Alert volume not dictated by system volume

I have recently updated from a 2nd Gen iPod to a 4th Gen. On my old iPod, the volume dictated the volume of push alerts this seems to not be the case on the new one. The push alerts volume stays the same volume whether the system volume is all the way up or even muted. Why is this the case, and how can I fix this?

This is a problem that both I and a co-worker are experiencing AND we have already verified that the "Change with Buttons" is set to on, have rebooted phones, changed tones, ...etc. 
But in my case my alerts from applications, mail, texts, ...etc. are much louder than the system wide volume set for the ring tone and in the case of my co-worker his alerts are much lower in volume than his ringtone.
I am wonder if this might be a small undocumented feature, sometimes known as a bug, might be tied into some other volume setting activity such as adjusting the phone volume during a call?

  • Volume from mediasource and system volume is lin

    Is there anyway to unlink the volume from mediasource from the system volume? I like to listen to music in the background while working and I find this current setup unacceptable. Obviously I could simply switch to a different player, wmedia, win-amp or itunes (yuck) no doubt. But I would rather keep the EAX support that you get in mediasource. Any ideas / solutions? Many thanks for your time - TinkMessage Edited by TinkTank on 02-06-2006 :49 PM

    You should have your iPod volume turned up 3/4 of the way with a FM transmitter. If it still isnt loud enough try transmitting over another station instead.
    *DO NOT turn the iPod volume all the way up. Aside from it distorting the music, its bad for the iPod.*
    And there is no way to avoid the hiss or background noise with a FM transmitter since you are basically broadcasting some thing overtop of something else.
    One solution, that is if you are willing to spend the money, is to get a new deck in your car that has a pre-out for a male-to-male standard headphone jack cord to go from your iPod to the deck. This would allow you to play your music through your speakers without the background noise.

  • BootCamp XP recognizes internal Mac Volume not the Firewire Mac Volume!

    BootCamp 3.1 / XP only recognizes the internal Mac Volume, but not the FireWire 800 external Mac drive!
    Do I need MacDrive software in order to see the external FireWire drive or is there better software than the MacDrive?

    BootCamp will only install Window's on an "Internal" drive with no more then 2 partitions.
    You would need a 3rd party "Drive Software" to install it on an EXternal drive. I don't know which ones work but they have been mentioned in these forums so maybe do a search for something like: "Window's external HD install?"
    Good Luck....

  • Can the ring volume be set without the system volume

    I hope this isn't too daft but is it possible to set the ring volume separately from the system volume? I need to run my iPhone very quietly but do not want to miss incoming calls!
    Cheers

    Your volume switches work differently depending on what you are doing. You may get a readout above the "speaker" symbol that appears on the screen telling you what volume is being adjusted.
    If you are not using anything, the volume switches adjust the ringer volume.
    If you are playing music or video, they adjust the music/video volume.
    If your headphones are plugged in, they adjust the headset volume.
    If you are actually on a call, they adjust the earpiece volume or speakerphone volume, whichever you are using (without a readout).
    If you are on a phone call using bluetooth, they adjust the bluetooth volume.

  • Chromium takes over system volume control

    Hi forum,
    I'm using GNOME, ALSA (no PulseAudio or ESD), and Chromium on an i686 install.  On my laptop (an Asus F3Jm), Master is a toggle control, and PCM is the slider that controls the system volume.  The volume hotkeys on my laptop work correctly and control the PCM slider.  However, when I open a Flash applet or an HTML5 video in Chromium, the PCM volume jumps to 100% and cannot be controlled by the hotkeys (not even muted); instead, the applet's volume control is the only way I have to control the volume.  This is not an acceptable situation for me as some sites (for example Livestream) don't remember my volume setting and start off at 100% volume every time.
    Well, sometimes.  Once in a while it actually does work as expected (application volume controlled independent of system volume, and system volume can still be controlled via hotkeys), which is the part I find particularly confusing.  I haven't figured out what the situations are where it does and doesn't take over the volume control.
    (EDIT: It seems that it happens the first time, and only the first time, that I start Chromium after each system boot.  So one "workaround" could be to never shut down or reboot...)
    I don't believe the OSS emulation is being used, because I've unloaded and blacklisted the snd_*_oss modules and don't have alsa-oss installed.  It's possible that Chromium is using the hw device instead of the default, but I don't know how to check for this or fix it.  I don't have Firefox installed, but I suppose I could try it if someone thinks a comparison might be useful.
    Package versions:
    alsa-lib 1.0.22-1
    chromium 4.0.249.78-3
    flashplugin 10.0.42.34-1
    <your requested package here>
    Thanks in advance for your suggestions.

    ALSA doesn't support per application volume control, which would explain the behavior. That behavior, however, is still incorrect, as normally applications respect the volume level and don't overwrite it without user intervention.
    A simple solution would be to switch to (at least for me) more advanced OSSv4 or use pulse audio (which I personally dislike).
    You should file a bug report for chromium (or check whether you got some settings wrong).

  • Any way to make overall system volume louder???

    Is there a plug-in or app that can boost the overall system volume. The overall volume seems to be strangely low in these powerbooks. I was on an airplane watching a DVD via headphones (the B&O high end ones that I use with my ipod) and I could barely hear the DVD over the plane hum. I have both the system volume and the DVD Player volume up. I also have problems with certain QT Movies and WMV movies that the volume is low with and just have no way beyond the the players volume control and the system volume to make it louder.

    Unfortunately not. One thing you can do to improve the volume, not to mention bass response, is to go wirth in-ear style headphones. They not only do they improve overall volume and audio quality they do reduce external noise.

  • How to restore entire external volume that is NOT a system volume?

    Howdy,
    I just had my music HD die. Disk Warrior even tells be that it is trashed. Thankfully it is backed up on Time Machine, but I am not clear on how to restore a totally new volume that is NOT a system volume. I see plenty of advice on the forums about system volumes.
    I will most likely have to get another HD, but I can't, via Time Machine go into that new one and hit the restore button can I? So how do I restore an ENTIRE backed up volume in Time Machine to a new volume?
    Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

    iPhotoStuff 2,
    Creating a same-named volume is the key. Time Machine sees "resident" volumes according to their name (it identifies the actual backup volume a bit differently).
    This volume need not be an entire drive; it could be a discreet partition on said drive. Just make sure that it is large enough to accommodate all of your iTunes data, and that it has the same name as the old volume that previously contained that data.
    Mount the new same-named volume, then connect the Time Machine backup drive (if it is not already). Using the Finder, navigate to the "root" of the new same-named volume, then click the Time Machine icon in the Dock. Navigate back to the most recent backup (if that is the one you wish to restore), then press Command-A to "select all." Finally, click "Restore," and Time Machine will handle the rest.
    Drag & drop in the Finder will work just as well, if you are restoring to a folder instead of a volume. You merely navigate in the Finder into a Time Machine backup folder named with the appropriate date and time, then simply drag the files/folders you want to a new location. While this action, by itself, will not "restore" a file that might exist in a backup made 3 months ago, but not contained in the newest backups, neither would a single "Restore" from within Time Machine itself. In both cases, it will be up to you to locate and retrieve those items.

  • System Volume not effecting iTunes????

    When i raise my system volume either with the slider or the keyboard controls it does not change the volume of iTunes. I only hear the system "beep" get louder and softer from inside the G5. It has always worked for me until a few days ago..
    thoughts?

    I'm not sure what you are asking here - why would you want iTunes to be the master volume control for your computer? You can modify your system volume any time you like using the keys that increase or decrease volume.
    Or is it that you are asking how different apps can each have their own independent volume, e.g. iTunes, Safari, Real Player, etc? For this there is a no-longer-supported app Detour (for PPC machines only) that is still available as a free download : http://rogueamoeba.com/detour/
    Otherwise you need to expand your question a bit to explain exactly what it is you want / need.

  • Alert on sever 10.10 -The volume "Setup" is not responding

    Added a Apple TV a few days ago, and while setting it up in the front room, my wife was on her mac book pro ...
    She said I was controlling her Mac book while entering information into the Apple TV
    The mac book had a dialogue which asked if I want to access the TV click yes and when back to setting up the Apple TV
    Now I'm seeing the devices under GO>Network> to devices on the local network
    What I seeing is the wife's mac book listed six times mac book2, mac book3, etc to (6)
    Just took a look at the 10.10 server which I use only for application and file sharing, and found this alert, with no instructions to resolve
    "The volume "Setup" is not responding"
    Summary
    The volume "Setup" is no longer accessible. Loss of this volume may affect services or applications on the server.
    All so I now have 89 clients, instead of 3
    Haven't a clue on how to correct ... I don't have the server software disk to reload the server software
    And have never had a problem like this before

    Disregard the software question ... found it and will see if a re-install restores

  • Not Enough Free Disk Space on System Volume

    Hello. I am using iDVD 5 on Mac OS X 10.4.11. The following error keeps coming up when I click the burn button: "Multiplexer preparation error: Not enough free disk space on system volume (need at least 1 GB)." I am confused because I have the project saved to MyBook and it has about 80 GBs of free space. According to the status pane my movie is 3.9 of 4.0 GBs. I've been struggling with this whole project for about 2 days now. Please help!! What should I do?

    Welcome to the forums.
    I assume your reference to "My Book" is an external hard drive. Firewire external drives work well to capture video and create iMovies, but the error message refers to the lack of space on your internal hard drive. You'll see a range of recommendations in this forum, but you need at least 5 gigs of space on your internal hard drive (the boot drive) for iDVD to create a DVD (the recommendations range up to 20 gigs of available space on the internal drive).
    This space is used by iDVD as working space and to store the compressed version of your video. There isn't a way to designate your external drive as a scratch drive.

  • LVM Volumes not available after update

    Hi All!
    I haven't updated my system for about two months and today I updated it. Now I have the problem that I cannot boot properly. I have my root partition in an LVM volume and on boot I get the message
    ERROR: device 'UUID=xxx' not found. Skipping fs
    ERROR: Unable to find root device 'UUID=xxx'
    After that I land in the recovery shell. After some research I found, that "lvm lvdisplay" showed that my volumes where not available and I had to reenable them with "lvm vgchange -a y".
    Issuing any lvm command also produced the following warning:
    WARNING: lvmetad is running but disabled. Restart lvmetad before enabling it!
    Anyway, after issuing the commands and exiting the recovery shell, the system booted again. However, I would prefer being able to boot without manual actions.
    Thanks in advance!

    # (A log is always allocated for every device and they are placed
    # on the same device as the image - no separate devices are
    # required.) This mirror implementation does not require I/O
    # to be blocked in the kernel in the event of a failure.
    # This mirror implementation is not cluster-aware and cannot be

  • The File Replication Service has detected that the replica set "DOMAIN SYSTEM VOLUME (SYSVOL SHARE)" is in JRNL_WRAP_ERROR.

    Hi!
    I recently took over management of a Windows 2003 domain that had only one domain controller.  I was building a second DC for redundancy and discovered that the SYSVOL share on the original DC is in "JRNL_WRAP_ERROR" after the SYSVOL and NETLOGON
    share would not create on the new DC.  This error goes back as far as the log goes back so I don't know how long it has been in this state. 
    The message in the event log states to enable "Enable Journal Wrap Automatic Restore" but I found a KB article that says to use the BurFlags key instead. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290762
    Should I run an authoritative restore since I don't have another domain controller with a good SYSVOL?
    The File Replication Service has detected that the replica set "DOMAIN SYSTEM VOLUME (SYSVOL SHARE)" is in JRNL_WRAP_ERROR.
     Replica set name is    : "DOMAIN SYSTEM VOLUME (SYSVOL SHARE)"
     Replica root path is   : "c:\windows\sysvol\domain"
     Replica root volume is : "\\.\C:"
     A Replica set hits JRNL_WRAP_ERROR when the record that it is trying to read from the NTFS USN journal is not found.  This can occur because of one of the following reasons.
     [1] Volume "\\.\C:" has been formatted.
     [2] The NTFS USN journal on volume "\\.\C:" has been deleted.
     [3] The NTFS USN journal on volume "\\.\C:" has been truncated. Chkdsk can truncate the journal if it finds corrupt entries at the end of the journal.
     [4] File Replication Service was not running on this computer for a long time.
     [5] File Replication Service could not keep up with the rate of Disk IO activity on "\\.\C:".
     Setting the "Enable Journal Wrap Automatic Restore" registry parameter to 1 will cause the following recovery steps to be taken to automatically recover from this error state.
     [1] At the first poll, which will occur in 5 minutes, this computer will be deleted from the replica set. If you do not want to wait 5 minutes, then run "net stop ntfrs" followed by "net start ntfrs" to restart the File Replication
    Service.
     [2] At the poll following the deletion this computer will be re-added to the replica set. The re-addition will trigger a full tree sync for the replica set.
    WARNING: During the recovery process data in the replica tree may be unavailable. You should reset the registry parameter described above to 0 to prevent automatic recovery from making the data unexpectedly unavailable if this error condition occurs again.
    To change this registry parameter, run regedit.
    Click on Start, Run and type regedit.
    Expand HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE.
    Click down the key path:
       "System\CurrentControlSet\Services\NtFrs\Parameters"
    Double click on the value name
       "Enable Journal Wrap Automatic Restore"
    and update the value.
    If the value name is not present you may add it with the New->DWORD Value function under the Edit Menu item. Type the value name exactly as shown above.

    The automatic restore process AFAIK will initiate a D2 restore. And if
    there's no other DC, sysvol might be gone.
    I really would prefer to have control - this means I would do a D4.
    Absolutely I would :)

  • [Forum FAQ] Reduce the size of System Volume Information folder

    Symptom
    There is a folder called System Volume Information in the root of each drive. (Figure 1)
    Sometimes, you may find the size of System Volume Information folder is too large. However,
    it is not recommended to delete the files in it casually since
    the System Volume information folder is
    created by the Operating System and used by Windows for storing critical information related to the system configuration.
    Figure 1.
    Note:
    The System Volume Information folder
    is a hidden system folder on each drive by default, you can show the hidden files and folders before accessing it.
    Cause                                                  
    In general, the System Volume Information folder contains
    System Restore points, Distributed Link Tracking Service databases, Content Indexing Service databases, WinFS databases and information used by the Volume
    Snapshot Service.
    If you enable shadow copies on a volume, more and more VSS snapshots will be created in the "System Volume Information" folder. Then the size of this folder will become
    too large.
    Solution                                                                                           
    You can follow the steps below to free up the space of System Volume Information folder safely:        
    1. Delete the GUIDs files in System Volume Information folder using DiskShadow.exe.
    1) Open a command prompt with administrator privilege, then type “DiskShadow.exe” at the command prompt.
    2) Type “Delete shadows OLDEST <BackupStorageLocation>”
    at the command prompt.
    3) Type “Exit” to exit DiskShadow.exe.
    Note: Theoldestshadow
    copy in the folder will be deleted each time
    you run the commands. Before you run those commands, please
    make sure the oldest shadow copy is not useful to you. 
    2. Changing the amount of disk space available to VSS
    1) Right-click on the drive you want to configure, and click “Properties”.
    2) Click “Shadow Copies” and then click “Settings”. (Figure 2)
    Figure 2.
    3) Choose “Use limit" and type the maximum size you want to set for the shadow copies, then click “Ok”.
    (Figure 3)
    Figure 3.
    Note: The extra shadow copies would be deleted in System Volume Information folder once you
    configure the Maximum size to a lower value than before.It
    will delete the older shadow copies firstly. Before you configure this setting, please make sure that you have enough space
    to create shadow copies.

    Hi,
    You could choose the shadow copies tap then choose Settings and then “use Limit" put in 1024MB, OK and OK, the drive would have plenty of free space.
