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?

Unable to adjust volume, no sound output

I downloaded the recent updates a day or two ago and haven't used my computer much since. I now find that I cannot adjust the sound (using the menu bar icon, the system prefs, or the keyboard function keys). When I press the key to adjust sound, I see the normal display (speaker with waves) with a slashed circle at the bottom.
In the Sound pane in system prefs, on the output tab, the only device I see Digital Out. Shouldn't I see "internal speakers" or something?
TIA

The headphone jack might be bad. It should switch to the internal speakers with nothing plugged in. It may be switching to optical (which has no volume control) instead. Can you see the light from the LED in the headphone jack? Try plugging, and unplugging the headphones a few times, to get the internal speakers to work? Did they ever work? If not, is it under warrantee (less than one year old, or three years if you bought AppleCare).

Adjusting volume on different sounds (sms, ring, etc)

Is there a way to adjust the volume on sound events within the 3g Iphone?
Say I want my ring volume to be a certain level but I want my alert tone for a SMS to be a lot lower. Is that possible to change the levels? I'm missing something easy (which is totally possible) or the volume slider is for everything (which would suck)
Thanks for the help!

I'm wondering the same thing hopefully someone will respond

Audio Codec Error after adjusting volume V 7.02

I get an error reading audio file on playback after using
Adjust Volume tool, Presenter V7.02. I have to re-record the
audio.

Hi,
Try the following.
Download the IDT Audio installer on the link below and save it to your Downloads folder.
http://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp56001-56500/sp56429.exe
When done, open windows Control Panel, open Device Manager and open up Sound, Video and Game Controllers. Right click the IDT device and select Uninstall - you should also get a prompt to remove the current driver, tick the box to allow this and then proceed with the uninstall.
When complete, shut down the notebook, unplug the AC Adapter and then remove the battery. Hold down the Power button for 30 seconds. Re-insert the battery, plug in the AC Adapter and start the notebook.
Let Windows fully load - it will automatically load an audio driver, but just let it complete. Then open your Downloads folder, right click on the IDT installer and select 'Run as Administrator' to start the installation. When this has completed, restart the notebook again.
Regards,
DP-K

Need some help! My iPhone 4 cannot play music through it's built in speaker, only with headphones. I also cannot adjust volume, it only shows "ringer". I really do not know when it starts. I already clean the jack and dock,reset it and still cannot be fixed. I updated it to IOS 7.1.1 recently only, does it have connection with the inconvenience I am experiencing right now? What should I do? Thanks!

Adjusting volume to account for recordings of unequal quality

I'm creating an iMovie with photo clips and music. I know how to view and adjust volume levels on the audio. Each of the song bits that I'm using are entered at the same volume level.
However, during playback, some songs are quite loud and others seem too soft.
How do I make them more the same...is it even possible?
sgc

sgcable,
"How do I make them more the same...is it even possible?"
Two songs set to the same volume level in iMovie will not necessarily sound that way. The level for any particular piece of audio is relative to the level at which it was originally recorded at.
So, in your case, you might try lowering the level of the audio that's too loud and raising it for those clips that seem too soft.
Let your ears be your guide, not volume settings themselves.

Cannot adjust volume during calls on iPhone 6 (using EarPods)

I cannot adjust my volume on the iPhone 6 during the call on the EarPods. I can only adjust volume while the call is ringing or before a call, but once the person picks up, neither the phone's buttons or EarPods would adjust volume. It's once when I hang up and my music starts playing again, the music blasts my ear from the volume change I did (during the call).
The volume button works fine during calls when I don't use any earphones.
Is there a way to fix this?

Good Afternoon lopakamac,
If you are having trouble hearing a conversation on your iPhone, try the following steps:
If you can't hear a person on a call or voicemail or if the sound quality is poor on iPhone - Apple Support
http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT203800
Turn up the volume
While you're on a call, adjust the volume with the volume buttons:
Also while you're on a call, make sure that you can see the volume indicator on the screen when you press the volume buttons:
Check the connections
If your iPhone is connected to a headset, you won't be able to hear through the iPhone receiver or using speakerphone. Follow these steps, testing after each.
Make sure that you don't have anything plugged in to the headphone jack or the dock connector.
Go to Settings > Bluetooth and turn off Bluetooth.
Clear the receiver
The iPhone receiver won't work properly if it's blocked or dirty. Here's where the receiver is:
Follow these steps, testing after each:
Make sure nothing is blocking the receiver, such as a case or film.
If you have a new iPhone, remove the plastic film on the front and back of the device.
Check the receiver opening to see if it's blocked or dirty. If necessary, clean the receiver opening with a clean, small, dry, soft-bristled brush.
While you're on a call, turn on speakerphone. If you still can't hear, then your network or reception could be the issue. Try calling again later or from a different location.
Restart and update
Restart your iPhone and test again.
If there's still no sound or poor sound quality, update to the latest version of iOS.
Get more help
If you've tried these steps and there's still no sound or poor sound quality from your iPhone, contact Apple Support.

Adjusting Volume on Droid X

To ensure you are getting the best volume out of your Droid X, be sure to double check these settings on your new device!
-Menu
-Settings
-Sound and Display Settings
*Ensure that Silent mode is not checked (if you want audible sound)
*Check that your Ringer Volume is set at the appropriate volume level.
*Check that your Media Volume (for music and videos) is set to the volume level. *In addition check your Media Audio Effects option to ensure it is set to whatever device you may be using it with (wired stereo device) or just the phones speaker.
*Ensure that your Phone Ringtone is set to an audible sound, or a sound that is loud enough to alert you (some sounds may be softer than others)
*Ensure that your Notification Ringtone is set to an audible sound or a sound that is loud enough to alert you. (again, some sounds may be softer than others)
Check out more information at http://search.vzw.com/?do=viewdoc&id=33910
Note: If you have an alarm set, ensure that all the above is set to the desired volume levels, and if you have a task killer, do not end task/kill the alarm clock program. Ending the task, or killing the application will cause your alarm to not respond at the appropriate time. Depending on the task killer you can set the alarm clock program to be an exception when killing a task.
If the above does not resolve the issue, a soft reset would be recommended. A soft reset is pulling the battery out of the device for a few seconds, and placing it back in.
This information as well as other informaiton you may need on your new device can be found by selecting your model number and manufacture on our support site www.verizonwireless.com/support. Here you can do a quick search for what you are looking for.
Hope this helps!

Dear moates (Verizon Wireless Employee),
Although it is very kind of you to post info on adjusting volume on the Droid X, Droid X users may reasonably find your post frustrating if not insulting and/or offensive.
The alleged low volume/speaker issue/problem on certain batches or units of the Droid X is well documented by dozens, even hundreds (probably thousands) of Droid X owners on many different forums (Verizon forums, Droid forums, Android forums, etc.). All of these forum threads contain the information that you put in your post. In addition, the information that you put in your post is available in the Droid X manual, over the phone from Verizon tech support, and in many other forum posts. In short, you have said nothing new. The reason many Droid X owners may find this frustrating if not insulting and/or offensive is that many of them have already repeatedly gone through every detail in your post (and more) while on the phone with Verizon and Motorola tech support, while still experiencing a serious low volume/speaker problem on their Droid X. Nonetheless, the vast majority of Verizon tech support employees continue to tell Droid X owners who call in to report/document the alleged low volume/speaker issue/problem that Verizon has no knowledge of any such problem. Oddly, some Verizon tech support employees tell Droid X owners who call in to report the problem that Verizon knows about the problem and that a firmware fix is in the works. This inconsistency is troubling to many Droid X owners.
Whether the volume/speaker problem only plagues certain Droid X batches/units, and whether the volume/speaker problem is due to hardware or to firmware, in any case a firmware update that increases the potential volume of all Droid X units will help solve the problem.
Here are just two forum threads that contain reports of the alleged volume/speaker problem on the Droid X, even when all volume settings are adjusted to play the maximum volume level (note that when Verizon rearranged the forum communities, some of the forum posts/threads were cut off in some links, while some of the threads continue on in the relevant newly arranged forum community):
1) http://community.vzw.com/t5/DROID-X-by-Motorola/Volume-issue-on-new-Droid-X/td-p/227520;jsessionid=1BF0216A30F98F0470050FD66E67A3AA
2) http://www.droidforums.net/forum/droid-x-general-discussions/59913-droid-x-speaker-volume.html
What would be helpful is for representatives from Verizon (such as yourself) to comment on the actual problem: the large number of Droid X owners who experience very low volume/speaker performance even when the obvious settings on the phone (and listed in your recent forum post) are doubled-checked. Would you like us to organize a public online petition? A class action law suit? Most Droid X owners are not hostile and do not want to go those routes because they love their new phones as well as Verizon's otherwise excellent services. One of the only problems is the failure of Verizon adequately to address the alleged low volume/speaker issue/problem. A forum post that lists known information is inadequate because it makes no progress towards solving, reducing, and/or addressing the problem.
Could you give Droid X owners the courtesy of a more direct response to the allegedly very low volume/speaker problems that persist even when the settings listed in your post are appropiately adjusted and double-checked?
Thank you for your consideration.

Audio adjustable only in sound system preference

On my 2 years old Macbook Pro 17" since last week my sound volume only is adjustable by adjusting them in Sound System preferences,
The slider in my menu bar still shows and my sound buttons on my keyboard still work with 'beeping' sounds, but has no effect to my actual sound volume.
in system preferences everything is still on 'internal speaker' and showing normal levels.
Does anyone know how to get my buttons and my menu bar slider work again on my actual sound volume?

Try a pram reset:
Power off, then power on andbefore the start up chime hold the keys option,command,P,R(no commas)continue to hold these keys till you hear the the chime 2 times, then release.
Reboot.

How do you turn off volume blip sound

I like to turn off that annoying volume blipping sound when I adjust via keyboard. I like to use it with PA equipment. ????

Bill,
Try this:
Open System Preferences>Sound and click on the Sound Effects tab.
There you'll find a check box for "Play feedback when volume is changed".
I'm running Tiger, but I think a similar setting is in Panther as well.

HI Jaime,
Open System Preferences/Sound. Click the Output tab.
Make sure the Mute button is not selected at the bottom of that pane.
Try Resetting the PRAM
If that didn't help, go to /Library/Preferences and move the com.apple.soundpref.plist file to the Trash.

How to adjust volume on Audio Timelines

A couple questions about volume adjustment on the various Audio Timelines on Premiere Pro CS 5.
1) How to adjust volume level of an mp3 on the Audio 2 timeline?
2) How to adjust or mute volume of an 'individual' video clip on the Video 1 and Audio 1 timeline? (I have many clips on the timeline and know how to mute them all, but in this case, I'm looking to only mute certain clips in the timeline.)

Along with the material covered in the Help File, that Ann linked to, see this ARTICLE. It goes into a little more detail on the differences between Clip Keyframes and Track Keyframes (generated with Audio Mixer). While the effect of those can be the same, there are nuances, that one should make note of.
Good luck,

Adjust volume

Using Captivate 6, is it possible to have a playbar that the learner can use to adjust the volume of the audio? I know it is easy to get the mute button to turn audio on or off, but it does not adjust volume. There is a variable, cpCmndVolumet, but I don't know how that could be incorporated into the playbar.

More clear view -
From your desktop application list go to Profile -> Advanced -> highlight the active profile -> click Menu then Edit -> highlight Calendar (or any other item as required) and hit trackball set the following -
Out of Holster    : Tone
Tune                : Select desired tune
Volume             : hight/medium/low
In Holster          : Tone
Tune                : Select desired tune
Volume             : hight/medium/low

Adjust Volume Across All Slides In Project

Captivate v5.5
Does anyone have any experience in working with the Audio/Edit/Adjust Volume option in Captivate v5.5?
I have created a project over a few days and the level of volume of some of the slides varies - some louder some not so loud and I now need to set the same audio level for all the slides.
I have tried the above option (for the project) but this makes no difference.
Can anyone help me with suggested settings for the above that will result in the same volume level for all slides?
Noel

My request for guidance was due to the fact I could not get the "Noramlise" option to work for my project's entire audio - and assumed I was doing something wrong.
In fact I dont think I was doing anything wrong...I think it is Captivate that is at fault!!!!
Here is the situation - in full.
Working in v5.5 I want to "normalise" the audio of all slides in a project.
I go: Audio/Edit/Project and get following:
(Keep in mind...I selected "Project").
Next I open "Adjust Volume"
Select "Normalise" and click OK....
The result was no change to my project audio - and that was why I contacted the forum.
Since then I have found out what would seem to be a bug or a design fault (same thing some would say)
Despite my selecting "Project"
You have to right click the audio and then "Select All" before the changes to the project's audio will work. Having selected "Project" I would have expected the audio for the project would have been selected - or at least a pop up to inform you to select all the audio before making changes.
Live and Learn.....
Noel
