Can't adjust recording volume?!

Every program I've ever used (including the older versions of
Captivate) had the ability to adjust the microphone level. I'm
using Captivate 3 and cannot adjust this level. Any recording I
make has clipping because the input level is set too high. This is
using the exact same equipment I've successfully used in older
versions of Captivate.
Any fixes, or should I return this product and use the old
one?

Melvoidium,
I've received many direct communications recently, but don't
know if one of them was you, using a "real name", or if you are
still looking for a way to contact me privately. Assuming you are
still looking, a few notes are worthy of passing along.

You will get answers, and those answers can be shared with others
when the conversation takes place here.
2) That said, thank you for the vote of confidence in asking
how to reach me. If you really feel it is in your own and others
best interests to communicate one-on-one, you can contact me by
clicking my pseudonym, "CatBandit" in the left column on this or

Hope this helps.

    Hello, Miryam Maria. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities. 
    I see you are experiencing issues with sound on applications when playing video/audio content.  If this is the case, the first thing I would check is if the side switch is set to silent as this can cause applications to be mute.  Below I have included an article that covers adjusting the  settings for the side switch.  Also, make sure to close all applications in Multitasking and power cycle the device.  Test the sound issue after processing these steps.

    1. Remove the headphone.
        If you see red light in the headphone port, plug the headphone
        in and out of the port 5 or 6 times to flip the microswitch inside.
        Sound output may be stuck in the digital mode.
    2. Reset PRAM.  http://support.apple.com/kb/PH4405

  • Since my update, I can't adjust the volume from my keyboard...the volume keys have a locked symbol that shows when I press them.  I checked System preferences but can't find a way to get the lock off.  Thoughts?

    I can't adjust my volume from the keyboard volume controls... they seem to be locked.  I tried system preferences, but couldn't find how to "unlock" them.  Thoughts?

    Did you try unchecking this function?  It seems to work in reverse of what you would expect, or is that just my imagination?

  • Help! Can't adjust the volume of my ipad 2 - volume button not appearing

    Hi. My ipad has no sound - especially when playing music. The volume button is just broken (not the one on the side but on the music app itself) - I can't adjust the volume, the round thing to adjust it is just gone, and it's just gray and no sound at all. But when I ask Siri/adjust the ringer, there's still a sound. So I don't really get it.
    Even when I plug in the earphones, there's still no sound and I still can't adjust the volume
    The volume buttongs on the side doesn't do anything
    I tried reseting my ipad

  • 5310 - Adjustable Recording Volume

    Hello everyone, I recently bought a Nokia 5310 and I really like it so far. But there is this one thing that bothers me, and being a musician, I really need to be able to adjust the recording volume. It says everywhere on the net, and even in the manual that you can adjust the input volume for recording, but the amazing thing is that it doesn't tell you how! I have been looking everywhere in the phone 's configs for it, I've let my friends look, I've read the manual and there is absolutely nothing. Please help me out Thanks in advance, and sorry in advance if there already have been people asking the same (I just signed up a few minutes ago and I have to go make dinner now).

    There has to be someone else with a 5310 who has figured this out!

  • HT5882 Can't adjust the volume on my iPhone 5s when in doc

    I have my iPhone 5s in the doc and my headphones plugged into the back.  I can't seem to adjust the volume.  It is wayyyyyy too loud.  Can you help me?

    I had the same issue. I also couldn't hear any music or sound from apps and no sound when I typed a text message. But ringer worked which was odd. I sent in for repair and Apple sent me a replacement device.

  • Can't adjust the volume while using DJ controller

    I've got a DJ controller. I just hopped from Windows to MAC (Pro Retina 13). I basically use Traktor DJ whenever I mix. Normally when I'd quit the program for DJing, the controller kept working - so I could play music via youtube through my speakers.
    And just control the volume overall with the volume keys. Now that I'm on MAC, the DJ program works fine and I can control the master with a knob, but as soon as I quit the DJ program - It plays music through youtube and iTunes just fine, the only thing is it won't allow me to adjust the volume in any way.
    The controller is mapped to a program, I can't use a master knob to adjust the volume out of the program...
    Whenever I try to adjust the volume with the F11 and F12 keys it just shows an O with a slash through it.
    I really want to control my volume through my mixer, please help!!!

    Have you by chance installed an app called "Boom"?

  • I can't adjust the volume on my IPhone!  HELP!

    I can't hear any alerts and the volume doesn't adjust when I push the side buttons.  I do not have the sounds locked and I have the feature on to allow adjusting the volume with the buttons.  When I push the side buttons the ringer icon comes up but the volume wont adjust.

  • Can't adjust recording level with M-Audio Fast Track Pro

    I downloaded the appropriate driver for my M-Audio Fast Track Pro interface & everything looks fine... BUT I can't adjust the Recording level at all. I am not sure if this is an issue with the M-audio device, or garage band??? It is driving me crazy, since I just want to make some music and can't even hear what is being recorded. ???

    Thanks, .... Yes to all of the above. I am wracking my brain & will call M-Audio tomorrow. Everything looks perfect on the interface & on garage band - but, even though the Fast track Pro shows up in my sound preferences & I can select it as the input & output source, etc., when I go to its window, even hooked up, it says no "device is not connected." Then it details that there are "no input controls" under sound in system preferences. I have two working usb cords & it does the same on either. I think this is the problem & have no idea how to fix it. I just want to plug it all in and record & have lost So much time . Hmmmmm???

  • Can not adjust the volume up usine the selector on the head phone, on my i have the iPod shuffle 3rd generation

    I have an iPod Shuffle 3rd Generation (2G) and cannot adjust the volume up or down using the (+/-) selector on the headphones (original equipment).  It has worked in the past, so not sure if the reason is because I changed a setting on my ITunes Library web-page??  Thanks

    Just Google for: mic for ipod touch. You will find my hits.

  • I can't adjust the volume of my iPad 2.

    Whenever we're adjusting the volume, there will be a bar that comes up, together with the speaker symbol. Now, there's only the speaker symbol without the volume bar. The sound went away suddenly as I was playing some games on my iPad.

    1. If Side Switch is set to Mute, check to make sure it's not muted

    2. Check the Volume buttons

    3. Double-click the Home button; swipe the Task Bar to the right. Check the Mute and Volume settings.

  • Can you adjust the volume of the alert sound, iPhone5?

    iPhone5.
    Can the volume and length be adjusted for alert sounds?  For instance, I would like to set an alert or alarm that rings LOUDER than my phone normally rings.

    but you can't lengthen it unfortunately.
    Bear in mind, the screen is the largest consumer of power.

  • Cannot Adjust Recording Volume (XFI Elite P

    Hello, I'm having trouble with my XFI Elite Pro. Whenever I go to record something and I select the device I want to use the volume knob automatically goes down to the third line. If i turn to turn it up or down it automatically shots back down there instantly. The playback knobs all work fine its only the recording ones and its every device I have that does it. Has anyone ever had this problem? I tried updating to the newest driver/firmware but it didn't change anything. Thanks in advance!
