Very Low Headphone Volume

Hello,
I just bought the Sony MDR-XB400 headphones to go with my Xperia Z1. The volume is extremely low--like barely noticeable.
The issue is, the headphones work very well on my laptop and my wife's S4.
Also, earphones (i.e. earbud type) work very well on the Xperia.
The problem seems only to be with the Sony headphones on the Sony Xperia Z1.
Is there anything I can do short of return the headphones?
Thanks,
nickEVeli

Have you tried settings-apps-all-walkman,clear data?Also,do that for smart connect.Restart the phone.
All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us - J.R.R. Tolkien

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.

Nokia Lumia 1020 Very Low Earpiece Volume

Hi
My Nokia Lumia 1020 has very low earpiece volume. At even maximum volume one can find it really hard to hear. I have brushed off any dust etc.. but still the problem persists. I have also read other users facing similar problems. What a pity that such a great phone cannot fulfil basic purpose of having a phone. What's the solution as I want to switch back to Samsung note 3.

Hi, hugosilver and kleo1712.
Welcome to the Nokia Support Discussions!
To help us isolate the issue, you can not hear the person on the other line, the person on the other line cannot hear you, or the audio quality is poor when in call? There are several fixes that you can try to possibly resolve whichever the exact issue you have with your phone is. See: http://www.nokia.com/ph-en/support/product/lumia1020/troubleshooter/?categories=Audio%20and%20sound,.... (Note: The provided link is intended for customers who are located in the Phiippines. If in case you are from a different region, go here: http://www.nokia.com/global/support/locations/, select your region, your phone model, and then "Troubleshooting".)
In case you have other questions, just let us know. All the best!

Nokia 603 - Very low call volume

Hello All,
My nokia 603 has very low call volume than ordinary level.
It seems to be known issue with 603. But i am unable to get any solution for the same.
Is there any patch update to be done for the same?
My phone runs with latest FP2.
Please advice
Thanks,
Muralids

SIM works well in other phones. Im sure that the problem is with the phone only. even in headset call volume is low. I ve seen such kind of problemr are posted on internet, but there is no solution!
it is really annoying
The last resort perhaps is to send the phone to a Nokia Care Point for further device evaluation.
You can locate one by navigating through your local Nokia support page at http://www.nokia.com/global/support.
Good luck

''Well When i plug in my ipod touch the battery life is low..i let it sit a wyhle.And it starts up to the apple logo and it stay there some time then it restartsback over to the very low battery and repeat(Over&Over)?

''Well When i plug in my ipod touch the battery life is low..i let it sit a wyhle.And it starts up to the apple logo and it stay there some time then it restartsback over to the very low battery and repeat(Over&Over)

Can you reset the device by holding the sleep and home button until the Apple logo comes back again?
If this does not work, try to connect in recovery mode, explained here: iOS: Unable to restore

Why am I getting very high values for the very low frequency region of a random signal?

I am tyring to produce a power spectrum graph for a Tachogram data, related to Heart Rate Variability Analysis. This data can be thought to be as a random signal, but has a frequency spectrum range of 0 - 1HZ.
The problem that I am facing is, I am getting very high values for very low frequency region, closer to DC value. Even the DC value is really high, in the range 10^8. It is suppose to be a low number. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Here is what my work is all about. I am trying to develop a software for Heart Rate Variability analysis. I am not sure if you are aware of heart beat waveforms, they are bunch spikes, occuring at irregular intervals. We have to do analysis on this waveform. How ? First we have to create a plot called Tachogram. This is done by, for example, let's name the first spike R1, the second one R2, and the third one R3, and so on. This is how the co-ordinate points are created. (R1, R2-R1), (R2, R3-R2), and so on...
Here R1 is the time instant at which the spike R1 occurs, and R2-R1 is the time difference between these peak occurences. So, if we plot these values, then it gives us one like what you saw on your time domain plot. What we have to do with this signal is, we have to apply FFT technique to produce its power spectrum for analysis. Generally the frequency range of the spectrum goes from 0 - 0.5 Hz. They part this range into VLF, LF, and HF, and analyze how much power is distributed in these regions. The distribution would tell you if you were stressed out,or have worked out, things like that. Normally, you can view spikes around LF, HF region. If you had viewed the power spectrum for the data that I sent, then that's what it pretty much looks like. I think I have said a lot about it now. Hope you get it.
We were talking about the "other component", I can't really see where it lies, must be in the 60-80 sec. range in the graph. If you look at the spectrum, I am getting a huge value around 0.0033 Hz, how do I minimize or remove this ?
Also, I am using Unevenly Spaced Signal Spectrum.vi, I am not sure what excactly is the unit for the Power Spectrum output. Technical Papers denote, Periodogram algorithm used by this VI, gives Power Spectral Density ? If that's right, then the unit is V^2/HZ.
Please advise.
Again, I should thank you for your time and effort.
I have to meet a deadline this week in finishing this project, and your help is immense to me at this point.
Thanks & Best Regards,

Very Low Ipod volume

I have recently bought a 2GP Ipod with colour display in the United Kingdom and I am very upset with the volume level. On the majority of tracks the volume is very low and when it is cranked up to maximum it sometimes distorts the sounds although they are not very loud. I have fiddled with the EG settings but to no avail.
When using Itunes I set the volume to the maximum - is this incorrect. I am using Sony ear phones - the ones with the little plugs which go straight in your ear.
Please can someone advise me what do as I am rather upset with the iPod - I have used the EU Pro Booster but it doesn't seem to help.

Normally I do not engage in contest such as these, especially when I am correct, however I will take the time to set you straight on a few things.
Your Statement: well thank you for your very kind and informative information.
My reply: Never a problem. I do not mind correcting people that are not well informed, and where I might have a bit more knowledge.
Your question: so do you live in europe and do you have a ipod from europe?
My reply: Yes I live in Europe and no I do not have a European iPod, but I have taken the time to read about the differences between the US and European version. Can you say the same?
Your question: if not do you have a head piece from b&o?
My reply: When you say, head piece do you mean, head phones, or ear phones, or some additional piece of equipment from B&O designed for use with audio devices? You were not clear here so I naturally assumed you meant headphones. Second, how does this figure into the equation?
Your question: if not what made you the king of judges to contamplate about my taste and the way i like my music?
My reply: Show me in my original post where I judged your musical tastes. Second, where did I say any thing about how you life your music. I only stated a FACT (something that you failed to do), about how non-sealing headphones such as the B&O's that can not isolate sound can not match headphones that completely isolate the listener from ambient noise. My facts verses your opinion.
Your sophomoric question: do you work for these folks www.etymotic.com
My answer: No. Even if I did, you are still wrong and I am still correct.
Your question: did i ask your opionion?
My reply: Nope, but this is a public forum and I am providing facts where you are providing opinions. Who would you listen to? You with guesses and conjecture, or me who has provided details and links to possibly solve a problem for the stater of this thread?
Your statement: I was just talking to a fellow who lived in europe and had a problem?
My reply: So was I, and had info to back mine up.
Your question: who are you to tell me that i am mistaken?
My reply: Obviously someone that seems to know quite a bit more than you about this issue.
Your statement: learn to be polite and express your views this way
My reply: Learn or have an idea about what you wish to discuss and I will not have to correct you again.

Audigy 2 ZS + Vista 64bit resolves in very low maximum volume out

Hi,
I did just install Windows Vista Ultimate 64bit Edition on my computer.
I've got a CREATIVE Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS sound card, and I downloaded and installed the drivers for it.
I did not run into any complications while installing the driver, but after the driver was successfully installed and I rebooted my computer the first thing that hit me was the fact that the volume output was VERY LOW.
I have to boost my volume to the maximum to even be able to hear my music and games at a decent volume level. The maximum volume output seems to have been reduced with at least 50% compared to what I had with Windows XP Professional.
I've tried to configure every sound settings I can find, but without any luck.
The sound card is completely useless with this low maximum volume output, when I can barley hear my music or in-game sound.
Is this a common problem?
Have do I solve it's
I need at least 10% increase in the sound volume, otherwise the sound card is pointless.

Yes I did, I've checked everywhere I can possibly think of. Have boosted everything to the max, but still it's way to low

Very low sound volume on Skype, but OK on everything else

I know this subject has already been raised but I have tried all the suggestions on other posts on this topic, but still the volume of Skype is very low. I can only hear the conversation in a very quiet environment. The same low volume applies when I check the sound in Skype or do a test call. I am using an Acer laptop (built in speakers) and Windows Vista which is up to date. All sliders on the sound mixer are on 100% and the box Automatically Adjust Speaker Settings in Skype is unticked. I am using a recent version of Skype (installed about a month ago) The sound volume on iTunes and other applications is absolutely fine! Please keep explanations simple, I am not a computer expert... Thank you!

Skype was working then became very quiet.I am on Win7/64 Creative soundcard, Latest Skype
The solution (for me) was simple.
Go to: Skype>Tools>Options>Audio Settings>Speakers
In my set up there is a dropdown to select what speakers Skype should use. It was using Digital Audio Interface There was also another option called "Speakers" I chose speakers and the volume returned to match the rest of the system
How it got set incorrectly is a mystery. I guess "Gargy Watts" must have set it, as my old mum used to say... or the Skype Fairy has been fiddling, as I have other things on my mind rather than fiddling with Skype settings and I'm the only one to use the PC!
I hope this helps some of you guys and gals

Has anyone noticed a problem with low/no volume after update to iOS 8.1.3 ?

HHas anyone noted a problem with low or no volume after update to iOS 8.1.3?

Although this reply is late. I just want to share that I have the same issue - no LTE after upgrade to 8.1.3 on my iPhone 5. No matter switch on/off iPhone or LTE option or Airplane Mode - they all didn't work....but after an upgrade to 8.2 today. I got my LTE back now after a month...not sure if it is a bug or a reset work. Good luck to anyone who looking for the resolution of same issue.

Why hasn't the itunes store been updated? These are last week's new albums?

It's tues anf the new music hasn't been loaded, why?

As this is a user-to-user forum, no one here would have the answer to that question. However, it has been my observation that things don't always get updated at the same time on Tuesdays. Sometimes it's earlier in the day, sometimes later, sometimes very late.

Very low sound volume after 2.6.38.3-1 update

Hello,
Yesterday before logging off I updated the kernel from 2.6.38.2-1 to 2.6.38.3-1 sucessfully. Today I log in and notice that there's no sound coming from my speakers or headphones. So I pull the volume sliders to max and notice that sound works but is output with an extremely low volume. I checked alsamixer for muted channels but there wasn't, but some channels disappeared from there (front, surround, center...) but PCM and master were at max.
I switched phonon backends (KDE user) but no result. Anyways non-kde/phonon apps have the same issue.
Downgrading kernel version to 2.6.38.2-1 makes sound volume back to normal.
My Audio device (integrated) is : nVidia Corporation MCP61 High Definition Audio (rev a2), ruled by the snd_hda_intel module.
I never had sound/alsa issues since I am on Linux, so I'm noobish concerning this. Is there any idea(s) to make it work properly in the 2.6.38.3-1 kernel ?
Thanks in advance.

Almost the same here: Intel HDA audio, no speaker sound with 2.6.38.3 but I get sound in my headphones (front output.)
Downgrading to 2.6.38.2 (or 2.6.32-lts) makes speakers work again.
I tried to blacklist snd_hda_codec_hdmi thinking that maybe sound was being output to HDMI, but that didn't change anything (besides snd_hda_codec_hdmi not being loaded, of course.)
I also compared the sound modules list between 2.6.38.2 and 2.6.38.3 but they are the same.
I also ran "sudo alsactl store" to get rid of the errors at boot but that didn't help either, except removing the errors. (I unfortunately didn't log these errors, it was alsactl complaining about the contents of the asound.state file...)
Edit: alsactl.store -> asound.state... :-\

T61 has a very low max volume

I'm running a T61 with Win XP SP3 and the max volume with all the sliders is very soft. Any way to improve this besides external speakers or using headphones?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Found another way around this problem. There are aftermarket software packages out there that allow you to boost the "gain" levels of your sound output. I got one as a snapin to Windows Media Player and now I can boost the volume levels to a more acceptable level. You trade some sound clarity for the increased volume but the quality on the stock speakers was never great anyways. I'll find the package and post a link to the freeware download page.
