Headset too loud and other applications no longer adjust the volume

So I buried out my Speed-Link Medusa 5.1 USB headset and tried it out with Linux. Worked reasonably well, I plugged it in, set the headset as primary sound output with asoundconf as written in the wiki and rebooted.
Now I have two problems:
a) I had to lower the volume to about 5 percent or they would blow my brains out.
b) Sonata, Mplayer and similar software can no longer adjust my volume. Sonata simply shows the muted Icon eventhough it's not muted and Mplayer always shows full volume and I can't do anything.
Hope you can help me.

mine is also pretty loud with linux, either i have to lower the master volume in alsamixer to a level where my sound system is not loud enough or i have to stay between 0.5 to 2 with the medusa nx (it is the new model). both are connected to the same plug in my xonar d2 soundcard.
anyway it is a great headset for gaming and even music is not bad with it (and remember...i am a hifi-freak )

  • Since I upgraded to the new iOS 7 operating system for my iphone, I can no longer adjust the volume on my alarm. No matter what setting the volume of my phone is my alarm is always full blast. Since I hate being startled awake, what can I do?

    Go to your home screen, and then press the volume down or up button. It should say Ringer instead of volume. If it doesn't do that, try going into the clock app and try it there.

  • Messenger and other applications do not recognized the numbers that are on my contacts. Instead of showing names, they only show numbers. Any advice?

    When someone in my contact list calls or texts me, the phone does not recognize and shows the name, but only the number as if the person that is calling me is not on my contacts. Any advice?

    Found the fix, as this happened to me this morning...

    If you're on Verizon, you can
    ignore all the BS at the beginning, and under Additional Information, follow these steps:
    If you are using using Verizon as your provider and iPhone displays the ten-digit number instead of the name of the other party, please follow these steps:
    Dial *228 from your iPhone.
    When prompted, select option 1.
    When complete, you will hear a confirmation message.
    Force the Contacts, Messages, and Phone applications to close using the following steps:
    Ensure that you have recently opened the Contacts, Messages, and Phone applications.
    From the Home screen, double-click the Home button to display the recently used apps.
    Tap and hold the icon for the Contacts application until a red minus appears.
    Tap the red minus to close the app.
    Repeat the previous step for the Messages and Phone applications.
    Tap the Home screen to return.
    Turn iPhone off and then back on.
    Hope this helps!

  • My ipad2's volume is really loud and has some static even when the volume is down below half. Is my speaker blown and can it be repaired?

    The volume is so loud and full of static even at low volume settings. I think the speaker might be blown. I had no volume for a couple of days the I powered it of let it set over night and turned it on the next day. Now the volume is super loud and I am afraid the speaker is blown or going to any time now. Is there an easy fix to this or do I have to send it in for repairs? I have only had this ipad since Christmas.

    To solve some sound problems, just follow these simple steps
    1. Go to Settings
    2. Tap on General
    3. Tap on Reset
    4. Tap on Reset All Settings

  • Alsa + Plantronics Usb Headset too loud

    hi flks, is there any value to change the minimum value for output; the sound is not damaging my ears;overall i guess its all working correct; but i think it should be possible to set the volume even quieter than 0 in alsamixer; i tried that in other operating systems and i think also in archlinux in the past; i saw in asound.conf the dbcolume is not a way to change things; any other hint? sorry for my englisch

  • Action is too loud and talk is too low! Any suggestions?

    I have noticed when I rent movies from iTunes on my Apple TV I find myself constantly adjusting the volume. It doesn't matter if I am using my tv speakers or my surround sound speakers. The action scenes are way too loud and I have to strain to hear people talking. Any suggestions?

    Or use Compressor if you have it.

  • Office 2004 and other applications suddenly stopped working

    All of a sudden I've been getting the following with any Office application, and other applications have been exhibiting strang behavior as well. Specifically the error with any Office is:

    I can't even uninstall Office because the uninstall program generates the same error.
    Also, iChat no longer works (opens for a split second then closes without an error msg) and iMovie give the following bizarro error message:

  • Sound too loud and distorted from capture

    It seems that for some reason when I capture video from my Sony PD170 DV camera, that the sound captured is way too loud on the timeline, even though it reads acceptable on the waveforms and the green lights that go up and down.
    My last capture an hour ago, from the timeline, the sound was crakely listening through the computer speaker and headphones. I then listened through headphones directly from the original tape in the camera and it sounded ok.
    Any suggestions? A problem with the compouter or a setting I need to adjust in FCP for capturing video?
    At System Preferences/Sound the input volume is at half set from the internal mic.

    I tried a capture from a friends camera and FCP system. Same problem on time line. Random pencil thin blank spots on the audio wave form. So it must be on the tape. Maybe bad tape, electronic interference in recording room or some camera problem recording. Used two separate wireless lavs. Drop-out in exactly same place on both channels could rule out room interference because of different frequency lavs.
    I did short analogue test copy from PD170 to Trv-900 and it eliminated the drop-out. So I am now making full copy to substitute in time line.
    I also think that the sound coming in with the capture is too loud and that's the possible problem, but can't figure how to change the level on a capture. Even though the waveform and meter after capture look ok, it still seems pretty loud. The audio control in the Log And Capture/Clip Settings is greyed out at 1.

  • The volume on my iPod was fine, but now it's too loud and I don't know how to turn it down.

    The volume on my iPod was just fine, but somehow it got turned up too loud, and I don't know how to turn it down.

    Hi Virginia1945,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    Depending on which iPod nano model you have, you can adjust the volume with the button on the side, the top, or using the click wheel. You may also be able to set a maximum volume, so it doesn't get turned up too loud in the future.
    You can find the user guides for your iPod nano at this link:

    Best Regards,

  • My apple ID is not working with Facetime or Messages, but works on the apple site and other applications. Why is this happening?

    My Messages and Facetime applications say my apple ID or password is incorrect when it works for other applications including icloud, and works on the apple id website. I have reinstalled Mountain Lion upon request of an apple advisor but there is still no luck and other apple IDs work on the applications. Why is this happening?

    Yes, you will need to call Apple at this point for further assistance.

  • How can I allow the application to line through a field that has been locked after being digitally signed?  We have multiple sections on a form with some fields being proposed information and other in another section having the approved information. once

    How can I allow the application to line through a field that has been locked after being digitally signed?
    We have multiple sections on a form with some fields being proposed information and other in another section having the approved information. once the approved information is entered we line through the proposed field so the data entry clerk won't pick up the wrong information.  However we are receiving an error when attempting to enter data  in the field which we have this edit.  Error property: line through cannot be set because doing so would violate the document permission setting.  any idea how we can get around this issue?

    You can control which fields are locked down after signing by setting up a collection. Then those that are not locked can be changed after signing. If this is not possible, then the line outs must occur prior to signing.

  • HELP! Finder and other applications keep crashing after application install

    Okay, this was probably not a good idea considering I did not read that it was only for snow leopard... but I downloaded the Metalik theme from Julien Sagot's webpage (http://juliensagot.com/). Now, when I logged out and logged back into my account, I see that Finder keeps quitting and relaunching itself. Safari and other applications do the same thing. I cannot open any files or webpages!! (I am writing this on my other computer, haha)
    What is happening!? How can I fix this and return my computer to normal?

    Boot the machine into safe mode, holding down the Shift key. If that's successful, delete the nonsensical stuff you installed and try a normal boot.
