Volume Meter seems bad

I currently am using iTunes 7.0.2, and whenever I turn the iTunes volume down, it turns to static. The only exception was when I was playing movies. My sister can run her iTunes fine, but it happens to me again playing her files over the network. I followed the "iTunes and QuickTime: Audio does not play or plays incorrectly" article but it didn't help. Any Suggestions?
Thanks,

Fixed own prob. Had 1 album set at -20% on volume control. This let it play perfectly with the other tunes in iTunes on the Mac but when transferred to the iPod the resultant loss in volume was quite drastic when compared to tunes with no adjustment (vc set on 0).
Easiest fix was to reset my entire library to same level on volume adjustment (used a +20) and activate Soundcheck, then activate Soundcheck on the iPod.
No more drastic loss of volume. Tunes are not all spot on when compared, but close enough to not make too much of a difference.

  • My on-screen volume meter has just stopped working.

    I have a HP DV7 Entertainment laptop with Windows 7 64 bit.  Up until about a week ago everytihng was working just fine when I adjusted the volume from the keyboard control.  The volume would raise, lower or mute with the keys along with an on-screen display indicating the current level the volume is set to.  But now thw on-screen display is not functioning.  The volume will still raise, lower, or mute with tthe button presses, but just the on-screen does not work.  I dont know what I did, but maybe it had something to do with a new Windows theme that I changed to, because I noticed it not functioning along the same time i changed that.  i changed back to the original theme that was set before and restarted, but still nothing.  How do I get this display back?

    Did you ever get an answer to your problem?  I have the exact same PC and the exact same problem.  Online Chat Help told me to uninstall MediaSmart and reinstall it but my system cam preloaded with that software and it's a hassle to get set up on the server and everything so I don't want to do that.   It doesn't seem like such drastic measures should be necessary for such a small thing.  Did you ever get your volume meter to display again when you used the keyboard controls?  

  • IMovie volume meter shows much red peaking but audio waveform shows none

    When I play my movie, the volume meter in iMovie shows peaking in the red (distortion) all over the place, but in the audio waveform there is not one place where it peaks into the red (or even the yellow).  The whole wave is very close to the 0db line.  It sounds great when I play it and still great after I export it.  But, once I upload it to YouTube, there is awful distortion all over the place just like the volume meter in iMovie indicates.  I can't find any place to turn down output so the volume meter doesn't peak and I don't want to turn my audio waveform down below 0db and lose all of my volume.  I already tried clicking on the Normalize Clip Volume in Audio Adjustments and that didn't seem to change anything, still peaking like crazy in the volume meter.  What can I do to get rid of the red peaking and distortion?
    Here's a little more info for anyone who can help with my problem.  I am using iMovie 11 on an i7 iMac with Lion.  I turned the audio of my video all the way down and imported another audio that had been compressed in Pro Tools to show no red peaks whatsoever.  Can someone please help?

  • Gnome Brightness and Volume Meter

    So, whenever I turn compositing on in Metacity, I get the nice pretty popup with transparent background and all that for volume. However, the brightness popup remains the same as it was before. Now, this wasn't a terrible problem at first, but it's now becoming bothersome, especially since I'm now using notify-osd, and the volume meter comes up in a notification as opposed to Gnome's native display. Has anyone else had this problem/know how to fix it?
    Peter

    I'm not sure but perhaps the gnome brightness app is not aware that compositing is enabled (i.e. it doesn't check) whereas the sound daemon does?  Mine behaves in exactly the same way as yours using Compiz.

  • How to add volume meter in Windows Form Application?

    Assalam-u-Alaikum everyone!
    I've started working on Speech Recognition technology for my final year project. I am required to make a Speech Recognition System for Windows. I want to add volume meter in my software to see how loud the user is speaking.
    I am new to this domain. Can someone please guide me through the basics of the process of adding volume meter? I visited many forums but didn't get what I am looking for. I am using Microsoft Visual Studio 2012 Ultimate.
    I'll appreciate your generous reply.

  • How to enable Volume Meter in Surround Mix

    This file "Mixer_LevelMeter.bmp" is in theme for Surround Mixer.

    sonicx,
    What sound card do you have? I don't have a sound meter option in the surround mixer for my Audigy LS or ZS cards. However, for the ZS card, I have a volume meter in WaveStudio. Also, the Creative MediaSource Player has meter bars. Have you tried those?Message Edited by Katman on 0-27-2006 0:08 PM

  • Updated Drivers, Volume meter moves, Sound not working in Windows 7 Ultimate

    I have installed Windows 7 Ultimate. I set drivers to update automatically. Still I have problem with sound. I can't hear audio in speakers and Headphones. The volume meter is also moving. Can you please help me with this?

    Intel Core 2 Duo Processor
    Thanks,
    Akilan K

    Double-click on the Speakers and navigate to the Advanced
    tab. You'll see a Test button there. Click on it - do you hear a sound?
    It may be possible that you may be using a third-party application for audio enhancement and the audio stream has been muted from there. Please ensure that the speakers are unmuted. You can also try to unplug and plug the speaker wires back in. This usually
    works if the 3rd party looses the settings for back/front and left/right speakers. Doing so builds the speaker configuration again.
    Just to be sure, are you using a 2.1, 4.1 or 5.1 speaker set?
    Please revert back here if this does not resolve your issue either. Hope it helps!

  • Newbie: no audio on master volume meter

    Someone help me, please!
    When I click around on the on-screen keyboard to audition software instruments, the volume meter on the audio instrument track lights up green and shows that audio is running through, but I hear NOTHING.
    There is absoutely no response on the master volume meter, either. The tracks are unmuted, and I have checked the other audio settings to the best of my ability, and I can't find anything.
    Could this be related to the fact that I uninstalled ProTools 6.9 yesterday? And if so, how do I fix it? I just need GarageBand to work so I can get to Podcasting.

  • 0 ppm on final cut volume meter?

    Hi,
    I received some audio suggestions from our broadcaster and they said the peak should be up to 0 ppm.
    1) how much is 0 ppm on the final cut studio pro 3 - volume meter (the dbfs one)?
    2) how much is 0 ppm to db also?
    Thanks,
    aemi

    Suggestions?
    You want very accurate specifications, not suggestions.
    Tolerances will vary from one broadcaster to the other, most will say around -18dfbs for shows. There may be some leeway for commercials because no advertiser wants their commercial to be quieter than the others.
    They might also specify average and minimum audio levels.
    0 ppm = 0dB Analog.
    Note that you should never ever go over 0dfbs because that is the absolute limit in digital audio. There is no more headroom, unlike analog.
    A good spec sheet will detail analog and digital levels exactly . Stick to it.

  • Volume Rocker, seems a bit depressed-in at the top

    I was looking at my volume rocker and noticed it seems like it was more depressed in than that button portion of the rocker and the bottom portion makes a bit more of louder click where the top barely does and sometimes not at all.
    curious if this is significant to have checked out.
    i have only had two cases with this iPad. Apple supplied case and the Incase folio (which the incase offered ample room for the volume rocker so i dont think it was stuck on the incase).
    thanks

    yeah, I just wasnt sure if overtime it lose traction on adjusting the volume.
    I'm not going to waste their time if its a non-issue just wasnt sure if it seemed like something like a depressed button would have a negative effect overtime.

    Welcome to the Forum, Williest311,
    Are you running FoxyTunes?
    FoxyTunes maybe turned off your local sound display?  Could be worth checking...
    If not Foxy' - then it's possible it's another sneaky Add-on. 
    (Don't get me wrong, I'm a Fan - use FF myself and love it.)
    Hope this Helps!

  • Trouble with snoowball usb mic  in GB3....low volume levels or bad clipping

    I have rebooted the computer several times. This usb mic has no driver software and was working fine until I got a audio core driver message of some sort.
    Any pointers?

    dollarblower,
    If it's not the Snowball, then I'm not sure.
    You can give the following a try; I don't know if it will help you, but it won't hurt you, and it often solves weird issues in GB:
    Use Disk Utility to repair your system permissions (/Applications/Utilities);
    Then, trash your GarageBand Preference files (don't worry, it will replace them; you can reset any prefs to what they were in the app)
    Search for the two files:
    com.apple.garageband.cs -and-
    com.apple.garageband.plist
    and discard them.
    (Normally, they are in /Library/Preferences/ or in user/Library/Preferences/
    but do a search to make sure you get all the copies.)
