The headset sounds distant/quiet/distorted sound

Hello..

I recently had this problem with my laptop Windows XP (service pack 2 is). The sound from my headphones sounds quiet, almost as if the noise comes from far away and a little distorted. I had this problem on another computer and unplug the headphones and plugged back in fixed, but that doesn't fix it not on this laptop. Other people had this problem I know not, but solutions that work for them do not work for me. If necessary, I can give more care retail/computer.
Thank you
Zale.

Hello

Sorry for the late reply Zale.

Please provide us with the specifications of the computer such as the motherboard and the sound card if it is internal or external.

Also provide us the information if you have uninstalled and reinstalled the drivers.

As well as information, try these steps from now.

By my speakers is crackling or distorted.

  • Make sure that your speakers are properly connected to your computer.

    Many computers have taken three or more who connect to a sound card or sound processor, including a jack for microphone, line-in jack and line-out. Your speakers should be plugged into the line-out socket. If you don't know what it is, try plugging your speakers to each of the jacks to see if any of them produce the sound.

  • In some cases, you can work around the problem by disabling optional speaker effects that are known as improvements. If the disabling effects speaker resolves the problem, you may need to update your audio driver.

If these steps does not resolve the problem, see the documentation provided with your computer or speakers, or go to the manufacturer's Web site.

  • Satellite Pro U200 - sound to the headset only

    I have a Satellite Pro U200 and I install a Vista. I installed the audio driver, but there is no sound on the speaker just with headphones.

    Maybe the little switch that is placed in the headphone jack doesn't work properly.
    This option controls the output between the headphones and speakers.
    Try to plug and unplug the headset several times. Maybe it works then.

    * Whenever I have headphones or external speakers connected via the 3.5 mm jack plug, sound still comes through the built-in distant.*

    Here's what's happened so far:

    When I plugged the external speakers were first, I was asked to choose if I had plugged a headphone or speakers. I selected "speakers" and then also, perhaps foolishly, choose "do not ask me again".
    Now, I can't to this selection again.

    Here's what I've tried so far:
    -Reboot
    -Try different headphones, try them on other devices
    -System Restore (not, for some reason any)
    -all settings via the sound control panel

    Basically, I think that I am looking for a way to disable the internal ATAPI Jack when the external Jack 3.5 mm is used.

  • I have no sound via the USB plug in the headset. But I do get sound by analog means. Everything takes? s

    I get no sound through my USB plug in the headset. But I do get sound by analog channel on my set of speakers. Everything takes?

    I would check the Manager devices to see if all your sound drivers are installed and working.  Click Start, right-click computer, and click Properties.  Then click on Device Manager.  If none of the entries have exclamation points or question marks, you need to get a Windows 7 compatible driver for them.

    I hope this helps.  Good luck.

  • No sound when the headset is plugged into the audio input jack

    When I plugged headphones into the audio jack, there is no sound.  The noise comes from the internal speakers.  I just installed System Mechanic and ran a system of analysis.  I don't know if the registry has been changed or what.  It is not a problem with the headphones; I tried another helmet and have the same problem.  The phone detects the headset, an icon in the Notifications area saying that a device has been connected.

  • Do not hear sound on the speakers of the laptop when the headset is connected

    Hello, I have laptop Alienware14 with windows 7. I hear the sound very well on the speakers of the laptop, but when I plug my headphones, I can't get sound in the headphones and not on the speakers of the laptop. For example, I want to be able to use the headset to talk to people (like Skype) while listening to music in the speakers of the laptop in the game I play. My old laptop Inspiron does that very well, but it won't. Any suggestions on this... a framework that I did put right or something?

    Thanks for any help you can give me!

    Laptops that have its IDT have a framework for "Helmet of Communications". Which allows communication as Skype through the helmet, while the regular audio continues through the speakers.

    However the 14 Alienware has audio Realtek who doesn't have this feature, I think.

  • System seems to be stuck in the Surround sound Mode (see details)

    All of a sudden my system Windows 7 has started to exhibit strange audio - voices have been muted and sound effects were strong and echo-ey.  Speech on the occasion of the AVI movies was virtually inaudible.

    Then I tested MP3s and FLAC audio.  The same his warbly occurred during playback.

    I uninstalled VLC (video) player and MediaMonkey (audio) and reinstalled each.  No change.

    I read online her similar reports when your system is configured for Surround sound and you only have stereo speakers.

    I checked HER in my control panel and ensured he just be set to stereo.  Tested the L & R speakers and noise of default fanfare played very well.

    I uninstalled and reinstalled all audio devices and drivers in the control panel.  No change.

    THEN I discovered exactly the same sound problem on my partition of Linux Ubuntu 11.10.

    I completely reinstalled my operating system to Windows 7.  The problem remains.

    This suggests that this was not a request or a driver problem - I think it could be a hardware problem?

    The problem occurs during playback of any whatsoever by my digital-to-analog converter or directly from the headphone jack of my PC.

    The difficulty even in the two operating systems and through all the audio outputs (both helmet Realtec AC 97 PC and starting from CAD)

    Problem solved!

    The constant all my diagnosis was good Sennheiser studio monitors I was listening through.  (My floorspeakers of 814v of focal length would be much too strong for my apartment.)  Turns on (laugh all you like), the cable had become slightly disconnected from the headset!  Pushed him to, all better!

  • Can you turn off the shutter sound on the factory unlocked iPhone to the Japan 7?

    Can you turn off the shutter sound on the factory unlocked iPhone to the Japan 7?

    I am going to Japan November 2016 and plan to buy unlocked (no sim) iphone to use in my country (Thailand) 7.

    However, I have read some post on 'mode of politeness' in Japanese phone but the conclusion is not clear whether you can disable shutter sound (without sim) unlocked iphone 7 or not. Then, someone could share on the current situation?

    Thank you

    No, its required by Japanese law shutter. Even if the iPhone is

    is no longer in Japan, you will not be able to turn off the shutter sound.

    You should also check with the seller to be sure you can get the

    iPhone unlocked from the Japanese wireless provider to use with your

    carrier in Thailand. And check that the iPhone is unlocked before leaving the

    retailer.

  • GarageBand wasn't able to install the new sounds

    I'm under GarageBand 10.1.2 & OS X El Capitan 10.11.6 on a Macbook Pro 13 retina "(2016).

    A couple of weeks, that I have installed additional drummers with no problems. I noticed, however, that many of the sounds in the sound library had an icon to download next to them; so I went to the GarageBand menu, option "Sound Library / download all the available sounds" and they begin to download immediately. Most of them have installed fine (and is still usable), but at some point the download has stopped and a window appeared with the message "GarageBand wasn't able to install the new sounds. Close and re-open GarageBand to download and install again. »

    Since then, whenever I open GarageBand, downloading continues automatically, but after a few minutes I get the same annoying message.

    I searched the Internet and tried all the following without success:

    (1) closed and reopened GarageBand

    (2) given in market system

    (3) delete the folder "/ private/var/folders/lq/nb_0wt4d1zq5rs933745flww0000gn ' and all its contents

    (4) remove the "user/Library/Caches" folder and all its contents

    (5) the latest version of Java from Oracle (update version 8 101 - build 1.8.0_101 - b13)

    I always feel the same frustrating lock when I open GarageBand (download starts and after a while it stops and the error message shows up again... and again once).

    I've included some screenshots on this post below, which illustrate the issue.

    Thanks in advance for any help you can provide me with!

    Just to be sure - you have enough free storage to install all the new sounds? The instrument only GarageBand library has 14GB on my Mac.

    Until you try to install the sounds still launch the Console application and look for messages of diagnosis in the Console, when GarageBand gives the error message.  Are there clues, all messages associated with GarageBand in the Console window?

    Sometimes third part applications or incompatible system additions could cause this kind of problem, as firewall and antivirus software, for example, Little Snitch or Kaperski. If you have any of these installed, disable it before attempting to download the software.

    To prevent the non-standard extensions system to interfere, restart the Mac in Mode safe, before you try to install again, see: try safe mode if your Mac does not commissioning - Apple Support
