Flip Ultra audio quality not good: Am I doing something wrong?
460355
Playback of individual voices on the Flip Ultra itself is hard to hear, but not when transferred to your computer. On the other side of the coin, I recently recorded a brass orchestra in a hall with excellent acoustics. The results? The quality of playback was very good and loud on the Flip Ultra and spectacular when played back on my combination computer/stereo system.

I have the same problem. When I use the flip 2 with my iPhone (5) or iPad (3) the volume is too high when I want to hear music in the office or in the hotel while I am reading. Volume buttons at the flip 2 and iPhone are somehow the same. The only way to make this thing more quiet is to connect iPhone and the flip with a cable. Then it's possible to set different volumes on both devices.

I recommend using a dedicated analog to S/PDIF, or analog to tos-link interface.,(depending on your setup). Although i haven't used the UCA222 in this manner, You may end up losing a nice audio interface, or at best, having degraded audio, (if this type of configuration would work at all).

That sounds like a source output issue (either the audio source equipment or the audio file). The Crossfade LPs deliver extraordinary base. Their 50mm drivers help ensure crystal clear, heavy base, without the distortion associated with overloading smaller drivers. I plug mine into my Samsung Galaxy Note 2 and the phone automatically reduces the default volume to 60% to prevent ear damage, because turning it up to 100% might hurt.

I seem to have the same problem. I am not well versed in audio components and assume that that must be normal. I am hopeful someone will have a better answer or can offer a solution.

I had a similar situation. No matter what I tried, I never received any quality sound, just the squeals and shrieks also agree with other comment- waste of money and a disappointed prnoduct- and usually, memorex is considered a plus but not in this case- Sorry

Hi Mark: I found that there is a bug in my 250 at least (it was refurbished) which makes the volume drop way off if I don't have all the equalizer settings in 'custom' set to EXACTLY FLAT. If you do that and OK it with the checkmark, on mine, suddenly the volume goes up. Sorry no idea what firmware I have.

I heard a lot of noise as well, that is before i bought a dedicated audio interface, like an m-audio m-track, preSonus, focusrite, etc.. If you're not using one, then i'd say get that first. I have no noise now at all settings. From -30db, and i usually have my speakers set at the +6db and nothing. i'm also using the 1/4" to 1/4" plug into the balanced inputs. If you're using an audio interface, then i'd say call customer support and get it fixed.

No, sound quality is still excellent. Try moving it to another location just in case you are picking up interference from something else nearby.

I have the same setup as you mentioned. I used a splitter thinking I would be achieving a fuller sound. Sounds great to me. Good luck. Bill

Yes, I encountered the same issue. The best solution is to import the file into Audacity (free software) and then apply amplification. I usually added some EQ too because they sound too thin. Of course, if you are a purist, you would like to avoid this last step. As I mentioned in my review, mp3 recording here is a good idea but the technology used needs some tweecking. I hope this helpful.

I had problems with mine at first. I called OSD Audio to trouble shoot the problem. I ended up sending them back to OSD Audio and they rebuilt them. They have work great ever sense. I've used them for about a year now.

I had the same issue and returned them and got a less expensive fataly1. not quite as comfortable and in stero only. I run a sound blaster card with great 2. 1 and 5.1 plugged in back. It your choise.

After experimenting with this player using both the 7.1 analog outputs and the digital optical output I find the internal decoding to be sub-par. While both provide excellent dialog and sound effects the extremely low frequencies output to my sub-woofer are lacking when using the player's internal decoding. I've set all the levels to maximum and still the room does not shake. When using the digital output it is possible at much lower lower volumes to make the room shake and at higher volumes to experience discomfort from the loud bass. I was not able to discern any additional sound quality from the addition of the 'lossless' information of the internal decoding.

Assuming you are recording from the adapter, it sounds like the input to the audio programs you are using is not set to the USB audio source.

In Sound Properties, there is a Stereo Mix option (IDT High Definition Codec). Not sure what it does or if works.
