10.4.9 and speaker volume

hello everybody,
just a little something i noticed after updating to 10.4.9 now: the volume of the speakers seems to be much louder now, as in: i can hear the bleep from the first bar on (not like from about halfway up like before). apart from that no issues with the update so far!
cheers

I'll "third" this as well. Volume levels in
everything are now much much MUCH better!!!! Some
podcasts that I listen to (ie Macbreak Weekly) are
notorious for having highly uncompressed audio
(meaning very hifi, but can be very hard to hear
certain individuals when they move away from the mic
inadvertantly).
(Dougxd - let me guess, you're talking about John Foster on MBW, right??)
anyhow, my MBP sound volume is same as others have noted after updating to 10.4.9. The volume controls now act more like what I was used to on my old Pismo, instead of having to crank it up quite a few bars to hear anything.
aside from that - no problems noticed, so far...

Headphone and speaker volume problem. Volume is not memorized.

I have the Helix i5 and the problem I'm having is that when I plug in my headphones, the volume does not automatically adjust. If my speakers are on full volume, so are my headphones when I plug them in. Please help me fix this. My Microsoft Surface never had such a ridiculous issue like this.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Try.
Control Panel --> HW & Sound --> Realtek HD Audio Manager
On the top righthand side press "Device advanced settings"
Choose Multi-stream mode
For me this unlocked separate volume sliders for speakers and headphones

Ringing Volume and Speaker Volume

Ok..so, I saw the fix but it is temporary.. do we have any news for a permament fix from Apple yet?
The volume suxs!

I'm experiencing the exact same problem!
When the maximum ringing volume is set, the phone will ring for about 3 seconds at a certain volume, and only then the volume will rise to the maximum. And it's set on "ringing", NOT "ascending"!
Ideas, anyone?

How to set speaker and headphone volume together T540p

My new Thinkpoad sets the headphone and speaker volume separately. I am always adjusting as I use headphones and speakers at different times frequently.
I would lke the volumes to be synchronized and change both together using the volume key.
Can this be set?
thanks all

Only if you?switch to?Audio Creation, open the mode console, set the speakers as 4.0 and in the 'Multi-Channel Wave' tab enable the bus routing for Fronts and Rears in the 'Wave' column. The downside is that this will disable EAX 4/5. BTW it's better to plug the headphones in the line-out (especially if the hp are low-impedance), the opamp driving the line-out has more output current headroom.

Speaker Volume

The ring tone and speaker volume are very low even though I have the volume all the way up.
Is there any way to adjust?

my sound check is OFF and i'm on 1.1.2
i already gave up on this issue, my speakerphone is useless as far as i'm concerned with such a low volume
the phone itself is awesome, so i'm willing to overlook this low speakerphone issue; i kinda gave up on new updates fixing it

G510: update to windows 10, decreased my speaker volume - with dolby error message

My G510 speakers volume was very good before upgrade to windows 10. Now when system is restarted, there is an error message on start "dolby advanced audio driver could not be loaded, either restart your computer or..." I cannot find anything wrong with drivers in device manager and speaker volume as gone low, as compared to before. Any help is deeply appreciated.

I solved the error message by running the audio drivers setup.exe file

3GS speaker volume low

Any ideas why? The ringtones and speaker volume seem very quiet. FYI using 4.1.2 and volume is MAX. cheers.

Okay, for the record, the problem was dirt in the speaker, which was blocking it and muffling the sound. I managed to open the case (thank you Youtube) and get in their with compressed air, which managed to blow out whatever junk was in there. It made a huge difference. So that was it!

VOLUME and SPEAKER PHONE

I had to return my 8GB Iphone yesterday as the volume on the handset and speaker phone was absolutely poor! I need my phone for BUSINESS and not being able to hear is a large issue for me. The Apple salespeople at the store tried to keep me quiet and hushed me to the back for the return. I was by no means causing a scene just wanted to return it. The Apple techs and salespeople acknowledged the problem and said it has been the reason for most of the returns and were not sure of any updates. When the Store Manager came over to give me a credit he didnt speak one word to me. Sorta Rude...
I compared it to my Blackberry Curve and there is NO comparison of the headset volume or Speaker phone volume.
I am so dissapointed but will try generation 2 when it comes out! The Iphone is a great phone but Apple HAS to figure out the quirks and bugs.
For all you critics it is a Great phone and has some great tools and features but it is a PHONE and my MAIN purpose is to talk on it! And when you cant hear then their is a TRUE ISSUE. And yes I took the plastic off too.
I hope Apple gets this solved. As I would consider re-buying!
Cheers

Of course most believe it is a solvable issue. The problem is that for those of us that need to use this for the phone feature the majority of the time, volume is an absolute neccesity. The 14 day return period is running out and some of us do not have the luxury of having more than one cell phone that we can use for the phone purpose until the issue is resolved. Any why should anyone expect one to do that? The phone was $650 with tax, then $80 a month for something you cannot use daily, is truly asking a bit much unless you have money to burn.
I'm not knocking the iPhone, I think it is a great item, but as a phone, it needs to have appropriate volume. And if Apple is not talking and releasing a statement about it, why should anyone wait around for something that may or may not be fixed in the very near future or even how long 'very near' may be?.... Especially when you cannot even get two Apple reps to acknowledge their is an issue with the volume?

Imac 21" I keep getting ggh'l and the speaker volume screen keeps popping up. Any ideas of what is causing this and how to fix it?

I recently converted from the PC world to Apple and got an IMAC 21". I keep getting the speaker volume screen popping up periodically and also types in ggh'l into whatever application I have open. I have the lastest software and have McAfee antivirus installed. This is a recent problem in the last few days so I'm not sure what is causing it. Any ideas/suggestions?

etresoft a long time contributer to Apple Support Communities wrote a very useful app he called etrecheck which helps in diagnosing many problems caused by third party installs etc.. Go to his website, read his information and from there download and run the program according to his instructions

After installing ios7 on my iphone4s I essential have lost speaker volume on and off

I lose speaker volume on and off after installing ios7 update on iphone4s. I reset my phone and then it just started again with the problem. It fixed it briefly

Settings>General>Reset>Reset all settings. This will not affect data. Remove the car speakers from the phone under Bluetooth, and remove the phone from the car stereo. After that place both devices back into pairing mode and reconnect.

Where have my speaker volume and internet connection notification icons gone?

This morning two 'notification icons' (at bottom right of screen) vanished: speaker volume, and internet connection. How do I restore them?
I have Firefox 6.0.2 running on Windows Vista

Great, thanks you two, much appreciate the help. They only say it will be restored ASAP. Has this happened before and how long did it take to fix? Also, I'm in the UK so I assume its a global issue?
Thanks

My volume solution... Both handest and speaker...

I must say that I was not upset about the volume issue, though the speaker volume for speaker phone is pretty low. Well I have two solutions that work for me.
First, for the handset volume, I paired my bluetooth earpeice and can barely keep the volume at 50-60% without killing my ears. One problem solved.
Second, I drive a 07 4 door jeep wrangler and it has an auxillary input in the radio. I had been using it for my ipod. Well today while driving, my wife called me. I had the iPhone plugged in listening to some good 70s rock. The music faded as I hit answer call. Well I didn't think about the plug into the jeep stereo, and assumed the call would be answered on my earpeice. To my surprise, my wife's lovely voice was rocking the Jeep, and she could hear me clear as a bell. So now I have a great speaker phone.
Volume issues solved.
Also of note: Shure is coming out with an adapter in August to plug in your earphones that will add the phone functionality that the Apple earpeices have. Enjoy.

Clean iPhone charging port with clean dry toothbrush. See if better. If still problem, and if there is Warranty or AppleCare, make Genius reservation or set up service and take or send to Apple for resolution. If no coverage, clean again with toothbrush and small amount of Isopropyl Alcohol.

Headphone and Internal Speaker Volume Levels

I saw a topic about this earlier, but it has become locked, so I thought I would post another to see if anyone has any information about it. Until recently, I have been able to set my headphone volume and internal speaker volume at different levels. In other words, I can set the speakers to a certain volume, plug in my headphones, set the headphones to a different volume, then unplug the headphones and the volume changes back to what it was before I plugged in the headphones. I don't know exactly when it started happening, but I can no longer set these at two separate levels. I have seen that other people are having this problem, so I know it isn't just something stupid that i am doing. Anyone know why this is happening, or what I can do about it? Any help would be much appreciated.

Assuming that you're not listening to songs that have been imported at very low level, the next thing to do is a full Restore. A Restore will remove everything form your iPod, reset it and then put back onto the iPod only what is in your iTunes library. So if you have items that are not in your library (and therfore on the computer) you need to sort that out first.
I believe it will also reset your user data in any Apps you use. There is a backup method for this, but I'm not sure how it works as I've never tried it.
If that doesn't work, there must be a hardware issue, which means booking it in for service.

I have a recently acquired iphone 4s and despite having good hearing and the volume up to max can barely hear who ever I am speaking to. WHat is wrong with the phone?

I have a recently acquired iphone 4s and despite having good hearing and the volume up to max can barely hear who ever I am speaking to. WHat is wrong with the phone?

The plastic cover was removed before I left the store and I have moved the volume up and down during, before and after phone calls. Have tried it in protective case and out of it. Impossible to hear calls unless phone is on speaker. There seems to be lots of comments re this. Is it a significant flaw? Can I fix it?
