Can't turn volume down

The volume on my IPOD classic doesn't turn down far enough. I think this is a new problem. Does anyone have a solution other than buying a separate volume attenuator?

Using the original ipod earbuds yields the same result. There is a floor on the volumn that prevents turning the volumn down beyond a certain point. As to your point on other earphones, it's really irrelevant. If I turn the volume all the way down, the output to the earphones should go all the way to 0, so if my earphones had a built in amplifier (which they don't), it would be amplifying a 0 signal.
For the EU law, the volume should start at 0, and rise somewhat linearly to a maximum level, and plateau there. In this case, as we turn the volume down, there is a point at which the output of the ipod does not get any softer.
So, back to the original question(s) - is there any way to actually turn the volume down to an arbitrary level?

I can't turn volume down on Apps

I Have turned my volume right down but it is still playing music on the apps. I have tryed but nothing works.
Please Help

Does this volume adjustment problem also exist when you listen to the shuffle elsewhere than the gym? IF SO, take the shuffle to an Apple Store to be analysed and, possibly, replaced.
IF the problem doesn't show up under normal conditions (eg out side of gym), then you might have a moisture problem...

Iphone Turning Volume Down by Itself

So here is my issue. The iPhone will turn it's volume all the way down, by itself, leaving me unable to hear any alerts, phone calls, or alarm clocks. Whenever I use the side volume to turn it up, it will just automatically turn it all the way down. The strange part is that when I use the iPod it doesn't turn the volume down on that. Hence it is basically just turning down general volume (ringtones etc). I am thinking it might actually be a hardware issue. I will do a genius appointment but can anyone give me help/advice? Thanks!!

Hey, so yea i made some progress with the situation. So i discovered that the top left corner is near the module that controls volume. For example if you press down on it hard your volume will flutter. So if it goes crazy i just tap that a few times and it will usually be okay for a while. However, I figured out the main problem was that steam (condensation) was getting into my phone so now that I stopped having that happen it is much improved. I am debating getting a new iphone cuz it is also my alarm clock and in the middle of the night it will at times turn itself down so...but hey man thanks for responding I'm happy i'm not the only one having this problem. Keep me posted. Take care.

IPad 2 Dent, Unable to Turn Volume Down Physically

I just got this iPad 2 as a present from him. I recently just opened it, and noticed that there is a dent ON the bezel direct center of the volume rocker. I can change the volume up, but i am unable to turn it down without using the multitasking bar. Also, you can get a fingernail in between the bezel and the screen, so in other words, dirt is able to get INTO my iPad 2, literally inside the casing. Would Apple cover this as this was a brand new product purchased March 11th, and was given to me as a present on April 8th. It was still in the shrinkwrap, so i know my dad didn't do it. It seems like a manufacturing problem. Is there anyway i can get it fixed using my Apple care limited warranty? The store won't allow me to take it back as it has been over 15 days.

The problem is the time frame that you have waited from purchasing to opening the product. But I would present my case to Apple Care regarding the 1 year warranty. Either call Apple Care at 1-800-MY APPLE or make an appointment for the Genius Bar in the nearest Apple Store and explain exactly the situation and ask for a replacement under the warranty. Get names and positions of everyone with whom you speak. If you are unsuccessful on the phone with the first tier agent ask to be transferred to the supervisor. Be firm but polite in insisting that this iPad must be replaced under the warranty. If you have no success, as a final resort ask for your call to be escalated to Apple Customer Relations.

Turning volume down on IMAC

Hey guys i jt bought the new 2.66 ghz imac and i love it. Problem is i cant figure out how to turn the volume down. I hit the F11 and F12 keys and it just brings up like the weather and the time and calendar. I know it sounds dumb but i am new to mac and i cant figure out how to use the volume. any help would be appreciated.

Hi JD,
Besides accessing the audio controls from the System Preferences/Sound pane you can change the volume from the Status Menu Bar. (Top right in your screen) There's a small audio icon. Just click that and the slider will be available. If the audio icon is not available there go to System Preferences/Sound. At the bottom of that window select: Show Volume in Menu Bar.

Can't turn it down

I have an iTouch 8g not even a year old. I was having problems with the side control for the volume, now it will only turn it up. I can turn it down on the screen but not with the side control I have restarted it still won't work.

There must be a problem with the hardware, only way to fix it is by giving it to someone at a Genius bar, make an appointment, if its still under warranty, it shouldnt cost you a thing.

How to get my lock button to stop turning volume down then locking, and my side volume button to stop locking my iPod?

Recently sent my iPod touch 4 generation into a local place for a battery change, and now it's suddenly swapped the lock button and lower side volume button. The lock button now turns the volume down then locks, and the volume button turns down and locks too. Anybody know how to stop this? It's annoying! Thanks for your help:)

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem take it back to where you got it fixed. They messed up.

IPad volume button broken, can't turn volume up

My iPad fell on the floor (tiles) and it got lightly bashed in where the volume roller bar and volume lock button is on the side of the iPad. The volume icon is now constantly displayed on the screen and I can't turn it up (it is not on mute). Does anyone know how I can turn the volume up without the volume roller button? Thanks!

Hey Bailey,
You have a couple options:
1) Use the volume slider in the software (ie, music app, youtube app etc), however if the button is jammed broken in the up position that may not work
2) Apple will swap your iPad out with a refurbished starting at $249 and up
3) The final and most economical is to have it repaired. I have use the company below for an out of warranty iPhone repair and they did a great job. A quick search shows they can repair the volume for about $80.

IPhone 4S both volume buttons turn volume down.

IiPhone 4S 16gb locked to EE
problem is both volume buttons turn the volume down.
pressing either volume button once brings up the volume window but doesn't increase or decrease the volume
Holding either volume button will decrease the volume only way to turn it back up is to go into settings or use that access thing (so a circle comes up) not ideal.
i Have changed the volume flex cable still same symptoms
i have factory restored it many times still the same
i have upgraded iOS from ios7 to iOS 7.3 or whatever the latest one is still the same.
any other solutions? Or fix's?
Tthanks Nat

anyone?

Phone application turns volume down

Hi,
whenever I start a phone call with N900, the volume automatically goes down to lowest (or 2nd lowest). This happens even if before the call I had e.g. Mediaplayer running with highest volume. Not sure whether the same happens when I receive a call, but it's really annoying. How can I set this right? I want every phone call to be full volume.

hello,
@virajx3006: no it doesn't remember the volume setting, i've been beginnig calls by turning up the volume first thing hundreds of times, and i'm pretty sure i never turn it back down before hanging up, so.....
@ elie7: That's not the only BIG BUMMER though, because which way is "voulme up" on the volume rocker depends on screen orientation. When the screen rotates to portrait mode, it swaps the volume keys.
Yeah, i hold my phone in portrait mode when making calls, like everyone else, but sometimes it's slow to rotate or even gets stuck, so it's still in landscape when i hold it to my ear, which means volume rockers reversed... you get the picture: AAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGH!

Can not ajust volume down on airport express

Hi there!
I have a problem. My iPhone and iPad kan not turn down volume on my AirPort Express, connected to both, active speakers and/or headphones!
Please help me!?

You don't provide a lot of details on exactly where things aren't working. However it sounds like it could be a DNS issue. Take a look at 'Mac OS: Troubleshooting "A connection failure has occurred", "The specified server could not be found" or Similar Messages'.

Turning volume down on multiple clips

Quickie, I hope, I have over 100 clips on the timeline. I would like to turn down the volume on all of the clips at the same time. Is this possible and how?
Thanks!

Select the clips, Cmd-A, press Cmd-Opt-L to load the Levels dialog.

The iPad mute bell keeps popping up over and over. It is turning volume down as fast as I turn it up. I have reset and restored the iPad to the original settings. Nothing has worked! Any other ideas?

The iPad mute button continues to pop up over and over. If I turn the volume up, I can watch it decrease just as fast. The icon stays. I have reset the iPad twice, and have reset it back to manufacturer settings as well. The problem continues despite my efforts.....any other suggestions? It is completely upgraded to the newest iOS version. And I was not having trouble before this upgrade.

If I had it in a case or had my finger on the switch these would solve the issue. Or, if the mute bell was only coming on when the volume button was pressed, how ever, it is coming on at random times and will go away for a few minutes if I hit the home button, but then reappears. This seems to be a problem experienced by a lot of iPad users so I have trouble thinking it is a bad switch.

IPad mini volume stays on volume 2 and can't do volume down and up! Help?

I don't know but I think it's jammed. I can only use the mute.

If your using iOS 7 as your profile suggests, you can also use Control Center to adjust volume. Swipe up from the bottom of the screen to display the volume slider.
Also, in the event this is a software glitch, you can try resetting your iPad by simultaneously pressing and holding the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons until you see the Apple Logo. This can take up to 15 seconds so be patient and don't release the buttons until the logo appears. Try again to see if the problem persists.
