Very low audio quality after amber update

After installing amber update audio quality and volume has dropped significantly! Volume through speakers is alot lower, and when plugged into headphones audio lacks quality and depth. There is barely any bass and volume is very low, sounds like listening to a clock radio very disappointing, as audio quality on my 920 was very very good the best of any phone so far before amber update!

i haven't noticed that with my 920. have you tried performing a soft reset and also check that you are up to date with all the latest Nokia system app updates from the Store?

IDT High Definition Audio CODEC v. 6.10.6395.0 Upon installation I have very low audio output

IDT High Definition Audio CODEC v. 6.10.6395.0. 5/21/ 2012
Upon installation I have very low audio output! Screen Shot Screen Shot 2
I have tried:
un-installing and reinstalling the drivers.
Installed the original drivers via HP's website sp53222 for my particular model. HP Pavilion HPE h8-1070t
Any suggestions? would be greatly appreciated. It would appear IDT who I also emailed and they never responded is responsible for a codec pack that is not fully functional with this motherboard.

Did you access the Catalyst Control Center in programs and look at the latest updates for your graphics card and make sure you didn't download the audio drivers they self install and are checked automatically each time you attempt an update for the card.
Did you right click on the speaker in the system tray and go into recodring devices make sure everything is setup propper there sometimes they too can change.
I'm familiar with cakewalk but never used it on Win7 its been many years since I played around with that. If you are using the onboard audio card and it has worked before and not now if I were in your situtation I would attempt to reisntall the dirvers via device manager they do sometimes become corrupt especially if you picked up any malware that was removed by your antivirus software due to the drivers and malware both reside inwindows\system32.
After the reisntall of the drivers if the issue is not resolved I would upgrade the audio card with a PCIe x1 component such as:
Creative Labs SB1040 PCI Express Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio Sound Card
http://www.amazon.com/Creative-Labs-SB1040-Express-Blaster/dp/B000W7PNZI/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1357...
After I paid for a real soundcard with Recording: 24-bit/96kHz and Sound Output Mode - 7.1 and bypassed my onboard audiocard I never had any issues again. My onbaord worked too in the begining for certain things than stopped mysteryously and the reinstallation became ineffective after a while so I decided the money for the tower was invested mainly in the CPU i7 the RAM and HDD.
*** Note if you did install the audio drivers for the graphics card you will have to change the onboard audio in the BIOS from automattic to enabled. Otherwise you will have no sound at all. So never take the audio drivers for the graphics card unless you need them for DVR recording or something. The PCIe audio cards are never effected by this however only the onboard audio. Another reason onboard is a cheap way to go and HP bundles it as cheap as it can my friend.
Good Luck again!

Very poor video quality after transcoding in Adobe Encore CS5.1

MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR!
I have very poor video quality after transcoding the video file (MPEG) in Adobe Encore CS5.1. Below you see my used settings in my filmproject.
The problem exists after transcoding in Adobe Encore CS5.1. I checked all steps and found out that there is no problem until transcoding. My exported file in MPEG has very good video and audio quality.
Facts:
1. Camcorder: Panasonic AG-AC160AEJ
Operating System : Windows 7, 64 Bit, Ultimate edition
Source files: MTS files
Recording settings (clip settings):
Type: MPEG Movie
Image Size: 1920 x 1080
Frame Rate: 25,00
Source Audio Format: 48000 Hz - compressed - Stereo
Project Audio Format: 48000 Hz - 32 bit floating point - Stereo
Pixel Aspect Ratio: 1,0
2. Sequence settings in Premiere Pro
Sequence was created from Clip directly with settings above.
3. Exporting settings in Adobe Premiere Pro:
Match sequence settings was activated. Now other changes were set.
4. Exported File:
Video
Image Size: 1920 x 1080
Data Transfer Rate: 25920 kBit / s
Frame rate: 25
Audio:
Bit rate: 384 kBit / s
Channels: 2 (stereo)
Frequence: 48 kHz
5. Transcoding settings in Adobe Encore:
I used different transcoding settings such as automatic DVD Transcoding, CBR and VBR.I also set “use maximum render quality”. But all results were always the same: very poor quality.
Why does the encore transcoding cause such bad video quality?
How can I solve this problem?
Please help me soon.
Best regards.

Hi Ann,
1) I did not only „Automatic (based on source)“ options in my tests, but also many other customized options.
The results are very poor. I have done a new test with the following settings. The result is also poor:
Download link: http://www.klavierlehrer-bayern.de/download/test_mpeg2dvd_1.m2v
Export Settings:
Format: MPEG2-DVD
Preset: Custom
Codec: MainConcept MPEG Video, Quality: 5
Frame Rate: 25 fps

Render at Maximum Rate: [active]
Bitrate Encoding: VBR, 2 pass
Minimum Bitrate (Mbps): 5
Target Bitrate (Mbps): 9
Maximum Bitrate (Mbps): 9
GOP Settings
M Frames: 4
N Frames: 12
Use Maximum Render Quality: [active]
Multiplexer: None
2) Why shouldn’t I use the “Match Sequence Settings” in exporting? Because of the big output file size?
I used it and the results are very good as I expected:
Download link: http://www.klavierlehrer-bayern.de/download/test_MatchSequenceSettings.mpeg
Export Settings
Match Sequence Settings [selected]
1920 x 1080, 25 fps, Upper, Quality 50
User Maximum Render Quality: [active]
3) I tried also Dynamic Link in PremierePro (to Encore).
The results are also poor.
4) I will test also LagarithLoslessCodec and frameserving +DGMPGDec. But the video is vertical long drawn-ot.
I think I did not use it correctly.

Lower graphics quality after updating 2.2.1.

Is it just me, or any body else has notice that some of the buttons and transparencies on the iPhone are lower in quality than the early 2.2. version of the firmware? I just update to 2.2.1 yesterday but ever since I've notice this, for example, *look closely on the keyboard of the phone app, check the green button to place the call, it looks blur!* I don't remember if this looks the same on the previous 2.2. version, but I don't remember notice it before. Is like if they use a lower render bitmap here.
Am I becoming very demanding with the graphics or just been paranoid?
By the way, have no trouble with battery or dropped calls. Everything seems to work fine, except for the lack of quality in some graphics and some minor bug when I wake the phone, the click sound does not sound louder all the times, sometimes it sound very low.

I hope I'm just been paranoid, I'll hate to see the quality of the graphics on the iPhone dropped, because the interface is just so beautiful and well care in every detail. And well after all, Apple has always been in the market of graphics ever since they came up with the first graphic interface for the Mac back in 1984. I'll always think that mac os graphics look better that other OS, and now the iPhone looks like nothing before, so, that's what I'm been so demanding on the graphic quality issue. Right now, my iPhone is what keeps me close to Apple Computer, because right now, I'm stuck with a windows pc computer for the moment, and the iPhone is my Mac right now, so I don't want to lose high quality graphics, imagine how will you feel, if all of the sudden your mac os X desktop looks like Windows desktop? That's a nightmare! Right?

HP Slate 21 audio issue after KitKat update and reset

I have upgraded my HP Slate 21 from JB to KK. Now the sound quality is very bad!
I came directly from xxx.11 kernel and made factory reset but didn't get a good result. Please how can I fix this tremendous issue?

Hey @PauloTxR ,
Welcome to the HP forums.
I understand you're experiencing issues with sound quality on your Slate 21 PC.
Please review the following thread: HP Slate 21 Kit Kat OTA Update Fix for Audio Quality and LAN Connectivity.
This fix will resolve audio issues of a software nature resulting in the KitKat update. If your issue persists after applying the specific update mentioned in this thread and have done a factory reset, the issue is likely hardware related and not the result of the KitKat update.
If you have done the above and continue to have problems please call our technical support at 800-474-6836. If you live outside the US/Canada Region, please click the following link to get the support number for your region: Phone Assist Worldwide.

Laser Jet 100 Color MFP M175nw "Very low" message even after changing cartridge

Hello, Windows 7, 64 bit. Connection: USB. After a "supply very low" message for the black cartridge, I changed it to a completely new one (HP original toner with the hologram), but I still got a "very low" message and the print quality remained faint. Nothing worked: I tried the 3 solutions posted by Shirlzz1 to another user that had exactly the same problem (Alan_Gilmore), i.e. 1) taking out and reseating cartridges, 2) hard reset, and 3) taking cartridges out and hard reset, then reseating cartridges. I also tried a cleaning and a print quality report. All looked fine, but still "very low" message and faint print quality. The only thing that worked was changing the cartridge a second time to a completely different (new) one -- now everything's fine. So I'm guessing the first replacement cartridge I used is defective. However, is there anything else I can try with the apparently defective cartridge? They do cost a pretty penny, especially here in Denmark. Thanks for taking the time to look at this.

Hi,
Please check for these settings
setup menu> system setup>supply settings
Under this you have a option
Black Cartridge
very low settings>stop/Prompt/Continue, select continue
low threshold> on/off
same for color too
Hope this helps

Problem with my Lumia 928... started after Amber update.

First, I to state that I love my Lumia 928 and the Windows Phone 8 OS. Second, I've been a Third-Party Microsoft developer for over 14 years and just started developing for Windows 8 and Windows Phone 8. So, I'm not a normal consumer but one that will try everything in my toolbox before asking for help or even writing posts like this.
History:
As of October 6, 2013, Verizon is sending me a new phone (not guaranteed to be new. ) to see if that fixes the issue
Used for work and personal emails so I can't just go and do a "hard" reset without have extreme headaches.Last resort before I get my "new" phone, I've broken down and started doing a "hard" reset (actually this is my second time).
No damage to the phone (Verizon employee has confirmed these, hence the new replacement)
No cracked screen
No frame cracked
No water damage
Shortly after the Amber update, I started having problems. In order of oldest issue first.
Lock upsRandom apps just freeze. No rhyme or reason. No pattern. Just all over the board.
No touch responseSide buttons work but that does be no good when I can't select anything on the screen. Solution, "soft" reset and things are good... for a while.
Phone call speakerStarted losing phone calls. Thought it was a signal issue until I noticed that the call were not actually dropped. Speaker just started cutting in and out (completely) and sometimes it would just dim to almost nothing and then come back.
Microsoft account
This is new as of October 5, 2013
October 4, 2013, nothing was wrong. Then the next day, my Live account associated with my phone stopped working. Keeps saying "Not up to-date". Had to create another account to get my emails. As of today, it's still not working. Unfortunately, I didn't write down the error code so I can't post that here.
Is anyone else experiencing these issues after the Amber update and if so, what did you do to resolve it (if you did)?
Thanks,
Stu

The Amber update came to our Lumia 928 and we had just activated it like one or two weeks prior, so we were just getting to know the phone. In answer to your difficulties following the Amber update:

Speaker just started cutting in and out (completely) and sometimes it would just dim to almost nothing and then come back. I've had this happen on a couple of calls - the caller becomes very garbled and static filled. I've had to hang upand call back - and they say the same thing happens on their end, my voice is all garbled, like I'm underwater or something. Not all calls, and not frequently, but maybe once every couple of weeks.

My screen is cracked due to a drop, prior to the Amber update. (Yeah, it was nearly brand new when I dropped it ) That doesn't seem to affect the overall function of the phone though.
So, to sum, I am experiencing some of the issues you described, but I'm not sure it's Amber, maybe just the phone design itself. I don't know that a "new" phone will resolve things either. Please do keep us posted...

Very low audio sound

Its a hp pavilon dv6 notebook - serial # 5ch1311yvr - windows7 64 bit -I have tried all sound options I could find, one day the sound was working good and the next day very low volume, no new programs were installed ad no changes that I am aware of, and there are no error messages and all the test say that the sound card is working. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Hi
You have a couple of options as I see it.
Go to device manager and uninstall the Sound driver and restart and unit will install the driver automatically.
Try doing System restore to the date when the unit was working fine.
Try to update the driver from hp.com website for Audio & Bios.
Let us know how it goes!

L430 - very low Audio output

we have bought many L430 notebooks and with Windows 7 the audio output is very low... we have tried with both realtek and windows HD drivers but the result is poor out put...
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Deinstall Dolby Advanced Audio and then Realtek Audio. Then try installing Realtek Audio drivers from your SWTOOLS folder, but DO NOT install Dolby Advanced Audio. See if there are any changes regarding your output level(s). If not, download Realtek Audio drivers from Lenovo Driver Matrix website (note: for me those drivers, 5/6/2013, are refusing to install - says "bad driver something something"), but DO NOT install Dolby Advanced Audio. See if there are any changes regarding your output level(s). In any case, be sure to (properly) deinstall Dolby Advanced Audio. I recently had problems with Dolby Advanced Audio after upgrading Realtek Audio drivers, and the only way to get sound working again was to install Realtek Audio drivers from SWTOOLS folder. I skipped Dolby AA altogether and everything is working fine. Also, worth mentioning, restart your computer after installing Realtek drivers. After restart, make sure your mic/volume mute buttons are working properly.

[Solved] Audio dead after system update

I was having a difficult time with network issues so I did a system update last night, and while it cured my network woes something broke my sound which was working fine before. I use MPD and Ario to play music and VLC to play video and both have no sound. I tried everything in the wiki to no avail, and searched the BBS for ideas (I always use startx).
I did several lsmod, aplay -l, aplay -L, etc commands and everything looks just the same as before the update. I checked audio levels in alsamixer, and even tried to install pulseaudio on top of several reboots and adding myself to audio. The only thing else that might help is I hear a pop from my speakers every so often. I don't know what else to provide that could help. It's hard for me to figure out because everything looks normal, and the cards are even being initialized as far as I can tell.

*EDIT: I went ahead and tried a few more things and reread the PulseAudio entry in the wiki and used pavucontrol as a last ditched effort and found that after the update it seems the soundcard became muted somehow even though I never had pulse installed before on this machine.
I should have tried that first, sorry for anyone who wasted their time on this thread and a good lesson for fellow newbies is to always try control packages first before moving onto other means/making a thread. Marking this as solved.

Low RAM space after Yosemite update...

My mac has been experiencing low RAM space after the Yosemite update... I have a MacBook pro retina display 13" with an 8GB RAM. I also have RAM cleaning softwares but they don't seem to help much... How do I solve this?

Decreasing RAM space doesn't tell you much because of the way OS X is supposed to work (using nearly all available RAM).
Does your Mac slow down significantly?

4G option missing on Lumia 820 after Amber update

Hi
I bought Lumia 820 from singapore (Starhub variant), it was SIM-unlock can use any SIM. i came back to my country Bangladesh. it was working like a power house. i'm ok with the performance. later i faced one power problem issue. i took my handset to Nokia Service center. they fixed the problem as we ll as update my firmware to amber update (which i didnt request to do for Nokia care official. they did it by their own), it was working good, all new feature data sense, sms call block, nokia smart cam, radio etc. every things works fine but i found 4G option is not available in the data selection mode. only 2G & 3G is available. later i checked in nokia web site and found the FW version is for bangladesh only. my question is the FW blocked the 4G option due to no 4G service provider or any other issue. i chose 820 only for LTE option because i traveled a lot to SGP and KL for business purpose and their is 4G service available.
again yesterday my phone got restarted automatically after that i can not sync google contact (only) and my SMS+Call Block option is wiped from the settings menu.
can any one suggest how i can solve this without going to Nokia Care center because local nokia care center service is not good enough to deal with. if no one is available answer my question than i need to visit NOKIA CARE center.
thanks and welcoming expert opinion from expert/pro users.
cheers
Sayeed

hi mate,
if the 4G option was initially present on the phone when you bought it from Singapore, it appears that your local Nokia Care point has flashed the Amber update for your local region (Bangladesh). as LTE services are not widely available in your country, as you have rightly said, 4G is not present in the options.
unfortunately in this case, there is nothing you can do except to go back to Nokia Care and tell them to put the initial firmware (w/Amber, mind you) back onto your device as that was why you bought the device (to use 4G services).

"please wait very low battery" keeps after 1 hour charging

Always connect the iPod to a USB2.0 port at the back of your PC.
Dont connect to low power USB ports, on the fron of the PC, dont use USB Hubs, (may cause Sync problems and coruupt filesytem)
if you are using a Mac, dont connect to the USB port on the keyboard.
