IPad volume turning down itself

iPad volume turning down itself constantly,sometimes it is even hard to mannually put it back up. tried reboot, doesn't work. My iPad repair expired. Any solution?
Thanks!

There might be dirt under the rocker switch for the volume control. There are schematics online for the iPad that will show you how to take it apart if needed. Or you could use a fine toothbrush to try and clean under it.

Unfortunately this is probably a hardware issue and you will need to take it to an Apple Store.

Creative Audigy 2 and Windows Vista: Sound volume turns down when I try to turn it

I have a strange problem with my audio in Vista. I have a Creative Audigy 2 and Creative 6700 speakers. My full system specification is below but please note I did not have this issue in my previous Vista build - its only happening since I did a reinstall. Anyway, when I swich on the speakers using the remote control unit for the 6700 speakers the sound comes on but then it turns down. I have to then increase the volume by a large amount for it to start playing sound again and then turn it down to listening volume. This issue is not application specific - it happens in everything: Winamp, WMP, games, etc etc?I'm using [color="#000000"]Creative Sound Blaster Audigy series Vista Driver 2.2.0002 and I've tried reinstall several times. I've tried doing diagnostic startup etc using msconfig in case something was conflicting and its still happening.

Have you checked the volume button? It might be physically stuck. To determine whether a hardware repair is needed, you need to follow these steps:
1. Try doing a hard reset:
Press and hold both the Home button and the Sleep/wake button simultaneously for about 15 seconds and release when the Apple logo appears.
After that: test the device to see whether the issue is solved.
2. If the issue is not solved, you should backup the device and restore it as new.
In that case, use: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137
NB: set up as a NEW device because a software issue will be in the backup.
If the issue persists after restoring as new, you should offer the device for service.
If you get specific error messages/codes in iTunes when updating/restoring, check this: http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3694 for causes and solutions
Good luck

Podcasts volume turned down...

I've uploaded several podcasts- they download fine to iTunes and appear to work- but when you try to watch/listen to them on the .mac page, the volume in the quicktime controls is turned all the way down. I spent a lot of time playing with my speakers before I realized that the volume control ON THE QT controls was there and it was turned all the way down. Turn it up, and all is well. Why would all of our podcasts be turned down? Is the a setting in iweb/.mac to turn them up globally? thanks

When you add the video to your podcast page (in iweb), you see the same controller bar with the little speaker on the left (it's QT volume control); you can set the volume there too.

Iphone 5.1 update messed up sound. Audio not working in youtube, music and video apps. Phone is not muted! nor is volume turned down

Basics from the User Guide are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as NEW. Unless you've tried ALL of these, you're not done troubleshooting.

ITunes opens with volume turned down

For the past couple days everytime i open up iTunes it gives me a popup that the volume in itunes is turned all the ways down. i usually never touch the volume in itunes, rather the system volume, so i dont know why it "mutes" itself...

I can't help, but I noticed the same thing.... and by the way, I'm on a Mac

Volume turns down on its own

Hi,
I have a weird problem with my wife's iMac Dual Core.
The volume has started turning itself down to zero after a short while of use, leaving the Speaker < ))) indicator display on screen, but with no volume indicated.
If I use the menu bar volume at the top right to increase it, it immediately decreases back to zero.
If I do a reboot and go back in again, it seem to fix for a short time, but. the decreases down again.
I suspect its something to do with the keyboard Vol down button bring stuck in some way on the (wireless) UK Keyboard we use, but the Keyboard Viewer does not show these keys so cant tell its its being "pressed"... Another reason for suspecting its a "stuck" key is that it does it in a click-click-click tempo (decreasing) similar if not identical to the keyboard repeat interval.
The weirdest bit is that the volume keys and controls work normally after reboot... for a short while...
No other keys appear to be affected, and the rest of the system appears to be working fine.
Thanks in advance for any guidance...

Greetings from Mexico!
So glad to run into your post as I have a similar problem: the volume up key appears to be randomly stuck, such that every now and then, on its own, it will go all the way up to the highest setting and remain there. The gray volume indicator persists on my screen, and the only way to make it disappear is to reboot the computer.
I attempted your solution and the problem seemed to go away and now it's back. Since the file you mentioned is gone...
com.apple.soundpref.plist
... I don't know where else to tinker.
Curiously, if I disconnect my USB keyboard, the problem goes away, but it manifests itself so randomly I seriously doubt it's a hardware problem.
Left to try is borrowing a keyboard from office and replacing it, but I hope somebody on this forum has a good answer.

Why does sound volume turn down to zero automatically

I just upgraded to IOS5. I set my sound volume to high in settings, but I notice that it does not ring soon after that. When I look at the settings again, the speaker volume setting has moved completely to the left (low). Is anyone else having this problem.

Yes, I have seen this problem. Sometimes it happens, sometimes it does not.

Ipad Volume keeps turning itself all the way down

ipad Volume keeps turning itself all the way down rendomly i`ve tryed everything from upgrading to V5 to rest the device what should i do

Is the switch above the volume set for mute? Accidentally bumping that would turn down the volume.
Try Settings > General > Lock Rotation to On and see if that eliminates the problem (although beware that the switch will now control screen rotation. If sound starts working corrcetly, but your screen lock keeps setting, then I think you are having a switch problem.

Tried reset, taking off case, no Bluetooth but sound effects keeps appearing in middle of screen. If I turn down volume it goes away but then comes back. Sometimes immediately. Sometimes in 5 minutes. Am not touching anything on side of iPad at the time

Cannot get sound effects icon to stop coming on. When I turn down the volume, the icon goes off briefly and then it comes back on at full volume and stays in the middle of the screen, until I click the volume down again. Doesn't help to reset, the case is not on and it still does this. Most annoying.

Tried any basic troubleshooting steps?
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
You can try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your device settings again.... All of the settings in the settings app will have to be re-entered.

Inspire s2 wireless turns down the volume by itself.

Hey. I bought my Inspire about a year ago and it worked fine.
Then suddenly when i connected it to my laptop it turns the volume down. I can turn it up again but it just keeps muting.
First i thought it was my laptop settings and i'm not a geniuos with computers.
But then i connected the speakers with my iPod touch and it still turns down the volume totally random. It does it approx every 5 minutes.
Can anyone tell what the devil the matter is?
(Sorry for my english, i'm danish :P )?

Hi,
Sorry but this doesn't sound right, I suppose something's wrong with the speakers. You might want to contact Customer Support for assistance.

IPad randomly turning itself on...

I just recently got the iPad 32gb 3G and in the last few weeks, I've noticed that it keeps turning on by itself, when its clear across the room, with no one near it, and it just happened now, with it sitting next to me. Any fixes for this?

Try a hard reset by pressing and holding down on the sleep button at the top of the iPad while holding down on the home button at the bottom, until the Apple logo appears and the iPad restarts. See if this helps.

Is there a way to force my iPad to shut down? I "slid" to turn off three hours ago. The "wheel" is still spinning in the middle of the screen.

Yeah, hold down the top Sleep button and the Home button simultaneously. Continue to hold until the screen goes blank and the Apple logo appears. Ignore the red slider midway through this process, just keep holding both buttons down until the Apple logo appears -- it takes about 8-10 seconds. That should do a soft reset and fix your problem.

Do you have any ideas on how I may resume my TV volume to full capability after disconnecting the HDMI cable and Macbook Pro to watch DVD's somehow my tv volume got turned down and I can't get it to restore fully. Any constructive ideas?

I used the HDMI cable from my Macbook Pro to my Panasonic TV to watch DVD's but I had no sound, so I used the community suggestion in going to system preferences>sound etc. followed the instructions and got great sound in fact very loud to my TV so I turned down the volume from my TV remote control. After watching the DVD's I disconnected the HDMI from my TV and realized for some reason my TV volume now is not returning to it's full volume even though I've tried to turn it to it's maximum. Any constructive assistance is truly appreciated. Thanks.

Hey, it's a simple fix that should give most people what they want until there is full VZW support: the ability to use their card with the VZAM software. I didn't see anyone else offering that suggestion... If you don't want to use it, you don't have to.
At the very least, this does seem to prove the theory that this is an issue with the 32/64bit compatability that some have refuted.
