Itrip volume problem: volume reduces to zero when itrip attached to 3rd Gen

I've had a 3rd Gen ipod for some years and a (new style) itrip with silver selector button for about a year. Both have been working together fine until recently.
I'm based in the UK, went on a trip to the USofA recently and while there my itrip would not work. Every time i plugged it in the ipod volume would automatically reduce to zero. Thought this may be because i was using it in another country but the problem has persisted back in the UK.
Other online sources indicate it could be a problem with the itrips auto-adjustment of volume to reduce FM distortion but even with starting volume low (20% - 50%) the same reduction occurs.
Anyone else experienced this? ...any fix available?
thanks,
paul.
ipod 3rd Gen   Windows XP   itrip (with silver button and display)

Hah! I found the problem. It isn't with the Apple hardware or software. If I sync my iPod the problem goes away. If I restart it, the problem goes away. After talking with an Apple Expert I concluded that the problem must be with one of my third party apps and I determined to start checking them out to find the offender. Turns out a fun little game from the App Store called Parachute Panic is the culprit. It is repeatable that when I launch that app when music is playing the volume slider in the Music app goes bonkers. I'll report the bug at once.

  • Walkman Volume drops to zero when i connect a headset

    My walkman Volume drops to zero when i connect a headset. I can adjust the volume settings for media but it snaps right back to zero. When i disconnect the headphone the volume settings work again so i can listen to media like mp3. But i would like to use my headset. Any tips? 

    Hi
    I believe this has something to do with "Smart Connect" app.
    If you don't wanna check on a lot of settings, then clear the data of smart connect app ( settings > smart connect > clear data) and your phone should be working as supposed to, otherwise check on the settings and it's easy.
    Run the smart connect app > select "Music on the go" or "Music at home" ( Or any other profile to check) >Select the edit option at the bottom then check the settings if you have set the volumes to minimum when you choose to connect your headsets.
    If you find it confusing, just clear the data of app and see if it works for you.

  • After iOS5 update ring tone volume go to zero when connect to VW Passat 2011 car kit

    My iPhone 4 worked greatly before iOS5 update, after that every time it'll connect to RNS315 bluetooth interface ringtone volume go to zero and i've to re-set manually to the right volume. Re-paired but no changes.
    Any ideas?

    Well, visited my VW dealer and they said no updates for my car based upon the VIN/Reg and whats more there is no way this is a VW issue. Something in the iO5 5 bluetooth area has changes for the worse to force this to happen. THis is an Apple issue not a VW one and they should resolve, hoped that the 5.01 would fix, but no. Come on Apple sort this problem out.

  • Bricked when trying to update 3rd gen Nano

    Hi all,
    Just bought my new Nano 8gb 3rd gen and when connected to iTunes on Vista it asked me if I wanted to download the latest firmware (about 50mb). I did that, downloaded the file and for a while I didnt see anything happening (iTunes window would minimise, close etc). I disconnected the ipod and saw that the ipod storage is now all used up (0kb free) and iTunes does not see the iPod when connected. Do you know why this has happened and now to fix this? Thanks

  • Why is the syncing so slow when I sync my 3rd gen iPod touch?

    I am currently syncing my 3rd gen iPod touch to the newest version of iTunes. It is still "backing up the iPod" and it is still not done after 15 minutes. Is it because of my computer (windows 7 64-bit) or is it because I am syncing alot of things/items (apps, movies, music)? Or is it another problem?

    Correction: Thank you FoxFifth for the good information. I did find this information earlier before landing here in the support community. I have come to the end and I am uncertain about trying to reset my I-pod touch to the factory settings. I was satisfied with the older version of i-tunes. Can someone direct me how to downgrade i-tunes perhaps?

    Problems using Sony ECM DS70P Microphone with Vado HD 3rd genXHello.
    I have just purchased a Vado HD 3rd gen & was looking forward to using my Sony ECM DS70p Microphone,but after a couple of tests, the recording is extremely low & barley laudable.
    The Microphone works fine on My Kodak Zi8.
    Is there an internal setting I have to adjust, or is there a fault with the Vado
    The Sony ECM DS70pMicrophone can be clearly seen in use here on a official Creative video.

    If anybody can offer some help or advice please, I would be very grateful.
    Does anyone have a suggestion for a low profile stereo mic, to use with the Vado 3rd Gen
    Thank you.
    Thank you.

    This is happening to me too, I don't know if this is an Adobe Flash Player 11.5's bug or it's just my computer. All my browsers, chrome, IE9, Fox, doesn't even load anime videos. I tried reinstalling 11.5 many times, it have no effect but I use IE9 64-bit to run the videos that couldn't run. I waited 25 min for a JW player to load an episode of anime and I'm sick of it.

  • When my ipod touch (3rd gen) displays an white image, a whiter spot appears on the screen?

    It only appears when displaying light images, and i have only just noticed it a few days ago. My ipod touch is running iOS5.0.1
    If you have had this problem, please tell me how you fixed it.
    It's not a dead pixel, it's just a small circle of pixels that seem to be a noticably different shade of white than the others.
    My ipod is under 2 years old now, so the warranty is void.

    You can try the standard fixes to rule out a software problem:
    - Reset. Nothing will be lost.
    Reset iPod touch:  Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factry defaults/new iPod.
    If you still have the problem then repair/replacement is required if you do not want to live with it.

  • Error -48 when trying to synch 3rd gen iPod Touch

    My daughter keeps getting an Error -48 "iPod cannot be synched at this time" when she tries to synch. This happened right after she downloaded a movie--before that it worked fine. I have an older version Shuffle and it synched with no problems.
    When I tried to find the iPod under My Computer and clicked Properties, there is no Tools option.
    Any help would be be greatly appreciated.

  • When I sync my 3rd gen nano, there is no longer a games option tab. What happened?

    Every time I sync it, there's no longer any games option, and I can't figure out what happened. Anyone know how I can fix it? Should I just try to restore it?

    It seems as though since Apple removed clickwheel games from the iTunes Store, they have also removed the ability to resync games you had already downloaded previously over to your device.

  • What does it mean when my Ipod Touch (3rd gen.) screen is black with a loading circle?

    My 3rd generation Ipod Touch is currently broken, I'm not sure. The screen is black with a loading circle that has been loading since yesterday. The device won't shut off nor has it run out of battery yet. Any clues?

    have u tried restarting it yet? hold both home and power button for at least ten seconds... or it could be just in the process of shutting down (not going to sleep mode but actually turning off) and is taking a while to process everything???

  • IPhone 4s volume automatically reducing to zero

    Both the talk and ringer volume keep repeatedly reducing to zero.  It's almost like there is an invisible finger on the minus button. I have to keep pushing the plus button the whole time I am on a call in order to maintain a conversation.

    Ditto.  And my ringer volume keeps going down to zero.  I discovered it after silencing the phone (side button) and turning back on.  Ringer vol. goes to zero EVEN though I have it set not to change if +/- buttons are touched.  Then, it goes to zero if phone is in bag and I imaging because the buttons are pressed in the bag.  So frustrating.  Let me know if you figure anything out.  If not, iPhone is going back if basic phone doesn't ring.

  • [iPad2] The volume went to zero directly after update iOS 6 @_@

    After update to ios 6.
    The volume went to zero directly when i pressed volume down just once only.
    Is there anyone have the same problem?
    Or maybe there is any setting can solve this problem?

    There have been a few other discussions about this happening when updating the iPad. I haven't seen a fix. There is no specific setting that would affect this but 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
