HT1551 Apple TV 3 Settings Menu, Volume Control "on" or "off".

In Apple TV3, Settings Menu, Sound - there's an option to turn Volume Control "on" or "off".
What is the functionality of this option, as I can't seem to adjust output volume neither by the standard remote control nor by the "Remote" App.
So what can I do if I turn the Volume Control option "on"?

This just happened to me. I however had a diagram flash up indicating I neede to connect a micro USB cord to the apple tv to my main iTunes computer. The system has to to be restored to it's orginal settings via computer. Problem is how many people have this cable? The one I had failed. Apple did a poor job with this.
I called support and they told me that though wireless works, any interuption in the signal will interupt the update. I did find an Energizer micro USB and this appears to have solved the problem, I have reconnected to my TV yet.
This is one thing Apple totally messed up. We keep hearing that Apple thinks TV can be better not with this issue it won't. They needed to be ahead of this and weren't

I just got an iphone 4 yesterday. I got everything all set up and working great. When I woke up last this morning, my ipod has no sound and the albums covers are all mixed up. I've checked all my settings and volume control. My text sound won't work either. However, my ringtone works just fine.

Have you taken the steps recommended in the User Guide: restart, reset, restore?

Gnome volume control applet is off screen

Any idea on how to fix this? I have been gone from gnome for a while. Last time I was here the volume control applet slider was vertical. Now that it is horizontal, it exits screen right when it is on the right hand edge of the panel. (For those of you on links/lynx/elinks who cant see my pretty picture)

Call and Volume control problems

Whilst either making or receiving calls the other person can barely hear my voice and when they do the line constantly crackles at there end, i can't hear any problems though. Also i have the volume controls set to OFF yet i can adjust the volume using the side control buttons.

Having suffered with this problem for several days i decided to go into the apple store and explain the problem direct, it appears that the handset is faulty and i was given a replacement handset free of charge. I also hear several other people complaining about the same issue so its looking like handset issue.

Nike+ Stopping and starting with headphones with volume control

I have new headphones, the apple ones that you can control the volume and stop start and skip to the next song. About two weeks after using them on runs, the program starts hesitating (stopping workout switching songs at random). I have returned headphones to Apple Store and recieved new ones with the same result about two weeks later. Please help, it is a big inconvience.

Has anyone found a solution for this? I've gone through two news sets of Apple headphones (with mic and volume control), and I'm still having this problem. It isn't continuous, and I can't seem to find a cause/effect relationship. But, it is very annoying, and makes using Nike+ worthless. Yesterday's 40 minute run only recorded as 33 minutes. Thanks for any help.

Volume control (slider) in CP 5

Hi, I've just started testing Captivate 5. I would like to check if it will be suitable for my needs (making software demonstrations at a wiki (Mediawiki software).
I've been searching for a volume control (not on/off button, but a slider). I've found that it can be downloaded from a third-party supplier for CP 2 and CP 3, but I'm still searching for a solution for CP 5. Any clues out there?
(I'm also looking for a way to control the size of the swf video in the wiki, I'm posting that as a separate thread)
In advance, thanks a lot!

Hello,
In Captivate 5 there is a volume control widget. Did you try that? Open the Widget panel (or the Widget Workspace), click on the button Browse, you'll find it in the Gallery, Widgets folder.

How do you increase the voicemail volume on an iPhone 4s ( Verizon ). The phone volume is fine. It is when I retrieve voicemails. Even the speakerphone is faint. I have adjusted the side volume buttons and the volume control in settings.What am I missing?

How do I increase the voicemail volume on an iPhone 4s ( Verizon )? The phone volume is fine. I have adjusted both side volume buttons as well as the volume control in settings.

Number one - that person has given you false information...the Apple store genius bar supports all Apple products whether in or out of warranty. Checking is free, service on an out of warranty item is not free.
Try a reboot by holding both the power and home buttons until the apple logo appears, ignore the red slider if that appears.
Since you show that you have iOS 7.0.3 you might want to update that iOS to 7.0.4...plug the iPhone in so you are on a solid power source, then while on a WiFi go to Settings > General > Software Update and update to 7.0.4.

Volume control for video playback through Apple TV2

I am trying to configure the volume settings used on airplay through apple TV2 and a macbook pro and Iphone4 all with most recent updates.
I am using the apple remote app on my iphone to control the apple tv.
Whats working:
Using the pandora app on my iphone through aiplay to the apple tv, I can control the volume using the plus and minus buttons on the side of the iphone for volume control. Very cool and easy.
Using the apple remote app on my iphone I can control the itunes volume of different speakers by clicking on the airplay icon and using a slider. Not as cool as using the hard +/- buttons but still works.
Whats not working:
Controling volume on appleTV2 through the iphone remote app for video playbacks like netflix, and youtube.
Why I want this: RIght now I can control most of the multimedia right from my iphone including cranking the music up:) But when I switch over to video(Netlfix, Youtube) I have to get out another remote (stereo reciever) to control the volume. It seems we are so close to being able to control everything off the iphone, the only thing missing is volume control for video playback.
Is there a setting that can be changed or a solution I havent found?
Thanks

Same problem with TV3. HDMI volume output is not adjustable, neither with the original Apple remote nor with any universal. Why ? Every simple settop-box is able to be volume adjusted. And a Mac Mini too ?!!!
I use a flatscreen TV. it has 3 HDMI inputs and one optical out for the audio going to an amp standing behind it. The sound of the TV is switched to go to the optical out.
HDMI 1 is connected to the satellite settop box with its own remote control ( channel +/-, volume +/- etc. ) it work s fine.
HDMI 2 is connected to the MacMini HDMI out with its own remote control ( channel/music +/-, volume +/- ) it works fine too.
HDMI 3 was connected to Apple TV3 with its own remote control ( channel/music +/- but no volume ). I sent the TV3 back to Apple.
What's going wrong in the mind of Apple ? Why is the HDMI volume output of the MacMini adjustable with the Apple remote, and the TV3 not ?
I want not to discuss, wether a 4th remote control is useful or not. I don't want it. I want to adjust the volume with the originl remote control of the specific unit I use, because I need it anyway. It worked since years, but not with Apple TV3.
How can we help Apple to open the volume +/- function on their own remote control ?

Volume controls on my Apple BT Keyboard do not control volume on my Mac Mini

I just updated the OS on my Mac Mini to Yosemite and everything was working fine, but earlier today the volume control buttons on my Apple BT Keyboard stopped controlling the volume on my Mac Mini. I was watching a movie just last night and the keyboard controlled the volume just fine. So the keyboard WAS working fine for a few hours after I installed Yosemite.
When I press the volume buttons I get the screen display for sound and instead of the up and down volume that I usually get when repeatedly pressing the volume button I get a zero with a line through it. The same thing happens when I press the mute/unmute button so the computer is not muted. And it's not an issue with the F key settings in preferences because the volume buttons DO get a response and display on the screen, but the volume doesn't change and, as I said, instead of the up/down scale I get the zero with a line through it.
I can change the volume using the mouse and sliding the volume slider in ITunes up or down, but that's the only way. Also, strangely, the volume icon in the Apple bar at the top of my screen is grayed out. When I click on it, the slider shows volume all the way up and it's grayed out. And if I click and drag to try and change that slider, it doesn't respond.
Basically, it appears that the keyboard is, in some ways, not compatible with the computer. I'm typing with the keyboard now, and all the other buttons work except for the volume up/down/mute buttons. Even the change track, play/pause buttons work just fine. So it's not specific to the music controls. And again, I DO get that display for volume when I press volume up/down/mute with the zero and line through it.
I've owned Macs for over 10 years and this is the first time I've seen this. Very, very strange so any help possible is appreciated.

I am using my ipad 2 ( bought in USA) for about 3 years. 2 weeks back the touch gesture was completely out of control and the screen was jumping automatically to so many applications. I attempted to get original settings through settings menu, but unfortunately while resuming when I typed a pass code the touch gesture , without control it typed unknown passcode and while confirming the passcode as well same thing happened.
Now my Iapd2 is disabled and itunes also not recognizing my ipad.
I kindly request you to help me to fix the issue.

Many thanks.
With those symptoms, I'd try the following document:

Why doesn't the volume control settings allow a greater range (on the low end)?

Maybe my ears are really sensitive, but for every iphone I've had, the lowest volume is not low enough. My phone is often louder than I want in my headphones even at the lowest setting. I find myself trying to lower the volume but ending up in silence. After putting it back up to the lowest setting, I end up clicking down again a few minutes later because it's too loud for my surroundings and situation. It's a huge volume jump from the lowest setting to completely off, and alot of times the lowest setting is too loud (even with normal buds or headphones).
The volume limiter setting only limits the upper end, but doesn't change the lower end (just makes the 16 set increments smaller in that reduced range). I know there is also an option to turn down the volume of individual songs in iTunes options, but this problem applies to all aspects of the iphone beyond just my music library (Music apps, Videos, etc.).
Why hasn't apple expanded the lower volume limits? There has to be a way, or is this not possible? Can anybody think of a way to fix this problem?

Look for headsets with a volume control.
I did exactly this for awhile. I used to have Skullcandy Asyms with the inline volume attenuator (wheel). They've since discontinued them, and my 5 pairs are having wire connectivity issues. All their current models have iphone like volume mechanisms. The problem is most headphones with volume controls tap into the phones own volume control (so the set 16 volume increments). I also looked into using a dongle attenuator, but having the dongle hanging off the phone is just awkward and not easily adjustable.
I don't know why there can't be some form of internal attenuator option, or some other way of extending the lower range of volume.
Does anyone else have this problem of the iPhone being too loud in semi-quiet environments?

Audigy 2 ZS Platinum Software Issue: Volume Control, Speaker Settings, Equalizer, C

I installed my ZS Platinum back in December, everything worked fine for 2 months, then I started to hit trouble.
First, the driver began hanging when I took my headphones in/out, resulting in no sound from either output. I updated the drivers and this problem went away.
Then, I was gaming and all the sound stopped working. Reboots did nothing, so I tried to reinstall the drivers. This is how the problems began. The first time I uninstalled all my creative stuff, downloaded the newest drivers, and installed that. I didn't realize that I couldn't download all the bells and whistles off the drivers page.
So, I unistalled those drivers, and used my CD to install the drivers and MediaSource. I encountered the PLXcore.plx error during install and every time I booted Windows. Also, none of the extra applications (Volume Control, Speaker Settings, Graphic Equalizer, CMSS) would run. I uninstalled, reinstalled and tried again.
This is where I am now. I chose not to install MediaSource this time. Again, I encountered the PLXcore.plx error during install, but I'm not receiving the error when Windows boots (because I didn't install MediaSource?). But still, most of the little applications don't run. I see the Volume Control icon in my task bar, and if I press the mute button on the keyboard the symbol changes, but when I click on the icon, nothing happens. "Creative Volume Con..." flashes on the taskbar, and a 0px by 0px white box appears above the task bar. If I click anywhere else, they disappear. The Graphic Equalizer, Speaker Settings, and CMSS dialog do the same thing when opened. THX Console does not.
Also, the on screen display for volume no longer pops up. Is this part of MediaSource? Should I install MediaSource even if I don't plan to use it's

EDIT: Thought I'd add in another problem I have:
I usally run my DISH reciever's sound through my computer through the Auxillary 2 RCA connections on my front panel. When I boot World of Warcraft or Warcraft III (Both Blizzard games), the sound through this connection becomes very tinny and reverby. If I alt+tab out of the game, adjust the speaker setting (5. -> Headphones -> 5.) the issue goes away. But each time I start one of these games, the problem returns. Any ideas? Known problem?Message Edited by Cuttlefish on 03--200703:9 PM

I'm sorry I can't help but I have the exact same problem. I have no Speaker, EAX or graphic eq settings. No telling what else don't work. I have tryied 0 different ways of removing and loading it back with any and all updats and without and no success. I hope someone here can help us.

Volume control when using Apple TV for playing video

Hi,
I'm using a pair of active speakers with no built in volume control with my Apple TV. When using the ATV for streaming audio (for example Spotify) I can control the volume with the iOS device I'm using as the source, but not while streaming video. Why is that, and, is there anything I can do about it?
//J

does the sound on the pad work for face time when you are using in on the pad, with no apple tv involved?
If so - apple tv uses a ton of resources. Facetime uses a ton of resources. facetime over the TV is hit or miss.
doulble tap the home button, and see what is in the rask bar. Close off everything else by touching and holding an icon until they jiggle, the close them by touchinmg the minus sign.

Apple tv. i have rebooted three times. i have wildlife pictures moving across screen. I can't get to settings menu.

That is the screensaver. Does the light flash when you press a button on the remote?
