low sound on Classic FM and BBC

My Office CQ5304UK behaved immpecably in recent years, but only in the last two weeks has developed a problem with the sound levels.

The sound card is an M - Audio 2496. When I play the Live BBC Radio 3 the level is down to-50 dB on 2496 meters and is of course very low playing through my Tannoy 5A monitors. It is however quite clean and noise and distortion-free.  On another W7/64 office levels are at-20 dB with peaks at-4dB.  This is also the case on another XP machine.

Sources of YouTube read to near 0 dB and all my recordings are at the right level. If I go to the archives of the BBC sites THAT music is at the correct level. It is simply live sound that's not going to. The same problem is with Classic FM live.

I got just this computer I have of course blame the BBC and CFM delivery system!

The CQ is also bad from a Native Instruments KA6 interface levels.

I am really confused!

I managed to get rid of re installed Flash and re installed drivers of 2496, all without effect.

The problem is resolved. It's to do with the Radio Player app on the BBC website.

I do not see how to attach the screenshot for those who want to know enough to go!

Basically, there is a small "speaker" icon Now, I flew over, left and this a dozen times right click in the last week or Yes but she either does nothing or it completely mute.

However, a guy at the forum www.soundonsound.co.uk found that if you "sneak up" on the icon to the right it suddenly gives you a volume control! But! Only while the mouse cursor is in preeeecisely in the right place, twitch and you miss. After a little practice, I was able to adjust the level back to 100% and everything is beautiful and neggerty 20 once more!

One of the guys at sos .co is a grad BBC ex' engineer and even he said he found the stupid and obscure funtion. Some time ago the BBC will display an icon of volume of style "ramp", but those pesky coders SHOULD keep things "better" aren't they!

Thanks to everyone for their contributions and abstaining.

Dave.

  • HP pavilion 2335sw g6: low sound in laptop

    Hello I updated the system into a laptop for windows 10 and I have a low sound after upgrading updated map of its pilot, but it did not help I can't find driver


    I'm sorry that this driver has not worked.

    There is no W10 audio driver for your model.

    Have you tried the W8.1 driver listed on the support page for your laptop?  Install and reboot the PC.

    This package contains the driver that allows Audio IDT high definition (HD) in the notebook models that are running a supported operating system.

    File name: sp59620.exe

    If you've already tried this, unfortunately, I don't have any other suggestions for you to try.

  • Portege R500 - low volume with Win 7 and Realtek driver

    Hello

    I have now installed Windows 7 on my R500 to prepare for the end of Windows XP to life.
    I've experienced this now with Windows 7 sound does not really work.

    Build-in speaker does not work and a speaker connected to the outside with amplifier can get just a little sound in the maximum amplification I googled and saw many people having similar problems.

    Does anyone know if Toshiba has a solution for this?

    Other people with laptop computers Portege have the same problem?

    Thank you
    Markus

    AFAIK the Portege R500 supports Realtek ALC262
    I googled and found some people having problems with low sound volume on other laptops from other manufacturers using the piece ALC262

    But I found the solutions :)

  • Is it possible to play different sounds for the emails and instant messages?

    Hello

    I was wondering if it was possible to play different sounds for the emails and instant messages. I use Thunderbird quite often with emails and instant messages imported from Gtalk.

    I think it would be very convenient to be able to distinguish the two sounds, because they do not involve the same things.

    Thank you very much.

    My problem is about sound.when I put the headphones in my laptop, the sound just two headphones and speakers.
    How can I solve this problem? If can't, I can't use my laptop in attendance.

    Hey,.

    What OS is currently installed on your computer?

    Is the headset itself works because you can listen to the sound with headphones so for now I doubt s a hardware problem

    In any case, perhaps the problem is only linked to its driver and updated it could solve the problem in your case, I would check the Web from Toshiba site to download the latest version.
