy. It sounds terrible. I have listened to the very same songs through my Macbook Pro through headphones and there is no problem. All my music is from itunes/amazonmp3/CDs so I don't understand whether my ipod is faulty or whether this is just how the new Ipod Touch is? If so I am returning it pronto! I need my bass!

    Try:
    - Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Power off and then back on the router
    - Reset network settings: Settings>GeneralReset>Reset Network Settings
    - iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
    - iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory settings/new iPod.

  • Extremely poor sound quality

    Sound quality on two systems has recently become terrible. It sounds like underwater or too much vibrato/reverb. Could this be related to the latest QuickTime update?
    G5, G4   Mac OS X (10.4.6)   iTunes 6.0.4

    Always a good start in this situation is to turn off the EQ using the appropriate tool in the lower right corner of the iTunes player window, and going to iTunes > Preferences > Playback and disabling Sound Enhancer.
