External bluetooth speaker volume to low

Hello,
I have an external bluetooth speaker from jawbone called jambox. From the start on I had the normal speaker volume like I also stil have it if I connected the bluetooth speaker with my iPod touch. But some day ago, the volume from my whole Mac (not just from iTunes) dropped through my Jawbone. It is not just about 40% of that, what I know of, that the Jawbone Jambox is able to bring.
This problem exists through all audio / video programs on my Macbook Pro. So like in iTunes, also in VLC or MplayerX. Everywhere. The software sound of MacOS Lion is on maximum. Also the sound control of the jambox itself is reached. It seems like there is a protection against to high volume anywhere turned on which just do not allow me to turn up the volume beyond a specifc point of db.
But, I can only repeat: The speaker is in a good shape. I am able to play music much more louder with my iPod paired. But just not with my macbook. I am looking for a "hidden" option to disable the maximum volume limitation of my Mac to the speaker.
Would be happy if anyone know a solution for that issue...

Same issue
Works fine on my HTC thunderbolt, Even works fine on my brothers Mac (same year and OS build).
My audio used to work fine through my bluetooth adapters but now the audio is way lower than it should be. This is a recent problem, it worked fine before. I believe an update may have cuased this, then again my brothers mac is working just fine even after the update. I even tried switching the bluetooth adapter and it still has the problem so I know its my Mac.
Please fix this issue...
Me and my brother Both have 2011 Macbook Pros, running 10.7.4 and the adapters are Blackberry adapters used to receive the audio from my mac and play through my home entertainment system via aux jack from the bluetooth adapter.

Hello sir.
My product is pavilion entertainment notebook.
And now after you replied my first complain I have put the finger print issue behind I have bug still with my sound.
I installed the sound driver as its too low and downloaded IDT SOUND DRIVER found in de driver download section.
But dis dis not solve the problem, it only got the volume just one inche louder and I tried RELTEK sound DRIVER and again this one did not change any tin.
U made mention of MSUAA what's dis about? And can it increase my speaker sound?
Pls?
Microsoft UAA Bus Driver for the audio chip integrated into your systemboard can be found at the microsoft update website. It is required as part of the operatng system. No, it won't increase the sound level your notebook is capable of. If you desire more volume then I suggest that you purchase an amplified external sound system (Creative is a decent brand) to plug into the audio out jack on your notebook.
Best regards,

Since I have updated to 10.7.4 my Bose Sounlink Bluetooth speaker sound very low

Since I have updated to 10.7.4 my Bose Sounlink Bluetooth speakes sounds very low.. OK with iPhone and iPad

This happened to me exactly! What I did was I went into Audio MIDI and clicked on Bose Soundlink tab. You'll see 3 bars; master, 1 & 2. Max out all the bars and that should fix the problem. Hope that works for you.

IMac- External Bose speaker volume is suddenly low

I can't figure out what happened between yesterday and today but suddenly my speaker volume is really low. I've read the forums and tried some different things but I can't seem to get the volume that I normally have... disturbing. Any thoughts?

Not a hardware/sofward issue, user error. Someone used the volume slider bar on the Spotify app. Didn't even know that existed but issue resolved.

HP Pavilion DV6 Notebook Speaker Volume Too Low

I have all speaker/audio settings everywhere set at maximum, but the speaker volume I get when I play any kind of audio or video feed from anywhere is way too low. (If I plug external speakers into the headphone jack, the volume is much better.) I've seen all of the posts where the solution was to do something on the "Enhancements" tab in Playback Devices, Properties, but I don't have that tab on my system. When I go into the Configure option and do the audio test, the volume there is great! I've also checked for updates on my audio drivers and the results have come back saying I have the best version already.
I've been putting up with this for a long time, but I'm really tired of having to plug external speakers in when I want to watch a video or listen to streaming music. I'd appreciate any suggestions (other than the one involving the "Enhancements" tab that I don't have) that might help fix this problem!

Hello @Lagil ,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I understand the audio appears to be way too low. I will do my best to help! First, please provide the following information and try the following steps:
1. The computer's model number. If you require assistance locating this information, please reference this website: Guide to finding your notebook product number
2. The computer's operating system. If you require assistance locating this information, please reference this website to determine your Windows operating system.
3. Does this occur on certain programs, or all programs?
4. Have you installed any new software or drivers on this computer, before the issue appeared?
5. What steps have been attempted from the following thread, and what were the results: Troubleshooting Guide: Audio does not Work after a Certain Period of Time
Thanks!

IPhone 3G speaker volume extremely LOW

Hi my GF's iPhone 3G OS2.2, the volume is sooo low she has to put the phone to speaker to hear anyone, this is not practical and very inconvenient.
Should she take the phone back to the store?
-Ryan

I have had similar problems with Speaker volume since installing I-dicto (voice recorder) and Lonely planet Spanish translator. Both should play through the external speakers at reasonable volume and neither would. I corrected the problem by adjusting the VOLUME LIMIT under settings/i pod. IT was maxed so I turned it down and then back up. I also changed the EQ to small speakers. Honestly I'm not sure which one fixed the problem but both programs have decent volume now. I later changed the EQ to some other settings just to check and they all seemed to work fine. It's as if something was stuck and messing with these settings dislodged it. Overall I find the i phone speaker volume disappointing but what can you do?

Speaker volume too low on 3GS - any way to increase it?

The speaker volume is too low on my IPhone 3GS. Other than the volume control is there any other way to increase it?

With volume control do you mean the buttons on the side of the phone? or in settings? When playing something on speaker and i want it louder, I just click the up button on the side of the phone.

New MBP max speaker volume much lower than 2008 MBP

I have just bought a new (black keyboard) MBP. I still have an older 2008 MBP of nearly identical specification (which had started to become unreliable).
The speakers on the old MBP when turned up to maximum, are about 10dB louder than those on the new MBP. This makes the new MBP far too quiet.
I did migrate apps to the new one, but there are no hacks or anything like that.
Is there anything (apart from the System Prefs panel and the application volume control) that would be limiting the speaker volume on the new MBP? Or is it intrinsic to the new model? (I hope not). Happens across all audio apps, including the "bips" from the keyboard volume control keys.
DN

Yes. The old MBP is much louder. I have the "decibel" app on my iPhone which is surprisingly accurate, and playing the same track on iTunes on the two machines shows a clear difference in output volume (max). Between 8 and 10dB. It's clearly obvious just by ear, too.
The old MBP started behaving erratically (no drag and drop, bluetooth disappeared altogether) and since I'm away from home and the laptop is (in NASA-speak) "mission critical" I bought a new (very pretty) one while I could still transfer apps from the old to the new. Subsequently I was able to fix the problems on the old one (thanks to this list) however, my partner wants the old one (as a Windows-convert wannabe) so the older machine is going to be put to good use.

Windows xp professional speaker volume very low

hello. I have a macbook6,1 with mac osx (most up to date). I have bootcamp(3.2) running windows xp pro sp3 all updated. My macbook speaker volume is super low in any application and I have all volume options turned up. Help please!

You won't lose anything in a restore if you do a backup first. After the restore is done, you'll be prompted whether you want your backup restored to the phone and sync will restore your apps/playlists/etc.

Changing device type of external Bluetooth speaker

I have an Aura Blunote speaker. I am attempting to connect wirelessly. It will only connect as a 'headphones' type device.
Can it be changed to a 'speaker' type device as this will drastically improve the sound quality? Changing the device type does not come up as an option when i am pairing the device.

E51 - speaker volume too low.

Hi All, I have an E51 and the problem I have is it's so hard to hear anything.
I have to press the handset into my ear and place the hearing area directly over my ear .
Volume is already on max when I press volume up button on the right side of the phone,
or right on the navigation button during call.
and I've upgraded to 3xx, but it still is low!
Too many friend have the same problem.
Please Help......

I am sure the warranty on your phone is expired and you don't really care. I also know your intentions are genuine and you mean well.
However, discussions involving the disassembly of phones is expressly prohibited by Nokia because it may result in other users voiding their warranties.
Don't take this personally because I agree with your post but it may be removed by the moderators in the morning..

I have a G71-340 US Notebook. Speaker volume too low to hear turned up to full volume.

On my G71-340 US Notebook I have the volume turned up to max and yet the speakers are so low I can barley hear them. Is there a software update to fix this?

*************************TRY THIS BEFORE DRIVER RE-INSTALLATION ********************
(It's an easier first solution, and It increased my volume, whereas driver re-install did not)
From Delilah M. on Amazon.com and her review of the G71-340us, Thanks Delilah!
CLICK on the Windows START Button
In the search box TYPE "Manage Audio Devices"
in the results that appear, CLICK on "Manage Audio Devices"
in the window that appears CLICK on "Speakers and Headphones" - this will highlight the "Properties" button
CLICK on the "Properties" button
in the window that appears CLICK on the "Levels" tab at the top, make sure the "Speakers" and "PC Speakers" are at 100%
CLICK on the "Enhancements" tab at the top
CHECK the "Loudness Equalization" Box >>>>> THIS IS THE SETTING THAT WILL BOOST THE VOLUME <<<<<
CLICK on the "Apply" button
CLICK on the "OK" button, your settings will be applied and the box will close
in the remaining open window CLICK "OK" to close the box, and you should be ready to go.
Thanks again to Delilah M. for her solution.

Is anyone else's 5c bluetooth max volume significantly lower than their older model?

I just upgraded from a 4 to a 5c. In my car, I have a samsung HS3000 bluetooth adapter that I use to connect to my car. I now have to turn my car's volume all the way up at highway speeds. Before, the most I'd have to turn it up was about 60% of the max. Anybody else noticing this?

My daughter just told me she is also having problems with the max volume output via Bluetooth speakers with her 5C. This is the first post I've seen with a similar problem. At first she thought her speakers were broken but I was able to produce twice the volume on her speakers with my 4S. I hope Apple reads this and can provide a fix.

Speaker volume suddenly low, what can I do?

Hi,
So low that I can barely use Skype, or itunes. Start up chime is same volume as before.
Checked Skype and Sound Preferences, is there something else I can do?
Thanks

Thanks! I will have to try that. I am travelling right now and it will be awhile before I can do that, but playing with System Preferences doesn't solve it, they show max sound and internal speakers. Fortunately I still have AppleCare!

E72 speaker volume quite low

Hi, I just bought my E72 a day ago and tried to listen to one of the default videos. Had the volume level on max, even then the sound/music is not /barely audible. Moreover the Talking display also is not actually loud enough to be able to hear from a hands distance. Please advice.

Hi Imran92
I would suggest that you try and reset the phone after taking a backup of anything valuable you may have - either to the MicroSD card if you have one or to a PC using Ovi Suite. I would then take out the memory card to be on the safe side.
To reset you enter *#7370# and then the code 12345 (unless you have changed it to something else).
Resetting resolves many problems, but it does mean that you will probably have to reisnstall any apps you have and put all your icons back where you want them. It's not much fun...
If that doesn't work you may have a faulty phone.
Good luck
