7.6 low volume of sounds

ever since updating to 7.6.80.103 the sounds have a low volume since previous versions.
for example when wearing headphones, and i receive a message i would hear the sound very loud in my ears, now  i can barely hear it.
everything is in max setting in both skype and in windows volume sliders.
did you lower the volume of the sounds?

Hey themky,
Thanks for the question. After reviewing your post, it sounds like a problem with the receiver on the iPhone. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help you resolve or isolate the issue.
If you can't hear a person on a call or voicemail or if the sound quality is poor on iPhone
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Have a nice day,
Mario

  • No sound vs low volume

    I recently experienced the loss of all sound on my phone. It began after I unplugged the ear phones. I could not hear it ring and I could not hear anyone on the line although they could hear me. It was basically dead for about 4 hours or until I plugged the ear phones back in causing something to reset or whatever. It works fine now and Apple asked that I call when it occurs again so that we can try and trouble shoot and narrow the problem. I may have a defective phone.
    I do not think this has any correlation with the "low volume" problem that everyone is talking about. I will agree with another writer that the volume is low until you activate the speaker but I have been using the speaker/hands free since the first day so perhaps that is why I have never experienced low volume. I think if the speaker is activated everyone will experience normal sound volume.

    I installed the Audigy 2 ZS last night. Updated everything, all of the drivers. I plug in my speakers, and nothing at low volume. I turn on music, and theres nothing. If I turn the volume all the way up, theres distortion, white noise, and a bunch of static, but I can hear the music very faintly. I've disabled the onboard audio, and followed the FAQ, but nothing. Any ideas?
    Output volume is set with "Wave" and "Master" controls. Max the Wave and control with Master.
    In many cases if PSU is weak --> you get issues of this type. Try to remove (temporarily) devices like CD/DVD, floppy, etc. (just remove power/data cables) to see if PSU is the culprit for your issue.
    Also, have you checked/tried
    - audio HW acceleration and SR conversion quality --> set both max
    - audio codecs --> reinstallation can be helpful
    - muted all other sources but the one(s) you're using (i.e. all other sources can be muted if only playing audio files)
    - digital output only set properly (speaker settings/THX console)
    - speakers connected as should (2/2. --> green jack, etc.) and plugs properly pushed in
    - speakers set correct (2/2., 4/4., 5., 6/6., 7.)
    - used different output device drivers on audio players (DS/MME/WDM/...)
    - ASIO capable player --> shows if you have sound driver issue (creative/windows)
    - reinstalled directX, WMP (updates audio codecs)
    - etc.

  • Computer freezes, then a low-volume, high pitch sound

    Hello there,
    My trusty 2002 MDD is randomly freezing on me for the 1st time! Disk Warrior nor Disk Utility form external boot-ups detect anything wrong. Thus, it doesn't seem to be a hard drive issue. Memory status on System Profiler checks OK.
    Once the beach ball appears I can't do anything but press the power button to shut it down. I've noticed that while frozen a very low-volume, high pitch sound can be heard. ???
    Thanks a lot for any feedback that you may provide,
    Jacobo

    Hatter,
    Thanks for the prompt reply. Like you proposed, I've started from my FW drive (not after a freeze though) and everything drive-related checks OK.
    Yes, my video card (Radeon 9800) does have a fan. I've though about this and the PSU as well. The latter is the quieter, less powerful one.
    My drives are less than a year old and seem to be OK.
    I’ve run Applejack (w/ memory check) and all is good.
    Can the Apple Diagnostic CD pinpoint any of these issues?
    My MDD has been incredible when it comes to reliability. She has not given me ANY problems whatsoever while stressed to its limits.
    Thanks again for your time,
    Jacobo

  • Sound is very low volume

    I've done a search but can't seem to find any info re the sound volume on my bw G3. The sound out of both the front, built in speaker, and through the headphones, is very low volume output, almost but not quite muted. I've searched and adjusted the controls but to no avail. Could this be a hardware problem or software? There 'is' some movement when I adjust the volume slider but it takes the level from what would normally be 2 of 10 down to nothing. That is, there is no way for me to get the sound to levels that within normal limits. It's like the output is being blocked somehow but is still leaking through enough for me to make out the particular sound (song in this case) that I'm listening to.
    Any help would be appreciated. It might not be worth puttiing any money into and I'd like to at least try.
    Michael

    Michael,
    Sounds like you are ahead of the game on testing with headphones. External speakers would not make much of a difference without an amplifier.
    "(is there another place to check sound output?)" If you had an AV output you could test sound out of that card. Finding a card might be cheaper than any repair bill and give you a definative answer on if their is a system software level problem.

  • Guitar audio drop-out at lower volumes

    I have tried out mainstage on a friends macbook pro, to check if it will be worth an investment into Logic over Garageband, mainly as an effects emulator for my guitar so I don't need to worry about amps in my small flat.   I connected through an Edirol UA-5 USB audio interface and while there were some issues with this interface anyway due to the fact I could only use input-1 rather than the Hi-Z Input-2 that I should use, I wanted to check some audio problems I had and see how to fix them.
    Basically, at full volume on my guitar it seems to work fine, but as soon as I turn the guitar volume knob down there is literally no sustain anymore, I can hear a brief note and then it just cuts out, no gradual loss just stops.   If I only plug the interface in without mainstage then the monitor channel gives me the full volume control I expect and I tried my guitar on a proper external amp and it seemes to be fine so i've eliminated my guitar as the problem.
    Anyone experienced this or have any suggestions to try to get it to work.
    Also, if I use garage band I don't hear the output fromt he amp/effects simulators, only raw guitar and I only hear the final version if I record it and then play it back.  Is there a way to get Garage band to act as a amp/fx simulator in a live mode like mainstage does or is the fact mainstage is playing back through the interface what might be causing the problems in some feedback loop??   Beginning to think an iRig would have been a better option......

    Hi
    Sounds like you may have a Noise Gate in there somewhere?
    CCT
    yeah I thought of that but couldn't see anything, and think my knowledge of what a noise gate would do is slightly rusty since I assumed that at louder volumes it would clip and at lower volumes it would be fine....i'll have a play next time I am over my friends and see if I can spot anything.
    Thanks for the quick reply.

  • Seemingly low volume for X-Fi Xtrememu

    Today, the second time I booted up my computer I began to receive an interesting problem. My audio worked to some extent, but the volume was exceedingly low. I had to put my ear right next to the speakers to hear anything. I pulled out my headphones and plugged them in -- Same result, low volume. When I disabled the X-Fi and enabled my onboard audio, the volume was crystal clear and worked perfectly fine. I didn't change any software, drivers, hardware, or anything of that sort within the two reboots either.
    I checked the obvious and made sure my volume was high in the X-Fi configuration panel, the windows panel, and my media players. Everything was maxed out. When I turned up my volume to the maximum on my speakers I could hear things better, but it was horribly distorted and sounded as if they were being over dri'ven. Normally I never have to increase the volume on the speakers much to hear anything, their usually on about 20-30% and I hear them perfectly fine.
    I posted about this before on another site and It was recommended I try installing the latest drivers. So I decided to do an uninstall of the X-Fi drivers for good measure and, after rebooting, I installed the drivers and rebooted once more as it prompted me. The same exact result as before: sound that seems to have very low volume. After this, they recommended I try a different PCI slot as it may be damaged. I tried the other PCI slot and I had the same exact results as before. I did not want to install the card into the slot right next to my video card because it looked like the fan would be right up against the PCB of the X-Fi and that it might impede air flow and cause both cards to overheat.
    Does anyone know what might be the problem? I'm using the latest drivers I saw (September 9th I believe) and the X-Fi has worked great for the past week and a half. I really don't want to have to own a $00 paperweight and revert to onboard audio.
    Edit: If it helps any, I'm running on the following:
    Asus A8N32 SLI Deluxe
    AMD Opteron 70
    X-Fi Xtrememusic
    GeForce 7900 GT
    If you need any other info, i'll post it.Message Edited by Sagekilla on 0-22-2006 2:9 PM

    Bump.. Does anyone know how to fix this problem? I've made a list of all the fixes I've attempted
    - Checked the volume in Creative's console, the Windows volume control in my tray bar, and in the Control Panel under "Audio and Sound devices"
    - Made sure default device was the X-Fi
    - Made sure the speakers was plugged in the right spot
    - Made sure the speakers weren't faulty (I tested with a pair of head phones and on my iPod)
    - Made sure I had the latest drivers
    - Did the diagnostic, didn't help
    - Did a system restore that made things worse
    - Switched the PCI slot the sound card was in
    - Tried onboard audio and found the audio there worked fine (I don't want onboard audio and a $00 paper weight though)
    - Made sure onboard audio was uninstalled and disabled
    - Posted on the creative labs forums and got no replies
    - Safe Mode doesn't even recognize the Sound card
    I'm pretty sure this isn't something stupid like "Is the volume turned up?"

  • My low volume button doesn't work on my Iphone 4, how can I fix it?

    Okay so I dropped my iphone in the parking lot garages of my apartment complex and the ground was cement, when i picked it up the screen wasn't cracked or anything so i thought it was okay but once i started listening to music and I wanted to lower the volume and so I pushed the low volume button but nothing happen....The high volume button works fine but now the low volume button so if you want to lower the volume on my phone now you have to do it manually....Also after the drop i turned off silent mode on the side and the clicking sound wasn't there and I checked in the settings, it said it was on and the volume was on but I heard no clicking sound!!! How can I solve these two problems? Can I go to an Apple Store and let them fix my iphone if I don't have AppleCare?

    Hi there Jaz94,
    I would recommend taking a look at the troubleshooting steps found in the article below.

  • Adjusting volumes in Sound

    Hey,
    I'm working from a c++ program where the user would speak into a microphone when prompted, and the system's microphone recording volume would be adjusted accordingly to stop the sound from being too loud/quiet.
    This is so that speech samples taken after this 'calibration' are of good quality (in volume sense).
    Is there a way of accessing system volume settings in Java?
    No, forget that, it's bad and wrong... Is there a sly way of having the same effect as this? (Got SOME experience of java sound, but not amazing amounts)
    Thanks!

    System volume controls, when reduced, get rid of clipping from loud input, because these controls affect the original signal
    I need to find a technique which has the same effect. I need to know whether using controls like FloatControl have the effect where (for example a loud signal, clipping because the system volume controls are high) the clipped signal isn't just reduced to a lower volume but still clipped signal, but actually uses the original input, and thus 'removes' (so to speak) the clipping.
    Is it possible?

  • Low Volume Ipod Classic 2009 from USA?

    Hi,
    I just purchased the new Ipod Classic in October in New York City at the Apple Store. Now, back at home in Switzerland, I loaded the Classic via Itunes. Now I have the feeling that the Classic has a much lower volume than my old 5.5G Ipod Video (from the USA, too. Without EU volume cut). Is this possible? Is the new classic more quiet than the older ones? Firmware problem? May I have the EU Version althoug I bought it in New York? Is there a way to figger out via serial number etc. if my classic is an US or an EU model?
    Does anyone, who lives in the US, the same impression about the volume?
    Note: both Ipods are filled with exactly the same files and "maximum volume" is set to max in both models.
    Thanks a lot for some ideas.
    Gero

    Does anyone, who lives in the US, the same impression about the volume?
    My 2009 160GB USA unit is very loud.
    I think that your computer tells the iPod that you are in the EU and it locks in a lower volume.
    In the EU the 'State' and not the individual controls the volume of YOUR music.
    Talk about "over governed". I guess I'm lucky that the "sound Police" didn't confiscate my USA iPod on a recent trip to Europe.
    Good Luck.

  • Hi. I Have a Pavilion dv9000 which has always had very low volume - really needs to be increased?

    Hi. I Have a Pavilion dv9000 with Vista Ultimate 64.  It has always had very low volume and I find I generally have to have the volume up into the 70's 80's as well as the onscreen media player slider almost full -  which then gets all distorted - and then have to turn it down again when not using the player as the computer error beeps come screaming out., Ive checked the settings on speakers to make sure all are the same & balanced and also have updated any codecs as needed. Is there a sound lever setting elsewhere?
    cheers

    Thanks for the reply and peeling my post off Mike, sorry I didn't start my own initially.
    Well @ 1333Mhz I was using the rated timings 9-9-9-24 (as per Corsair) but it wasn't very stable as I said.
    I have since changed the FSB/RAM ratio to get 1066Mhz and it seemed much happier. (@1.5v) It would be nice to run the RAM at it's rated setting but my OC skills aren't that extensive. I imagine it would need alot of tweeking? Or could I have just relaxed the timings a bit?
    Would removing the Switch Cards make any difference?
    Thanks in advance.

  • Volume of sound is different due to different software

    Hello, guys. I am using Mac Air 13-inch. I note the volume of sound from iTunes and Youtube is lower than before, and when i use a third part MP3 music player software the sound is normal( not lower than before). Who could tell me what happened on my computer? Thanks

    The best it can be is the quality of the original.  You can take a 128 file and convert it to 320k but it won't change the quality except possibly make it a tiny bit worse and take up more room.  Best compression depends upon what you can hear and what sounds good to you.  Technically the best compression is Apple Lossless but your files will still be much larger than most other formats you would use on an iPhone unless you have space to burn.  Apple Lossless is only really handy for CD rips because most online purchases are already in lossy compression forms.
    This business of downloading and uploading changing quality isn't clear to me as you put it.  There is a setting where iTunes will convert to a lower bitrate format for iDevice use.  Check your iTunes settings.

  • M-Audio Profire/AKG mic... LOW volume! Power issues?

    Hey guys, desperately need some help here. So I've got an M-Audio Profire 610 interface, using an AKG Perception 200 condenser mic. I am having issues with REALLY LOW VOLUME! And I'm pretty positive I have everything setup correctly. XLR to XLR mic cable(I threw out my old one and bought a brand new one, still didn't solve the problem). I've got phantom power on and the profire is connected via firewire 400. All drivers and software are up-to-date. Got the latest OSX, running all of this on a relatively new imac.
    I have no idea why the AKG mic won't pick up sounds nearly as loud as it should. I have the gain up on the Profire up at 90% which is sufficient enough but the recordings are muffly and not as crisp as they used to be. Once upon a time I used this same mic with a Powerbook G4 and M-Audio Mobile Pre, and the mic worked AMAZINGLY in both Garageband and Logic Express, it picked up EVERYTHING and I never needed to put the gain on the Mobile Pre past 40%--it was a super sensitive mic. One day out of nowhere, however, the gain volume became ridiculously low and I had to max everything out on the Mobile Pre and Garageband/Logic, but it sounded like crap. No hiss and not too much distortion, just LOW volume. The mic was hardly used and I'm having a hard time believing the mic is the problem, just because I only used it a handful of times before the gain crapped out on me. The strong sensitivity came on and off a couple times after that, but the volume is now low all the time. The only other mic I've tried to use with the Profire is an SM57. It works, but really low gain. Guitars and keys have worked perfectly fine, no gain problems.
    I thought the original problem back in the day was my Mobile Pre, so I bought the Profire. Now I'm still having the same problem with ultra low volume. My mic used to pick up sounds from another room or even cars driving outside my window, and now I have to sing RIGHT into it for anything to even be audible. What the **** happened to my crisp/loud sounds? Is it possible that I'm not getting enough power? Would running the Profire via firewire 800 help at all? I'm going crazy here, I have no idea why my mic totally blows now. I guess at this point it seems like the mic could be the problem, but I'm scared of buying a new condenser mic and having the SAME problem all over again.
    What do you guys think? Power problems, the mic itself, wrong setup? All I want to do is pin point this thing, any help at all would seriously be appreciated!

    Since you've already swapped cables, I would guess it's either the mic or the interface. Since you've already swapped interfaces, logically I would guess it's the mic.
    Can you bring the mic to a music store or some other place where you could plug it into another interface or mixing board and see if it also doesn't work there? That would clinch it.

  • Low volume when importing from iTunes

    The volume level is fine when previewing in iMovie06 Media/Audio. After clicking "place at playhead", the imported audio track has very low volume.
    I tried other suggestions in this forum, including raising audio track level to 150%, and saving to CD and re-importing to iTunes as AIFF (which seemed to help a little), but still the volume level of the imported audio in iMovie is still way too low. This is originally a midi file my son created. It is not purchased or protected content. It imported into iTunes fine and sounds fine there. Had the same problem with a "jaws" audio clip downloaded free online. Fine in iTunes, barely audible after importing into iMovie.
    Experimenting, I made a brand new movie and only imported the audio clip, and the volume level was fine. So, it has something to do with the movie I'm working on.
    Help! I already blew a few hours on this issue and now am up against a deadline.

    Hi
    two ways
    a) Use an audio-editor like Audacity (freeware) and increase Your .aiff files
    b) You noticed that You can get the audio clip in to iMovie and amplify it to 150%
    • Copy this audio-clip. Paste it ontop of the first one = 300% amplified audio
    Do this as many times as You need it (until it gets audio distorsion)

  • FIX for low volume, sort of....

    I finally broke down and called tech support last night about the low volume issues I was having. The music and videos are all loud enough and when using the headset and/or headphones but calls, speakerphone and voice mail are all very low even when turned all the way up. To listen to the VMails I had to hold the bottom of the phone near my ear.
    When on the phone he told me to hold down the top button and the home key which I had done before but I always stopped when the slide to turn off appeared. He said to hold both down until the "apple logo" appeared. I did this twice.
    I did this and my volume increased by about 10-15% for the calls, speaker phone and VMail increased about 25% same for the music and videos. I can now hear the Vmails comfortably holding the iPhone about 2' in front of me no more holding it to my ear. The music and videos are now so loud that I dont have to turn it up past about half way.
    The volume for calls could still be a little louder as I still have it maxed out but that to is much better than before.
    He also asked if I used a case and I said yes but it didnt block the speaker. He asked me to remove the case as the entire bottom piece of the iPhone is thinner and a different material and allows sound through "in a way". I thought he was crazy but I removed my case and viola another nice volume increase for the VM, speakerphone, music and videos.

    Thanks, pool_shark and Tidbits.  I guess I'll have to wait for the 4.03 update.  I keep my volume at maximum.  I had a Plantronics bluetooth when I got the phone, have since purchased a Jawbone, a newer Plantronics, and a Blue Ant.  Have returned the first two and will return the Blue Ant if I don't get the update before the return period is over.  This is really frustrating, but at least it's good to know Google is working on a fix.
