Ipod to Stereo- Low Volume from Receiver

I have connected my Ipod to my stereo receiver (Pioneer VSX-1015Tx) using a Monster Ipod to RCA. I have tried using various inputs on the receiver, but in each I have to crank up the volume to get a good sound. Does the Ipod need an amplifier? Does a dock do this?

You should be able to connect the ipod to the AUX, CD, or Tape input with the volume on the ipod at max. and not have any distortion using the same receiver volume setting that you use with other inputs. Have you tried any other devices on these inputs? Have you tried another cable? What is the source of the music files you have on the ipod?

  • Connecting old ipod to stereo amp & volumes

    i have connected an old ipod nano 2gb to my main amp and speaker system . The ipod volume is at 100% and is sort of ok to listen to but produces less volume than when using other input sources such as an fm tuner or xm radio. QUESTION: does the age or type of ipod have any imact? will a newer model ipod produce more volume ? Thank you in advancec for an answer.

    hi mike,
    i never asked myself about that AGE question but i have a 1º gen ipod shuffle (the usb stick) and i have the same volume problem...
    i cant put the ipod volume up to 100% otherwise the sound from my hifi speakers will distort and give a horrible scratchy sound as if it is vibrating of to much bass...
    so i let my ipod volume at usual headphone level and turn volume up on my amp using my RCA-3.5" ipod cable - but sometimes i forget to low it back to CD level and when i switch to another source i get heart attacks from the blasting volume
    im looking to get a 5º gen ipod nano since i dont need the gadgets of the touch but like to see my song list, which the mini hasnt so since i only have 6gb of mp3, the 8gb model is enought at 140€
    i will get back to you to see if the volume distorded sound still persists in NEW ipods

  • Do you experience low volume from the calling party in phone calls?

    I have my iPhone for about 9 days now. Prior to yesterday, I did not experience any problem with the volume.
    What' happening is this: when a caller calls in, the volume of the caller is so small, that I really can't hear at all! It is annoying as I receive calls from clients. And I had to look for another phone to call back the any callers, or turn on my speaker. These solutions are temporary. I had tried increasing the "ringer" volume to maximum, using the controls on the top left side of the iPhone. Still the volume was so soft. Prior to yesterday, the caller's volume was loud and clear! I suspect something went wrong with my soundcard, or something. I off and on my iPhone, but it does not solve the problem.
    I wonder if others faced the same problem? And any ways I can rectify the problem?

    The earpiece volume for phonecalls on my 3GS has been weak since day 1. I have the volume for earpiece calls set to full and it is still hard to hear the person on the other end unless I am in a really quiet room. It shouldn't be like this... max volume should be too loud to use 95% of the time, if you are using any device at max anything it indicates that the device was underspecified... do you drive your car at redline on the tach all the time? No, it is just for very rare occassions when you really need to outrun a tornado...

  • Low volume from top speaker

    I'm finding it very difficult to hold a telephone call as it's so quiet and the volume appears to be at its loudest.
    Also listening to music the majority of the sound comes from lower speaker please any help would be fantastic

  • GE70 2oc - low volume from both the internal and external microphone

    Hello,
    I have an MSI GE70 2OC and the following problem. The volume of the sound recorded from the internal microphone (as well as any plugged-in mic) is very low. Even when the mic is set to 100 and there is a boost of +30dB the sound quality is very poor, that is there's either a loud noise/static or a distorted sound (when the noise reduction is on).
    I have the latest audio driver installed (Realtek HD Audio, ver. 6.3.9600.16384).
    Is there a way to solve this problem?
    I'd be grateful for help!

  • Nokia 5800 Low volume from headphones

    Just wondering if anyone else thinks the volume for music playback, even when set at max, with earphones is pretty low? (Not exactly "Big On Sound"!)
    Is there any way to change this?

    For Bass:
    - Select Bass Booster In Equalizer
    - Select Loudness (On) in Settings
    - Turn Stereo Widening OFF in Settings
    Now turn up the volume and enjoy
    For Loud Music:
    - Select Default In Equalizer
    - Select Loudness (On) in Settings
    - Turn Stereo Widening OFF in Settings
    Now turn up the volume and enjoy...

  • Very low volume from external speakers when watching Netflix

    MacBook Pro Why might external speaker volume be extremely low when it is turned up to max in Sounds and on F11?

    Do the external speakers have their own volume control?

  • Very Low volume from headphone output on iMac

    Since upgrading my 2011 27" iMac to Yosemite, the sound output from the headphone jack has plummeted, to a point where I can hardly hear it through my external speakers. Before, it was deafening, now it is almost inaudible. Airplay output and the internal speakers seem unaffected. I have restarted, zapped the PRAM, checked Audio MIDI Setup, checked Sound Prefs, everything is turned up to the max, to no effect.
    Any idea what might be happening here?

    I also experience the same problem with my MacBook Pro 13" last gen. I haven't used my iPod's earphone with it for some time. I have noticed this problem since yesterday (4/6/2010). Beside resetting PRAM, repairing disk and its permission, plug and unplug the head jack, tried with different earphones, check the Audio Midi Setup; I also deleted all audio plist files in /Library and ~/Library folders (incase those preference files are corrupted). Those efforts fail to solve the problem.
    Is this a problem caused by 10.6.3? I never have a problem while still using 10.6.2.

  • Connecting ipod to stereo - music comes from ipod not speakers

    I am trying to connect my new ipod nano to a stereo system through the docking system on the stereo. The stereo is able to turn on the ipod and play music - however i hear the music playing through the ipod speakers and not the stereo. Radio or CD play fine through the speakers.
    Is the problem the docking system or is there some way in the ipod to tell it to output to an external system? earphones work fine.
    thanks for any help.

    I am having the same problem and yes, my instruction booklet states that my automobile is capable of this. When I connect, nothing happens.

  • Very Low Volume From my Brand New Traveldock!

    I just got my traveldock for my Zen Microphoto...and am very disappointed... I can barely hear it!! I do not have the "soft sound" button on, and I've checked the connection--it IS docked properly. The sound is of fine quality, just very very low... I have the Microphoto turned all the way up AND the volume on the Traveldock turned all the way up. Please help.

    I have the same problem. It appears the audio jack doesn't make proper alignment. It works fine when plugged in through the line in port using a cord. The remote doesn't control the microphoto either when docked. It appears that the microphoto is supported by the traveldock? Any ideas? Does Creative even read these posts? ?

  • Ipod 80gb classic- low volume

    had the ipod about 3 weeks. had syncing issues finally got some songs back on it..when to listen had almost no sound even a slight buzzing . did a "soft" reset or reboot w/e and i got some volume back but even at 100% volume with the stock ipod ear buds its just barely above normal were before it would have been blasting.
    i then moved the ipod to another computer did a full restore synced all the songs again/ same thing got volume but the balance is off and the voume is way under par
    all thru itunes. volume slider in itunes is full. no sound check. EQ makes no difference. the slider bar per song is none ive checked lots of posts to no luck

    I think the problem has to do with the volume limit that accidentally your iPod is now set to – it happens...
    Go to the main menu on the iPod, click on settings and check out the volume limit
    A white bar indicates the volume level the iPod is currently set to, and below that white bar, there’s a marker that indicates and limits the top volume your machine can get to. Click and adjust it to the max or to the max volume u feel comfortable with.
    That should do the trick

  • Very low volume from Music Video

    I purchased a music video for the first time and the volume is way, way too low. I have my powerbook cranked all the way up and it's still way too soft. All my other music plays just fine. What can be done about this? It was Alice In Chains music video "Would?"

    Hi,
    One thing can help is the following.  Right click the speaker icon in the Taskbar and select 'Playback Devices'.  Left click the default device once to highlight it ( it's usually 'speakers & headphones' ) then click the Properties button.  Click the Enhancements tab and put a tick in the box next to 'Loudness Equalization'.  Click Apply to save the change and then click OK in all remaining windows and see if this has helped at all.

  • I have horribly low volume from my audio instruments via MOTU 828

    I am really frustrated. The MOTU 828 is a soundcard that has inputs for microphone ( I use 1/4" plug but also has XLR). Obvioiusly it accomodates other electrical instruments that I crank through an amp first (volume on 10) and connect via the amp's headset jack.
    NO matter what I plug in the volume is horribly low in Garage band track. THe motu 828 has "input gain" for each input t and that is cranked to 10. Then in GB I have the "track mixer volume" cranked up (and the volume in "Track Info" is grayed out).
    When I shout into the microphone Track equalizer barely moves and I can barely hear myself. Then I make a recording which is ever so slightly audible on playback but the "sound waves" don't even register in the region - it looks like a flatline.
    One thing that is interesting is that when I connect my keyboard to the Motu 828 +via the headphone (audio) jack+ it works great and I can easily turn up the volume in the track "mixer" or on the keyboard and get it to equalize and peak in the red.
    Why am I unable to record my microphone or my guitar amp (through the 1/4" headphone jack) at a decent level?

    Mhurst08,
    Are you talking about the Headset jack on your Amp or on the computer?
    In my case: I use a XLR Male/Female Cable through my Audio Interface.
    I go through (*Mic Instrument 1 Plug*) optional in my case... if i want to activate phantom on interface;
    make sure *Input Volume* for that channel is up, along with *Inputs/Playback Mixer Knob* and Headphone volume, if using... not sure if your interface contains these volume knobs.
    In term of GB in TRACK click New TRACK, then click *REAL INSTRUMENT* then CREATE.
    In *GB Preferences* go to (Audio/Midi) in both *Audio Output* and *Audio Input* choose( The name of your interface if listed) in your case... Motu 828. if not, again in both try
    Audio output(Built-in out) and Audio input(System Settings) which plays back through computer speakers... the first config., plays through interface.
    Under Track Mixer you must click the circular dot button in front of the symbols: Mute, solo, lock,etc., buttons.
    Go to (*Track Info Pane*) section and in *Input Source* choose( Mono 1) if you're also using your guitar at the same time you have to go back to *New Track* and take the same steps for Real instrum., and then choose Mono 2, and so on.
    Last steps: Monitor can be *on or off* try both; underneath Monitor, is your *Recording Level* may sure it's turned up... not to high with Monitor ON... will get feedback.
    You can also check the *Master Slider Volume* next to *LCD( measure, time counter, etc).* Oh, by the way your 1/4" cable should work.
    See if this solve the mystery!

  • Audigy 2 ZS with 5.1, very low volume from front center spea

    I have an Audigy 2 ZS and Altec Lansing 25CN speakers (5.). The sound comes out fine from all but the front center speaker, from which I can barely hear anything. However, if I run the Creative Diagnostic and test the speakers, the sound comes out just fine. Tests in the THX Console work fine too. Anyone have an idea what's going on?

  • CQ61-413 low volume

    My laptop (CQ61) has had very low volume from the internal speakers right from new.  Running W7HP. HP web site help no use at all.  Anyone else experienced the same?

    the volume on Macbook Pro's stinks..it is very unsatisfactory.  Someone in here suggested this app Boom from the app store.  I just purchase it a few days ago and it is very well worth it.  It makes the speakers much louder.
