Airtunes volume (too loud!)

Here's the story:
I like to sit around the room and work on the Powerbook wire-free. So I'm listening to my music over AirTunes. I keep the Powerbook volume at 100%, and turn iTunes down to about 20% volume, because music coming 100% out of my AirPort speakers (which I'm too lazy to change the volume on) is just too loud.
Whenever I close iTunes with the AirTunes volume set to 20%, and reopen it, the volume is back up at 100%. I (of course) don't notice, start playing music, and wake up everyone in the neighborhood. I'm pretty sure this didn't happen before 10.4.4, because it's been a huge irritation the past few days, and I've never noticed it before.
Did I break something? Is there any way I can force iTunes to remember what I had the volume set at?

See this discussion: http://discussions.apple.com/click.jspa?searchID=-1&messageID=1524578
The above discussion is concerned with iTunes volume problems after waking the computer. Does your problem occur only after relaunching iTunes without having restarted or awakened your computer? Which version of iTunes are you using?

  • ITunes 10 upgrade makes airtunes volume too loud even at minimum setting

    I just updated to iTunes 10 this morning and love the interface and most of what is has to offer. I have, however, encountered an issue with the volume when streaming my music through Airtunes (or Airplay now) and my Airport Express to external speakers. I have an Express set up in my son's room and hooked up to a pair of computer speakers via a stero-mini to stereo-mini. Before the update the volume adjustment worked fine but after updating to iTunes 10 even the minimum volume is too loud for the white noise we put on to help him sleep. If you have ever had a fussy infant you understand that this is a HUGE problem. I've read the forums and come up with nothing. I know that I can manually change the master volume of the sleep sounds (get info on specific track and change master volume) but that's a ridiculous work-around. I've resorted to using Airfoil (an excellent program by the way) because I can't get Airplay to work right. All of the setting are there for it to be a real hit (individual volume settings for each set of external speakers - I have 2 airport express units) but they just DON'T WORK. What a shame that after an update I have to resort to a 3rd party program. I hope Apple hears this and updates very soon or the folks at Airfoil are going to be getting a lot of business very soon. Next post is at Engadget and Mashable
    cool. please let me know if you've found a setting that I don't know about.
    thx.

    iTunes 10 allows each AirTunes (AirPlay) zone to have a separate volume. Try selecting "Multiple Speakers" in the "AirPlay" tab and adjust the volume from there. Also make sure the "Preferences" settings are set to allow for remote volume to be set.

  • Nokia 2700 handsfree kit volume too loud

    my car (2007 bmw with fitted in bluetooth handsfree kit) connects fine with the new 2700 nokia i bought, however people keep telling me that they can hear me too loud over the phone, while in the car the volume is ok. I didn't have this problem with my previous nokia model, or with the one my son has, 5310 Xpress Music. The problem is that i can change the volume settings in the car, only the speaker volume that is,and the phone, once connected, doesnt allow any change of volume settings.
    it is just the microphone volume, so not the speaker volume, and that i don't have this problem with other nokia models...
    Yours sincerely,
    Nicolas

    As always, as this is a place where people will often/likely come when they have an issue of some sort you can't really measure whether or not something is structural or 'general occuring' by posts here. No one would deny that you may have an issue, but if it were as widespread as you seem to think it would be all over the media which is isn't.
    I'd have the phone checked at the retailer or a Nokia Care Point.

  • Bluetooth volume too loud, volume step 1 is silent

    Did this too... Still the same... 

    When connecting a Sony SBH-20 Bluetooth Headset to my Z1 Compact there is no sound when Bluetooth voume is set to 1. I need to raise it to 2 for the sound to be output and then it is too loud for me when listening to music. SW version in mobile is 1.4.4.A.0.108I have also tried with a Jabra Play BT headset with same result.Update: Now I have tried with a Sony SBH80 and then it works ! Step 1 on the volume does output sound and on a reasonable level when playing music.For the SBH20 and Jabra Play the problem persists, but to be clear the in-call volume works fine on all steps, it is the Media/Music volume that is silent on step 1. It also seams that step 10 does not give any increase for Media on these two headsets. SW error ?

  • 7100 Supernova alarm clock volume too loud

    How can I change the volume for the alarm clock, it's way too loud! I tried different ringing tones for the alarm, but they are all very loud. Changing the ringing volume doesnt seem to effect the alarm volume. Is there any fix or other solution for this?

  • Creative Sound Blaster Arena Headset HS-1100 Windows 7 Volume Too Loud

    I have a strange problem with my Creative Arena Headset. The volume level of it is too high.
    To avoid hurting my ears, i have to set the master volume in the windows mixer to 4/00, this causes a problem when running other applications and adjusting volume. For instance, when running skype, the volume control within the application is literally either "off" or "on" and I can often here every bit of buzzing and background noise that I cant hear through my speakers seperately.
    Also, because the volume has to be set at 4/00, the feature in windows to automatically adjust volume levels of applications doesnt work, so I cannot use the feature of automatically lowering the volume of music when chatting online.
    This poses an annoying problem i have tried to resolve for a while now (ever since I have had this headset).
    I am running the latest drivers from your download site: XFHP_PCDRV_LB__0_000 on the Windows 7 operating system.
    I have also reinstalled the drivers and tried the headset on a different computer and it results in the same massi'vely loud volume.
    Is there any reason my headset is so loud? Is there anything I can do about it?

    @Dodgetimmy,
    Can you try reinstalling the headset using the driver from the installation cd? You might also want to try using the generic drivers by simply plugging the headset to the PC without installing the Creative drivers to see if it makes a difference.

  • Lumia 900: Speaker volume too loud, headphone volu...

    I know this issue has been posted before, but I wanted to see if there are any updates. There was a firmware update to fix the purple hue problem, and was hoping this that this issue would be resolved along with it, but no such luck. The external speaker cannot get quieter than 7/30. Anything below that seems to do little or nothing. The alarms are scary loud even at 1/30. I can't turn music at work because even the lowest volume is WAY too high.
    The other problem is that the volume out of the headphone jack is way too soft. I have to bring the volume up to 30/30 to not have to crank the volume to a deafening level in the car, for example. If I forget to bring the volume down to 1/10 when I get out of the car, I get startled by a loud notification. It's a constant game of going from 1/30 to 30/30 and back to 1/30. It is very frustrating! Can we expect a fix for this sometime soon?
    -Jonathan

    I agree there is a volume bug on the Lumia 900 - I have had my black Lumia for about 5-6 days now. I used my previous phones as my alarm in the morning and wanted to continue to do the same with this device. With the preinstalled alarms app, regardless of whether I have the volume at 1/30 , 15/30 or 25/30, when the alarm sounds it is incredibly loud. Not a very good way to wake up in t he morning so I am currently still using my IPhone as my alarm clock. Let's get a bug fix out for this Nokia; I am having to use a 3GS to pick up your slack.

  • Headphone volume too loud in Facetime calls - iPad Mini Retina 7.1.1

    Hi,
    I have an iPad Mini Retina Space grey 32GB Wifi version updated to the newest iOS 7.1.1.
    I've noticed that the headphone volume during Facetime calls is always extremely loud even on lowest volume setting and there's no way to lower the volume further down. It's independent of the person I call, and the same problem appears in both in Facetime video and Facetime audio calls.
    The bug only appears in the Facetime app and only after inserting the headphones and (not noticable when using the speaker). Setting a volume limit in Settings doesn't affect this loud volume during Facetime calls. I've tried 3 different headphones and I've also done a full reset of the iPad and setting up a completely new iCloud account.
    I also have an iPad Mini (1st gen) and an iPhone 4 and I don't experience this bug on those devices.
    Have anyone experienced the same bug? Any solution?

    pandora?      once I got used to it, it bacame second nature to simple reach over and toggle the hotspot off and on.  not great if you have the constant need, but if you have the constant need, it wouldnt be shutting down in the first place.  
    If this is a big issue for you, and there is no persistant wifi available, you might think about a standalone portable hotspot.  Pretty much every carrier in the US has one they would be happy to sell you, along with a data plan.

  • Conference join tone volume too loud

                       Does anyone know how or if the join tone on conference calls can be adjusted on a UC560?  We get a lot of complaints that it is too long and loud.  Of course if I turn it off I get complaints they don't know they have joined the conference.

    The tones can be completely customized in the CLI: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/voice_ip_comm/cucme/admin/configuration/guide/cmeconf.html#wp1021172
    Unfortunately I do not believe CCA offers anything other than the default.

  • Home connect speaking volume too loud

    I recently purchased Home connect.  I have 3 bars of signal.  The speaking volume is so loud that the audio is breaking up and severly distorted.  We purchased new high end Panasonic cordless phones-same problem.  The corded phone sounds the same.  I went through the ##1 process and set the level to 1.  I think this changes the listening volume not the speaking volume.  It did not change the symtoms.  Not sure where to go from here.
    Thanks for any thoughts

  • Volume too loud. Mixer always resets to 100%.

    Using:
    Windows 7 64bit.
    Firefox 19.0.2
    Flash Version 11,6,602,180
    My volume in flash defaults to almost horrifying levels. In the mixer I tone it down but every time I close firefox it resets itself back to 100%. When I go into flash settings there does not appear to be a volume slider anywhere. The only thing I can see is a mic slider.
    The easy answer would be to turn my system volume down but for my computers multiple uses it is impossible to find a "happy medium". Each of my programs has seperate settings except for Adobe Flash Player which I cannot seem to find or get to work in the mixer. Any help would be greatly appreciated

    Bump, still not fixed.

  • Headphone sound too loud - how to get very fine volume control in osx

    I could not use my headphones on my new MBP, because the sound was always too loud, even on the smallest setting. It appears that lots of other people have similar problems, so here is a way to fix this:
    To get very fine sound volume control I use soundflower fromhttp://code.google.com/p/soundflower/. You have to restart after installing it. Then go to preferences/sound/output and choose soundflower(2ch). Start soundflower from the applications folder, click on the flower symbol in the top pannel and soundflower(2ch) built in output. Then go to Audio setup and change the master for soundflower(2ch). This way you can get the global sound less loud or you can amplify it.
    Hope this helps a few people

    You saved my life (and my ears) ! Thank you marcel-sl for sharing this (;
    Prety cool software if you have an USB headset too loud. Now, I can use F11 and F12 (;

  • Headphone volume is always too loud

    My new laptop is unacceptably loud when using headphones in the combo jack. The sound is bearable at exactly 1 volume, which obviously leaves no room for adjustment. This was not a problem with my previous laptop, an old HP Pavilion dv6t. That computer also had Beats Audio, but the version number was higher, and it recognized my headphones as being different from the laptop speakers. On my new ENVY 15, the only playback device is Speaker/HP, and it uses the same profile when I'm using headphones.
    Is there a way to lower the volume all around? I am currently using the recommended driver for this model, which is odd, because it's apparently an earlier version than the computer I bought years ago. Can I replace or upgrade driver or Beats Audio Control Panel?

  • Volume too low, how to make it louder?

    Several times I have highlighted all the songs in my library and have right-clicked, the hit "get info," then I have moved the volume adjustment over to +100% I still find while at the gym I can hear their radio over my music, and theirs isn't even that loud. Is there anything else that I can do?

    You Can try other EarPhones .. Try the In-Ear Headphones. The sound Is Improved and Maybe Better.
    Just a tip. Dont Play Your music too Loud, It could Brake your Earphones.

    I want to talk in skype on my iphone 5, and watch YouTube together. But I can't hear on skype because YouTube is too loud. How can I control the two different volumes?

    This is a user to user support forum.  We are all iphone users just like you.
    You are not addressing Apple here at all.
    This is an odd way to ask your fellow iphone users for help. Berating oterh users will not help you.
    "it's too fragile"
    No it is not.  i have never damaged one, nor has anyone I know.
    " U loose data when Ur phone is locked"
    No you don't.  Why do you think this?
    "and there is no customer support!!!  "
    Wrong yet again.  Apple has an 800 number and they have many retail stores and they have support articles that you can access using the search bar. Or you can contact them throgh express lane online
    "but I will go back with Blackberry "
    Please do.
