Play feedback when volume is changed

Since checking the Volume Feedback button will play back feedback every time the volume is increased or decreased, I decided to turn it off. Recently, if I turned on my Mac or restarted it, I would end up first, at the accounts page. Now there's only 1 account on this Mac and that's mine and it's also an admin account. I found that if I were to increase or decrease the volume without logging in, feedback for the volume will be played. This continues after logging in and until I check and then uncheck "Play feedback when volume is changed". Any ideas? Thanks!

This is happening to me too. The volume makes the noise, and when I open system preferences, "play feedback when..." is UNCHECKED which means it should not be making the noise. But I too have to check it and uncheck it in order for the sound to stop playing.
Why isn't it saving my setting?

The "Play feedback when volume is changed" system preference is broken

I don't want to hear the feedback sound when I change the volume, but my Mac stubbornly insists that I should!
If I uncheck the "Play feedback when volume is changed" option in the Sound System Preferences pane, it works for a while. Some time later, when I change the volume using the keyboard keys, it ticks again. I have to check and uncheck the preference to get it to shut up... for a while.
Also, I noticed it always ticks when I change the volume while Quicktime is opening a movie. If I wait until it has opened it, it doesn't tick anymore.
This annoying problem started, as far as I can remember, from day zero.
I fixed the also annoying balance drifting problem with http://www.whamb.com/balanced. Is there anything like that that will kill the volume change feedback sound and make sure it stays dead permanently?
Thanks!

Feedback When Changing Volume Stopped Working

I have "Play feedback when volume is changed" checked in System Preferences > Sound > Sound Effects, but this has stopped working when I use the volume keys on my Apple keyboard. I would try trashing the appropriate preferences, but I can't find the right preferences file. Any help/suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Emily

I had to shut down my iMac because of a thunderstorm, and when I turned the computer back on, the feedback was working again.

IPhone speaker crackles when music played at top volume

After about 90 minutes straight of playing spoken-word podcasts and music from my internal iPhone 4S speakers at top volume, the music now crackles when played at top volume. This change happened mid-song, when the unit was just sitting untouched on a counter. At first top volume was not as loud as it was previously, but the unit seems to have regained the functionality. I've reset the unit twice.
Any idea what happened and—more importantly—how I can fix it? Thanks!

Zach
I have the same problem, actually its only one month since i used my new iphone 4s.
I did not played it for hours...actually i just had a conversation on skype using the original headset up to 2 hours.. Then i used the phone on a portable speaker for music. Suddenly, when i removed the jack and played a game i noticed the cracking sound on the speaker on full volume...
Zach, any recommendation on how i can fix this things... Its really annoying...
Apple please help us on this matter...

I have copied over my music file to a new computer and the music shows on itunes but wont play. When I track where the song is located it is reading the wrong information. How do I change this as Edit Preferences has the right location

I have copied over my music files to a new computer and the music shows on itunes but wont play. When I track where the song is located it is reading the wrong information. How do I change this as Edit>Preferences has the right location?

Select one of the tracks with a broken link, press ctrl-i to Get Info. Say No when iTunes asks if you would like to locate the track, then look at the Summary tab for the location expects to find the file in.
Now try to locate the file in question. The two locations should give a clue as to what to do next.
Here is an example with a file I've deliberately moved from the new layout to the old pre-iTunes 9 layout.
This means iTunes is expecting to find the file at:
D:\iTunes\iTunes Media\Music\a-ha\Take On Me\01 Take On Me.mp3
but it isn't there because I've moved it to:
D:\iTunes\iTunes Media\a-ha\Take On Me\01 Take On Me.mp3
which is where it would have lived back in iTunes 8 (though the media folder would have been called iTunes Music back then as well).
If you can provide the expected and actual locations of a broken track I should be able to suggest the easiest way to resolve things.

[Solvd]XFCE mixer panel plugin doesn't get updated when volume changed

XFCE audio mixer panel plugin used to show the correct volume when I change the volume either with my Laptop touchbuttons or keyboard volume buttons.
1. To make sure if I am actually changing the volume, I opened alsamixer and tested pressing keys they work fine.
2. I even opened properties option from the indicator and set it to "Master"(the one I use) of my speaker, still no luck.
3. The only problem is the indicator doesnt update when the volume is changed or muted.
But for unknow reason this problem started last week.
Thanks for the help.

Wow, actually it now works for me, too! Amazing!

Restart iPhone: Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the home button together until the apple logo appears (ignore the ON/OFF slider) then let both buttons go and wait for phone to restart.

HT1567 I have the volume control symbol in the center of my iPad all of the time. My music will not play and the volume remains off. When I try to increase the volume manually it statics and will not maintain a volume level. Thanks

Try resetting the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons until the Apple Logo appears on the screen. Ignore the red slider if it shows up. You will lose no data.

Lumia 620 music volume not changing..

I've lumia 620,sometimes the music volume is set on constant level but it is only for audio songs(downloaded from Nokia music or pc ). But if i play music from nokia music/or play videos,games,metrotube... The volume does changes except for music from music+videos. Restarting phone stops the issue for time being but it can not be a solution because it happens every day.(i have tried reseting the phone from settings->about) it doesn't solve the issue.

Go to nokia care when you are facing the problem DO NOT RESTART THE PHONE..(otherwise the issue will be solved for time being)... they will do so called software update..(its like formatting the phone only rarely a firmware update) and the issue will be solved for some time but that is not a long term solution..(the issue comes again after some time).... i did it twice now gonna do it 3rd time if the issue pick again i am gonna pull them to consumer court...

Volume not changing?

Hi everyone I'm currently having problems using the volume property of the SoundTransform class to change the volume of the sound effects played in the game I am building and was hoping someone here would be able to point out what I'm doing wrong. Essentially I am setting the volume property to various values between 0 and 1 but the volume is not changing in the slightest!
In the main menu of the game there are two slider bars that can be used to adjust the volume of the background music and sound effects respectively. When the user moves the slider a value between 0 and 1 is passed to the SFXHandler class which I have created to handle all sound effects in the game.
Here is a simplified view of the SFXHandler class:
private var sfx:Sound;
private var sfxChan:SoundChannel;
private static var sfxTrans:SoundTransform = new SoundTransform();
//Constructor
public function SFXHandler()
     sfx = new Sound();
     sfxChan = new SoundChannel();
     sfxChan.soundTransform = sfxTrans;
//plays the required sound
public function PlaySFX(sound:Sound):void
      sfx = sound;
      sfxChan = sfx.play();
//Sets the volume for the SFX
public function SetSFXVolume(vol:Number):void
       trace("Setting sfx volume to: " + vol);
       sfxTrans.volume = vol;
Can anyone see why calling SetSFXVolume would not change the volume at which the sounds were played? I'm a little confused here!

Hi, that problem it`s so simple because you have to connect de soundTrnasform with sounchannel Class each time to use
for example.
private var sfx:Sound;
private var sfxChan:SoundChannel;
private static var sfxTrans:SoundTransform = new SoundTransform();
//Constructor
public function SFXHandler()
     sfx = new Sound();
     sfxChan = new SoundChannel();
     sfxChan.soundTransform = sfxTrans;
//plays the required sound
public function PlaySFX(sound:Sound):void
      sfx = sound;
      sfxChan = sfx.play();
//Sets the volume for the SFX
public function SetSFXVolume(vol:Number):void
       trace("Setting sfx volume to: " + vol);
       sfxTrans.volume = vol;
sfxChan.soundTransform = sfxTrans;
I hope this help you

I have just upgraded to the latest version of OSX as invited by Apple. Since then iTunes will not play and my volume controls have stopped working - in Preferences the sound controller is not able to find any input or output devices. What is going on?

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, or by a peripheral device.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode* and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Shut down your computer, wait 30 seconds, and then hold down the shift key while pressing the power button.
When you see the gray Apple logo, release the shift key.
If you are prompted to log in, type your password, and then hold down the shift key again as you click Log in.
*Note: If FileVault is enabled under OS X 10.7 or later, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t boot in safe mode. Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
There will be no audio output in safe mode. The question to be answered by the test is whether any devices are listed in the Sound preference pane. After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

How do I add volume and change mount point of groups?

how do you add an external volume and change the mount point for users and groups?

There are no volume automation curves in the iPad version of GarageBand, but you can add a fade-out:
http://help.apple.com/garageband/ipad/2.0/index.html#chs2a762fad
Add a fade-out
You can add an automatic fade-out to the end of a song. When you turn on Fade Out, the last ten seconds of the song fade to silence. If you extend the last section by adding or moving regions, the fade-out adjusts to the new end of the song. You hear the fade-out when you play or share the song, but not while recording.
Open the song settings.
Turn Fade Out on.
Tap Fade Out again to turn off the automatic fade-out.

ITunes volume not changing for videos?

If you go to the Now Playing screen, the Repeat control is the the arrowed racetrack icon on the left side right below the scrubber bar. Tap the icon to change. It is white when Repeat is off.
