Why is the volume so low?

I'm getting very low volume with iMovie HD 6 on my MacBook Pro. This problem only started recently. Other audio applications are fine, e.g., iDVD 7.0.3 plays the iMovie projects fine when I render them. I tried reinstalling iMovie, but that didn't help. Any ideas?

Hi
On my Mac - Audio levels can be affected in more than one place.
• My Mac has one idea of it's own to from now and then decrease the System audio
(Goto Apple menu - down to System Pref. and then select Audio - here see that
Audio out is not set to low)
• In iMovie each Audio tracks can be muted or amplified to 150%
By Extracting Audio from a clip - Only thing that happens are that audio on the
video clip is decreased to 0% and a copy is put on the track under at 100%
By changing original video-clip to 150% and changing the new copy to 150% the sum.
effect is an increase up to 300%.
If You need more - just copy the new audio clip and paste it on the same track
BUT ontop of first one and audio is increased even more - this can be repeated
several times till You only get audio-distortion.
alt. is to export out the audio as QT.aiff and in an Audio-editor (eg Audacity - free
on the net) make amplification till Your liking.
Yours Bengt W

Why is the volume so low on my iMac when I'm using Safari?

Why is the volume so low on my iMac when I'm using Safari?
On both my 2008 MBP and my new 2014 iMac 27" when I listen to the audio portion of a streaming video or news story using Safari, I can hardly hear anything. I have to crank the volume all the way up just to barely hear what is being said. Any ideas on how to fix this?

please help!! I have the new 2014 iMac 27" as well, same thing happen to me. Dont know what to do!

Why is the volume so low on my iPad3

What is the volume so low on my iPad3?

They will never do any of the things you are requesting in my opinion. Apple doesn't care able what the customers want. They only care about what they think the customer wants. Look at iTunes. All music softwares are moving towards mp3tags except iTunes. It ***** because if I change my file name it no longer knows the file still exist. With mp3tags I would not care the name of the file. It would only care about the song title, artist, album..etc..It's still crap. Yet it's still being used by millions. I myself use it even though I hate it. It's all about numbers too with apple. How many device sold. Not how many happy customers. They will never allow SD cards since they would not be able to sell any device great than 16GB. No HDMI because they expect you to buy the $30 converter. No attachments because well they don't want to give access to the file system. No flash because html5 is the feature. App developers better get with it or apple would leave them behind :)...I think the multitasking is great.
Since the first iPod came out people been complaining about the ability to sync with multiple iTunes. Years later it still hasn't change but apple stocks only grows higher LOL :)

Why is the volume so low, and won't get louder?

I'm trying to get more volume from the software "swirling keyboard" instrument, but it is way too soft no matter how high I raise it's volume. In the edit window, I can change the pitch, but the velocity slider is grayed out, and won't let me raise it. What can I do?

you can only get an answer to the question you ask. if the question is wrong (as in the other threads) you'll get the correct answer to that question ... which is wrong.
trust me, read the Getting Started bit, don't skim it. read all of it. then ask those other questions (in new threads. don't jump in on someone else's threads which have nothing to do with what you are asking. you'll read info that has nothing to do with your issue and get confused.)
so far the volume issue is solved, good luck with that.
one down.

Why is the volume of my phone so low in calls ?

Why is the volume of my phone so low in calls ?

Hey there Claudia,
It sounds like the audio from the receiver is low when you are talking on the phone. I found this article for you to help troubleshoot this issue named:
iPhone: Receiver and call audio quality issues
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts5196
Receiver
Follow these steps to resolve the issue:
Increase the volume during the call.
Make sure nothing is blocking the receiver. If you're using a protective case or display film, remove it and try again.
Make sure nothing is plugged into the headphone jack or the dock connector.
Check the receiver opening to see if it is clogged with debris. If necessary, clean it with a clean, small, dry, soft-bristled brush.
Try another location with better signal. If the audio issue happens only when on a call, it could be due to the location.
If the iPhone is paired with a Bluetooth headset or a car kit, try turning off Bluetooth on your device. Learn more about troubleshooting Bluetooth connections.
Restart the iPhone.
Make sure your device is up to date.
If the issue is not resolved after restoring the iPhone software, contact Apple Support.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the very best,
Sterling

Why is the speakerphone so low in iPhone 3GS?

Why is the speakerphone so low in iPhone 3GS? I have a maximum volume still it is not clear, Is there a way to increase it by any other method?

I have the same issue. Low volume while using speakerphone function. At 1' (30cm) it measures at almost half the dB of a blackberry pearl speakerphone. Basically renders the speakerphone function unusable in anything but the quietest environments, and even then its questionable. There are several people in the office I work at that have a 3G and 3GS phones. 3G phones tend to be a bit better but still quiet compared to Motorola, Nokia, and Blackberries. The other 3GS phones were just as bad as mine. This is definitely not a user error.

I recently purchased a IP5 and found that the volume is lower by 20-30% compared to an IP 3/4s.........is possible? Apple has a solution?

Of course, this all began just about 2 weeks after my 3 years of AppleCare were up....

Why is the volume on my MacBook Pro suddenly so low?

The volume on my macbook pro is really low. It used to be much better, now I can hardly hear people when on skype or listening to music... everything is set on high volume... help!?!

Try:
Reboot into Safe Mode then reboot normally. Safe mode takes longer to boot than booting regularly. That is normal.
Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)

Open Activity Monitor in the Utilities folder. Select All Processes from the Processes dropdown menu. Click twice on the CPU% column header to display in descending order. If you find a process using a large amount of CPU time (>=70,) then select the process and click on the Quit icon in the toolbar. Click on the Force Quit button to kill the process. See if that helps. Be sure to note the name of the runaway process so you can track down the cause of the problem.

Why is the volume low?

I am importing my CD collection and I noticed that when I play any of my songs back that they are really low. I can hardly hear them without turning up the volume all the way on both the speakers and my MacBook Pro. When I higher the volume, the sound is clear, no water damage or anything. Also, my speakers work fine for YouTube, system sounds, etc. it's only my iTunes library that has a low volume.
Please help!

After checking the volumne selection:
Try restarting your computer.

Why is the volume on my iphone 4s so low?

On calls i can barely hear people but music and siri is loud and just fine..the volume is turned all the way up for calls so what could be the problem?

I replaced my iPhone4 with another one and it was no better. Later I replaced it with an iPhone5. It was much improved. Why ? I am not really sure, but when I got the iPhone5 either the speaker is better or the Plastic Cover is a little different. I think the openings on my 5's plastic protector are larger and I made sure the plastic does not even come close to the earpiece. My wife did not want my 4 because she could not hear well on it; so, I bought her a 5 also. She likes the 5 and says she can hear better. Improved earpiece ? - perhaps. Plastic Screen protector not covering the earpiece - I am sure it is not, but it was not on the 4 either. I think if you drop a phone it might jar the earpiece, but I have never taken one apart. The Apple Store should know, but I took my 4 there and they only listened to it and said it was ok, but it was not.
I think the earpieces are marginal and the circuitry are marginal prior to a 5 or perhaps the earpieces were not all manfactured by the same vendor. Either way you look at it, if you have a problem hearing on a $600 phone, take it back until you get a good one.

Why is my volume significantly lower after the iOS 6 update?

Hi there,
I don't post often since there are hardly any problems with my iPhone 4S but ever since the latest iOS update, the volume has really been bugging me a lot. I remember on my old iPod touch as well on the older iOS, it had a maximum volume so loud it would either distort my earphones or really ring my ears after a long duration of listening to music. Since there has been a 'high volume' limit which I don't have a lock on, plus my volume set to the max, it just doesn't have the same punch as it did before. I so hope Apple isn't taking the same route in volume dampening as Sony did years ago because that's the whole reason I dumped my Walkman; the volume dampener set in after volume 20 out of 30! When listening to a loud rock song, there would be no difference between 20 and 30. but when at volume 30 and the song hit a quiet part, the volume would rise to compensate and it just didn't sound right at all.
i can get around this by using the 'djay' application which has an option to increase the gain until everything got too loud and distorted any speakers attached to the female output. the only drawback is that it only responds to the EQ change of Late Night which I don't use very often at all. i also purchased the Stereophonic application which is great, but the volume gets dampened which big bass beats are prominent. it makes the volume drop and then rise again in that short space of time for the single beat to sound.
does anyone else experience what I am experiencing?
thanks for any advice,

I meant the home screen sorry

Why is the volume level different from song to song in iTunes & on iPod?

When I play back songs in iTunes and most of all on my iPod the volume level is different depending what songs I am listing to. The biggest problem is with the songs that I get from my CD’s because the volume is very low. Why does this happen and can I fix it? Thanks, Robert

iTunes uses a feature called "SoundCheck" to attempt to equalize playback volume. There are actually 3 Sound Checks: 1 is for iTunes playback (set in Preferences), 1 is for iTunes burning (set on the Burn Disc dialog), and 1 is for iPod playback (in iPod Settings).
Make sure they are all enabled.
They are far from perfect, but they should help.
