Airplay volume very quiet with Pioneer amp suddenly.

I have a Pioneer VSX-2021 amp which has built in airplay. I'd been using it for several months with no problems now suddenly it is very quiet. I have to turn the volume up to maximum to just about hear the song that is playing. The amp volume is fine for everything else (internet radio, films, CDs etc) airplay is the only thing is effected. It is the same if I airplay from my phone or from itunes the volume is too quiet. I've been searching all over for why this is happening but it seems no one else has this problem. I can't understand why it is so quiet as it all used to work fine and at normal volume. Anyone else come across this problem or have an idea how to fix it?
Just to reiterate:
1. Used to work perfectly from itune or iphone
2. Still plays fine from iphone or itunes just increadable quietly
3. Amp volume is fine for any other input including playing songs from dlna server and internet radio

This problem has been resolved by doing a factory reset of the VSX-2021 amplifier.

Airplay does not connect with pioneer vsx-1121 anymore

After latest iTunes update airplay function does not connect with my pioneer vsx 1121 receiver anymore. I can see the reciver in the list when I click the airplay button but it does not connect and music keeps playing trough the laptop speakers. I am running win 7 and everything worked fine before the latest iTunes update.
Any ideas what is preventing the proper connection?

I am having the same problem. From my Ipad the pioneer vsx-1021K is visible. It connects, sound begins then stops after 2-3 seconds. This began in the last month. Infuriating. I can stream from my android to the device using double twist. I can stream to other devices like apple tv and Android apps like "hifispeaker" (a Airplay receiver for android).
What changed? It seems like there is something in the most recent Ipad updates? Some interfering application?
the Ipad is using IOS 6.1.3

Airport Express Speaker output very quiet with 60-cycle hum

I've previously hooked up my Airport Express to my stereo system via AirTunes, and it worked fine. But I just moved and set up my home network with my Airport Express connected to the stereo with the mini-stereo adapter. But now, when I play music over AirTunes, I can hear the music very faintly, but it's about the same volume as a 60-cycle electrical interference hum, and definitely not listenable. So I know the music is streaming and the AirPort is receiving, but I'm wondering if it's an electrical problem with the AirPort or output jack, or is there some software or hardware fit I can do myself. I've plugged in & out the cord, it works with an iPod, it's connected to a non-Phono jack of the stereo (AUX port), and I've reset the AirPort Express unit. Any other suggestions? Thanks in advance.

Hello AOSmith. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
To rule out your stereo or audio cable, try substituting a pair of stereo headphones plugged directly into the AX's audio port. Do you still hear the hum? If so, then the problem is either with the AX itself or the power source is not properly shielded. Try connecting the AX to a known good power strip; one that has surge protection and/or noise cancelling capability would be ideal, and then, plug this into the outlet that you had the AXn connected to. Did this help? If not, then unfortunately, the problem may be with either the AX's audio and/or power circuit.

6230i suddenly started playing ringtone very quiet...

Hi,
I've got an MP3 ringtone, which used to work fine. All of a sudden, it's started playing very quietly for the first couple of seconds, and then gradually getting louder.
I've got it set to maximum volume (5) and the "incoming call alert" to Ringing.
Any idea how to get it back to ringing with some volume.

My macbook pro is running very slow with some strange mouse and window movements. The trackpad is very unresponsive and when responding the cursor moves on its own and/or very erratically. When on safari the window suddenly zooms in or highlights words.

My macbook pro is running very slow with some strange mouse and window movements. The trackpad is very unresponsive and when responding the cursor moves on its own and/or very erratically. When on safari the window suddenly zooms in or highlights words and looks them up via dictionary. I currently have a wireless mouse connected and I am still having the same problems.
I fee like I may have a virus or my laptop is perhaps being accessed remotely. All of the sharing options are unchecked.
HELP PLEASE
Very worried!!

Try these in order testing your system after each to see if it's back to normal:
1. a. Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
    b. Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
2. Restart the computer in Safe Mode, then restart again, normally. If this doesn't help, then:
     Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the
     COMMAND and R keys until the Utilities menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and
     after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears.
     Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
3. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
     Reinstall the 10.9.2 update: OS X Mavericks 10.9.2 Update (Combo).
4. Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks: Reboot from the Recovery HD. Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks from the Utilities menu, and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
Reinstall the 10.9.2 update: OS X Mavericks 10.9.2 Update (Combo).

Have you tried another pair of headphones?
Yu can try the standard fixes to rule out a software problem:
- Reset. nothing is lost.
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory defaults/new iPod.

Can't answer the query, since I don't use thumb drives and my volume's very responsive. That said, please don't post using ALL CAPS. That's considered shouting and is very disconcerting.

My keyboard clicks suddenly go very quiet or disappear completely

When I start typing I can usually hear them but a few words in usually, they just disappear or go very quiet, they come back after a while but it gets very irritating. Right now, typing this, they've disappeared and came back thrice.
All sounds are on, side switch on, keyboard clicks on.

See if this helps.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

[solved] Sound very quiet

Sorry, already solved.
"amixer set Front unmute 100%" fixed the problem. Strangely enough, i muted and unmuted each and every playback device via alsamixer many times.
If you have similar problems try these three commands:
amixer set Master unmute 80%
amixer set Front unmute 100%
amixer set Headphone unmute 100%
Hello,
my sound is very very quiet. To hear something I have to turn my amplifier up to at least 1/2 volume. At that volume level it would usually be enough to be wake the neighbourhood.
I checked with alsamixer if the sound output was muted but it isn't. What's strange is that the sound output worked just fine today but a restart suddenly the sound was very quiet like this.
Any ideas what's causing this?
Mainboard is MSI H55M-ED55 with sound chip ALC889.

Volume output range with AirTunes

Just hooked up my new Airport Express with AirTunes. I'm driving the audio output from the AE directly into an amplifier and finding that the volume range is pretty narrow. I can adjust the gain on the amp but if I set it such that the minimum volume is quiet (like background music for dinner), then the maximum volume is not very loud. I can adjust the amp gain to make loud nice and LOUD but then minimum volume is still pretty loud.
I don't have this problem driving audio from my PowerBook headphone jack directly into the amp. It seems like the combination of the volume control in iTunes + the laptop's volume control gives a good range.
Does the Airport Express have adjustable gain? Do I have to buy a preamp if I want to get good volume range out of the AE?

Found a solution:
http://www.rogueamoeba.com/airfoil/mac/
It's got two stages of digital amping (volume control) so I can crank up the amp's gain and still dial the volume down low.

My guitar is very quiet when trying to record? How can I make it louder?

I just got a new iMac and am using GarageBand to record some guitar and it is very quiet even with everything maxed out (gain and volume on focusrite saffire pro 14, track and master volume, and amp sim volume). Is there anyway to make it louder? Chain is Fender Deluxe Lone Star Strat > Saffire Pro 14 > FireWire cord> iMac. Thank you.

Hi The App,
When you're plugged in, does the light that says "Inst" light up on the PRO 14? This indicates an instrument level input, and can be activated through Saffire Mix Control. Near the bottom of the window, make sure the channel your guitar is coming in through has "Inst" selected, rather than "line" (also make sure you turn down the gain before you do this). Let me know if this solves your issue.
Best Regards,
David Tichauer // Focusrite Technical Support

Bluetooth iPhone 4s car stereo very quiet

Hi everyone, I was wondering if someone could help me with an audio problem. Sometimes when I connect by iPhone 4s to my car stereo via Bluetooth, the audio is very quiet. Even with my volume turned all the way up on my phone and car stereo. Then other times ill connect them and it'll play normal and very loud. And way to fix this so it's loud all the time?-(when's it's quiet I turn it all the way up and it's still like background noise...)
TIA

I have the same problem with my iPhone 5S in my Subaru. Until someone can offer a fix, I am resorting to using FM, only.
