Ipod Volume changes

I have an 80gb classic i purchased recently and am having volume issues. My MP3 files are played at a much lower volume than aac encoded files and are inconsistent relative to each other. I have tried sound check and it makes no difference. This problem occurs only on the classic not on my shuffle, in itunes on mac or pc or in foobar on pc. what can i do to fix this, and why would it occur only on my ipod not on my computer or shuffle?

There are 3rd party programs that do this more effectively (at least in my opinion).
For Windows there is mp3/aacGain.
For Macs there is iVolume.
Also Macmp3Gain.
Btw, you did have soundcheck applied in both iTunes and the iPod?

  • Volume changes when ipod is tilted

    This morning while I was headed out for my morning commute, I started my music and walked out the door. As I walked the volume changed - so, thinking it was being changed in my pocket I took it out and tilted it toward me. The volume went down without me touching it. I tilted it away from me and it went back up. I tilted it back and it went down again. Locking the ipod seemed to stop it - but I'm wondering if this thing is on it's last legs and to expect to buy another soon? Or if it's a fixable thing that others have encountered. I've had this ipod for ~6 years and I would hate to lose it now. 

    Turn off sound enhancer and sound check features in iTunes.
    and set iTunes volume to maximum - this iTunes slider is like the master slider in Logic, only 0 in iTunes is the maximum value:
    I found it helps to always adjust your actual listening level with hardware controls (interface, amp, etc) and keep all audio apps at unity gain - only mix in Logics' mixer. It keeps things that are already complicated just a bit easier.

  • Volume changes

    Hi all, is there any way to stop the ipod from changing the volume when I remove it from the dock? It goes almost to 0 every time.

    The iPod recognize Evers different volume and how do you change it.
    So you must change it to sn level you want connect Change it there to sn level you want and disconnect. Then the iPod should change to your volume level. It's the same with the earphones.

  • Bluetooth phone causes iPod volume to lower

    Has anyone experienced this?
    In the car I place my Treo 650 next to my iPod. Anytime the phone rings the volume on my iPod automatically lowers to around 40%. It only happens when the two are next to each other. It is very consistent.

    This is normal most phones especially GSM Cell Phones, are know to commonly cause the volume bar on the iPod to change at random when the phone is too close to the iPod.

  • IPod Volumes with Sound Check on

    Out of these two charts (below), i havent decided which one is more accurate yet (which one do you think?), but I'm thinking of sticking to a 60% volume level
    http://www.generationdeaf.com/whysetvolumelimits.html
    http://www.hearinglosshelp.com/weblog/?p=86
    But I think it's a bit redundant when you consider that most songs are all at different decibel levels. So I use Sound check to equalise them to one level. However, when you put sound check on (that is, so that all the songs play at the same decibel level), technically that changes everything in that chart as the volume is noticeably lower than when turned off. So what is the decibel level that the iPod changes all the songs to, when Sound Check is turned on? So that I can figure what is a safe volume level while having all songs at the same volume.

    Fixed it.
    Quit iTunes.  Make sure it is really not running (not just invisible - I had a script running that stopped iTunes from actually quitting)
    Then hold down the Option key and click on iTunes to open it.  It will ask you to "Choose iTunes Llibrary".  Click on "Choose Library...".  Then choose your normal "iTunes Library.itl" file which is in your personal iTunes folder under ...user/Music/iTunes.
    This will force iTunes to rebuild its working library info and fixed my weird volume changes.  Now turning on and off Sound Check works as it should.  The song with the 1.1 dB volume setting did not sound different.
    Good luck.

  • Main "Play Control" volume changes on its own when I open and close WinDVD or Winfast

    Main "Play Control" volume changes on its own when I open these programs, and when they're closed the main volume resets to where it was before the program was opened.
    Surely I'm not the only one who has had this problem before.. I've had the problem with both Creative soundcards I've owned, before and after different drivers installations.
    It can be very irritating and can potentially lead to damaged speakers if I'm not paying close attention to what my various volume knobs are set at before and after I open these programs.
    I appreciate any and all input, thankyou.

    I had to edit to reflect its Mavericks 10.9

    So in the last few days I’ve noticed that pressing my volume change keys actually isn’t changing the volume on my macbook pro at all. When I press the volume up or down keys, it makes the recognisable pop sound but stays at the same volume while the squares go up or down. I mute it but my computer still makes sound. It’s the same with the volume control up the top of the screen, too. I slide it up and down and it doesn’t change the volume at all. The only way I can change the volume is with my speakers or the program I’m in (iTunes, VLC etc). I restarted and it seems to be okay then I go to change it a couple minutes later and it’s back to not working again.
    I’ve checked my settings- the “use all F1, F2, etc. keys as standard fuction keys” is not switched on, and I have tried a suggestion of moving the com.apple.systempreferences.plist file out of the library and onto the desktop and restarting and neither of those seem to make any difference whatsoever. I’ve tried to find online forums but the only suggestions I found were those two and they didn’t work.
    I’m just annoyed because I usually have the worst luck with technology but my macbook had been going strong and I got it because of the apparent lack of things that could go wrong, but of course even if there is one thing that could go wrong it will happen to me.
    Please help!

    So even if I just ask to pay them to replace the lock button they won't because my screens are third-party?
    Apple does not repair devices beyond replacing the screen on some models or a battery replacement.  They replace the ENTIRE device.
    For the Out of Warranty replacement cost, you could have gotten a fully functional replacement device.  Instead you chose to spend less to get only the screen replaced and continue to live with additional issues.
    Apple will not touch the device now.  They will know that it was opened elsewhere and that the replacement screen is not original.

  • Opportunities with volume changes

    Our company has opportunities that can bring in revenue over several months, quarters, or even years. More often than not, a volume trend will be associated with the revenue.
    Is there a way to properly forecast the volume changes within a particular opportunity, or do I need to have our sales team create a new opportunity each time the the unit volume adjusts?
    For Example:
    Opportunity XYZ:
    Q1 2009 = 1000 units x $1 = $1000
    Q2 2009 = 2000 units x $1 = $2000
    Q3 2009 = 3000 Units x $1 = $3000
    Q3 2009 = 1500 Units x $1 = $1500
    Thank you in advnace for your help.

    Thank you for the feedback. Yes the product revenue object will address my needs. However, its not very intuitive for the sales team to use. The opportunity has sales stage, the revenue has sales stage... they both have closed dates. Its somewhat of a mess to get people up to speed. I have found it much easier to not use the revenue object and keep it simple within the Opportunity details.

  • Wild volume changes thru Home Theater System

    I have a Sunfire Theater Grand system hooked up by HDMI cable from DVR to HT. HDMI from HT to TV. Optical Audio from DVR to HT from HT to TV. For some reason I am getting large volume changes.  It seems to be switching from stereo to Dolby Digital would be my guess.  An easy example that really bugs me is that when i watch the local news the dolby digital comes through perfect then we go to national news and the audio I believe must go to stereo because the center channel is non existent. This also happens when watching shows and then a commericial comes on and blows you out of the house.  Is there any way to have the audio transmit the same for all reception?  I didnt have this problem with Dish Network. This is so frustrating.

    Acutally the audio is digital on all channels (not switching to stereo).  It just has huge volume changes between programing and commercials.  Pretty frustrating.  Does anyone else have this problem?
    There could be two issues at work.  The first is how your receiver decodes and outputs DD2.0 vs DD5.1.  The second is relates to the audio levels on the channels themselves, including whether or not the content is encoded with dialogue normalization
    It is very common for channels to insert commercials at higher volume levels.  Sometimes this is done on purpose, and other times it is a specific to the settings on the commercial insertion equipment and/or the encoded levels on the commercial source.  Verizon passes most video and audio as is, so many of the differences you hear are due to the source content.  On most channels, Verizon does not process and adjust the audio levels as DirecTV and Dish Network do.
    You might check to see whether your processor has a dialogue normalization setting.  Most Dolby Digital 5.1 programs are encoded with a dialogue normalization value, which is meant to equalize volume between DD5.1 encoded content on a particular channel.  When this setting is enabled, it usually serves to reduce the volume levels on DD5.1 programs encoded with dialogue normalization, and then you may hear a volume spike when you are hit with commercials and other channels that are not encoded in that way.  If dialogue normalization is already enabled on your receiver, you might disable it add and observe the difference on your system.
    Some newer receivers do have a built-in audio adjustment feature (ex: Audyssey Dynamic Volume, Dolby Volume).  This is meant to equalize the volume levels across different channels and sources, much like DirecTV does with their signals.
