A possible fix for poor audio quality in QuickTime Player
Jun 08, '07 07:30:01AM • Contributed by: K_sayre
If you a QuickTime-compatible movie that suffers from bad audio quality, I think I can offer a workaround of sorts. In QuickTime Player (you'll need to have QuickTime Pro, however), select Window » Movie Properties. On the Audio Settings tab, change the db setting to +6, and the Balance to one speaker (left or right; it doesn't matter). Now instead of two speakers distributing the sound, you have one speaker playing it all. In my testing with an otherwise non-listenable audio track, this worked to make the audio understandable.

A possible fix for poor audio quality in QuickTime Player
So... instead of a balanced mix at nominal levels, you're pushing everything into one channel at distortion-level gain? I can't understand how that could possibly make anything better... ?

it worked for me for a movie i was playing, the audio was barely understandible. But when i did this the audio was perfectly clear, it's basically a you have to try it to understand thing.

Sounds like something is out of phase. Either the QT movie being played was created with tracks out of phase, or the speaker/amp wiring is not quite right. Out of phase QT tracks will virtually cancel out. |
