Incoming calls adjust computer volume unwarranted

A few times in the past I've tried to use "supported devices" with my Mac and newest version of Lync via USB. This didn't work since you still needed to register the devices independently through the device itself (Polycom CX600, Snom 821, etc.)
instead of through Lync like you can with the PC version... (that's another sad story of Microsoft's software claims!)
To get to the root of this issue, now that I no longer use any USB connected devices with Lync, I cannot get the software to STOP adjusting my system's audio levels upon incoming calls. I currently use a standalone phone device for phone calls. The software
still shows a "Custom Device" attached and the only selection under "Audio Device Settings" and there's no way to de-select it or turn it off.
Any ideas?

Are you running Skype by chance? It has a similar behavior.

Incoming ring and text volume very low!

hi, have recently noticed that when i lower volume level for music,video,games,other media, it also reduces my ringtone and notification volume level too! (even though the slider bar level is on max for ringtones,notifications.) so if for e.g i lower video volume on youtube etc, it takes my incoming call and text volume down too! this never use to happen and only noticed when i saw led missed call,text, flashing.try your own z3c?
settings-
sound-
volumes-
music,video,etc (on low)-
ringtone&notification(max)
ok.
now check incoming call,text volume (very low on mine) so i have to reset music,video,games etc to max to hear incoming calls,texts but i dont want max volume for music,video,,,
b.t.w I'm still on kitkat 4.4.4 but as i said the volume levels could be individually adjusted since out of box.
now strange thing is my mate has the xperia sp and i checked his yesterday and he had same issue (jellybean) and because his volume level on video,games etc is low but max on ringtone,text he too misses calls and texts! (unless of course he sets max volume on the video,games). also using volume on side of phone has no effect either.
any ideas?
cheers.

Adjusting Volume Control - Incoming calls too loud

I have a Samsung Galaxy S GT19000 mobile phone. I have no problem adjusting the volume of normal calls, but when using Skype on my mobile, the speaker volume is so loud that I have to hold the phone away from my ear or put in an earplug. Does anybody know how to adjust the volume in Skype?

I have played with the media volume while on calls and when not on calls. This does not adjust the sound for skype. None of my phone's sound options adjust the sound for skype. Still no solution?

The Skype incoming call volume is controlled by your phone's "Media Volume" in the

Try the Media Volume and see if that fixes your issues.

I have an I Phone and the volume of an incoming call is too low and I cannot adjust it

My I phone 4 has just recently lost it's volume on incoming calls, there appears to be no way that I can increase the volume

Have you tried giving it a reset? Hold down the sleep and home keys for about 20 seconds. When you see the silver apple let go and let it reboot and see if htat helps.

Adjusting volume for incoming calls - not the ringer

Just got a new 4S and although the "sounds" ringer is turned all the way up, I cannot hear people when they speak. Is there a separate setting for incoming sound?

Hello,
I would love to help you with this issue.
To change the volume of your caller's voice all you need to do is, when in a call, press the volume buttons. The top one to make it louder the bottom one to make it softer.
I hope this helps!

No ring sound volume on incoming call, no speakerphone

My Xperia Z3 Compact is about 6 weeks old (US-unlocked) and recently the phone quit ringing audibly when I have an incoming call. When I get a call, the screen comes on and shows that I have a call, the phone vibrates like it always does and the LED flashes bright white. But no sound, no ringtone. Actually - a very quiet ringtone but through the small phone receiver speaker (where you listen to a caller with phone to your ear). All other notifications and stuff sound out normally: SMS, email, alarms, startup sound, music all work fine. Only incoming calls have no ring volume. I have checked the volume settings and have the ringtone & notifications volume slider wide open. I have changed ringtones, adjusted every sound and volume setting on the phone to no effect.
I did a hard reset and that did not solve the problem. After hard reset I let the phone update as necessay (the phone was up to date, many Sony apps updated). I did not re-install my data and called my phone a few times after the hard reset, still no ring sound on incoming call.
I did another hard reset and did not let anything update, still no ring sound on incoming call.
Related to this is the fact that on any phone call, the speakerphone does not work. If I turn on speakerphone, the caller can hear me but I cannot hear them. If I turn off speakerphone, everything is fine (I hear the caller in the earpiece, they hear me). The external speakers do work fine, I can play music, video, etc. and it all sounds fine. I have tried all of the different ringtones and they sound fine except for when someone is calling in and I hear nothing.
As an aside, this phone has not been dropped or wet or any of those things that might have created a problem.
Any ideas?

Volume won't adjust using computer volume keys

Hi everyone
Skype is not doing my ears any good at present. When I plug my ear phones in and begin to make a call I almost go deaf with the volume of the ring tone. I immediately try and adjust it with the volume control on my key board but nothing happens. I have to then go to the options tab in the Skype window and adjust it that way.
My question is, how do I link my computer volume control to the volume of my Skype calls so that I can adjust it using the volume control keys on my my keyboard?
Many Thanks

For Audio, the best that you can do is PCM/WAV @ 48KHz 16-bit. Adobe programs can have issues with MPEG encoded Audio, and especially if muxed into a single AV file.
For more info on Conforming, this ARTICLE might prove useful. If one does not allow the Conforming to complete, upon Import, then issues can occur.
Good luck,

I have a ringtone that works great on my computer but the volume is very soft on the phone. I have adjusted the volume on the phone but the ringtone volume is still too low. Is there any way to adjust the volume of a ringtone?

I have managed to sync a ringtone to my ne i phone 5C but the volume is way too soft.
The sound is great on my computer but hard to hear at all on the phone. I have tried turning up the volume button on the phone but it doesn' do anything for the ringtone. Any ideas on how to solve this problem. The ringtone is "calypso blackberry" and I am not able to locate it in the Apple store ringtones. This should be so simple and it is making me nuts.
Help anyone please.
Bob

So you use an RCA cable going into what before it hits the MBP?
EDIT: Also in System Preferences > Sound > Input > you can select the input & adjust the volume accordingly as long as it's plugged in.

So my I phone 4s volume has decided to pack allowing only my phone to make sounds when I have an incoming call, I can also here fine using facetime and receiving calls. YouTube, soundcloud, any of I players will no longer play sound. I've restored the phone using iTunes on my laptop and checked all the volumes are turned up and the button at the left hand Side of the phone is in the correct position.

Try inserting and re-inserting your headphones 7 or 8 times. Also try cleaning out the headphone jack in case of debris that might be interfering with the connection/disconnection.

What can be wrong with my iPhone 4? There is no sound from incoming calls, SMS and even when I play music. I already checked that it's not muted, volume is high and not set to "vibrate mode."

Volume keys will not work with incoming calls on headphones

So the headphone that came with my iPhone 4s, and others of the same type I have used, will not allow me to lower the volume of the caller. I would be listening to my music or something, it could even be at 50% volume, however the incoming call pushes it to 100% and will not allow for my headphone or iPhone volume control turn down the call. I have to unplug my headphones and just talk on the phone its self in order to turn down the volume.
This problem was first noticed in iOS 6, and is contiued into iOS 7. I do not recal it happening in iOS 5.

TTY was on after going through the settings one by one. They need to explain what TTY is within the settings menu. I have been useing TTY for 2 years now not knowing it.

Hi rsample,
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
Your symptoms make it sound like the iPhone side switch is set to silent mode.
