Why does the audiobook sound like its in an echo chamber?

I've been downloading books from Overdrive Media successfully but now when I do it, the audio sounds as if its in an echo booth. They are WMA audiobooks that I download and then transfer to itunes as recommended. What is happening?

CHeck the Equalizer in the upper Window Menu if its set wrong.

  • Why does the ringtone sound worse AFTER I download it?

    Hi guys,
    I'm having an odd issue. I just bought three ringtones direct on my iPhone 4S from the iTunes 'Tones' section, and when I set them as ringtones and preview them on the phone they sound really crappy. When I previewed them in the 'Tones' section and streamed them the sound was full and clear. Any ideas?
    Much appreciated,
    Sacha

    I have exactly the same problem, the best way of describing the problem is that the ringtones sound very tinny, possibly distorted like they've completely lost the bass and much of the lower midrange.
    Like Sacha I've purchased 2 ring tones from the iTunes store within my iPhone 4S (Nicki Minay - Super Bass, and The City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra - Star Trek the Motion Picture), within the store they sound great but as soon as their assigned to ring tones they sound awful.  At first I assumed that the downloads must have been poorly compressed or something but I've since confirmed they play great on my PC. 
    I've also noticed something even more odd, if I use the ringtone as a text message tone on the iPhone one of them sounds great as it should but the other ones won't even play, very strange!  I've had a look at the tones on my PC and both are 30 seconds long, and both are compressed to 256kbps at 44.1khz so no obvious differences.  I've recompressed them to alternative bit rates but nothing seems to make a difference to the sound quality as a ring tone.
    I've since tried both ringtones on my Wifes iPhone 4 and her's exhibits the same problems so not a handset or iPhone 4s specific issue.  It sounds to me like a software bug in iOS5?

  • Why does the hdmi sound out stop working once I start using eyetv?

    I upgraded to Lion and now I have a few problems. I use the Elgato EyeTV to record television on my Mac Mini. I have been using it for a few years. Now once I watch something on my EyeTV the hdmi sound output stops working and I have to reboot to be able to hear audio from iTunes or anything other then EyeTV. Why is this happening and when will there be an update to fix it?

    There were numerous audio issues with OSX 10.6.8 that
    were carried over into Lion and not resolved.  Issues
    with EyeTV was just one of them.  May want to check
    the Snow Leopard forum for workarounds, if any for your case.

  • Why does the new update say its going to take 5 hours?!?!

    i started the download and its been going on for hours and its still not done. Under it it says 5 hours!!!! is it supposed to be that long?

    Unfortunately, yes. Apple's servers are being hammered by literally millions of people trying to update their software. A long wait is super irritating but it's what usually happens.
    Maybe cancel it and if you don't mind waiting a day or two, it'll be much faster work after the rush is over.

  • Why does the message "looks like spam or a virus" appear when sending a picture from my phone?

    Photos sent to the printer come up with a message saying it looks like spam or a virus. Photo printed ok first time, now gives that message in the jobs listing.  Emailed from an Android phone to an HP Photosmart 6510.

    The "spam/virus" message often occurs because the email did not contain any text in the subject line. Please try re-sending an email to your printer and adding text in the email's subject line.

  • Why does the "find my iphone" ap say i'm not connected to the internet when i clearly am?

    I can see web pages, update facebook status, tweet, etc. but this ap says i'm not connected to the internet (wifi and Verizon LTE).  Also, why does the podcast ap say its unable to authorize to automatically update my podcasts (which automatically download to my mac book pro every day without a problem)?

    Go here:
    Settings > iTunes & App Stores > tap your Apple ID: > View Apple ID > Country/Region
    and confirm that it's set to the correct country for your account. If it is, try signing out of your account and back in.
    Hope this helps.

  • Why does the new operating system not delete the moved files from their original location - it seems like an enormous waste of space, time and effort to clean up every file once you've moved it

    Why does the new operating system not delete the moved files from their original locations - it seems like an enormous waste of space, time and effort to clean up every file once you've moved it - also, when transferring large amounts of files it becomes a very large problem remembering which files were transferred and which not.

    You're going to need to be more specific, as I'm not quite sure I understand what you're talking about.
    If you're referring to copying from an external hard drive or flash drive, and you want to actually move files rather than copy them, you can hold down the option key to force it to do a "move" rather than a "copy." This is not new behavior, though... the Mac OS has worked this way as long as I can recall (and I've been using it since 1984).
    If you're having a problem with trying to move files from one place to another on a single drive causing them to be copied instead, that is likely because of some permissions issue preventing you from actually being able to move them.

  • I go to touch an app or game button on my iPhone and the screen blinks like its trying to open, but nothing happens. Why and what do I do?

    I go to touch an app or game button on my iPhone and the screen blinks like its trying to open, but nothing happens. Why and what do I do to fix it?

    Are there any apps in the muti-tasking bar? If the app closed unexpectedly and appeared in the muti-tasking bar, end it. Double tap the home button and then hold the app until it starts to wiggle then tap the minus at the top left at the app (if you want, end all the remaining apps)  try opening them now. Hope this helps! :)

  • Why does the Download Firefox doesn't offer me a language choice iso immediately deciding I have to like downloading it in e.g. Dutch because I'm e.g. in Brussels-a cosmopolitan city?

    Why does the Download Firefox doesn't offer me a language choice iso immediately deciding I have to like downloading it in e.g. Dutch because I'm e.g. in Brussels-a cosmopolitan city?
    When going to firefox.com and clicking the download button, immediately I get directed to the dutch / Nederlands version of the site and I only get the choice to download Firefox Dutch/Nederlands.
    I want the English version. Wouldn't it be better to ALSO have an option to select the language, wherever the software detects you're getting your internet connexion from?

    As people posted, You can select whatever language you want instead at the [http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html Systems & Languages] link below the download button.

  • Why does the system chime sound whenever I open Reader 11 of a pdf document?

    Why does the system chime sound whenever I open Reader 11 or a pdf document?

    Don't know. You can turn system sounds OFF in your control panel. XP it's under Sounds, Vista, 7 & 8 it's under Hardware and Sound.
    Click Change system sounds
    Select "No Sounds" to disable all windows interface sounds.
    Click Apply and OK
