Headphone Volume Reverts To Default

Hi,
After restarting my mac and inserting headphones the volume will always default to 50%. The speaker volume is not affected, it remembers the volume. If I turn off the mac with the headphones plugged in, and then turn it back on with them still plugged in it will remember the volume. Is this the correct behaviour or do I have a problem? It is certainly a problem for my ears. I have tried PRAM reset and deleting volume prefs.
Thanks

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
Run Utilities/Audio MIDI Setup and set the Volume level for the headphones there and it should stick.

  • ALSA - Master volume no longer having an effect on headphone volume

    I use ALSA and have both my 'front' (speakers) and 'headphone' audio volume set to max. Then I control the two by adjusting the master volume.
    Since my last system update this worked fine however now when I change the master volume it only affects the sound coming from my speakers and my headphones are constantly at max unless I specifically change the headphone volume in 'alsamixer'. This is inconvenient since I have the master volume controlled by hotkeys.
    I know I can work around this and hotkey my controls to change both the master and headphone volumes but this leaves room for things getting out of sync. Is there a way to revert back to the old method?

    Hi-
    "Essentially" a clone and a clone are not the same. There are alot of things that don't get copied when you simply drag folders. Pathways to aliases are one of them.
    Use SuperDuper! (the best IMHO) or Carbon Copy Cloner to get real bootable clones of your system and files.

  • How do I get Independent Headphone to be the default playback device in Beats Audio?

    In the Beats Audio control panel (I own a Pavilion dv7-4051nr) the only option listed for Independent Headphone is default communication device. The only time I have been able to enable Independent Headphone for sound playback was through Windows Media Player (Tools>Options>Devices>Speakers>Properties). I thought the audio was superior and played louder compared to using the Speakers and Headphones as playback device for headphone listening. However, the next time I logged on and attempted to play a CD with Independent Headphone there was no sound output despite the fact that the Independent Headphone volume control on the taskbar indicated it was working. When I switched to Speakers and Headphones, sound was delivered to the headphones as normal.

    Copy everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer, to your new one.

  • Headphones volume controller not working on new macbook pro

    Hello,
    I recently purchased a new macbook pro (15" late 2013) and just noticed that when plugging my headphones (beats solo HD), the volume controller in the headphones doesn't change the volume of the laptop. The headphone controller works fine on my iphone, and on my older macbook pro (2010, running on mavericks too). I checked the Sound settings under System Preferences, and under the Input tab, the new macbook doesn't recognize the headphone microphone either, which my old macbook pro still does. In terms of sound, the headphones work well, and under the Output tab, the Headphones appear, as normal. The sound can also be adjusted using the keyboard keys and the volume adjust on screen, but not with the headphones volume controller, which seems odd to me.
    Is there a way to fix this?
    Thanks for your time!
    Melissa

    Hi,
    I also noticed this... when I use my old earphones (the white Apple ones that come with the iphone) on my new laptop, everything works fine, including the microphone, volume control, skipping songs... etc. But my other headphones are not recognised at all, just as audio output and nothing else.
    My old macbook, however, still fully recognizes both my old earphones and my "troublesome" Beats headphones, even after the latest system update, as does my iphone
    So I still don't know what is happening.
    Just telling you this so that you make 100% sure your earphones are faulty before discarding them!

  • Android 2.2 Reverts to Default email settings when roaming - Droid Incredible

    When traveling with my Droid Incredible and want to send an email the phone often will lose my SMTP settings. At the same time it reverts to default settings for send / receive which means it will delete messages from POP server! Is there a roaming setting somewhere on this?

    In order to better troubleshoot, we need additional information. Can you please advise what E-mail provider you are using? Can you advise where and when this has happened most recently? If the issue persists, please contact us while you are in the area affected, as we would need to determine what network you are accessing at the time, along with additional information. You can feel free to call us from a secondary phone at 800/922-0204 or DM me with a secondary contact number (other than your wireless device) so that we can conduct additional troubleshooting.

  • Headphone volume too loud in Facetime calls - iPad Mini Retina 7.1.1

    Hi,
    I have an iPad Mini Retina Space grey 32GB Wifi version updated to the newest iOS 7.1.1.
    I've noticed that the headphone volume during Facetime calls is always extremely loud even on lowest volume setting and there's no way to lower the volume further down. It's independent of the person I call, and the same problem appears in both in Facetime video and Facetime audio calls.
    The bug only appears in the Facetime app and only after inserting the headphones and (not noticable when using the speaker). Setting a volume limit in Settings doesn't affect this loud volume during Facetime calls. I've tried 3 different headphones and I've also done a full reset of the iPad and setting up a completely new iCloud account.
    I also have an iPad Mini (1st gen) and an iPhone 4 and I don't experience this bug on those devices.
    Have anyone experienced the same bug? Any solution?

    pandora?      once I got used to it, it bacame second nature to simple reach over and toggle the hotspot off and on.  not great if you have the constant need, but if you have the constant need, it wouldnt be shutting down in the first place.  
    If this is a big issue for you, and there is no persistant wifi available, you might think about a standalone portable hotspot.  Pretty much every carrier in the US has one they would be happy to sell you, along with a data plan.
    (look on e bay for a used one )

  • Get volumes displayed by default under Home when opening File Explorer in Windows 10 Technical Preview

    Scenario:

    i think what he want is to change the Win + E shortcut to This PC.
    I understand that is the goal. I've tried the registry hack, it works, but I found it left fragments of other files from "Home' scatter around in there too. We all been using this new version of windows for a few weeks now, built up a list of stuff
    we have looked at, and that is why I said it's not the prettiest solution. It might have been okay if it was done just after a fresh install. In my alternative solution, you are bringing the This PC icon out to a more accessible place so you
    don't have to use the File Explorer icon to get at the volumes i.e. hard drive view.
    Personally, when I launch the File Explorer, I am expecting to be looking for something straight away on my hard drives and not be presented with a list of stuff that I have already looked at. That kind of thing should be left
    in a Recent Folder sort of thing we use to see in the older versions of windows.

  • I was working on numerous songs in Logic Pro 9, and for some reason 2 of the songs would not bounce. I get an error message: Error in parameter list / Not an existing volume, and no default volume / Bad positioning information / Bad drive number

    I was doing some minor editing in Logic Pro 9.1.8, like adding some plug-ins to audio and midi tracks on numerous songs. Most of the songs I had no problem bouncing. For some reason 2 of the songs I tried to bounce kept showing me this error message:
    "Error in parameter list / Not an existing volume, and no default volume / Bad positioning information / Bad drive number" result code=-50.
    The songs open and play fine, but won't let me bounce. I've worked with Logic for a few years and this has never happened. Any suggestions?

  • Adding a "revert to defaults" button

    jpdk 1,3
    I'd like to add a "revert to defaults" button
    on my customize page. When I use PortletRendererUtil.renderCustomizeFormHeader(pr, out, null, "action", null, null) Only the 'apply' and 'ok' buttons are rendered. Do I have to do it manually or is there a utility I can use to do this?
    thanks,
    -sancho

    You are right - the PDK article "Guidelines for Portlets in Edit Mode" describes such a button, which currently the JPDK doesn't support. Looking at some of the default portlets on a Portal home page, it would seem that the convention is now for this button to be called "Reset to Defaults". I have logged bug 1771249 against the JPDK and bug 1771238 against the articles to sort out these issues.

  • Indesign CS6 printer settings reverting to default

    Hi
    We have a problem which has started recently for some students when printing from Indesign CS6. Most of them have print presets which they created months ago for printing to the default printer using secure print, A3, heavyweight paper, bypass tray etc. They were working fine, but now, when they print a document using that preset it just prints on standard paper and normal (not secure) print.
    I checked their print presets and in the setup for the printer within the print preset the settings have changed to the default settings. If I delete the preset and create another one any changes I make in the setup / preferences for that printer revert back as soon as I click 'Ok'. A work around I have found is that  when I click 'setup' if I click on any other printer, then click back to the correct (default) printer, then click preferences and make the changes they stick and do not change back to the default settings.
    This issue happens without using print presets as well, If you choose file / print and then setup, and you do not click on any other printer and then back again to the correct printer before clicking 'preferences' any changes you make will revert to default as soon as you click 'Ok'
    It only seems to be affecting Indesign.
    The printer is a Xerox Docucenter C6680, using the PCL 6 driver on a print server. We are also running Papercut.
    Does anyone have any ideas what could be causing this? I have tried trashing the Indesign prefs but this does not seem to help
    Cheers
    Murray

    THere appears to be a Postscript diver for this printer. Have you tried that?
