Xperia Z2: Bad sound on video recordings

Hello
I am VERY dissapointet on Xperia Z2 when it comes to recording video on a live concert.
The video is fine but the sound gets distorted from the bass.
When the music is without bass its fairly fine but as soon as the bass sound comes in the recording is getting useless because of the distortion.
Other phones like iPhone, Samsung and HTC has NO PROBLEM with their sound on live concerts recording so WHY is SONY having this problem ?
The phone is completely useless as a recorder at concerts. I can only take pictures. I did not expect this from a phone that has full scores on reviews and tests and is among the most expensive ones on the marked.
Anyone know why this is so or if this will be fixed in anyway ?
Or I just have to ditch this phone and by iPhone 6 when it's released.

I purchased the stm10 exactly because of this reason, any bass whatsover and the video is rendered totally useless. The bad news is the stm10 makes absolutely no difference so dont waste your money.
This coupled with the camera overheating issues and non existent Sony customer support makes this phone in my opinion totally **bleep**e, my advise is sell it now like i had to and cut your losses while it still has some resale value.

NO SOUND ON VIDEO RECORDINGS ON BB TOUR

When I record videos with my Tour there is no sound on playback, just really low static. The voice notes records/plays back fine, and plays music and sound from web video. Only recorded videos don't have sound. Verizon suggested a master reset, but rather not do that except as last resort.
Any solutions or educated guesses?

I have the same issue. I noticed that recordings from May and just today all have static and no sound. Stuff from farther back (12/2009) work just fine.
I also feel it has to do with OS 5.0 (as the break is around the time I upgraded and one of the claims of 5.0 was that it had better video recording).
I called Verizon and they wanted me to do a hard reset which means I would have to install all of my apps again and I just won't do that. There must be a more nuanced and less destructive solution

Got a HP nforce 430 motherboard with the X-fi Extreme?music card with 4gig ram. Anyone mind helping me that have got things to work out with the same setup?

Nokia Purity (in-ear) - the solution to bad sound ...

I read a lot of review about bad sound on the Nokia Lumia phones but I tried various hifi headphones on it and it was amazing. The main issue is that you cannot equalize the sound to match your headset. I wanted a headset with controls and microphone that could match my hifi headphones, and I decided to try these. The packaging is amazing and the design matches the Lumia 800 (black) and everything feels high quality. There are many shapes of earpads for them to match your ears.
I first tried the ones that are already on them, and I found the bass too high. Then I changed the pads and got too little bass. Then I tried some pads in between and the sound is perfect
So even if you cant change the bass on the phone itself, you now can by changing the pads on the headset.
I will comment more on sound quality as they get "broken in".

Smiley,
What you suggest isn't really a SOLUTION to bad iDVD photo quality, because you aren't creating a DVD that can be played back with a DVD player.
You are simply suggesting an alternate approach for distributing slideshows which requires the receiver have a computer. iPhoto/iMovie give you several options on prepairing slideshows/movie for various methods of distribution (CD, email, etc).
Some DVD players will also play jpg files from a CD or DVD and that avoids the mpg-2 compression quality loss, but a TV set image is still a TV set image.
which gives you over 90 pictures for a 10 MB slideshow
A lot of email programs aren't happy with a file that size, and of course, since you have created a QuickTime movie, your PC friends will also need to install QuickTime. The Flip4Mac Studio application will let you convert your QuickTime movie to a WMV movie for those with PCs.
I'm glad you found an approach that you are happy with.
If you open the file in Quicktime and got to Window > Show Movie Info, you will see that it lists each JPEG within the package, along with a transition component. It doesn't compress the images into a video file, but rather references the original images within the .Mov package
BTW, there are several different CODECs that can be used in the .MOV file container - Photo JPEG is just one.
QuickTime Pro offers more saving options than the standard version, so I recommend you invest in QuickTime Pro. You will be able to create your slideshow directly in QuickTime Pro.

No sound from Video Recording on iPad Mini

Hi All Apple users,
Just need to check how do i troubleshoot this problem.
I can hear the sound from videos from all other websites and other playback apps.
but when i tried recording a video, the sound just did not project out from my recordings.
it is a mic problem? because i had no problems before. it just so happened one fine day...

why can't you record your video ?
is the option gone?
does it give you an error?
does it show as if it's recording but don't produce a recording in the end?
basicly more info is needed

URGENT- DOING MEMORIAL VIDEO sound and video are off when sent to iDVD

I watch the video in iMovie and the sound and video are in sync. When I send to iDVD, the two are no longer in sync. I have made changes to the iMovie project since my last DVD burn. With the initial burn, there were no sound issues.
I've tried all of the following:
1. closing and reopening iMovie and iDVD
2. resending from iMovie to iDVD
3. readding the clip and removing the original clip from the iMovie project
4. restarting my computer
The only things I have not done are the following:
1. redownloading the original video clip from my camcorder
2. recreating the project
3. trying a different project to see if that one has the same audio/video issue (this will be my next step)
#2 above is literally so intense as I have a lot of editing on this. To make it clear to you, I have video footage of a memorial.... and after the memorial I chose little 20-30 second clips here and there. I don't have audio with those clips -- just iTunes music overlay.... so, those I don't need to worry about sound coinciding.... just the 30 minute clip that is the actual memorial service.
This is time sensitive.... it is a memorial video and I don't have time to redo the thing from the beginning, especially considering how long it took me to find those 20-30 second clips of the post-memorial.
Please help!

Yes... I had seen that.... and, yep, have the latest software.... and even rebooted my machine thinking that maybe it hadn't been restarted since the update (can't remember how long ago the update was).
I did a test run with a mobile size (it takes over an hour when I share with iDVD, which has been annoying with all my attempts to "fixing") file sharing with media browser and still the sound was not matched.
I started another project alltogether in iMovie and it does not have the sound issue when sent to iDVD....
I can copy and paste the more difficult editing I did between the "bad original copy" and my "do-over"... but, it seems to not copy exact length of each clip (it decreased it by a second each clip on the ones I copied over but that is weird since it did copy over the slowed % I had on the original) ..... see the more complex editing I have has the sound silenced and I have music overlay on that....
I have many more to go... and can't copy text directly from one project to another... in fact, there is a lot you can't just copy over.... I have to redo the music, special effects etc. This is not going to be a walk in the park if I can't find a way to make my "bad original copy" work.
Still looking for more suggestions (than to start all over), but will have to start over if I spend too much time making the one I have work.... then it becomes more sensical to just start over. I have quite a bit of time in the original, but if I can copy and paste the clips, that takes a majority of the work out.... but, if any of my copy and pastes somehow "corrupt" the sound sync on the portion that isn't silenced and music overlaid, then, there is a lot of work having to recreate all my edits from scratch.

Severely distorted mic sound in video chat

Hello,
I am running video chat (http://chatroulette.com/). Some users are complaining that other users hear them in a distorted way.
In particular, they are mentioning that their voice sounds much lower than it should be and is unrecognisable.
Here are examples of feedback I receive from users:
1.
I used to have no problems talking with other people on Chatroulette, but now people say I sound like "darth vader" and that my sound is severely distorted. I am using a Macbook ProOSX version 10.6.8 and I have tried updating my flash player, playing around with the sounds on preferences, along with other things and nothing works. Is there something I should be doing to fix the problem?
2.
I've been using you guys for fun for well over a year. I have a Windows 7 64 bit machine and Microsoft . Lately sometimes people I connect to complain that I have bad sound. I have heard it on a occasion and it the sound is halved in frequency and sounds like Darth Vader. I think this is a Chatroulette/Flash sound codec issue, as I don't have these issues with Skype or anywhere else. I hope you look into it, as it is not good. You can always email me for more information. Oh yes, sometimes I also but not also use ManyCam.
Please help.
3.
I have a problem when I use your website. I check my mic and it sounds fine, but then I check it again, and it sounds like I'm 2 octaves lower and doing a darth vader voice. People can't understand me. Can you help me out?
4.
The sound on my computer randomly started screwing up. People say that my voice sounds like Darth Vader. It's always really deep. It just randomly happened one day. It is happening on my Mac and my roommates PC. How do we fix it. We've tried messing with the settings but nothing works. Why is it doing that? Thanks!
Many users have started to complain about this problem since beginning of 2012, and they didn't do that before.
Please fix the issue.
Thanks,
Andrey
P.S:
I have posted this bug to Adobe BugBase here:
https://bugbase.adobe.com/index.cfm?event=bug&id=3321914

This worked for me!
To install and use an alternate version of Flash Player:
Download and install the appropriate system plug-in. This plug-in could be a debugger, prerelease, or release version of Flash Player. (Archived release versions of the system plug-in are found here.)
Type “about:plugins” (without quotation marks) into the address bar at the top of a Chrome browser window.
Click “Details” at the upper-right corner of the page.
Find the “Flash” (or “Shockwave Flash”) listing for the integrated plug-in on the page and click the corresponding “Disable” button. To identify the integrated plug-in, see the table of plug-in filenames above.
Find the “Flash” (or “Shockwave Flash”) listing for the system plug-in on the page and click the corresponding “Enable” button. To identify the system plug-in, see the table of plug-in filenames above.
Close all Chrome windows and restart the browser.
Chrome uses the installed system plug-in. To confirm the version of Flash Player that is currently running in your browser, see Find Flash Player version (tn_15507).
Essentially just disable any flash plug in under the /chrome folder, and only enable the
/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/Flash Player.plugin
plug in!
Hope this helps!

No sound on video cature (fx5200-vtd128)

Does anybody know how to add sound to the video-in?
I'm watching the video from the MSI Media Center Deluxe II. There is just no sound.
My soundcard is a soundblaster128.
Ports include:
line-in
microphone
line-out (front) jack
auxiliary in\line out (rear) jack

ME VERY STUPID.
I tried both the Line-In & Mic ports before I posted.
Unfortunately, I didn't try looking to see if the plug was in the audio out on the back of the VCR. the plug must have come loose.
Now I have the VCR sound coming over my PC speakers, but i seem to be having problems with MSI Media Center Deluxe II.
I was able to save 2 video recordings. After that, I go to record and it asks me for what I want to name it, but the clip never appears in the list.
I also cant figure out a way to delete the 2 previously saved recordings.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The sound and video become unsynchronized when the off-line recording was created.

Hello,
I recorded a 1.30 hour meeting by using Adobe Connect. I want to edit the file and split in small time. So I save the recording in local by clicking "Make Offline". When I play back the file from local, the sound and video become unsynchronized.
Any idea and how to sort it out.
Thanks in advance,
Nicho

As I recall, there is an issue with Windows 8 and the offline recording function. Not sure if you are using Windows 8, but it may be worth trying to do it on another computer.
However, before you go down that road, know that the FLV versions of the meeting recordings are notoriously difficult to edit. If you don't need to have the recordings in a different format, I would recommend that you do the following instead (will be much faster overall).
Take the URL for your meeting recording and add /output/YourNameHere.zip?download=zip. You can name the zip file whatever you want. This will pull the recording source files down to your local computer. Next, browse to a desired location in your Content library in Connect and re-upload that zip file. You can name it whatever you want, and even create a custom URL for it. Once it is uploaded you will have a second version of the same recording on your server. Just re-upload that zip file as many times as needed. You can then edit each version of the recording separately, allowing you to create as many versions of the recording as needed.

Bad sound after updating

Bad sound after updating

Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
Check your settings. The iPads have a small switch on the right edge. It can be used as a rotation lock to keep the screen from automatically reorienting itself as you move around, but you need to have the tablet’s settings configured properly. That same switch, right above the volume buttons, can also be set to function instead as a mute button to silence certain types of audio.
If the switch is set to work as a mute button, you can change its purpose to “screen-rotation lock” by tapping the Settings icon on the home screen. On the Settings screen, tap General on the left side, and on the right side of the screen flick down to “Use Side Switch to.” Tap to select Lock Rotation or Mute to set the button’s function. Even if you set the side switch for your preferred use, you can still mute the Mini or lock the screen. Just double-click the Home button, and when the panel of apps appears along the bottom edge of the screen, flick the row from left to right with your finger. Tap the icon on the far left side of the row to either lock the iPad’s screen or mute the iPad’s alerts, notifications and sound effects. Music, podcasts and video are not muted unless you turn the volume all the way down.

Keepin original sounds of videos

I just did my first DVD movie br using various video clips from my digital camera. I also added a music track. However, I am not able to hear the sounds of the video recordings
When I play the mini movie I made I can only hear the sound track
How can I hear both music and original sounds?
thanks

you can change the colume of each track individually. When you are looking at the timeline as opposed to the clip viewer, if you click on the particular (audio or video) clip there is a window at the bottom that says "clip voume" and you can adjust the slider to a better volume.
I usually have music down in the 20s so that the audio from the video can be heard.

Can a MacBook (Early 2008) Support both sound and video to 1080p HDTV by Mini-DVI to HDMI cable?

Can a MacBook (Early 2008) Support both sound and video to 1080p HDTV by Mini-DVI to HDMI cable?

The mini dvi on the MacBook will only support video, in order to get audio you'll need to a cable from the sound out port to the sound in port on the TV.

How do you get sound and video from a macbook pro (before 2010) onto a 2010 toshiba 40" tv?

Any help on connecting a macbook pro (late 2009) to a 2010 toshiba 40" for both sound and video? I have the mini-hdmi cable, but have no idea about running sound through the tv. I can use the headphone jack, but don't know where to connect it to on the back of the tv. Am I supposed to change any settings on the tv or computer to allow the sound to go through the tv? thanks for any help.

You need a stereo mini to RCA break out cable.

Is it possible to get a refund if i bought an album with extremely bad sound quality?

As asked in the title, is it possible to get a refund if i bought an album with extremely bad sound quality?
I am very unsatisfied with my latest purchase of the album "Never take ffriendship personal" by "Anberlin" ...
I can find all the songs in much better quality, even on YouTube ...
I bought two other albums by Anberlin at the same time, on which the sound quality is much much better and perfectly clear.
is it possible to get some sort of refund ???

Does anyone know a video converter to convert Internet video recordings. Its in an IVR file, I can get it to work on real player on a widows but cant get it to work on my mac.

Does anyone know a video converter for a video file for internet video recordings. IVR file. I can get it to work on real player on my windows but can not open it on my mac.

Try downloading and using VLC. It is a very popular media player that plays just about every file format out there. That way you would not need to convert it.
