Odd iTouch Problem

[Technoob]

I had this problem awhile back, with my Itouch. Every time I connect my ipod to my Computer i have to set all of the EQ settings back. Strange.

Can you show me a screenshot of what your EQ settings are?

Thanks.

Shouldnt be a need for a screenshot. I just have all of my settings at the same level. usually around 0. All 0s is default i think? But as long as they are all at the same place it should sound fine but your problem may differ from mine.

I put it all 0 and unchecked EQ settings, then resetting it.

Still nothing... aghh oh well.

I think I'll just stick with my Creative Zen, and just use the iTouch with the FM Transmitter, so it just plays through my Mazda3's audio system.

hmm.. sorry i couldnt be of more help. Maybe you can look on maintouch.com

I'm sorry, but this is absolutely impossible. Lyrics, without a band compressor/limiter, cannot be removed from a stereo mix. without resulting in horrible quality. I highly doubt you have your ipod chained through a limiter, so thats the end of that.

As far as EQ, EQ only boosts or cuts frequencies in a mix... it does not affect the mix. Furthermore, the iPod has NO capability to adjust a mix anyway. This has to be from the source file or hardware issue.

The only thing I can think of is that a contact is crossed causing phase problems. The only thing (usually) perfectly stereo in a mix is vocals, and if phase is flipped 180 degrees, then the vocals will cancel out and be very hard to hear.

It's a contact problem (hardware) within the ipod, or the headphones are wack.

Thanks for the post!

I'm guessing it is a hardware related thing then, because I've knocked every other variable out then.

Vern have you got the wiggle jack issue? some of the 1st gens had a problem with there audio jacks, it's not exactly a easy fix but it can be done.

I think that's exactly the problem Saxon.

My friend just now mentioned he dropped in on the school's ground and it landed in that area.... I think I'll buy the replacement headphone jack

EDIT: I fixed it.. I need to push my headphones past where it'd be secure enough.. (like all the way in)
