When I play vinyl, the output volume is fine. But I have recorded a track onto a SD card and the volume is really low. Is there a way to adjust it?

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.

That happened to me with the thumb drive. I cranked to volume up to right before its too loud for the speakers or earphones. Then it is fine on other mediums. Its still not like what you get from the overproduced music today but you hear the warmth natural sound of the record.

what I do is use a headphones with volume control and its a way I take, or get amplified speakers for extra volume, also try an external recording unit that has a separate volume control, sorry I couldn't be more helpful ,miguel

I can't answer the question as I've never recorded any tracks onto a SD card so don't know if the volume is an issue on mine or not.

No, it's not--you can digitize your vinyl for use on your devices (basically converting the music on your records into mp3s), or just play your vinyl on old school with the audio coming through the built-in speakers. What would make it better is if it had Blue Tooth (so it could be played through external wireless speakers). But being able to capture songs from vinyl and turn them into mp3s for your devices is still pretty cool--that and the built-in speakers were all I was looking for.Hopefully this helps!

Hi Liz I returned 2 of them. The first one the cd did not work then the next nothing worked. Im sorry to tell you but you do need to return it. Also if you use the recordplayer and it has the scratches and on the cd it will sound just like that. It sounds tinny. So Sorry to tell you this but i had no luck with it. 2sassyjay@comcast.net

same problem... at low volumes with ipod touch 2nd gen. it has a terribly obnoxious static... nothing i do seems to correct the problem. using line in, it sounds great, but that kind of defeats the purpose of the system.

No your built in sound will be fine. The amp and software will clean everything up. Getting pops and clicks out of vinyl is a little tricky as it can make the recording sound muddy. Otherwise the amp worked great for me.

I tried it out only once and didn't have any sucess with it. contacted the seller and they suggested I try increasing the volume out somewhere on the recorder. I haven't tried that yet. Not much faith in that though but we'll see.

Sorry can't help you for I have never done that. This portable sound card by Creative works great when you cannot install a internal sound card. I have talked to other people that have good equipment. They have tried to transfer vinyl to CD and it does not sound good at all. (ie. scratchy, hollow sounding ect. ect. Sorry I can't help more. Have a nice Thanksgiving.

No it regulates the monitor output level. I use a little tiny self powered mobile speaker (iHome) plugged into that monitor channel that works great for monitoring my turntable while I capture vinyl tracks with audacity. I capture the actual output via the USB interface. The small knob is the monitor volume level. The big gain knob allows you to raise or lower the line levels to your desired level but honestly. I adjusted that once and never touched it again. It stays pretty close to zero at all times. The converted audacity digital files can be normalized digitally which means the gain setting is pretty meaningless anyway. No it regulates the monitor output level.

I wonder if anyone has found a remedy for this. MAybe a higher quality needle? I like the unit, but I want it to play records. It won't play 4 out of 5 of the ones I've tried.

If your record player has a 3.5mm audio out then it should be able to output sound. Be advised that this device does not have volume control, so if your record player doesn't have it's own it may not be of much use to you.

I don't see why not I haven't tried it myself but I would think as long as the vinyl player has RCA outs I don't see why the card wouldn't work for this, I think the software the card came with can clean up the sound but like I said before I haven't tried it myself.

First check your computer setting for the card and then you can also adjust the volume of the bass with the knob on the back on the unit. hope that helps

I assume that you are using a standard LP record player. Most amps today do not handle conventional phonos, however, an inexpensive pre-amp between the player and any amp will take care of this.

I recently purchased this speaker but when I connected to ZUNE HD player it produces low output, which you can hear only if placed near your ears. any solution?

Sorry to ask the obvious, there is an output level control on the Bellari, have you tried turning that up? Otherwise it could be your cartridge on the turntable too.

Well, basically analog output is what you have with vinyl playing and all those others platforms that you've mentioned are digital. So, analog have a much lower signal output coming from the stylus and VP130 PRE-amplifies it to a acceptable level. If you really want a brutal loud sound kicking in your lungs, you will need a good class "A" tube AMPLIFIER after the VP130 pre-amplifies it. Got it?
