Terrible sound quality of MP3s on new 4 GB Fuze

Just bought a new 4Gb player fuse.

FM radio sounds good but each MP3 sounds terrible. :-(  They sound very hail & his singing as they are under water.

-J' loaded the latest firmware on it.

-J' tried a different variety of MP3 files with speed/quality levels.  Many of them sounded fine on an older iRiver.

-J' played with the different equalizer settings.

Any ideas?  If there is nothing easy, go back to the store soon.

Unplug your headphones, and plug them push HARD and back in! The "rocket" has a very tight helmet, and it could play a role. My guess is that the FM is fine because the headphones are on the air.

  • Satellite P105-S6024 and terrible sound quality

    The sound quality on this laptop was very bad for some time.

    I tried all of the updates and drivers more recent download from Toshiba Web site without success, including latest conexant driver, which seems to be 2007. . . . I use XP/SP3. For a system that is supposed to have good sound quality, with harmon kardon speakers, it's frustrating because it is inaudible. The cracks of sounds, pop, is intermittent, is static and just is generally quite poor.

    There is not a problem with the volume, just the terrible sound quality any thoughts would be appreciated.

    Hello

    I see you are using the Windows XP which was not preinstalled by Toshiba.
    I think that this laptop came with the Windows Vista operating system.

    Have you noticed the same sound quality by using the Windows Vista operating system?
    I think you should check this.

    If the noise would do better to use the Vista then it might be a problem of sound driver.
    I found another audio driver Conexant for Win XP. I use this one:

  • LifeChat LX-3000 sound quality is terrible on Windows 7

    I use this headset LifeChat LX 3000 for a few years now, and they were flawless until I upgraded to Windows 7. I did all the obvious things as updated my drivers and sound cards, and the headset is my default device for recording and playback. Yet for some reason any there is a noise of cracking/static terrible and constant in the background when the helmet is not cut. I thought that this could be due to the headset within a few years, I went to Best Buy and purchased a whole new game. Yet, with the new headphones, the sound quality is just as bad. I have really no idea what could cause cracking and the static, so any suggestions would be appreciated.

    Note: I have uninstalled/reinstalled the helmet a few times, which did not help.

  • Quality of the terrible sound on Satellite L50 - has

    I just bought a new L50 - A Satellite, and despite the reviews I found saying that the speakers are great and the quality must be really good, all the audio that I played on it was really intestine and of poor quality.
    Does anyone have ideas why this would be, or how to fix it?

    Play with the equalizer helped a bit, but it's still very far from perfect. It's the same Internet and iTunes, and with the speakers and headphones, so those are both excluded.

    > Play with the equalizer helped a bit, but it's still very far from perfect.

    The Satellite series L50 - A comes preinstalled with DTS® Sound software.

    This software can be used to improve the sound quality.

  • The weird sound quality with backlight Fuze and mp3 VBR

    Hello world

    I got my Sansa Fuze (firmware 01.01.11F) 2 weeks and I have noticed a weird problem:

    When I'm playing some VBR mp3 files, the duration is not displayed correctly. Files of start playing very well, but when the backlight of the screen gets off (settings I tried different time, show all the same problem), the sound quality deteriorates strongly. These are mp3 files that I ripped directly from audio CD, samples are available on request.

    Has anyone else had this problem?

    Kind regards

    Soenke

    The question is under development.  Lower rate VBR can trigger the processor at a slower pace, the origin of the problem.  If the backlight is on, there is more work for her, and the rate increases.  The noise disappears.

    The decline in the rate increases the battery time.  This problem will be resolved in a future firmware version.

  • Bad sound quality

    I've been using Apple music on Android since last year and I also tested all the main services continuously looking for the one that fits for me. Here are my comments.

    Positive:

    1. the interface is pretty good
    2. playback of gapless albums works very well for me, a lot of competitors have problems with it, and it was important for me
    3 integration of own files works fine on my Xperia Z5, I had problems with this on Z1 Compact

    Negative:

    Sound quality. It is bad or even terrible, depending on the type of music. I don't think it's a matter of encoding. I think that Apple music flows in 256 kbps AAC (is this correct?), competitor g. MP3 320 kbps and 320 kbps OGG competitor s., I think. Thus, the difference in practice should be negligible, I think. But there is a huge difference in the listening experience.

    I use a Sony Z5 and headphones MDR-1ABT, which is quite a decent facility, and I love the sound of the G or S. The look is fantastic, bass is large and acute lovely, dynamic range is excellent. If I activate it Department HX from Sony on the phone that there is even better, it makes you go "wow". Everything just fantastic.

    Listening to the music of Apple experience is just the opposite. It looks like little in 1990s FM radio, the sound is extremely stable compared to G or S., the bass is very low, not sharp, flat. The application does not meet the parameters of its Android, there is therefore no equalizer and no HX Department. I can't listen to music of Apple for more than 15-20 minutes, when we know the sound quality of G or S, it's just not nice.

    Competitor T has the same question or 'feature' - the sound of Android settings are not respected by the app.

    So my question is, are there plans to fix it in the next release or 1.0, or should I rather build my playlists elsewhere? It will respect the sound of Android settings, like Equalizer / Clear Audio / Department HX? I like Apple interface and feel better and prefer to continue my subscription to Apple's music, but I can't stand the sound flat...

    See you soon

    Tom

    It seems very per device, Apple music on my HTC a M7 sound worse than my friends Samsung Galaxy that sounds like my iPhone.

    saying that Spotify does the same thing but google music sounds amazing...

  • Equium A110-233 bad sound quality

    Hi all, please can someone help,

    I recently bought a satellite A110-233 and the sound quality is terrible (I am aware that there is a conrtol of volume on the front of the laptop until someone asks ;-))

    I played around with all the settings including the Tru-Surround options and via the internal speaker volume level is very low, even though unfortunately this isn't my main concern. The main reason I bought the laptop was to use as the source for the reading of the media through my Hi-Fi and TV channel. When I connect to my stereo using a socket type of headphone 3.5 mm headphone output on decision-making for the twin RCA inputs on my system audio is absolutely appalling. The volume is very low and there is no depth to the sound and absolutely NOT that it's low.

    I tried to play the same files on the other half cell and the output is absolutely fine.

    I tried to download a new copy of the audio driver and install that. I also tried a full format of the laptop and reinstall windows from zero (not from the appropriate disk recovery, but since the windows CD), still no joy.

    Please please can someone help me because I can't use my system for what I bought it for!

    Thank you all

    Hello

    Hmmm, I'm not an owner Equium A110 and so I can't give you a professional opinion on this problem.
    For me it is not easy to tell if it is a hardware/software problem, or if it is simply a sound quality.

    In any case... I noticed several discussions here in the forum about bass on laptops Satellite A100 and a person has provided a solution.

    According to several messages try to delete or to rename the files RTHDAEQ0. DAT and RTHDAEQ1. DAT.
    You should find these files in the C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\ folder

    But it is a solution of A100 series and I don't know if it helps on an A110.
    However, test it and please report results... It is interesting to me

  • Yoga 10 - Very poor Bluetooth sound quality

    Hello

    I bought roughly the new Yoga 10 Tablet. Now, I wanted to use it with headphones and bluetooth speakers and noticed that the sound quality is quite poor. As the treble's strange artifacts in it. Pretty hard to explain but the sound is very audible lower both helmet and taken my old Tablet even to untrained ears. It's kind of compareable to a low bitrate MP3, although not quite difficult to explain.

    So far, I've tried connecting the load from JBL, Bose Soundlink Mini and a bluetooth headset from noname to the Yoga 10 Tablet and * ALL * have poor sound quality.

    Now the funny thing. When I connect audio devices bluetooth mentioned to my old Tablet (Lifetab E10310) or my phone (Galaxy Nexus) is by one of my windows device, there isn't * no. * problem with the sound quality. Yes I know bluetooth audio is compressed, but given the 10 Yoga produces its largely inferior to other devices the problem is clearly the tablet of Yoga of course from the same material. No difference if high sound quality on the map microSD or spotify.

    It is pretty much useless for listening to music via bluetooth.

    All suggestions greatly appreciated.

    Ok. Returned Tablet - problem solved. Sort of.

    I deffinately need an Android based Tablet, but it seems so difficult to find a good. I did not have high hardware demands and that Yoga 10 seems to do the trick and it was affordable too. However, it's a software has been total failure and I didn't want to exceed my return period to see if it matches Lenovo to solve problems. So now the hunt of another brand, but seems difficult. All have a major fault one way or another and if nothing else then on the battery life. Well. May be another couple of months with my Junk old Tablet and then the market will freeze. There was a glaring lack of introduction of beautiful tablets without major flaws for like a year or more (GPS might not be necessary, but a lot of apps that really just use google locationservice scored misunderstandably GPS as required, and as such it will install these apps via played googple - bad luck).

  • Best sound quality (Fuze / Clip / Clip +)

    Hi people,

    I want to buy a new mp3 player for my Um1 receiver, but I'm not the one who got the best sound quality. In the internet, I searched a lot of comments on these mp3 players.

    For example;

    http://www.Trustedreviews.com/MP3/review/2008/06/22/SanDisk-Sansa-fuze/P1

    Sound quality: 6

    Sound quality: 7

    I'll listen to rap/hip hop titles. EQ must be good.

    Please tell me your thoughts.

    Thank you

    Fuze and Clip sound identical, which is very good if you have a well balanced helmet (do not use the custom EQUALIZER does not work good EQ...). I did not have the chance to hear a Clip +, but I guess that sounds pretty much the same as the other two.

  • Poor sound quality - Dell Inspiron 15 77537

    Hi all

    I recently bought a Dell Inspiron 15 7537 i7-4510U, 16.6 "Touch. It had Windows 8.1 in it.

    It works great so far, aside from a BIG problem - the quality of audio playback is terrible.

    When I try to listen to music, I mean hardly any lower-end (or bass). I tried different equipment different buffering - my Sony stereo, as well as, the Beats Pro - the two dissapointing headphones gave results. For example, the same file played on my iPod sounds a LOT better that it does on my new Dell Inspiron. It is similarly for the same YouTube video playback on another computer using the same headset. It seems that all the other equipment (a laptop, iPod, iPhone) all seem the same and much better my Inspiron.

    The audio drivers are up to date (they were automatically selected depending on my model on dell.com). I also tried to change the equalizers on Realtek sound card settings. I noticed the difference, but all the options always leads to a much lower sound quality older compared to my laptop (which I'm sure that has default settings, that I never had no problem with the audio quality).

    Anyone have an idea how I can solve the problem? I heard that Windows 8.1 on some laptops may have some problems with its low-end, would this be the case? My most old laptop also uses Windows 8.1, just as the PC fixed, so I doubt it personally. Is it possible that this could be a manufacturing fault in the sound card?

    Any ideas how I can fix the sound quality are very popular.

    Kind regards
    Marius

    P.S. This is my first post here, so please be nice haha. Thank you!

    Hello. Try changing to the native Windows audio driver:

    1. open Device Manager (type devmgmt.msc in the search box).
    2. develop the 'audio controllers, video & game' and right click on "Realtek High Definition Audio".
    3 Select this option to "Update driver software".
    4. click on "Browse my computer for driver software".
    5. click on "Let Me pick from a list of drivers on my computer".
    6. put the "Show compatible hardware" check box if not already checked.
    7. in the list of devices, click on 'High Definition Audio"(native driver).
    8. click on "next".
    9. in the update driver warning box, click 'Yes' (the driver).
    10 restart the portable computer if you are prompted. If not invited, so no need to restart.
    [To return to the Realtek driver, do it again but reverse the names in steps 1-6.]

    Is there still no bass then it could be a hardware problem, and for this you need to contact technical support. Make sure that the EQ in your music player (such as Windows Media Player) is set to normal. Also when comparing to other devices playback, all their eq and other improvements should be on flat, trying to compare apples with apples as much as possible.

  • Headphone Sound quality soundproof with no. beat all of a sudden

    Hi, a few days ago, I started my laptop (Toshiba C855) to listen to music through my headphones (which I do every day), and the sound quality was terrible, really choked with no background of graves and so bad, I couldn't distinguish the songs that were played (by any platform such as Spotify Youtube, Windows MP etc.). I t have the headphones off to a repair shop, but they couldn't find the problem is obviously an internal problem. I have tried many headphones that all work on other devices, I've updated, uninstalled and reinstalled Realtek, I've updated all the drivers, everything set to default settings... I've tried everything. I should also mention that the actual Laptop speakers are fine, and when I have my headphones in is also a rattling lingering in the background.

    I also noticed that when I tried to solve the problem on Realtek in Event Viewer, it is said that there were 2 events present that day, I started having these problems, which has said the following:

    Driver management concluded the process to install the driver hdxsrsa.inf_amd64_ab5f4adfb36998fd\hdxsrsa.inf for the Instance ID of device HDAUDIO\FUNC_01 & VEN_10EC & DEV_0269 & SUBSYS_1179FB31 & REV_1002\4 & 846037E & 0 & 0001 with the following status: 0x0.

    I do not know if these are what are the cause of the problem, or if it's something else, but I'd be grateful if someone could help me because I have never had a problem like this in the 3 years I've had this laptop, cheers

    Alan Reddy

    Since it seems that there is a new driver installed, I would roll back to the previous driver had no problem.  Click on start and run control RSTRUI.exe and then chose the day, the driver has been installed and go back to the hour or the day prior to that.

  • Problems with the sound quality poor or distorted, watching Youtube videos

    Hello

    For these last days, I had a very annoying problem with playback of youtube videos since getting the latest update to Adobe Flash Player. The sound quality while watching videos is just terrible. Depending on whether it's a song with a lot of bass, singing or just commented video distortion is different. It's a craking, static-y sound, like a badly tuned radio in some cases. A few videos, in particular with certain frequencies of sound as I have said, can be a highly distorted.

    I've been quite well, with audio all around perfect before you accept the update. I didn't place Adobe Flash as the cause for a while, but after eliminting causes so many others, Adobe Flash, that's what I feel, that's the problem. All other audio sources on my computer are not yet perfectly (iTunes, MP3, MP4, etc.), it's just youtube.  I also tried other sites such as Vimeo videos I thought running with flash as well and really did not notice the distortion, but also I can't find a perfect video comparison, so I really can't be sure and do not want to exclude them. YouTube is the only one I can say absolutely not is affected badly. I checked my firefox Plugins and the Shockwave Flash plugin is indeed turned on. It happens also, regardless if I have a video to youtube with Firefox or IE. And one final note, I'm the administrator of this computer and the only user.

    I run Windows 7 64 bit

    I use Firefox as my main web browser.

    I have the latest update of Adobe Flash (11.2.202.228).

    I use a laptop Toshiba M645-S4070.

    Intel i5 processor

    4 GB of ram

    Realtek High Definition (I think that it is the sound card)

    I searched through discussions both here, on assistance from microsoft, and through google search in general try to resolve this and nothing has worked.

    I tried uninstalling and reinstalling, with and without restarting the computer complete between the facilities/unistalations, update my sound card drivers, check and disable my firewall during installation, installation offline, have some audio enhancement of course checked was leaving (right-click on the youtube video > settings).

    I'm really at a loss, and it can be painful to use youtube now as things. Also, if I need to post more information my computer please tell, since I'm not very knowlagable how to get specifications more than what I posted.

    Hope someone can help, thanks.

    I had the same bug with its bad, especially on scraps of bass-heavy sounds, but I found a job nearby

    Click Start-> Control Panel-> Flash Player-> advanced

    I deleted all of the "data and Site settings.

    Sound is back to normal now.

    I hope that helps!

  • Fixing Terrible sounding audio first CS5.5

    Hello

    One of my clients has downloaded some audio on the Internet and gave me to use an editing tool and it sounds terrible. Poor quality, a little crunchy, low base, sounding a bit tinny.

    Anyone have some suggestions on how I would go about fixing this problem? I have the full suite of CS5.5.

    Thank you and I wish you a happy new year!

    As has been mentioned, starting with the sound quality is the key, but there are some things that can be done to "improve" other less than stellar Audio. This ARTICLE covers a part of it.

    The rec. doing audio in Audition is one where I would start. However, while it's a great program, it has same limits. At some point, you will be faced with "diminishing returns", on what can be done to improve the Audio vs how long it takes.

    Good luck
