EXTREMELY annoying itunes volume

My itunes volume goes up and down for no obvious reason during playback. Help?

I doubt it's an iTunes bug or there'd be a lot more reports and yours is the first I've seen. It's more likely to be some issue with your set up. It sounds as if you have something in your login items that is launching iTunes and requesting access your firewall isn't expecting. I'd start by checking your login items and any iTunes plugins you may have installed.
Best of luck.

  • Erratic Itunes Volume

    The volume on my itunes music oscillates for no obvious reason.
    1. No equalizer or anything is currently activated
    2. It does this with or without sound check on
    3. It does this regardless of file type and exclusively does so on itunes
    It seems that during the loud parts of the song it dampens and with the soft parts it is amplified, making for a very awkward swell-shrink pattern that is extremely annoying and sounds like crap. Please help. I've searched the internet for someone with a similar problem and there has not been a satisfactory answer to my problem on the entire internet.

    Try your keyboard instead. Use the keys with the volume icons.
    If that doesn't work, try restarting your Mac then launch iTunes.
    If you installed any iTunes plug-ins, that may cause the audio issue.
    Check:  /Library/iTunes/iTunes Plug ins
    Click Software Update from your Apple menu to make sure your system software is up to date.

    Try:
    - Powering off and then back on your router.
    - Anything else here
    iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
    - Change the DNS to either Google's or Open DNS servers
    Public DNS — Google Developers
    OpenDNS IP Addresses
    - Try on another computer/network
    - Wait if it is an Apple problem

  • ITunes volume lowers when I received Facebook chat message

    This just happened for the first time tonight. Whenever I receive a message on Facebook chat, my iTunes volume drops very far. I can still hear it, but barely. And a while after the message is sent it comes back to full volume.
    Is there some way I can turn this off? It's terribly annoying.

    Hi there,
    I think I found the answer. If you go to Control Panel, then hardware and sound. Click on Sound, then go to the communications tab. If I'm correct, what should be selected is that Windows reduces all other sounds by 80% when it detects communication activity. What I'm guessing is that the facebook chat 'pop' you hear is taken by Windows to be incoming communication warranting a reduction in sound. Change this to 'Do Nothing', and you should be all good.

  • ITunes volume significantly lower

    Hello,
    I recently updated to iTunes 11.1.5 (5) on my Mac mini (latest), and the volume output to my external speakers is significantly lower than before.
    As background my library is on a Lacie external HD, all lossless.  My mini is connected to a USB DAC, which is connected to a Denon integrated amp,  and then hifi speakers.  Since updating to iTunes 11.1.5 (5) the volume is just really low (takes increasing the volume level on my amp much higher than before to replicate the same desired volume).  To test this I first stupidly took apart my whole setup, tested the speaker wires and speakers, and amp/DAC, until I realized they were fine, and should compare iTunes to other media players.  Anyway, I played a concert DVD / you tube / i tunes with the same songs, at the same volume level and it is night and day, like iTunes is outputting 50% compared to the others.  This was never the case until the update as I mentioned.  I also saw some similar (much older) threads on here, with no solution other than checking the iTunes/Mac volume level, and equalizer level, and that is not the problem.
    This is really annoying because I have this whole setup just for music basically, so if anyone has experienced this / has any ideas on a fix it would be really appreciated!!
    Thank you so much,
    Tom

    I figured it out.  I went to see if an iTunes video had the same issue, and saw that the volume on the movie was set in the middle, and after adjusting to full volume, then going back to the music the volume was back at a normal level.  The problem is you can't see the iTunes volume under the default setting in 11.5, until you click Window, Zoom.  I thought the iTunes volume was the same as the computer volume button at the center-right of the screen, which it is not.  Anyway, hope this helps someone.  Time to put my entertainment system back together...

  • Using apple remote to control iTunes volume

    This must have been covered before. I searched through 12 pages and couldn't find the answer. I simply want to be able to control the iTunes volume with my white apple remote. Presently it will only control system volume and I'm going out to a different device where system volume has no effect.
    This is for Snow Leopard. Appreciate the help.

    I too play iTunes to remote speakers (airplay express, apple TV, IOS devices running Speakers app.)  The volume buttons on my Macbook Air control the laptop speakers but won't control the iTunes application volume when playing Airplay.  Going to iTunes to click on a slider is frustrating when there are volume buttons on the laptop.
    Another App solution is Airfoil from http://www.rogueamoeba.com/airfoil/mac/
    There is a cost and I don't have a free Apple/Mac solution.  But with Airfoil, you can link the volume bottons to Airplay volume.  This is really a preference that iTunes should inherently provide.  But with Airfoil, I can push any audio app (Pandora, Spotify, browser audio, and even iTunes) to any number of speakers both Airplay and computer.  And Airfoil will link the volume buttons to the audio output on any of the speakers selected.  I no longer use the Airplay option from within iTunes but use Airfoil to push iTunes whereever I want and properly control volume.
    Hope this helps.  Sorry it is a third party pay app as the solution when Apple could just incorporate this simple request.

  • ITunes volume level vs. OS X volume level

    Hello,
    Is there any method to "lock" the iTunes volume level to OS X? Ie. i don't want two options to adjust volume level (inside iTunes and in OS X on my MacBook Pro). I just want one. The thing is that i want to be able to adjust the volume level using the Remote app on my iphone. But i always leave the volume bar on max inside iTunes, so i'm only able to decrease the volume and not increase it.
    Let me explain this with an example:
    iTunes is playing some song.
    iTunes volume is a 100%
    OS X volume is at 50%
    I'm not next to my computer and i wan't to increase the volume of the music.
    I pull out my iphone from my pocket, launch Remote and the volume bar is at 100% - hence i'm only able to decrease the volume.
    Until now i would turn down the volume in itunes to lets say 50% and the volume in OS X to 100%. That way i would be able to both de- and increase the volume from the Remote. But this means that all other sound on my MacBook is at 100% and that is sometimes too loud.
    So what i would like some patch or app that adjust the volume in itunes if i manually adjust the OS X volume, to match the same percentage. And vice versa; if i adjust the volume in itunes (inside itunes on my mac or through the Remote app) it should adjust the it should automatically adjust it to the corresponding percentage in OS X.
    Thanks.

    are you using Sound Check?

  • ITunes volume control script

    With the included scripts in Mainstage, I was surprised not to find one for controlling iTunes volume.
    This would allow me to mix the iTunes volume from the Axiom 61 sliders while in Mainstage fullscreen.
    Does anyone know of an AppleScript for this purpose?
    Thanks in advance

    Well, I hope someone can find a solution to my issue. (itunes sound volume using sliders)
    Thanks for your input guys.
    My knowledge of Applescript is very basic, however, I did find a script for changing the itunes sound volume using buttons.
    One button increases and the next button decreases the sound volume a little bit at a time.
    Here are the scripts. I modified one I found online. There may be some unnecessary lines.
    on action(parameter)
    tell application "iTunes"
    if the sound volume is less than 95 then
    set sound volume to (sound volume + 5)
    else
    set sound volume to 0
    end if
    end tell
    end action
    and to decrease use the one below.
    on action(parameter)
    tell application "iTunes"
    if the sound volume is greater than 5 then
    set sound volume to (sound volume - 5)
    else
    set sound volume to 0
    end if
    end tell
    end action
    A script for changing the itunes sound volume in Mainstage using a slider from my Axiom 61 is still what I'm after.
    Anybody??

  • Itunes volume adjust doesn't take in ipod

    i ripped an audio book on my imac because the optical drive on my powerbook stopped working. then i moved the audio book over to my powerbook and put it on my ipod. the volume was too soft so i adjusted it in itunes and resynched.
    there was really no change except that on my ipod, when i turn up the volume, the volume stops increasing when the volume slider is about halfway across the screen. the slider keeps moving, but the volume stops increasing.
    what can i do? any thoughts? help!!

    No, I'm in Australia. Itunes 'volume adjustment' USED to work...but it *doesn't* anymore...;/??
    I even updated the latest itunes...but still *nothing*

  • Having iTunes volume only affect Mac speakers, not those connected with Airport Express

    In iTunes Help, it says "To use only the volume controls on your remote speakers, see Adjust the sound quality." Great! At Adjust the sound quality, it says "You can customize the sound for...specific speakers." Also great! But...
    How do I do that? There doesn't seem to be any instructions on how to actually accomplish this thing iTunes Help is claiming I can do, namely to be able to change the main iTunes volume (through any of several methods) and have that not affect the speakers I have hooked up through my Airport Express.
    I'm well aware I can do this by switching to iTunes, clicking on the Zoom button if I've got iTunes minimized, clicking on the little "speaker" icon (though how that looks like a speaker I'm not sure), choosing "multiple speakers," and dragging the "Computer" slider. OR, if I can figure out how to make iTunes do what the help linked above claims I can, I can just use my Synergy hotkeys to change the volume with a tap on my keyboard.

    I'm also suffering from skipping/sped up music, only when streaming certain internet radio stations to my Express (for example, friskyRadio in the electronica section). Mine's setup not to distribute IP addresses, if that's relevant.
    Other than installing iTunes version 7 (now at 7.0.1) nothing has changed on my network, or on my computer.

  • How to use itunes volume control in mainstage

    Hi everyone!
    I want use itunes volume control in mainstage (by slider or something). Can someone help me?

    You would need to write an Applescript (there are some already under Parameter Mapping>Actions>Applescript). Check online at "dougscripts.com/itunes/itinfo/eqandvolume.php" for some scripts for changing iTunes volume. You will need to put the Applescript in the same folder the other Mainstage Applescripts are in (drive>Library>Application Support>Logic>Mainstage Scripts). I haven't tried this myself, but why not give it a go?

  • Why is my iTunes volume turned all the way down every time I launch the program?

    Everytime I launch iTunes I get a warning and my iTunes volume is volume is turned all the way down. How do I fix this?

    This worked for me:
    Close iTunes
    Open Finder and navigateto: Users>YourAccountName>Library>Preferences>com.apple.iTunes.plist
    Move that file to the desktop
    Launch iTunes (which will create a new prefs file)
    If the problem is now fixed, move that prefs file from the desktop to the Trash. There might be some personal settings in iTunes you will need to re-do.

  • XI : Simulating Extreme Concurrent Message Volume

    Hello All,
    Have you been stumbled with performance or time out problems in XI. Wondered of a way to generate the load before going live with the scenario??

    --Naveen

    Hi James,
    this is very easy to check in your environment:
    2 ways:
    a) the easiest one:
    go to RWB - performence monitoring on your dev or qa XI
    and choose your message
    from the you can see the average message size
    for one interface - this is exactly what you want
    b) the longer one:
    go to sxmb_moni on the dev or qa XI
    open a few messages (matmas, sales orders)
    and take a look at the content of the message,
    view - source - save a file... and you have the message size  - but this way you cannnot be sure if this is an average size... so the first method is much better
