The sound volume that changes by itself! oO Solved

Question

Hey guys! I have ANOTHER problem, ever since I got my new laptop, I noticed that when I listen to music, the volume fluctuates by itself for a second. Not by much, but it happens repeatedly. It varies from every two seconds to every 20 seconds between each drop in sound, and sometimes it works fine for a while.

Anyway, I'm completely lost! It's worth noting that I use iTunes almost all the time, but the problem also occurs on YouTube, for example, and on everything music-related in general. But if I play a movie or a game, the sound works perfectly.

Let me give you a few details about the PC:
It's a Toshiba Qosmio X500 with Windows 7 Premium 64-bit. Processor 1.6 GHz quad-core, 4GB RAM and the graphics card is an NVIDIA GeForce GTS 250.

So that's it, if you could help me that would be cool ^_^

I had the same issue with a Toshiba laptop running Windows 7.

In fact, it's related to the built-in microphone on the laptop. Seven detects that it "hears" something and lowers the volume of the applications in progress...

To stop this, you need to go to:

Control Panel / Sound / Communications / and check do nothing.

And there you go!

Another thing, the volume does vary, yes, but... how to explain? Right now, for example, it’s plugged into the external speakers and the volume is constantly at 100 and doesn’t change on its own, it’s what I hear that varies. But whether it's the external speakers or those of the PC, it’s the same mess! xD It’s not a vital problem but it’s annoying :D

A problem with a slap or with an earbud then. -- Everything becomes old.

Coincoinwcbiensur · Answer

Mmm, I don't think so: I've tried several speakers, even old ones, and they all do the same thing. Moreover, they work fine when plugged in elsewhere. (iPod, TV, etc...)

Hi,

I have exactly the same problem... I tested my speakers, my stereo with other devices and the issue only comes from my computer.

For your information, I have a Dell Studio laptop, and I'm on Vista, so the problem wouldn't come from Seven...

If anyone has a solution...

Coincoinwcbiensur · Answer

Hello, I have indeed changed the settings as Erip said, but it still doesn't change anything for me. I must have a problem with certain music formats I think, or even some specific songs.
When I think about it, I’m almost sure of it!

Thanks for your help everyone \o/

I don't have the same settings on Vista and I can't find anywhere what Erip describes.  Is there anyone who knows for Vista?

Good evening everyone...
I noticed that this sound variant prevents the grizzled speakers from functioning, it varies according to the frequencies and the better the sound quality, the more it varies.....
Once, when I reinstalled my PC, the Smart Audio that manages the sound card did not install and I didn't have the problem anymore, but the only thing is that this little program is essential, I will call Toshiba tomorrow to ask how to disable this variation, and I will share their response with you.....
See you soon.

Hi everyone,I think Pitt has hit the nail on the head. I hope you're right. Thanks anyway.--(Pssst! Once you've sorted out your little issues, don’t run away!-----> Don’t forget to set your post to "resolved"! ^ ^)

Pittbac · Answer

Hi everyone, I finally found a little time after posting my post!!!! So I did call Toshiba, but they know their device as well as I know finance... anyway, while searching a bit I found the solution...
You need to go to
- Control Panel
- Hardware and Sound
- Sound
- Click on the Enhancements tab and check "Disable all enhancements"
And there you go, just restart and it's all good.

I have a Dell Inspiron laptop and when I listen to music, the sound weakens at certain parts of the music. What is it? How can I solve this problem, please?!

Hello,
Sorry for the thread resurrection!

I’m having exactly the same issue with my Toshiba Satellite P500 running Windows 7 Pro (it seems to be a common problem across all P500/X500 series).
So like Coincoinwcbiensur, Erip's solution (that is: Go to Control Panel / Sound / Communication / and check "do nothing") does not work for me.
Pittbac's solution, which is to check "disable all enhancements," I know, but the sound loses all its quality. Sure, it doesn’t fluctuate constantly anymore, but the sound becomes flat, tasteless; the highs are absent just like the lows, swallowed by the predominant mids... Hence the mixed reviews you can see on tests against these models!
I’d also like to note that the richer the music is in instruments (heavy rock, techno, etc.), the lower the sound gets. Conversely, for calm music like piano/vocals, the sound can be very loud, even causing distortions, and it hardly fluctuates...
In short, the more sound information there is, the more problems there are... that’s why there are very few issues when watching a movie: the soundtrack contains only dialogues, background noises... but most of the time, there’s little cluttered music.

Anyway, I’ve really tried everything... I even reformatted, without success.
Moreover, Toshiba can't even pinpoint the issue; for them, it's "normal"! Yet I know someone who has a Satellite P300 (same speakers) who has the same sound, without this problem... it’s indeed the specific model.
So whoever has the solution, after all this time I've spent on it, honestly, I tip my hat to you!

Thanks in advance...

Hello everyone! After a bit of a delay, I recommend you go to the section where you find the disable enhancements box and check "sound leveling", personally it worked for me!

Yvanoe51 · Answer

My problem is that I have headphones with which I can increase and decrease the volume, and it's my front USB port on the computer that is faulty; I hope I can help someone.
