Voice "echo" in audio books

howdy apple fans!
here is my issue...
in listening to my audio books the voice has, what i can best describe as, an echo. the "echo" is close enough to the word it repeats that i can still understand the context of the words being spoken but it is distracting to listen to.
any thoughts out there on how to fix this?
thanks!

Have you tried different headphones?
Also, try resetting the iPod...

Finally, does this happen with all audiobooks? Are these audiobooks from the iTunes Store?

  • Voice controling audio books and podcasts

    Hi Folks:
    As a Blind user of an iPhone 3GS, I am unable to extend voice control to audio books or podcasts. Am I doing something wrong or is this not available yet. If it is not available, can someone point me to where I can make this suggestion?
    Thanks all over the place gang.

    I too have run into this issue of voice control not recognizing my Podcast Playlist, hopefully it will be able to soon.

  • Problem syncing Audio Books

    Hi, i have this audio book from my brother,
    When i dropped it in itunes library,it just add to the music list like a song,
    I want it to be shown in the AudioBooks page,
    when i synced my IPOD even there the audiobook is in the MUSIC directory,not in the Audiobooks directory,
    Can anyone help me in placing the audiobooks in the correct folder,
    Thankyou................

    It sounds like it's tagged as music , not an audio book . i get that alot .
    what i do is connect my ipod , itouch , to my itunes and i believe its right click and the info for the track comes up and one of those selections is voice , music or audio book . Change each to audio book and that works .
    hope it works for you . thats all i know .good luck .

    I am looking for a good app that can help a college student with reading books that cannot be found on audio book.  I have tried voice over and it works but it's very monotone and it really strings things together. 
    - I'm willing to pay for a good app but I can't seem to sort though the many that are out there. Any suggestions.

    Ah. I'm surprised, but there we go.
    Have a look here ...

    Didn't have time to do more than skim, but 'Ardour' looked promising. Protools is the only one I've used, the full product is one of the industry standards, but the free 'lite' version listed here seems to be limited to 2 in/out as well.
    Referring to your original post, I'd think trying to write or 'script' something would be a nightmare ... synchronisation of streams within something like Applescript would be a major issue, quite apart from anything else.

  • Echo in audio of audio books?

    Hi I'm new to the iPod but I must be doing something wrong.
    My podcasts, video podcasts, TV shows and music all sound perfect! I downloaded two audio books "Nightfall" by Nelson Demille and "Hitchkickers Guide". Both of these have an echo when I play them back. I've tried three different headsets and the problem is still there. When I play the audiobooks from the ipod through my iMac they sound perfect through all the headsets and speakers.
    Do I have a problem with the pod or me?!
    Any suggestions or insights welcome!

    I had this as well and fixed it by changing the audiobook "speed".
    Trying the following:
    from main menu select: Settings -> Audiobooks -> and change it to Normal.
    I had it set to Slow and there was an echo, but went away when I changed it to Normal.
    Hope this helps.

  • After purchasing Michael Connelly's audio book Echo Park, I discovered it is in French... reviewing the purchase I did not find any notation about language or option to change the language.  I downloaded 3 other books in English. Can I get it in English?

    How do you get Michael Connelly's audio book Echo Park in English... it is in French.

    It sounds like you may have multiple problems, but none of them are likely to be caused by malware.
    First, the internet-related issues may be related to adware or a network compromise. I tend to lean more towards the latter, based on your description of the problem. See:
    http://www.adwaremedic.com/kb/baddns.php
    http://www.adwaremedic.com/kb/hackedrouter.php
    If investigation shows that this is not a network-specific issue, then it's probably adware. See my Adware Removal Guide for help finding and removing it. Note that you mention AdBlock as if it should have prevented this, but it's important to understand that ad blockers do not protect you against adware in any way. Neither would any kind of anti-virus software, which often doesn't detect adware.
    As for the other issues, it sounds like you've got some serious corruption. I would be inclined to say it sounds like a failing drive, except it sounds like you just got it replaced. How did you get all your files back after the new drive was installed?

  • I recently downloaded an audio book, while the book sounds ok on my mac it has an echo in my iPad. Any way to fix ?

    I recently downloaded an audiobook from itunes the audio book has an echo on my iPad although it works on my main mac...any ideas?

    Hello robbinredbreast,
    I'd recommend putting the iPod into 'manual mode.' This will need to be done from the computer that it's normally synced to in order to prevent removing existing content, but it can then be connected to your computer, and you can add the audio book without removing the current library on the device.

  • Downloaded audio books and the voice wobbles

    I downloaded an audio book off itunes onto my computer and the voice wobbles. Is there any way I can fix it or download it again without paying for it twice? I've never had any problems with music or other downloaded audio books so I don't know what happened.
    Thanks

    Johnsherryq-
    When you receive the confirmation eMail from the iTunes store, check to see if it charged you twice or just once.  If it is not correct, there is a reply link under the item to "Report a Problem".

    can somone please tell me how to slow it down?

    On the now playing screen on the right hand side right below the scrubber bar is the playback speed control. Change it back to normal.

  • IPhone 5 works fine with incoming calls and audio books but no one can hear me talk.

    I have an add-on blue tooth system in my older Prius and it worked perfectly for a couple of years.  I can still receive phone calls and listen to audio books through my radio speakers but all of a sudden my callers could no longer hear my voice so I have to switch the phone audio source to iPhone so they can hear me.  This happened when I had the iPhone 4 and has continued with the iPhone 5.  Any suggestions on how to fix this?

    Hi, Did you test to see if after 2 or 3 mins the phone started working correctly? mine does then it will work for a day or 2 on every call then I have to do the same thing again.

  • Pdf to Audio book conversion

    Team;
    As frequent traveller Im looking for any App which can facilitate to convert Pdf books to audio books..any ideas, comments or experience will appreciated..!
    Greetings;
    Ravi

    I'm not sure if that's possible because what you basically need is an app to read your PDF to you and then save the file. There might be a computer program, just not sure about an app.
    I'd look for any of the accessibility apps, ones that  are 'text to voice' and see if any of them allow you to save and export the file.

  • Itunes shuts down when transferring audio books to Library

    I have downloaded several audio books. There are now in my download folder. When I attempt to transfer one of them to my Library I get a Windows error message that says itunes must shut down. This is a fairly new problem. In fact one of the Audio books I am trying to transfer is part two and I sucessfully downlaoded the first part a couple of weeks ago. Thanks for your help.

    Friends:  Here's the answer to at least my problem of having iTunes crash most of the way through Step 3 of the iTunes Match process:  There were Voice Memo files mixed in with the music files.  Although both are listed as *.m4a files, the match system hiccupped when encountering them.
    Solution:  Use the "Info" button to find out where the possibly offending files are located.  Go to that location and move them someplace else. 
    Once the offending files are gone the entire process works like a charm.
    Now why couldn't Apple have told us that little "secret" instead of having us *customers* thrashing around in the dark?
    Hopefully this will help someone else out there.
