IPad volume too low on Apple TV when watching movies

Hi.
I have the latest Apple TV, 3rd Gen iPad and Retina MacBook Pro.  If I play any movie through Apple TV using my iPad (using Video App) the volume is often far too low.  This means that I have to turn my Amp/Speakers up (to around +60; +40 is normal) often leading to the sound cutting out altogether and on one occassion blew my amp.
However, I can put the identical film/file on my MacBook Pro - stream that into my Apple TV and the volume outputs at +40 as normal and everything is fine.
Also - If I stream TV etc through the iPad and play it onto my Apple TV - again this can be heard no problems at +40.  The same can be said if I stream a youtube video using the iPad (+40 is fine)
I can only conclude there is something amiss with my iPad or in partic the Video App/settings for films but have no idea how to remedy it.
Pls can someone help me sort this as my Macbook pro is often left in the office and so I cant use it to watch movies at home all the time
Thanks

Have you tried checking or resetting your volume limiter under "music" from the Settings home page.  Scroll down to "Music" and tap "Volume Limit".  Once there you can either turn it off or raise the maximum volume.  If you go to the max it will just turn off the limiter.
Here's a video from CNET that also explains this easy adjustment.

Hope this makes it better for you.

  • Why is the volume so low on my iMac when I'm using Safari?

    Why is the volume so low on my iMac when I'm using Safari?
    On both my 2008 MBP and my new 2014 iMac 27" when I listen to the audio portion of a streaming video or news story using Safari, I can hardly hear anything. I have to crank the volume all the way up just to barely hear what is being said. Any ideas on how to fix this?

    please help!! I have the new 2014 iMac 27" as well, same thing happen to me. Dont know what to do!

  • My "Apple TV" is hooked up via HDMI to my Marantz receiver.  Everything works fine when watching movies.  When trying to watch a show or listen to music, there is no sound.  Has this happened to anyone else?

    Perhaps you should ask over in the iPad community, you may get better answers there.
    It's actually my fault that psoon ended up here ... s/he intially posted over at Home Sharing, and I tried a relocate request to Apple TV rather than iPad.

  • Freezing video when watching movie on 2nd monitor.

    Freezing fregrently for a second video when watching movie with ful screen option.
    OSX 10.6.8 system.
    MacBook pro 3,1
    2.2 GHZ
    memory 4GB

    You won't be able to do it with the included QuickTime media player. But it can be done with other media players like MPlayer or VLC I am pretty sure. Haven't had this exact need myself but have seen other similar threads and recall the above being recommended. Good luck.

  • Air Screen Dims when watching movies

    Hi all! This is a stupid question. I've just purchased a new macbook air 11.6 in and when watching movies (not in ful screen) the screen dims, Im assuming because of inactivity with keyboard, etc. I dont like to watch all movies in full screen, so how do I change the settings to allow for longer 'inactive' times? Meaning, I don't want the screen to dim after only 5 minutes. Thanks!

    In System Preferences > Energy Saver > uncheck "Automatically reduce brightness before display goes to sleep"
    Also adjust the sleep timer to suit.

  • When watching movie on ATP2 the display of computer never sleeps

    When watching movies on ATV2 the display of computer will not go to sleep. After fiddling with setting both on computer as well as ATV2 the problem still persists. This coincidentally happened after lastest upgrade never had the problem with last firmware. Is anybody having the same problems?.

    when the computer fall asleep it power down it's harddisk and it's netcard
    so you would likely be more bothered if it did fall asleep because then you're atv2 would
    lose the access to the media if you play media from your shared itune lib

  • Background volume too low even when turned up to 200%

    I'm just making my first film with iMovie '08. I can't seem to get the volume of an audio clip to play louder. I purchased a specific song on iTunes. I then brought it into my movie as background music. I've turned up the volume to 200% and reduced all of the audio clips to 15%. This is driving me crazy! Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong? The background audio is just too low and I can't seem to increase it.
    Thanks for your help.

    When you play music from iTunes can you play it at full volulme? If so, it is not the MBP it is either something to do with the MP4 player (what are you using for that) or the conversion.

  • Earpice Volume Too Low!!

    I switched from Verizon and a RAZR phone to the iPhone last week and the earpiece volume is TOO low!! I can only hear well in a quiet room or when I use the Headphones, but in a restaurant holding the phone up to my ear, forget it, very low volume. Heck I was walking along Collins on South Beach yesterday and the street sounds made it impossible to hear well.
    This is BULLS%@#!
    Is Apple doing this to conserve on battery power?
    Other than that, (oh and Safari crashing everyonce in a while) I love the phone.

    If u change the volume on the phone does it work?
    I dont have that headset so i would know...
    and the jawbone is probably much better than it
    About the crashing... it happens to probably anyone, but apparently, by reseting it (holding home and sleep) it makes them happen less often

  • Iphone volume too low

    When I am talking on the iphone, the volume is too low.  This happened about a week ago and I can't seem to increase the volume.
    I tried the standard things like raising the volume on the buttons.  I also updated the phone to the latest version, and reinstalled the operating system.
    Any suggestions?

    Have you removed the...
    I jest, I jest. But seriously, if the phone hasn't been dropped, mishandled or otherwise adulterated, it should be covered by your warranty, i.e., it's defective.
    Are you near an Apple store? If no, there's an 800-number to call, but it escapes me. 800-MY-APPLE??? I can't say, really.
    In the interim, you may find some useful info here, but maybe you've already been.
    Godspeed...

  • Ipod volume too low

    The maximum volume on my ipod is too low.  When I am driving,  I cannot hear it.  When I use the car jack,  I cannot hear it.  How do I turn up the voume
    on the ipod so it can work?   I don't have the same problem with my iphone,  it works fine.

    And why is the crappy supermarket mp3 player louder then my Ipod Classic then???
    I don't know, you tell us!
    I also use an extra AKG headphone with a low impedance which fits the Ipods output, otherwise it would even be more silent.
    I have an old pair of AKG K340 headphones and I use a Cmoy "altoids" amp to drive them from the iPod.
    I compared also with my old 5.5 Video Ipod and with the volume cap enabled (i can also uncap it of course :-)) it is 5dB louder then the classic.
    I believe it is a known fact that the 5th gen iPod can be hacked, the Classic cannot.
    I am also working for a very big service department for Nokia Siemens Networks and within i learned that the customer is the king, but this doesn't seem to apply for Apple.
    As has already been said, it is an EU law - and all mp3 players sold within the EU must comply with EU legislation. If you know of a brand that doesn't, perhaps it's not actually approved for sale within the EU. Apple are not going to ignore an EU law, whatever you think or say! Do you think the EU would simply roll over and let Apple ignore this law?
    I am not the only complaining customer i suppose, and normally when a company is loosing (normally satisfied) customers it should think about customer oriented solutions.
    As above!
    When i buy an Apple product i automatically assume a very good product, but i am really, really annoyed this time. Other producers within the EU don't play by the book and no one takes care about it, or how can the supermarket mp3 play much louder than the classic (i measured the same!! output impedance).
    I believe other manufacturers do play by the book. Is "supermarket mp3 player" a euphemism for something that should not be sold within the EU?
    You know - since you feel this strongly about it, you should take the matter up with your MEP (Member of the European Parliament), since what you say here will not change a thing.

  • VoiceOver volume too low

    I hope everybody can understand the title , as I am still an English learner
    Recently I got a ipod shuffle and I love it.But when it is noisy outside I am not able to hear the voiceover , for the volume is too low.Especially when changing playlists.
    I know there's no way to make it higher. So can anybody here help to communicate with Apple for the problem ? thx

    All of us here are only users like you.  The most we can do or suggest is for you to leave feedback to Apple using this link.

  • Volume too low on ringer and with hands-free headsets

    Both the ringer's volume and the volume within headsets are too low in my new Droid X. When holding it to my ear while talking it is loud enough well below max volume, but hearing people through headsets while driving is often too low with all volumes set to max (on loud freeways, for example). I usually keep my phone's ringer on silent vibrate, but it would be nice to be able to turn it up louder when the phone is sitting on a desk at home. Cell phone ringers can be obnoxiously loud, but there are times when people need to have them turned up.
    Because it is an issue in both the ringer speaker and the jack for wired headsets, it seems like there is a good chance of getting a software fix to raise the max volume levels. Reading posts on forums, it seems clear that this problem is widespread in most, if not all, Droid X devises.
    If you are having similar problems, please take a moment to call both Verizon and Motorola with a polite report of the issue. I spoke with both today and they said they were aware of the issue, and the tech at Motorola said they were "looking into" a software fix for it. If enough people call and report it, we have a better chance of getting a fix sometime soon.
    Verizon's support line is: (800) 922-0204.
    Motorola's is: (800) 734-5870 (I chose #6 for "other issues" a couple of times after routing into Droid support to get a live tech)
    It can be frustrating to filter through the support systems and report it, especially if they tell you to try obvious things like rebooting the phone and turning the volume up, but it really is the only way to get them to fix this issue. Both techs I spoke with actually looked in their systems right away and acknowledged the issue is being reported by people.
    Of course, if anyone has a real solution to this issue, please let us know what it is!

    Thanks for the suggestion JKramer. I should have been more clear about having adjusted all volumes up in the settings screen. Assuming all sound options are located within the "Settings --> Sound & Display" screen, then yes, I have tried changing them. I have also tried changing the option to "use incoming call volume for notifications" under the "ringer volume" settings, after reading that someone had success in improving volume that way.
    This issue is not a problem all of the time. It is only an issue when there is an elevated level of background noise, such as driving on the freeway, or having music or a movie playing in the room.
    The phone is otherwise excellent! I live and commute in areas of very spotty reception (with all cell providers), and this phone will keep calls and not even have voices garble where my past two phones have consistently dropped calls in at least five problem locations. So far, everything else about it seems to work great!
    Maybe some of these phones don't have this issue. Or, maybe the people who say they don't encounter the problem are lucky enough to live in relatively quite environments most of the time. In a quiet house or office, it is certainly loud enough. It just needs to have the option for increased volume when in noisy places. The issue is that its "max volume" settings are not as loud as with other phones.
    Searching for something like "Droid X volume" will indeed show many people experiencing these same problems on various forums...

  • Volume too low on Lumias

    I previuosly owned a Lumia 800 and now a Lumia 920, and both have exactly the same problem...the earphone volume is just too low. Things are fine of you are hearing in a quiet room, but if you are walking or jogging in the street, the music volume at 30\30 is too low.
    Nokia should get an iphone or ipod and compare, Hard too see how Nokia can sell itself as a music platform, yet produce sub par music devices.
    I'm angry because of this. The Lumia 920 is an expensive device. Switching back to the iphone...

    I love the Lumia 920 and the Windows 8 OS. I started off with the iphone, then to android, and now to windows 8 phone. However, there are certain things that should be left up to the consumer to control. Not everyone is the same, your hearing may be more sensative than another person. Since this is a Nokia issue, the volume should have been left to a volume level that will please everyone. I like listening to music loud especially when I am cutting my grass. It is annoying using a weed trimmer and I can hardly hear the music cause it is too low even though I have it at the max setting. The exteranl speaker is the same issue. 10/10 is rediculous. Everyone is always trying to control the way others do things and say things, express themselves, etc. It needs to be adressed and included in the next update. 

  • Volume too low on download from itunes store how to fix

    My download from itunes store won't play on my ipad at a decent volume.  How do I fix it? 
    Actually, I suspect the download itself is too low and fuzzy.  How do I reload?

    If you are having a problem with a song you downloaded from iTunes, you can report it to an iTunes worker and they will redownload the song for you for free.  Go to the song you bought and find where it says "report a problem".  Click on that, and you can explain your problem to an iTunes worker.
