Gnome3 volume level set to 0 after restart

I believe pulseaudio is involved, but I have no idea how to fix it.
There is an old post from this forum that suggests enabling alsa daemon will fix it, but there is no /etc/rc.d/alsa for me. But alsa is installed:
# pacman -Qs alsa
local/alsa-lib 1.0.25-1
An alternative implementation of Linux sound support
local/alsa-plugins 1.0.25-1
Extra alsa plugins
local/pulseaudio-alsa 2-1
ALSA Configuration for PulseAudio

Hi saiyed adil,
Thank you for contributing to the Apple Support Communities.
It appears that your iPhone 5s sometimes produces low sound, but a restart corrects it.
It can take some time to isolate and resolve intermittent issues like this one, and I'd recommend going through the steps in this guide the next time it occurs:
If you hear no sound or distorted sound from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch speaker - Apple Support
All the best,

Volume Level Will Not Save When Restarting or Shutting Down iMac

I have a 24" iMac with 10.4.9 and all available updates as of April 5. When I restart my iMac the volume level will not save so when I reboot into OS X it is at 50% which is inconvenient for me since I have my speakers at full so all I would have to do is use my Mac's volume to turn it up. I never had this problem with my G4 Mac Mini. I know I could just create an Automator action, but the system should save the volume automatically, shouldn't it?
Thanks!

I have had this problem since the day I got my machine in february last year. At every new boot it's not full (as i like it) but only up half way.
I don't know why it doesn't stick, but I've lived with it for over a year so I kinda forgot about it.
OS X ignoring the setting whether or not to dim the display after a few minutes is another of those minor peeves that have been around for over a year.

My mac volume level won't change after sleep

My "Line Out" (2.1 Speaker System) does not seem to accept volume changing commands either by the Apple Wireless Keyboard, or System Preferences > Sound. This happens all the time after I put the computer to sleep. Before when I switched to Internal Speakers then back it would "unlock" and let me adjust the volume, but that is no longer the case (I should point out that the volume controls are not disabled, it's just that changing the level does not do anything). I can however adjust and use Internal Speakers just fine. This forces me to restart my computer in order to adjust the volume again.

Resetting the SMC and PRAM did not solve my problem, however this did manage to solve my problem across reboots and sleep:
1. Command + Space / Open Spotlight.
2. Search for "Audio MIDI Setup".
3. Select your sound system.
4. Change the format to something else, then change it back.
At this point it should fix the volume level and allow you to change it. I have only done this once, and it has worked since I made this topic.
Let me know if it helps.

Color board, pucks set to -100% after restart

hi,
I'm working on a 12 minute program and experiencing problems with the color board, audiolevels and adjustments to transform/crop/distort.
Working on the project with FCPX is great, the program is wonderfull. But after closing FCPX 10.0.8 and restarting the program, the color pucks of some clips in the project have suddenly been set to -100% on color, saturation and exposure, audio on some clips are set to minus infinity and transform/crop/distort on some clips is messed up.
The same problem occured a month ago on another project, I reinstalled FCPX twice after trashing the prefs. I thougt maybe the project was corrupt and moved the 'infected' project to an invisible spot with EventManagerX . I thougt the problem was fixed but on this completely different project today the trouble started all over again.
Working with Canon 5dM2 material transcoded to Apple ProRess (HQ). MacPro OS X 10.8.3, 2x6-core intel xeon, 24 GB 1333MHz DDR3, Black Magic Decklink HD Extreme 3D+, ATI Radeon HD 5870 1024 MB
I would greatly appreciate it if anyone could share his/here ideas on this problem.
thanx!

Was the project started in a prior version of FCPX? If so, try starting a New Project in 10.0.8 and copy/pasting all of your clips into the new Project. Then hide the older Project and see if this still happens.

Menu music volume level set?

anyone know how or if you can change the volume of the menu page music? I dropped in a piece as a menu asset. It sound a little soft. There is no metering in this program either. I'd like to be able to raise or lower the volume much as you can do in Final Cut with keyframe overlays in the timeline.
thx
DVDSP 4
Final cut suite 5.1.4

Hi David
You'll have to do this outside DVDSP then replace the old asset. DVDSP is not an editor..

Sound level at 100% after restart

The output sound level on my Mac after restart is at 100%. It is extremely annoying because I use headphones a lot and a pair of amplified speakers (when not using my headphones). Just some minutes ago it almost destroyed my ears. I heat it!
Does anybody out there can please help me to solve this problem?
Thanks in advance.

Zap the coreaudio process in Activity monitor, like this:
1. Open Activity Monitor.app (Applications > Utilities > Activity Monitor.app)
2. Select ‘All Processes’ from the drop down menu next to the search bar (called ‘Filter:’) and type in ‘coreaudio’.
3. Select the process name and click the ‘Quit Process’ button at the top. Chose ‘Quit’ or ‘Force Quit’ from the resulting dialogue box.
The coreaudio process will automatically restart itself (if you look closely at the PID number in Activity Monitor you’ll notice it changes after you hit ‘Quit’) and your sound problems should be solved.
If that doesn't work, return soundprefs to default like this:
4. Open Terminal.app (Applications/Utilities/Terminal.app) and copy/paste this command into the Terminal window
rm /Library/Preferences/com.apple.soundpref.plist
then press ‘return’ on your keyboard.
5. Restart your mac and test.

Dock resets contents after restart

My dock contents reset after I restart.
My monitor settings also reset at restart.
other apps get settings set to defaults after restart.
any suggestions?

26-May-2012 01:59I bought an iMac last October, 21", 4GB standard manufactured settings ram etc. After a few weeks every time I quit an application and go back on it, it returns to its old settings. Whenever I remove a bookmark from the toolbar on Safari and restart it, it returns to the old settings, when ever I restart the computer the dock and background changes towards its original settings. This is starting to get really annoying, and I don't know what to do and I have installed all available updates. Is an issue like this covered in a warranty and do you guys have any ideas on what I should do?

When I set all the tracks in the latest Garageband to the same volume levels and save, when I open the file again they've changed back to a previous setting?

I'm trying to mix a recording in the latest 2014 version of Garageband, but when I set all the tracks in the latest Garageband to the same volume levels and save, when I open the file again they've changed back to a previous setting? Does anyone know why it changes even after saving the file?
Below is my iMac settings.

Do you have a back up?
If not you're into using file recovery software like File Salvage - you can download a free trial and it will scan the disk for you and tell you with might be recoverable. Actual recovery will require that you purchase the app. There may be many files with the same or similar names. Always recover the largest file size.
There are other such apps. Search on Macupdate or the App Store

Setting default volume level.

I have a 2nd Gen Nano which I am using in my car. I have an OEM adapter which connects to the iPod through the dock adapter and allows the car's stereo controls to operate the iPod. (The stereo thinks it's a really big CD changer.)
My problem is that the sound level from the iPod is significantly lower than that from either the radio or the actual CD changer, so when I have finished listening to the iPod I have to be careful and remember to crank the volume way down or else the radio blasts when I select a different source.
Looking at the iPod I have made sure that the volume limit is set to maximum, and I am confident that I don't have a EU crippled unit since the sound level through the earbuds is plenty loud even at half volume and keeps going up from there.
The thing is that when it first wakes up the volume level is always set to 50% on the slider. I cannot manually change the volume level when connected to the car because when it's connected to the adapter the iPod's controls don't work (besides it is mounted in a fairly inaccessible location), but I don't even know if doing so would help since it communicates with the stereo through the dock connector.
My question is: Does the iPod's volume control have any effect on the signal level out through the dock connector, and if so is there a way to permanently adjust the default volume level the unit uses when it starts up? What I'd like to do is set the default volume level on the iPod to, say, 75% or whatever will balance it with the other source input levels that the car stereo uses. I tried adjusting the volume manually and then sliding the lock switch to 'Lock' but it didn't work.
Thanks in advance.

This sounds like the problem that I'm experiencing and <a href-"http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=2694517#2694517">aske d about a couple of days ago. The sound level resets to 50% after shutdown.
I tried setting the levels in Audio MIDI Set Up as suggested above, but that hasn't changed anything.
In answer to B_web, I am running my external speakers through the headphone jack.
So, any other suggestions?

Setting default volume level for Java Desktop

Hello,
I am running Sol 10 11/06 for sparc. How do I permanently set the default volume level for the Java desktop? If I change the volume manually and "save settings" on logoff, the saved setting is not saved after a reboot, after which I have to set it again.
Thank you......

Annoying, isn't it?
Unfortunately the only thing you can do is lower your system volume before opening those pages. The volume could be controlled by the Web page author but most are clueless.

[GNOME3] Volume Balance Lost After Reboot

Hello!
I'm using GNOME3 on a fully updated Arch x64 installation. After every reboot, the volume balance has shifted to the right. I have to enter the sound settings, output, and then restore the balance slider to the center.
The problem has been with me for some weeks now but I rarely reboot so I haven't suffered from it that much. However, now I am required to dual boot with Windows, and thus, this problem gets really annoying...
Any tips for what I could try? I have of course searched the Internet (including this forum).

I don't run Gnome, so this might not work, but try this.
Once you have your volume/balance set the way you like, do (as root) from a terminal:
$ alsactl store
(If you have more than one sound card, you may need to specify that also, see the man page for alsactl.)
This will save your sound card settings to the file /etc/asound.state.
In your rc.conf, add 'alsa' to the DAEMONS line. This will run the script /etc/rc.d/alsa at start up which will run the command
/usr/sbin/alsactl restore
which loads the values from /etc/asound.state into the sound card, thus restoring your settings.
It is likely that Gnome may set the sound card some other way, and unfortunately, I can't help you in that case.

How can a consistent volume level be set for all the songs in an iTunes library?

The volume of the songs in my iTunes library varies significantly when played on my iPod. Is there any way of setting a consistent/equal volume for the songs in my library so that I don't have to change the volume level when listening to my iPod?

I have used the $30 iVolume utility to equalize my iTunes song's volume for several years and it works well. I just wish it worked for music videos. iVolume is available on the Mac App Store, or you can try before you buy at the developer's site: http://www.mani.de/en/ivolume/index.html

Which EQ setting + volume level is the most 'clear'?

Hi
Just got an iPod Classic this week (my first ever Apple Product other than iTunes). It's replacing a 30G player from another company from 2006 (ran out of room) that had really good sound. With a simple pair of JVC Marshmallow earbuds, the right mid-volume and the right EQ setting, I could hear all the musical instruments clearly and somewhat equally and the singer's voice was clear as well, as if we were in the same room.
I'd like to recreate this with my iPod Classic but I've noticed the EQ isn't customizable (unless I'm missing something) and that with some of the iPod's EQ settings I can hear instruments clearly but the vocals sound muffled, almost like they're dubbed from another source. But there's other settings (Vocal) where the singer comes in clear but the instruments are muffled in that dubbed way. I've tried Flat and Off but results with those vary.
My old player's EQ was set at a reverse of the iPod's Rock setting, lowest bars on the outside and highest in the middle. Is it possible to load an EQ setting like that from iTunes? If you can download a game, can you download an EQ setting?
AND is there a certain volume level where that 'same room' clarity shines through? Anything lower than 11 out of 20 on my old player and it would lose that clarity (anything higher than 13/20 was too loud). 12 was just right. If that makes any sense.
Or could it have something to do with how a song is ripped from a CD? Which is what my music collection started out as.
I'm hoping someone can help and shed some light on this for me. I got it engraved so I can't exactly return it. haha

Most audiophiles, switch off the iPod Classic EQ as it is crap, most probably designed by some team who like bubble-gum music. but if you must use, create a custom EQ presets
read this forum
http://www.head-fi.org/t/399487/ipod-custom-eq-yes-it-can-be-done
But try not to boost up greater than zero db, the new iPod audio chipset don't like it, your music will sound like something from some Oriental Opera, of course, unless you like the metallic tin highs.

Setting/Controlling volume levels

I'd like to know what you guys do for volume levels.
I have the system volume, iTunes volume, and my Bose volume knob.
Basically, rather than worry about three volumes, I set my system volume and my iTunes volume to max, then just controll the overall volume with my Bose volume pod. This seems to work great.
I don't want to spend my day worrying about 3 different volume levels:)
Bryan

That sounds like a good idea. No pun intended. I don't like to set my sound set up to max, because I think it does not give you the best sound. Whenever I use source sound without amp to max (like a walkman), I notice that receiver or a sound device has noise or static to it. I like to set the source to medium and play with receiver or speakers for adjusting volume.
