Sound Issues My music is downloaded. Brand New batter, it won't turn the volume up, it doesn't leave setting zero. It also won't let me switch to a different songs, it stays on the same one and it shows the song as playing, but no sound! Help!

One thing to check is the ringer volume - by default you can change the ringer volume using the volume controls on the side of the phone even when the phone is locked - this often means that it can get pressed in your pocket to zero volume, which is very annoying. Try pressing the volume up button from the home screen while not playing any music and see if it goes up. You can set the volume in the settings and even tell the buttons to only change music volume, which is what I do.

Hi, I am answering this generically, because there are a few things that can cause this on a lot of keyboards.

1. Make sure there are no headphones connected. I have removed headphones and the 3.5mm plug comes out leaving the adaptor, this still cuts the speakers.
2. Sometimes the switch on the headphone socket does not make properly, work the headphone jack in and out a few times.
3. Local MIDI should be set to ON, if you cannot find this, as it is often buried in some deep menu, link MIDI out to MIDI in with a cable.
4. Do a reset, be careful as some restore factory defaults and you will lose user presets, so back up, MIDI dump first, others allow resets that do not affect the voices.
5. connect to your usual software (sequencer, patch librarian, etc) and see if the keyboard has been muted, volume set to zero etc.
6. Is the volume knob turned up?

All the best, Chris the fader.

Windows Media Center is the home entertainment hub on a Windows computer.

With Media Center, you can play live television, songs, DVDs and slideshows.

It is preinstalled on Windows XP Media Center Edition, Windows Vista Home Premium/Ultimate Edition and Windows 7 Home Premium, Professional, Enterprise and Ultimate editions.

From time to time, users run into issues trying to play audio or video files, or with an extender connected to Media Center.

Extenders are devices that allow you to "extend" the Media Center onto a TV screen or larger display. The Xbox 360 gaming console is an example of an extender.

Launch Windows Media Center from your computer's Start menu.

Scroll down to "Music" on the Media Center home screen.

Select "Music library."

If you find an empty folder under "Music Library," navigate to the folder on your hard drive that stores your music file and add it to Media Center's library.

If the problem isn't an empty folder, look at the file extension on the music file that won't play. Media Center can't play files with unknown or incompatible extensions.

If you find a questionable extension, skip that file. Click once on another file with a different extension, one you know is compatible with Media Center, and then click "Open" to test if you can play that one.

Media Center will play MP3, CDA, WAV and other music file formats.

Open Windows Media Player from the Start menu if you receive a codec error while trying to play either audio or video files.

If you open the file in Media Player, the codec will download automatically.

You should then be able to play the file in Media Center.

Troubleshoot your firewall settings if a Media Center extender doesn't work.

You'll have a problem using an extender if Windows Firewall blocks it.

Go to "Control Panel" from the Start menu and double-click on "Windows Firewall."

Click on "Allow a program or feature through Windows Firewall." Click to check "Media Center Extenders." Click on "Apply."

Check external speaker cables to make sure they're connected if you can't hear any sound. Check the computer's volume settings by clicking on the "VOL+" icon at the bottom right corner of the main Media Center screen to make sure the volume is not turned off or down too low.

You may need to reconfigure your speakers if you're having volume or sound issues.

Scroll down to "Tasks" in the Media Center home screen and select "Settings."

Click on "General" and select "Windows Media Center Setup." Click on "Set Up Your Speakers." Follow the on-screen prompts to reconfigure your speakers.

and you should run the chkdsk utilty

You could run the chkdsk disk utility

click start run type cmd then type chkdsk/r/f which will scan for and attempt to repair any bad sectors and automatically fix any corrupt files on your hard drive

or an easier way i have found to run the chkdsk utility

click start control panel administrative tools computer management ,disk management right click on your drive select properties click tools you should see click check now click start two boxes

automatically fix files and scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors place then a tick in both boxes then select check now,start should schedule this task when restart

have no input while the chkdsk utility is in progress any input may further damage your computers operating system and hard drive.

hope this helps

This is not a powered mixer and so you must connect a power amp to the "line level" outputs of the mixer. Other "no output" problems could be related to buss assignments and other signal routing issues. Check for output by connecting "Main Out" left or right to a guitar amp input instead BUT turn all volumes down to zero before conductiong this test as guitar amps are designed for "Microphone" level inputs. Owners and Hookup manuals can be found here...

I have a similar problem where I hear low sound (music or tv) even after maxing the volume. Have you tried doing a test tone for all speakers and see if it 'temporarily' resolves the problem. I bought this system brand new since 2005 and this is the first sound issues I am dealing with. What works for me is when I shut it down and unplug it for a minute or so...it resumes operating normally! If you come across a permanent solution, please share and I will do the same. Tks.

Brand new? Take it for warranty repair IMMEDIATELY... don't mess with it !!!

The only thing for you to check is that you did not turn on "STANDBY" as this shuts down the power amp and the capacitors will bleed off and sound will fade. Try switch in both states before complaining

ONLY use the amp in STANDBY for a brief period (20 seconds) to let the tubes warm up... Leaving in STANDBY for a long period straains the input filter capacitor. If you are done with using the amp, turn it off...

Turn on Ipod, on the left hand side there is a volume control switch. While you are on a song, hold the top of the volume control switch to increase the volume.
If that does not work then touch "settings", then touch "music" and make sure your "Volume Limit" is set to "Off", if it is not touch "Volume Limit" and set it to "Off".
Please do not forget to rate me

Chances are that it will be something basic

first off check via your control panel then system then hardware that there are no issues pending with any hardware (exclamation mark)

If so that needs to be addressed first and is usually a driver issue.
Seeing as its a new card you should have the driver disc nearby.
In most cases just pup it in a drive and it may auto-start in which case just follow any instructions you are given on screen.

If there were no issues there then there is a good chance you have either a volume control icon or maybe even an icon from the sound card manufacturer either one should let you at the section I would like you to check next.

Right click on either the volume control or any other sound related icon.
either way you should get a volume control option.
Open it ans you should see a list of the sound devices available to you

Make sure that the first for ar set to at least half way and then click OPTIONS. your new sound card should be listed as the first device and any others BELOW it. If thats not the case you need to set it from here to be the first.

try a music CD

I will assume you already plugged in the speakers to the green hole on your sound card and that they are switched on with the volume control turned up a bit.

I can say with a fair amount of certanty that this is the control knob on your guitar, these are fairly cheap and if you have any mechanical ability you can replace it yourself, there will be some soldering involved so if you can't do that I would take it to your local music store and most have some sort of repair department, this shouldn't be a big bill to get fixed.
