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

    • some titles are "protected" ie you have to have certain qualifications and be registered with the supervising council https://www.hcpc-uk.org/about-us/who-we-regulate/the-professions/ Dietician is registered and protected Nutricionist is neither. Anyone can claim to be a nutricionist or chiropracter etc  
    • It didn't occur to me to ask. No idea if dieticians are employed within the NHS. It is just one line of enquiry among others. The GP mentioned it, not me.
    • I thought the most they sell in terms of hot food at londis is like pastries and sausage rolls and for hot drinks its like costa coffee but its always a convenience store. Doesn’t look too bad in my opinion considering that shop has been closed down ever since i moved here
    • Hi Busterb, Yesterday I turned up with a scanner & towels, hoping to take a deceased tabby down to TNV. The body was moved moments before arrival & had not been turned in to any vets, rescues or animal hospitals. I am wondering if this could have been the same cat & if someone just tried to move the tabby further away from the road. Please be warned, viewers discretion is advised. but this is what the deceased tabby looked like: https://www.facebook.com/groups/900015513463302/permalink/3729980853800073/  In any case, if you haven't been able to get someone to scan or take down to a vet, I can scan tomorrow morning.
