Very low sound when I connect guitar

Hello
When I connect my guitar to logic via fast track ultra I can barely hear the sound, it's so low. Instead I have to use logic plugins make it sound at normal volume. How can I get this normal?
Kind regards
Frankensten

My guess is you're not plugging into a Hi-Z input.
In other words, when DI recording a guitar, because the signal is naturally very quiet, a line level input is no good. Many interfaces these days have a designated Hi-Z input, so check (I'm not familiar with yours). If you don't have this option you can buy cheap units (DI Boxes) that do the job.
This should solve your problem and give you the right amount of gain.
(Again, don't rule out volcanic ash)

Hi bunjamin,
just go to BlackBerry World, and update all your apps including BBM.

you can turn off the magnifying glass :

you can deactivate the "reset to Hub view" :

When instant streaming Netflix on my Macbook Pro, the sound is very very low even when sound controls are set at highest level. I do not have this problem when listening to TV or watching movies streamed from DishNetwork. I contacted Netflix and they had me install a newer version of their software Silverlight... this did nothing to resolve the issue. They were not familiar with the issue.

Well if your on 10.6.2, you need to software update to 10.6.8
Perhaps you need to adjust the Silverlight (Microsoft DRM video plug-in) sound level itself too
Run a check here to see if your current on your Silverlight (works for all browsers)

Use another browser like Firefox and see if it continues.
Try another video file. They all have their own sound levels too.

Qosmio X500 - Very low sound

Hello everyone!
I have a problem with my new Qosmio X500. Its speakers produce a very low sound, especially when I'm using Guitar Pro. Please, tell me, if it can be improved somehow. Thanks a lot!

Have you tried adjusting the speaker enhancements? This Increased the volume quite a bit for me.
Open "SOUND" from the control panel, on the "Playback" tab double click "Speakers" This will bring up the "Speaker Properties" box. Go to the enhancements Tab. "Loudness Equalization" made the biggest increase for me.

No sound when I connect my Macbook pro (2012) to TV via HDMI!

Hi! I have a problem with the sound when I connect my Macbook pro (bought in 2012) to a Phillips HD TV. The strange thing is that it only happens with some videos (specially youtube videos) but the sound works perfectly with films and audio files I have in my computer, and also when I watch TV online (Eurosport player for instance and other similar applications). It's even stranger because it doesn't happen all the time; last week I tried many times to watch some youtube videos and after unplugging the HDMI cable it seemed to work. As I said, with Eurosport player and many films downloaded in my macbook I don't have this problem (sound is ok all the time), and this is why I'm really confused. I suppose it's not a connection problem, otherwise I wouldn't have sound in any video, right? I've tried two different HDMI's cables but nothing has changed. Please, someone help me, as I can't figure out what's happening. Thank you very much!

Well Im not sure what the fix is for your problem, but can you please open up the sound preference next time you connect the philips tv, and make sure that sound output is set to hdmi out. Then try and play your video's etc and see if they are affected.
I can tell you I get a similar problem when, for example, I have a youtube window open and then connect the external display. The youtube video will not sound out through the cable, however if i refresh the window it works. Also the same when I use bluray player on mac, I have to close it and open it again for the sound to output through the external monitor.

Very low sound volume on Portege R500

The sound volume on my R500 (R500-11c to be exact) is ridiculously low. Only with volume maxed out (100) and using headphones do I hear anything at all, and even then it's way too low to be useful. I can just make out the test sounds in the left and then right earphone when using the test sound found at Control Panel -> Sound -> Speakers (there are no Headphones to be selected) -> Properties -> Advanced -> Test. Unplugging the headphones I hear nothing from the speakers, due to the (very low) sounds made by the fan and HDD. Playing music (with headphones) I can just make out that sounds are being produced, but I can't even make out what is playing.
I've tested the things mentioned in the "Satellite 5105-S901 Sound is very low (even on max volume) using supplied Toshiba driver" thread with no success (including Loudness Equalization).
I'm running Vista Business 32bit, and have tried the driver_audio_realtek26117B.exe, driver_audio_realtek_TC00157600B.exe, and Vista_Win7_R243_x86.exe driver files, and also used the util_mute_off_25847B.exe utility.
Enabling mute makes the already faint sounds go completely silent, so I don't think it's a mute issue.
Jack detection does work, I can see that in the Realtek HD Audio Manager program. Using that program's sound test (Speaker Configuration) I have to go to a completely silent room, and even then I only hear something in the right earphone. (I think; it's so darn low I could be imagining I hear it.)
Decreasing the sound volume slider from 100 does make the almost inaudible sound even harder to even notice, and at around 45 it is no longer audible even in a quiet room with headphones.
So it seems that I somehow need to reset the audio chip to "normal" level. Or it is broken and can't output anything more audible.
Does anyone have any ideas what I can try next? I can boot to XP or Linux if anyone has any ideas on how to get sound there, just to get started. (They're silent as well, I haven't done as extensive testing under those as under Vista.)

Hello, and thanks for answering.
Yes, I have tried increasing the volume in control panel -> Realtek HD audio manager. No success.
I have used a bunch of different drivers, both from toshiba's website and realtek's.
Recently did a fresh XP install on another hard drive (don't have Vista install media), tried both 5.10.0.5869 and 5.10.0.6066 drivers (5.10.0.6066 is from march 13, 2010), sound still as low no matter what I do.
Did the really desperate thing: bought a new (used) sound module on ebay ("Toshiba Portege R500 (PPR50E-00L048EN) USB jack" on ebay.co.uk), but it has the same problem as the original one.
A hardware problem... well maybe, I was thinking perhaps the sound module doesn't get enough power from the motherboard, but since there is some sound (although very low), the USB jack on the module works, the headphone/mic jack detection works, and the diagnostics found in the Control Panel all say that the device is working OK, I don't think it's a hardware problem.
I'm guessing there is a problem with the drivers initializing the sound to a ridiculously low setting, and increasing the volume level to 100 makes it go up to a level equal to perhaps 2 in a regular system. That should be solved by a fresh install, but it isn't.
Perhaps the BIOS messes up the sound? But re-flashing the BIOS doesn't help...
Anyone got any other ideas?
I've googled and found people having problems with low sound volume on other laptops using the ALC262 chip, but no general solution.

There's no sound when i connect to apple tv

Hi,

Hi,
Have you tried Option click on the sound icon in the status bar at top right of your screen? It shows the Output and Input options. Select your Apple TV there.

Don't forget to check the physcial volume control dial on the side of the laptop. Not easy to see, and many people aren't aware that it exists. I had a low volume problem and was pulling my hair out for a day or two until I realised it was there.

You have to jailbreak your phone to do this, voiding all warranty & support. Just flip the Ring/Silent switch when you send.

Low sound when somebody calls me?

I can only hear a low sound when somebody calls me, trough my ear speaker next the facetime camera. What is wrong?
Is it the speaker that is dead? Or is it the settings?

Low sound when I use headphones to my iPad

When I connect my headphones to my iPad I can only hear the music very low in the background. Almost totally silent.
Even if I change the volume there is no difference. I see the volumebar change, but the sound will not be any higher.
When I disconnect the headphones I can hear the music again and the volumebar is working as it should.
What should I do?

First check that your headphones work in another device to be sure there isn't a problem with them.
Check to see if this is an issue only with music. Do you have the same problem watching videos?
If only for music, check to be sure you haven't enabled Volume Limiting by looking in Settings > Music > Volume Limit. If it's on, turn it off.

Hey there,
I know this post is very old but maybe it can help someone else at some stage.
This is my very first post on Mac Support so I hope it helps in some way
So I had a similar issue with my panasonic LCD HD TV.
I have an early 2007 MBP with a DVI output, not a HDMI. I use a DVI to HDMI cable to connect the two devices.
I understand that the DVI output from the MBP does not include audio, just video.. Is that also the case with HDMI I'm not 100%. To carry the audio I used the 3.5mm headphone jack to the older 'analog' red white yellow connections. I think it was red yellow or red white.. anyway, easy find what the video colour is.
I understand that you might not have used the 3.5mm jack, however, what I did to fix it might still help you.
Firstly, check your HDMI cable as I hear that some don't carry audio...
After that, check your TV settings on HDMI 1 and be sure it is set to 'digital input'.
I had to change my audio input to analog as I used the 3.5mm headphone jack.
Until I did that I had zero audio... Maybe your TV is on analog audio input by default.

Buzzing sound when I connect my pc to my dj mi

Hello,
This is driving me nuts. What I'm trying to do is connect my pc through my Audigy 2 NX USB to my dj mixer so I can play tracks through my main system. I know the cords aren't the problem because they are high quality and they work fine in other applications. What could be some of the causes and/or solutions for this buzzing/humming sound that emanates.
The connection starts at my external sound card with an /8" phono plug that splits to two RCA's. These then connect to the back of my mixer into one of the "Line In" ports. Then the mixer signal is sent to a crossover and then to two amps for highs and lows and out to the speakers. It seems like it doesn't always happen so I was hoping someone could give me a checklist of things to examine so I don't waste hours trying everything. Thanks so much.

Hi, I am having the exact same problem as you are when I connect to my band mixer. I get sound but have an annoying hum that won't go away. I know it has to do with the sound card because if I connect to my laptop computer there is no hum or buzz. If you found a solution to this problem I would appreciate it if you could emal me at [email protected] Thank You, Frank

[SOLVED] Very low sound level after installing kernel26-2.6.30

I can't see this issue anywhere, so I'm sorry if I duplicate it here.
Since the upgrade to 2.6.30, the sound on my desktop system (VIA P4M890) is very low. (I also have a Thinkpad with an Intel GM45 chipset, and this is working like a charm.)
I'm using a very simple ALSA configuration. There is sound, but it is just almost inaudible. I've set the highest possible level in alsamixer and when I turn up the volume to the maximum, I can hear sound. But it is very weak and not very clear. It's not related to hardware failure: rolling back to 2.6.29 fixes the problem.
Did anyone detect the same issue?

Alright mate, thanks. Let me try that.
In fact, I didn't have that new channel, but I set the VIA DXS mixers to 100% (like described here: http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php/Via) and now everything is working.
Great!
