Bluetooth Volume Control

I have a iPhone 3GS 32GB with IPFW 3.1.2 (7D11) but i noticed that there is no option for volume control for bluetooth devices. I have a Sony Ericsson HBH-IS800 and they work great but the music is always so loud. I tried to use the volume limiter and the volume adjuster in iTunes track properties but i was unsuccessful in changing the volume level. It is very annoying on some tracks. Volume control is only available while making calls. Is there a fix for this problem?

The current iPhone bluetooth implementation requires music volume control at the headset. You need a headset with a volume control.

Bluetooth volume not working after last firmware update

After the latest firmware update I'm not able to adjust the volume. Both when i use the volume rockers on the side, or try it via settings, the indicator shows changeing volume - but there are no difference. VERY ANOYING!
any solution planned for att this issue?
Edit; just notice that the bluetooth volume is working on headset but not on devices with only media playback. (Working with SBH20 but not with AV-receiver or bluetooth speaker)

I can confirm that my Z2 bluetooth volume control stops working when i use it with my logitech bluetooth speaker.
Bluetooth volume control does not work when I use Spotify, TuneIn Radio Pro, SoundCloud or Walkman. However the seemingly same bluetooth volume control works when I use Poweramp.
At first I tought that the problem was related to streaming music but since the Walkman bt sound volume does not work on local media files it is not the case.
The bluetooth volume control works with my Nexus 7 and Lumia 1020.
Does anyone have heard from Sony regarding this issue?

Lost ability to control bluetooth volume with iOS 4

I have an iPhone 3Gs and upgraded to iOS4 last night. Everything works well except that I can no longer control my BlueAnt V1 bluetooth volume via the headset or the iphone. I have re-booted the phone, re-paired the headset to no avail. The volume control works fine for speaker and phone directly, but stays on high with the bluetooth... Any other suggestions? Is it just a new software glitch?

Did you only try re-pairing your did you delete the old pairing first.
Try deleting the old pairing in both the phone and the BlueAnt, restart both devices and then try re-pairing the two together.
In the iPhone to delete the pairing;
Settings - General - Bluetooth - Select the blue arrow of the device - Forget this device
To restart the iphone, hold home/sleep buttons together until you see the swipe to turn off and do that. The turn the phone back on.
You'll have to look up your user manual on how to delete the pairing in the BlueAnt.
Hope this is a help

You can't downgrade the iOS.
Take it to an Apple Store for evaluation.

No volume controls on iPad 2 after Bluetooth unpairing

On an iPad 2 with ios 8.1.2, I can successfully pair and use a Bluetooth headset. Volume controls work on the headset and the iPad 2. No problems. But after unpairing, the volume controls on the iPad 2 are gone or greyed out (depending on the app). The mechanicals buttons do not change the volume level either. I have tried hard reset without success.
One more data point ... if I plug in a wired set of earbuds, the volume controls return. But if I remove the 3.5 mm jack, the volume controls disappear.
This condition started with pairing a set of Bluetooth earbuds. Any suggestions appreciated.
ON EDIT: This doesn't happen on my iPhone 5s with the same Bluetooth earbuds.

Same thing here. Started with iOS8, continues with 8.0.2. Only workaround I've seen is to reboot and/or power off/on.
Sometimes stays connected for hours. Other times No Service after a few minutes.
Since the upgrade to 8 never said it wasn't supported for iPad 2's my expectation is it should work. C'mon Apple.

Bluetooth blocks volume control

Hi everybody.
I am having fun with my iMac (late 2011 + 10.7.3) aspecially with software bugs.
One of them is following:
Volume controll keys on my wireless keyboard do not controll sound. Doesn,t matter which one I press I do see the icons on the display but there is no effect on volume level. The sound "speaker icon" on the system bar is inactive and when I press it I see that slider is frozen at the very bottom and can't be moved.
I found the problem is clearly linked to bluetooth. Solution is there although annoying.
Switch your iMac off.
Remove batteries from the wireless keyboard.
Switch your Mac on.
Sound is back, and after placing batteries back in your keyboard you can see also that sound keys are working again. Unfortunatelly you have to make this operation each time when you switching your iMac off.
By the way, Macs were supposed to be so free of bugs. Crap.
Can anybody help me if there is any permanent fix?

Hello:
Try resetting the PRAM and SMC.

Stereo bluetooth problems ( Volume control & Video out of Sync )

I just got a Sony HB-IS800 Stereo Blue-tooth Headphone for my iPhone 3GS.
There are a number of problems with 3.0 and stereo blue-tooth.
1) The biggest issue is no volume control on the iphone when you connect your blue-tooth headphones. the sound is set at a loud volume and there is no way to adjust it at all.
2) The second issue playing video on the iphone and the sound on the headphones are out of sync with the video's audio about a second or two. Sometimes I play a movie and don't see this issue or it is not that bad. All video Podcast are always out of sync.
I have test this on my iMac and I can adjust the volume and don't have audio sync problem at all.
I was wondering if in the 3.1 iphone firmware are these issues fixed in anyway?

Volume control buttons not working with new usb keyboard

Hi all,
I recently replaced the bluetooth keyboard that came with my iMac with the usb keyboard (the long aluminium one, with the number block). Typing is no problem, but the volume control keys dont seem to work with this keyboard as I was used to with the bluetooth keyboard: max vol, increase/decrease and vol. off dont operate with any of the keys (f, alt, str, cmd, shift). Only thing I can do is get a view of the running programs or make the current application vanish from the screen.
Tried to change the keyboard setting in preferences for the F1-12 keys - made no change.
help is very much appreciated.
Thanks

I was able to fix this bug by upgrading to OS X 10.6.8.
Very strange that a) it was a problem in the first place and b) that the upgrade did not happen automatically
Thanks very much to Haggibbor, who alerted me to that possibility. Since I read this in a thread I did not open myself, I unfortunately do not know how to let him have the 10 points I would like him to receive. (Hints for this newbie are very welcome.)
Problem of volume control keys is now solved.

Right-click on Magic Mouse and Volume Controls on Wireless keyboard suddenly stopped working

I am running Mavericks 10.9.2 on an Late 2012 iMac.
One morning the right click on my Magic Mouse and the volume controls on the wireless keyboard stopped working.
These mouse and keyboard themselves seem fine; they work okay ehn used on a MacBook.
Everything else about the mouse and keyboard is fine.
This seems to be a problem what has been around for a whole, with a wide variety of solutions.
I have read

https://discussions.apple.com/message/23474052#23474052
https://discussions.apple.com/message/19660884#19660884
and have tried
Clicking on and off the 'right click' checkbox in the Mouse System Preferences - No effect
Deleting /Library/Preferences/com.apple.Bluetooth.plist - No effect
Restarting in Safe Mode - When starting in safe mode, the computer crashes out and restarted
Resetting NVRAM / PRAM - Is it CTRL+CMD+P+R or CMD+OPT+P+R ? Neither work for me (I do try it using a wired keyboard, but never get the double chime)
Upgraded to 10.9.2 - no effect
Moved the /System/Library/Extensions/AppleHIDMouse.kext and AppleHIDKeyboard.kext and and back in (and re-authenticate) - No joy
Moved the /System/Library/Extensions/AppleHIDMouse.kext and AppleHIDKeyboard.kext from a working MacBook on same OS - Made the keyboard misbehave even more
Has anyone got any other cures for this?
Thanks in advance.

Here is what worked for me. My scrolling on the mighty mouse and a few buttons on my wireless keyboard weren't working properly. I reset the SMC, a link explaining the process is below. Hope it helps you too!

I just recently updated to the newest OS and now I have no volume control. On the volume control icon it is empty and in the preferences it states, "internal speakers" has no internal control. Bluetooth is off and I have no ear pods connected. I hit the volume up or down key and all I get is the speaker icon with a circle and hash thru it under the icon. Is there somethin

Hello PaulH.Reed,
After reviewing your post, I have located an article that can help with audio issues. It contains a number of troubleshooting steps and helpful advice for the issue you are experiencing:
If you hear no sound or distorted sound from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch speaker
Follow these steps and test the sound after each one.
Go to Settings > Sounds and drag the Ringer And Alerts slider to turn the volume up.
If you can hear sound from the speaker, then the speaker works. Continue with these steps to find the setting or switch that's affecting the sound. If you can't hear sound from the speaker, contact Apple Support.
Make sure the Ring/Silent switch is set to ring. If you can see orange, it's set to silent.
Restart your device.
Open an app that has music or sound effects. Adjust the volume with the volume buttons or the slider in Control Center.
Go to Settings > Bluetooth and turn off Bluetooth.
If there's still no sound, connect a headset. If you can hear sound through the headset, remove it and clear any dust or debris from the headset jack of your device.
If the device is in a case, make sure that the case doesn't block the speaker.
Use a brush to gently clear any debris from the speaker and Lightning connector (or 30-pin dock connector). The brush should be clean and dry and have soft bristles.
Update your device to the latest version of iOS.
If you followed these steps and still hear no sound or distorted sound, contact Apple Support.
Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,

Musicapp, speaker and volume control won't work since updated to iOS 7.1

Since I updated my iPhone 4 to iOS 7.1 my iPhone works faster than iOS 7. But some apps like musicapp, youtube have no volume control and the speakers won't work. When somebody call me the iPhone rings normally. I tried turn off bluetooth because I thought the iPhone will conect to my car. I pressed the lock and homebutton for reseting, I deletetet my whole iPhone and installed iOS7.1 again - nothing changed. Only when i plug in my earphones everything will work as normal.

Hi AmishCake!
Thanks for your tipp! i cleaned the headphone port and usb-port and reinserted the plug several times!
i think this isn't the problem!
here i prepared a picture how the screen looks like when i plug in my headphones!
https://www.dropbox.com/s/omi3hlp1zzyx43k/Foto%2026.03.14%2013%2017%2040.png
it seems to be a problem of the update to 7.1 because some guys posted the same problem on other sites.
sorry for my bad english and thank you for trying to solve my problem!

How can I increase the bluetooth volume?

I use a bluetooth device to send audio to my hearing aids. However, the iPad bluetooth signal is very low in the available audio dynamic range. Consequently, the volume level at my hearing aids is very low. I have adjusted the iPad volume control to maximum; but it's not enough.
Any suggestions? It is purely a software issue that Apple could adjust.

I can't say it is a software problem or not. Last week i purchased iPad2 from Stanford Shopping Center. Its really cool. No Bluetooth problems but the person who explains me the uses and fuctions of my iPad2 told me that you need iTunes software to use bluetooth perfectly. You can download iTunes directly from apple website but for download it will ask you your credit card number or iTune gift card $15.
Try Install iTunes and see if it helps you hope i should.
Thanks

Wireless keyboard volume control

Finally paired my wireless keyboard with the older Mac and cannot get the volume controls on the keyboard to work at all. Keeps taking me to widgets or closing current window when I hit the F11 or F12 buttons. I tried going to system preferences, disconnecting, powering down and repowering keyboard per a post I found (which worked for the person who asked the question initally) but it will not work for me. Can someone help me to get my volume controls to function properly?
Thank you.

Hello b:
Look in system preferences>keyboard. Is the use F1,F2… box unchecked?
Try a couple of things:
Trash a preference file (com.apple.bluetooth.plist) and restart.
Reset PRAM:

Reset the SMC (look in the knowledge-base articles. Your profile is not complete and I cannot point you at the specific article).

Clicking noise of volume control buttons

Hello all!
Several months ago i bought Iphone4 and after i discovered "clicking" noise of volume control buttons and the power button. It's a really disappointment... so what can i do with it? Is there any solution?

Quick questions:
1 - have you reset your PlayBook?
2 - do you have an HDMI or Bluetooth audio device connected - these prevent the audio working?
3 - if any of those haven't fixed it, can you still take a screenshot by pressing both volume buttons together?
1. If any post helps you please click the below the post(s) that helped you.
