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.

Yes there is a distortion if the angle is greater than 45 degrees. And the audio is very very poor.

Audio quality on the Ultra model is superb. I do not have the older models, I waited for this one. I recorded jam of acoustic guitars and two part harmonies from 5-10 feet away, perfect. The video quality in lamp light is fuzzy, have to edit in Power Director, render it and save it as 30 fps H.264 file back to flipshare as an import and boom, edited movies are played back in/on Ultra Flip. Sorry, gave you more than the answer. Mikey Blue is coming soon for Ultra Flip, the external microphone that fits the Flip port on the Ultra Model. Have a concert coming in May I must record with optimum sound and that'll do it...Supposed to be out Mid to Late March for the Mikey Blue for Flip.

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

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.

crystal clear sound is a matter of opinion. I have used the device with line-in and recorded using audacity on Ubuntu linux. It sounds fine. Like all things, setup your sound mixers volumes appropriately. This is also my 'day drive' device using the MIC inputs for my VOIP headset. I have no compliants.

Sound channels are wrong? Is it because you are unable to match up the proper channels to those on the card? I ran into this issue for a bit but eventually found the right channels. Part of the issue is that I don't think the coloring is universal and 2 of the channels required using conversion cables. Otherwise I have 7.1 playing pretty well through these headphones.

First make sure your sound card output is turned up full. Then make sure the volume on the speaker is turned up. Then lastly return them to Amazon because they sound like crap and buy some Tannoy 401's and enjoy real music from pro audio sound. That is what I did

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.

I use Senn PC360 and have noticed a difference when gaming and recording with Audacity, escpecially in the analog mic input. Using lossless audio is where this card will really shine, so make sure your music library is encoded with ALAC or FLAC, and maybe try HD Tracks for some higher-than-CD quality music!

I got much better volume by adjusting the equalizer. Go to a video on utube called boost laptop volume. I tried this with my laptop, and it really worked.

Hi Tom,I've done everything you said and that I can think of and still no dice. So I'm done trying to figure it out. I used to get pretty good surround from the the TV programs that are broadcast HD 5.1 but it seems to be gone also. I have to say that the despite all this, it does sound pretty good if stereo is what I was going for. Thanks for all your help. I really appreciate it.Take care,Dennis

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.

Make sure the speaker connections are solid and you also have the negative and positive connections correct. There also may be a setting in your receiver that is not set up correctly causing the volume level of the center channel to be lower than the others. Check If your receiver has "Sound Field" settings which can totally change how everything sounds such as Game and Movie modes

Sorry, I do not know. The sound quality on ours has been excellent from Day 1. I would hope you can find some simple setting to change.

I had the same issue, but in my case plugging in a pair of unused headphones did reduce the Wii audio output to the TV enough to eliminate the distortion. The audio in the plugged-in headphones still sounded distorted, but the TV audio sounds fine. Maybe you can try plugging in different headphones?

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.
