Anyone else have this problem?


In the last few weeks, I?ve noticed that maybe 30-40% of the tracks on my iphone have started to sound not right


At this point, anyone with a beef about apple, iphones, MP3, digital music generally needs to start another thread because this isn?t the one!


By ?not right? I mean volume seems about 50% of what it should be. Vocals have retreated to the background. A general light smear of muffle over the whole sound


If I play the same track via spotify it?s absolutely fine ?so I?m ruling out my phone connector or headphones


The affected tracks were playing fine until recently ? and it?s not the album master as some tracks on same album don?t have the problem


I get it on both MP3 and AAC files so it?s not format specific either


The remaining 60-70% of tracks on the phone play just fine but the problem is affecting more of them every week


It sounds odd and I?ve googled it and I get a sense it is a new problem which is affecting a few people but so far not enough for anyone to be able to help or take it seriously so I thought I?d try here

Possibly a problem with IOS 7.0.3 if you have recently upgraded..


Seems a common problem


DulwichFox.


PS. Might affect different songs. ie. Louder songs might be subjected to attenuation whilst quieter

songs not be affected thus maintaining a constant volume level.

"By ?not right? I mean volume seems about 50% of what it should be. Vocals have retreated to the background. A general light smear of muffle over the whole sound "


my iphone has been doing EXACTLY this fairly recently but I discovered it during voice calls not when playing music (altho I expect same thing will occur if I do). Does that happen to you during calls as well? the muffled volume thing like they are really really far away?


Really bloody annoying as at first I thought it was due to the other caller on a bad line. But its not that..sorry, not helpful as I have no idea how to fix it.

Found it.


Eq was off


Sound limit was off too


But what's this? "sound check". A feature which is meant to prevent sounds from being too jarring from others.


Never seen it before so obviously a recent ios addition. Turned off and I'm hearing what I should be hearing


Foxy came closest. But cheers all

and of course the lineout bypasses all that stuff.

Am putting my ipod through a musical fidelity DAC and it sounds excellent (rather than music played from beyond the mortal coil)


maybe something like this for on the hop? http://www.fostexinternational.com/docs/products/HP-P1.shtml

    • The solicitor is also the Executor. Big mistake, but my Aunt was very old, and this was the Covid years and shortly after so impossible to intervene and get a couple of close relatives to do this.  She had no children so this is the nephews and nieces. He is a single practitioner, and most at his age would have long since retired - there is a question over his competence Two letters have already gone essentially complaining - batted off and 'amusingly' one put the blame on us. There are five on our side, all speaking to each other, and ideally would work as a single point of contact.  But he has said that this is not allowed - we've all given approval to act on each others behalf. There are five on her late husband's side, who have not engaged with us despite the suggestion to work as a team, There is one other, who get's the lion's share, the typicical 'friend', but we are long since challenging the will. I would like to put another complaint together that he has not used modern collective communication (I expect that he is incapable) which had seriously delayed the execution of the will.   I know many in their 80s very adept with smart phones so that is not an ageist comment. The house has deteriorated very badly, with cold, damp and a serious leak.  PM me if you want to see the dreadful condition that it is now in. I would also question why if the five of us are happy to work together why all of us need to confirm in writing.            
    • Isn’t a five yearly electricity safety certificate one of the things the landlord must give for a legal tenancy?
    • Very sorry to hear this, but surely the landlord is responsible for fixing the electrics?  Surely they must be insured for things like this? I hope you get it all sorted out quickly.
