Volume issue with new 30G IPOD and Dock while playing through a stereo.

Sorry if this has been discussed before, I recently purchased a 30G Video IPOD and Dock. While playing through my Stereo I notice that 1) I have to turn up the volume on the IPOD to more than 50% and volume on the receiver to over 50% also and 2) the varience in volume of some of the songs varies consideably. I played by IPOD at a friends home through his Dock and stereo and he controlled through the volume control only on his stereo (same Onkyo as mine), it overode the IPOD volume control. His Dock is about a year old, seems strange that when I use my Dock on his stereo it requires the volume use on BOTH the IPOD and the Stereo. So it would appear that his older Dock is more convenient to use than my new Dock? The fluctations in volume of the odd song is still evident on his stereo as it is on mine.Any comments anyone? Thanks in advance. Larry

Make sure Soundcheck on the iPod is enabled.
I recall a few other people have mentioned the volume control on the iPod affected the volume out the back of the Universal dock.
I have the older dock and it is not affected by the Volume control of the iPod.

  • Cracks and pops while playing anything "above" stereo

    Hi!
    First of all I have read the sticky about this issue but did not find anything that I think applies.
    I recently had a misshappen with my old HTPC (the PSU burned, taking with it the mobo, processor and two harddri'ves ?<img alt="Shocked[/img] src="http://ac3filter.net/forum/Smileys/amunet/shocked.gif">) and I had to build a new box. The specs are the following:
    Antec Fusion Remote
    Gigabyte MA78GM-UD2H
    Athlon 64 X2 7850
    2GB Kingston HyperX 066MHz DDR2
    500GB Caviar Blue SATA2
    X-Fi Extreme Audio
    Now the problem (which I have tried to research before posting this) is that every now and then the sound will pop and crackle when playing anything "above" stereo. The signal will cut out so to speak, the amp will lose the connection momentarily to recieve it half a second or so later. At first I thought that grounding might be the issue but as I said normal stereo-stuff like mp3's, youtube etc work without any problems.
    The soundcard is from my old HTPC and has worked flawlessly and the same thing goes for the cable (analogue to coax from the digital I/O of the X-Fi with SPDIF enabled).
    It happens in VLC, MPCHC and XBMC. So both with AC3 Filter and VLC's internal encoder.
    The reason I'm using the X-Fi and not the internal Realtek is that I can not for the life of me get it to work hehe. It is disabled from the BIOS.
    So, any help would be greatly appreciated.
    EDIT: Using Windows XP SP3 with newest drivers for the X-Fi.

  • Has Apple addressed poor sound quality issues with new 160GB iPod classic?

    I just bought a new 160GB iPod classic, replacing a perfectly good 80GB iPod Video (5.5), thinking that the newer one would be superior to my 3 year old model. I discovered that the sound of the new unit was flat and muddy compared to the older model. I found that the 5th gen iPod video was more "spacial", if that's an appropriate word to use; the bass was more present and more clearly defined, as was the rest of the sonic spectrum. I searched several forums to research this issue and while there were numerous references to this issue, all of the posts I found referred to the original iPod classics (80GB and 160GB) and not the later 120GB classics nor the new 160GB classics like the one I bought. Has Apple done anything to address this issue since the first classics were released or are the new ones still suffering from the same sound quality issues as the original classics?

    Based on your observations here, they apparently have not changed the sound quality since the original 160GB classic. I noticed a clear narrowing of the sound stage (ambiance) between the 5.5G 80Gb and my 6G 160GB. You're describing the same characteristic. I don't own the newest 160GB version and came here today to see if it might have improved the sound quality back to the 5.5 spaciousness. Note that the 5.5G has a higher signal to noise ratio than the 6G, making it difficult for me to enjoy it through efficient balanced armature in ear monitors like the Shure SE530s or Ulimate Ears Triple.Fi 10s.

  • Issue with new 9300 phone and Vodafone service

    Hi All,
    My name is Amol Supal.
    I am for Mumbai, India.
    I have bought new Blackberry 9300 curve from E Zone Chembur Branch, India.
     I took Vodafone new connection and try to activate Blackberry service.
    But Vodafone service centre  convey me that you phone is not able get register in Blackberry Server.
    Request you all, help me to resolve this issue.

    Hello,
    You will need to work with Vodafone...only they can look "behind the scenes" to see what is going on. Perhaps if they tell you why it is not able to register, that may provide some better hints as to what is going on.
    Good luck and let us know!

  • Issue with new Office 2008 and Leopard

    I recently installed Office for Mac 2008 on a new MacBook Pro. Once it was installed, when I launched the program (like Excel or Word) on the application launching screen (where it comes up showing which program you opened and the product key and the name of the registered user) it showed my full administrator password for the MacBook. Then when I went to look at the document properties for the application, under 'company name' is showed my adminstrator password. Not necessarily good when you send files to clients, friends, etc.
    I uninstalled Office 2008, changed my admin password, then reinstalled Office. Same thing happened, except it was still my old original MacBook admin password. Obviously, it did not uninstall the entire program.
    Does anyone know how I can correct this so it will not show my MacBook admin password everytime I launch one of the Office applications?

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!!
    I recently installed Office 2008 on a Leopard Macbook, and don't have these issues. The launch screen shows my name and the registration code only, and the document properties show only my name.
    All I can suggest is you go to MicroSoft's Mactopia pages, and access their forums from there.

  • Security issue with new version IOS and camera on front screen?

    Is it only my phone or is this a potential security bug?
    With the latest version of IOS, if the phone is locked, and the camera is selected from the front screen, by escaping from the camera you bypass the need to input a password.

    Although a good idea, requiring passcode doesn't have to be set as "immediately" for this purpose.  As long as the passcode is required and is now set (regardless of the interval), it will be required to enter the phone even when using the camera from the lock screen. 
    The OP made the mistake of trying this out at a time when the phone was not passcode locked at all and could have been unlocked without using the camera.

  • Strange dual screen issue with HP Folio 1040 and docking station

    Hi there,
    I have a laptop in a docking station. Two displays are connected using the docking station's DisplayPorts. Instead of showing me two separate displays like I'd have expected, xrandr seems to "see" only one large screen.
    Laptop: HP EliteBook Folio 1040 with Intel HD 4400 graphics card
    Docking station: HP 2013 UltraSlim Docking Station
    $ xrandr
    Screen 0: minimum 8 x 8, current 1920 x 1080, maximum 32767 x 32767
    eDP1 connected 1920x1080+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 309mm x 173mm

    HDMI2 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
    VIRTUAL1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
    eDP1 is the laptop's built-in display, while DP2 seems to represent _both_ displays. When I select 1920x1080, the two displays show the same. When I select 3840x1080, however, the two displays show a side-by-side setup, such that X11 spans over both of them. While I'm happy that I'm now able to make use of the second display, this obviously breaks some software stuff, like fullscreen video in vlc, for example. Any suggestions what I can do about that? Is it possible to software-split the screen such that it looks like a normal dual-head setup again?

    You could define two screens in xorg.conf similar to last post here. You would have to select the screen using the -display switch or the DISPLAY variable when using xrandr.

    Not possible, there is a physical switch inside the headphone port, when the headphone jack is plugged in the switch is open and disables the iPod speaker and Bluetooth networks. Cheers.

  • I have synced my macbook pro with new bluetooth speakers and can successfully play internet radio music from my macbook through bluetooth.  However I cannot get my iTunes library playing through the bluetooth speakers.  Can anyone help?

    my macbook pro is successfully linked to bluetooth speakers and I can stream music from the macbook through the speakers.  Except for iTunes.  iTunes will not allow me to select the bluetooth, only 'computer speakers' or 'apple tv'.  I can stream my iTunes library from my iPhone and iPad through these speakers, but not from the MacBook's iTunes.  Is there an easy solution?

    So I have been searching the iStore for Airplay and I find lots of information about what it is, but nothing about how much it costs, how/where to buy it, etc.?
    Fortunately, AirPlay does not cost anything as it is a streaming protocol used by Apple. Currently, the AirPort Express and Apple TV are AirPlay-ready. A number of other companies, like JBL, iHome, Denon and Klipsch are also rumored to be working on AirPlay versions of their products.
    Your other option would be to get an AirPort Express and connect it to your Onkyo analog or optical digital audio input and stream from iTunes that way. I currently do this with my 10+ year old Harmon Kardon HT receiver.

  • Is anyone having volume issues with the new Iphone 4S?

    Is anyone having volume issues with the new Iphone 4S?

    Yes, the volume on my iPhone 4s will max out without me touching any button or setting.  When opening mail, for instance, the ringer icon will appear and the volume level goes to max volume - and I'm not touching the volume buttons.  It seems to happen randomly, at least I can't identify a pattern, but thankfully it doesn't happen all the time, but at least once a day.  
    Anyone else seen this?

  • Playlist Sync Issues with new iPod Touch 8G

    Hi Guys - This my first post. Just got an iPod Touch 8G for Christmas, and I'm
    having some issues with Syncíng it and would appreciate some guidance.
    I previously used a Sony PSP as my portable music player, and so my music
    is organised into folders, with a .m3u playlist for each folder.
    To get the music and the playlist onto the iPod, I tried to use the followqing procedure:
    1. Downloaded and installed iTunes
    2. Registered my iPod and signed up for the iTunes Store
    3. Added one of my folders to the iTunes Library
    4. Synchronised with my iPod (I selected Manually manage music and videos)
    Checked that all the songs were downloaded successfully to the iPod, and
    play on the iPOD.
    5. Imported the .m3u playlist into iTunes(File->Library->Import Playlist).
    Checked it had all items and could play the tracks from the library.
    For some reason, the tracks from the folder now appear twice in the
    Library after this step.
    6. Attempted to sync the playlist to the iPOD. The playlist has 249 tracks,
    but for some reason the sync operation fails with error message "Attempting
    to copy to the disk 'Joseph Olajubu's iPod' failed. The disk could not be
    written to or read from".
    The playlist is partially copied, with between 49 and 208 entries (depending on the sync attempt). Playing the songs from the ipod or creating the playlist directly on the iPOD works. Any idea what's going wrong here? I've tried this operation on 2 different computers with similar results. The iPOD has around 4.5G memroy free. Alternatively, is there software like Anapod available for the iPod Touch if this is an iTunes bug?
    Thanks in advance for your help
