Alarm Volume Issue!

I keep getting to work late assuming this iPhone alarm will wake me... it does an awesome job when I dont bother to adjust the volume in my video playback, iPod or Safari playback . The problem is, if I choose to turn the volume down, lets say while watching a H.265 video in Safari and dont bother to turn it back up before bed... MY ALARM WILL RING AT THE LAST SETTING (very low) I PUT IN WHILE SURFING SAFARI!!
This really is a pain because if I forget to turn it back up, im late for work. WE NEED ALARM VOLUME SETTINGS separate from everything else.

here is what is happening......you only have the probem in the internet....this is why.
the internet, because we so seldomly use sound while surfing the web, runs off the same speaker as the ringer. When you turn down the volume in the internet, no matter what site you are on, you are turning down the sound on the ringer.
Open any page in safari...with or without sound, when you turn down the volume, the ringer volume comes up on the screen.
Perhaps there should be a different setting for the alarm, I am just beginning to wonder though as folks conitue to come up with all these "things" that he phone should be doing, if it is even possible. There is a limit to how much software the phone can hold...yes?
Anyways, that is what is happening Jerry, so until an update occurs, if ever, you are just going to have to get into the habit of turning it back up or checking it just before you go to sleep.

Is there a way to pre-set the alarm volume on iPhone?

Is there a way to pre-set the alarm volume on iPhone? Every evening I have to remember to adjust the volume to 3 bars, versus full volume during the day.

I cannot believe this problem hasn't been rectified yet!
If I use the pre installed ringtone as an alarm and set it low so I don't jump out of my skin, then my call volume is too low the next day, so have to change it.
If I use a song as an alarm, I have the same problem, but its when I watch a video. I set it quiet, then jump out of my skin the next morning if I've left it tuned up after watching YouTube. Also works the other way if I've watched a video with the sound down, and forget to turn it back up, then I don't hear my alarm, which makes me late!
It could also do with an ascending volume option, so it starts nice and quiet to wake you gradually. My old phones from pre iPhone days had these features and they worked great.
Surely this isn't that much of an issue to sort out. Yet I've seen posts back as far as 2006 complaining about it.
Come on apple pull your finger out!

Volume Issues - Too Loud & Too Soft

This is a problem I've had for awhile now. It's getting unbearably frustrating. Volume issues, where the default value for sound ranges outside what the iPhone should be capable of doing. So for example if the volume goes from 0% to 100%, my phone will be completely random and range from -50% to 150%.
How can it be less then 0% you might ask, when moving the slider mid way the volume is completely off and any lower doesn't make a difference, then I'll receive an email notification and BAM the volume goes up 300% and it's so loud it feels like the speaker is going to explode. This problem happens at any time but mostly after or while using headphones or car bluetooth.
Example of my issue in action, I'll plug AUX in the car into the phone, play music, driving along, randomly goes to half volume. I'll turn up the stereo to compensate, one minute later I'll get an email and the volume resumes to normal operating volume and I almost sh** my pants in fright.
Another example is I'll be watching a video late at night before bed on youtube or something with the volume all the way down, then the next morning my phone alarm will not sound or it will but insanely softly. The work around for this is to play music right before locking my phone with the volume up all the way. Just move the volume up all the way, play > pause and there you have it, volume working agian.
And one last example, randomly it goes really really loud. Like how is this possible loud. I'll dial a number and when pressing the buttons instead of a beep beep beep. I get fog horn BEEEEEEP BEEEEP BEEEEP. But as soon as the call starts the volume sets itself back to normal. Kind of like how when playing music without head phones with volume on max sets it back to normal.
Things you should note:
Ringer volume has been locked to maximum, but quite often won't abide by this rule.
I've reset the phone and setup as new iPhone, problem still occurs.
Please don't give a solution like, "Have you checked your sound volume in settings". I'm not stupid.
Also, please don't give a solution unless you understand the difference between "Notification and Tone Volume" and "Media Volume".
Other then that. Please help, this is driving me mental.

I recently did the last firmware upgrade for my ipod nano 5th gen and can't set the maximim limit.
It can be set, but wont stick and I can still go above the limit.
Did something break with the firmware upgrade.

Volume issues with GE60 Apache Pro-003

I recently picked up the new GE60 Apache Pro notebook, and I've been running it for about a week now. I should of course mention that I also did a clean windows install after adding an SSD to the system (and now can't figure out how to add back that cool MSI panel that was there when I first got the system).
Anyway, I've noticed that there seems to be volume issues with the system no matter WHAT kind of settings I tweak, or drivers I try to use. With all sliders up at maximum, the volume levels still never seem to surpass around 50% (from observing the volume gauges in the Windows Volume mixer panel). My previous notebook's speakers put out significantly higher volume, and was also able to put out far more power to my headphones (Audio Technica ATH-M50).
Any possible ideas for the cause and solution to this problem? Thanks in advance, and let me know if there is anything else I need to mention.

What are you using to gauge the '50%'? MP3's? Windows sounds? or what?
Pretty much everything. Music, games, online videos... According to the volume mixer, the audio levels never seem to pass 50%. The grey bar bounces to the peak, but the green bar never seems to pass the 50% level. It's as if there's some sort of limiter in place I'm not aware of. And since I reformatted the notebook as soon as I got it, I was never able to see if the volume control worked correctly before the reformat.

How do I set my iPod's alarm volume separate from that of the other sounds?

First of all, I tried to post this to the iOS Apps community, but there doesn't seem to be one for the Clock app.
I wake up by the alarm feature on my iPod Touch, but sometimes the volume is turned down super low because throughout the day I have the volume in Settings>Sounds>Ringer and Alerts turned down while I teach. I did have the "Change with Buttons" turned on, but that seems to set the music volume the same, which I don't want (hearing a loud mail bing while listening to Bon Iver just isn't the mood I'm going for).
I think the simplest solution, and probably most obvious since many of us use our Clock's Alarm feature, is to have it's own volume somewhere like Settings>Notifications>Clock. Something like that. But I can't find it. And if there were options to turn off the sounds in Settings>Notifications>Mail - or any of the preloaded iOS software - that would work, too. But there's not from what I can see.
Has anyone found a workaround for this? How can I keep my Alarm volume without disturbing class all day with Mail and other notifications' sounds? I'd hate to find out that the "Most advanced iOS" still relies on me turning down the volume after I wake up and trying to remember it when I go back to sleep - both times when I'm too sleepy to think.

This works on an iPod Touch, OS 6.1.6.
Basically you need to
- turn off "change with buttons" in Settings->Sounds->Ringer and alerts
- turn on "do not disturb" in Settings.
This way
- the lateral buttons will only affect the music sound;
- all notifications, lock, and unlock will be silent
- but the alarm overruns this, and can still be heard (at the same volume as the music was last left to, I presume).
So you can listen to Bon Iver withouth emails swooshing in and out, and you don't need to remember changing the volume before going to sleep and after waking up I have to say: pretty cumbersome to figure out, Apple!

Has Anyone sent the iphone in for repair for the low volume issue ???

I called apple last week and spoke with a level on support agent. After he could not solve the volume issue they sent me to level two. the level two tech took the call and told me right away that they were going to send me a new phone. I give him my credit card as a deposit so they would send a new phone and when I had the new phone I could then send the old one back. Well after a few days I called to check on the phone and found out he never placed the order and now they say they want to send it for repair some place in Texas. They did offer the rent me a phone for 29.00 while I wait for repair. I told them no rental for me. How bad is that, a hardware issue and they say they are going to send a new phone and never do then they offer a repair and to rent me a phone. I was wondering if anyone had sent in the phone for this issue yet. I do not think I am going to send it in and I think I am going to get my refund while I still can. I just thought I would check to see if anyone had sent the phone in for repair yet and how it worked out.
Andrew

How are any of us (Apple users just like you) supposed to have any idea?
We weren't there. We don't know the specifics of what happened to your iPhone.
Ask the store that repaired it.

Is anyone having volume issues with the new Iphone 4S?

Is anyone having volume issues with the new Iphone 4S?

Yes, the volume on my iPhone 4s will max out without me touching any button or setting. When opening mail, for instance, the ringer icon will appear and the volume level goes to max volume - and I'm not touching the volume buttons. It seems to happen randomly, at least I can't identify a pattern, but thankfully it doesn't happen all the time, but at least once a day.
Anyone else seen this?

Garageband/logic volume issue

ok so.... i basically finished the pre-production of my album and everything sounds absolutely fantastic.... through garageband and logic that is. when i export the song to itunes or my desktop, everything is very distorted. i understand that this is a volume issue. when i have "auto-normalize" on, everything sounds just the way it should but very quite. so, in an effort to make it louder, i turn off this option. the volume level returns to normal but everything is distorted. how can i fix this? can i have some examples of EQing, compression, and filtering? i am recording through a Lexicon lambda into my iMac 24 inch.

none of the tracks clip at all throughout the songs. ive messed around with all EQ settings and compression but it still sounds distorted when i export it. all im trying to do is export the song and the same quality it was at in garageband... if i out the song through logic or protools, will it help my problem?

Alarm clock issue after OS upgrade to 5..0.0.973

I upgraded to 5.0.0.973 and now I have issues with my alarm clock not displaying the time while charging at my bed side. I have Verizon and tried using the latest upgrade from Sprint. 5.0.0.1030 but the alarm clock issue remains. Rolling back the upgrade I am told would be one answer, but is there a way to dispose of the offending file somehow might be a good fix. Totally frustrated with BB at this point. One of the few things l like about my phone and they mess it up!! The Droids and the I-wanttobetrackedeverywhereIgophone is looking attractive these days.

Well i have the same issue, let me go over the items i have done.
First did the OTA upgrade. Issue happened.
then i downgraded to .886. worked normal.
Updated with Desktop Manager. Issue happened.
Wipe of Device to see if software conflict. Issue still happens.
also done several batteries pulls to see if that would fix it. still issue happens.
I've just downgraded again to .886 and it works. at this point i am going to be staying with .886 unless a fix is found for .973.

Pre alarm volume

I'm a 1 week old Palm Pre user. Is there a way to set the alarm volume levels separate from the phone volume level? REALLY important to me! Thanks to any- and everyone!
Post relates to: Pre p100eww (Sprint)

Am also a new Pre user. It chuckles all night long. I want the sound off so I can sleep, but the alarm to ring in the morning. My Blackberry did this ...

Alarm volume too low - iPhone 4S / iOS 6.1

Hi,
I use the standard iOS alarm, and put my phone into DND mode overnight (manually). The alarm still goes off in the morning, but the volume is inconsistent, even though I set the Ringer and Alerts volume to the max. I have vibration turned on as well, and it actually saved my bacon this morning, as the alarm volume was VERY low.
I usually listen to podcasts before I go to sleep, but always do the following before going to sleep:
Unplug headphones
Return to the home screen
Go to settings to manually turn on DND mode
Return to the home screen
Max the ringer volume with the volume + button
Plug in the charger and hear the charging chime (quite loud)
Lock the screen and hear the lock sound (again, quite loud)
Yesterday the alarm volume was about half. This morning it was at the lowest volume. Seems inconsistent.
Anyone else havuing this problem?
Thanks,
Todd

Update to previous post: The speaker volume was low before updating to 6.1.3. I don't remember it ever working well.

Ipod & Itunes Volume Issue

Hi,
I am having a problem with my iPod volume. It was not loud enough when the volume was turned up even halfway (barely audible). Only when I crank the volume to the max is it loud, but when I turn it down, to even three quarters it is not loud enough.
So, I ended up updating to the latest version with the ipod updater, and added some more tracks to my ipod from iTunes. Now, iTunes is doing the same thing when I listen to the tracks on my computer! Even when I play a cd through iTunes, it is not very loud, but when I play the same cd through Windows Media Player, the volume is correct, and the sound is great.
So, I think the volume issue on the iPod is now transferred to iTunes.
How do I fix this?
I have a brand new computer, and havent had any problems with this before. I have the 60GB iPod Photo.
thanks!
dell inspiron 9300 Windows XP
Windows XP Windows XP

No, I checked that. Its weird, in that the volume was too low on the iPod and it was fine on my computer, but when I updated my iPod it transferred to iTunes and now it is acting the same way.
I dont know what else to try! help!

Alarm Volume on Nokia E5

Hello,
Does anyone know how to control the alarm volume on the nokia E5? Just got the phone a week ago and almost had a heart attack every morning. I tried controlling it via the profile "normal" and customize but the volume only works for the actual ring. Please help!
Thx,
Dan

Its not covered in the manual because Ringtone volume is controlled by sound profiles' settings.
Menu -> Settings -> Profiles -> [up/down to select profile] press Options (Left Soft or Navi key) -> Adjust -> scroll down to Ringtone Loudness -> press Change (again: Left Soft or Navi key) and adjust it by pressing left/right.
Volume buttons are controlling media players' volume when they're on (Music Player, Real Player), or volume during calls.
[Sorry if the names of options differ slightly, my software is in another language so I'm just guessing, but you should easily get it right anyway]
Did it help? Then hit the green Kudos Star button on the left.

MacBook Pro Volume Issue

Hi, All.
I have a MacBook Pro with a 15" monitor, 2.8 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor. Currently working with OS 10.6.8.
I'm not sure since when, but I'm having this issue:
Even though I turned the volume off, every time I shut down and boot up, or restart, the machine, the volume automatically goes up to about the middle of the indicator. I know it may not be a critical issue, but sometimes I forget about the volume problem, the loud sound makes me jump and it's quite annoying. (Especially in public.)
I'm wondering if anyone else is experiencing the same problem and if there is a way to solve the problem.
Any information will be appreciated.
Best,

Hello, tjk. Thanks for your reply.
After you told me, I did PRAM resets several times, but unfortunately I'm still having the same volume issue.
I've been doing online researches for while to find the solution for this problem, but I don't see any other people having the same problem. Probably this is a new issue?
Thanks.

Can't adjust the alarm volume

Why is it that the alarm volume does not change if you change the phone volume setting on the 1-30 scale. The alarm volume level is insanely loud, and s always the same whether you phone volume setting is on 1 or 30.
It would be very nice if the volume of the alarm could be changed as well as currently it scares the s..t out of me every morning when it goes off.

Currently there is no way to adjust the volume of the alarm clock sound. Even with GDR2 installed.
All i can suggest is for you to choose an alarm sound that isn't so disturbing.
I do agree though that the ability to adjust the alarm volume should be there along with the ability to have separate volume controls for other aspects of the phone's sound system.
