Itunes volume is low compared to all other sources

Updated Itunes awhile back and now volume is lower than all other sources, turned my computer MIDI volume up but now everything else is loud and itunes is normal. I cant find anything on the web pertaining to a fix

Hi,
Sorry i just returned back to archlinux after a while. Thanks for your input!:)
My sound card is a conexant, and alsa uses the hda-intel module.
I did as you said. It's usable for now, with headphones, but with bigger speakers its kind of low.
I also came to know about the hspda plugin, and audacious has the stereo volume amplifier plugin using hspda. The problem is, if i use the plugin, it does not get saved, so i have to switch it on again the next time i start audacious.
Thanks!

ITunes volume significantly lower

Hello,
I recently updated to iTunes 11.1.5 (5) on my Mac mini (latest), and the volume output to my external speakers is significantly lower than before.
As background my library is on a Lacie external HD, all lossless. My mini is connected to a USB DAC, which is connected to a Denon integrated amp, and then hifi speakers. Since updating to iTunes 11.1.5 (5) the volume is just really low (takes increasing the volume level on my amp much higher than before to replicate the same desired volume). To test this I first stupidly took apart my whole setup, tested the speaker wires and speakers, and amp/DAC, until I realized they were fine, and should compare iTunes to other media players. Anyway, I played a concert DVD / you tube / i tunes with the same songs, at the same volume level and it is night and day, like iTunes is outputting 50% compared to the others. This was never the case until the update as I mentioned. I also saw some similar (much older) threads on here, with no solution other than checking the iTunes/Mac volume level, and equalizer level, and that is not the problem.
This is really annoying because I have this whole setup just for music basically, so if anyone has experienced this / has any ideas on a fix it would be really appreciated!!
Thank you so much,
Tom

I figured it out. I went to see if an iTunes video had the same issue, and saw that the volume on the movie was set in the middle, and after adjusting to full volume, then going back to the music the volume was back at a normal level. The problem is you can't see the iTunes volume under the default setting in 11.5, until you click Window, Zoom. I thought the iTunes volume was the same as the computer volume button at the center-right of the screen, which it is not. Anyway, hope this helps someone. Time to put my entertainment system back together...

No. If you want full compatibility with that display for all Adobe apps you’ll need to move to Creative Cloud.

Syncing to a new iTunes library or computer will erase your iPod. Only if you back up your iPod manually before syncing, you can restore your device from that backup again. A manual backup does not include the sync process.
Do this:
Disable autosync in iTunes, connect your iPod to your new computer and right click on it in the device list and choose backup. iTunes will backup your ipod without syncing.
Transfer your purchases the same way, choosing "transfer purchases" this time.
When you connect your device for the first time, all media content will be erased. But you can restore your settings and app data from your manual backup afterwards.
Don't forget to set up at least one contact and event on your new computer to be able to merge calendars and contacts when you sync the iPod for the first time.
Music is one way only, from the computer to your device, unless you bought the songs in itunes and transferred your purchases.
There is 3rd party software out there, but not supported by Apple, see this thread:http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2013615&tstart=0

Alsa volume is low compared to Ubuntu & Windows

Hi all,
I've noticed that the Alsa volume is too low compared to ubuntu 9.10 and Windows. Even at max slider, the volume is half of that of max of windows. The pcm is set to the max setting that works without distorting the sound.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!:)

My Apple TV does not recognise My iTunes password. It works on all other devices but not Apple TV? Any ideas why or how to fix?

Any ideas why my Apple TV does not recognise my iTunes password, when all other devices, including these communities are good with it?

Hi Mick2291,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I'd suggest restarting, and then restoring, your Apple TV if the issue persists:

ITunes volume is low

For some odd reason my iTunes plays music at a very low volume level. I have the volume slider to the max but i still have to turn my speakers way up and everything else on my computer, like music from web pages, play extremely loudly. Has anyone else experienced this? I cannot find a way to fix this problem except adjust the volume for every song and i'm not willing to go there.

try the equeliser in iTunes
In a standerd way, all is set in the middle

Zen V Plus volume is lower compared to Zen Micro/Phot

Hey, well I just exchanged my Zen Micro Photo for a Zen V Plus today because they were out of stock with Micro's. Anyway, I've tried putting the Zen V Plus to full volume and it doesn't even seem loud at all (which is bad). The volume restricter is off and so is the smart volume which both make it less louder if they're on. The Zen V Plus at volume level 25 sounds like Zen Micro Photo volume level 22/23. Has anyone else converted from Zen Micro Photo to Zen V Plus, or vice versa? I just want to know if it's just me noticing the difference, but I highly doubt it is.

With the very strong possibilty of permanent hearing loss and the risk of Class Action lawsuits from consumers that have lost their hearing, it's going to be harder and harder to find a company that releases really loud players.
I've got tinnitus and it never stops- I can hear the buzzing/ringing all the time, no matter what I'm doing. I've lost a lot of hearing response in the vocal ranges and it makes it nearly impossible to understand some people's voices.

To sync new book in iTunes, it says it would delete all other books on the iPhone. Is that only the iBooks or Kindle books too??

I'm so confused! The pop-up message says, "Are you sure you want to sync books? All existing books on the iPhone will be replaced wth books from your iTunes library." I have scores of books in Kindle. Would those be wiped out?? Thanks for your advice.

After I posted my question, I saw this very helpful comment by Jim VanLeeuwen on this page:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/15799186#15799186
He says:
"iBooks are iBooks and are maintained in your iTunes Books library. They can be selected to sync with your iPad and iPhone for use with the iBooks app.
Kindle books are not maintained in your iTunes books library and they do not sync to your devices via iTunes. They are archived on Amazon's Kindle servers. To load Kindle books to either your iPad or iPhone, use the Kindle app on the device. On the iPhone, open the Kindle app. Go to the home page and scroll down past any books you have loaded to find archived items. Tap archived items and choose from the list of books you have purchased that you want on the phone. You can access your Kindle archive from any device with a Kindle app that you have registered to your Kindle account, including your computer."

I have Lost the volume on firefox OK on all other systems on the laptop

The volume has gone when i use firefox. The volume is there on the laptop when using any other system

Well after posting my issue in regards to my volume, I went on to read some other clients issues and discovered your answer! I feel a little foolish, but yes, my master volume switch was off.
Thanks for your response though, it confirmed my discovery and all is now back to normal
Thanks again

Itunes keeps on saying... Cannot connect to itunes. No network connection".. all other things/websites work except for itunes.

I need Help ASAP. Itunes keepson saying "cannot connect to itunes. No network available". I dont have have any problems with regards to wifi.

Can you try these entries in command prompt (Run as Administrator for Win7/Vista) one at a time?
ipconfig /release
then
ipconfig /renew
restart computer
ipconfig /flushdns
totally shut down computer then restart.
netsh winsock reset all
restart computer
Now test your iTunes again. If that does not work, uninstall your Antivirus program and test again

How do I keep itunes from automatically importing mp3's from other sources

I merge multiple files into single mp3 files. I used to be able to do this and add them to a folder to add to iTunes at a later point, at my leisure. Now, when I merge these into mp3 files, they are automatically being added to iTunes and it is driving me nuts. I use either internet explorer or google chrome. I have since deleted chrome as this problem started soon after I installed chrome. However, it is still automatically importing these files. I want to add them, but at a later point, not automatically. Any ideas on how I can make this stop?
Thanks.

Hmmm ... the only the possibility I can think of is that:
something is causing Windows to open the mp3 files as soon as they are created, and
iTunes is set as the default program for mp3 files
This would result on the behavior you are observing, though I'm not sure what the "something" would be. It may be worth trying this:
In Windows Explorer, select any mp3 file
right-click, select Open with and then Choose default program
Is iTunes selected here, like this?
If so, try changing the default to Windows Media Player, make sure the "Always use the selected program ..." box is checked, and click OK.
Now try your mp3 joining process again - when it finishes, does the mp3 file now open in Media Player rather than being added to iTunes? Even if so, this doesn't really solve the problem as I would expect the mp3 joiner program to just create the mp3 file and not subsequently try and open it ... however, this might give an indication whether this a direction to go in (or not).

Volume of microphone button inaudible when pressed when overall volume on high and all other sounds/ringer/alert volume working fine! Is there a way to fix this? Was working fine yesterday.

Hello, the volume of my microphone button in text messages is inaudible when pressed, even when my overall volume is on high and all other sounds/ringer/alerts volume are working fine! Is there a way to fix this? Was working fine yesterday. I've tried rebooting and turning Siri on and off, and can't think of what else to do. All googling results in posts about the mic not recording sound loud enough or not working. My mic works just fine; it does the job of recording, but I want the chime to be loud so I don't have to look at the screen to know when I can speak; I like to hear the chime to alert me. Any help is appreciated!

I agree with you about the volume on the phone itself. (I have 3Gs). It needs to be louder. I also wear hearing aids. However I do think there may be something wrong with your phone because when I connect my earbuds (Klipsh) I get very good volume through them. In fact at full volume it's way too loud. I would push for a replacement phone.
FWIW, my daughter (who also wears hearing aids) has trouble hearing her iphone. It appears to have more to do with the speaker not being lined up with the hearing aid's input. Her audiologist pointed out that some current hearing aids support bluetooth, I think we will get those next time we replace her hearing aids.

Volume very low on calls

HI can anyone help please?
MY iPhone suddenly has decided to have extremely low volume when I'm on a call!!!! I can hardly hear the other person and they say they can hear me fine??? Anyone know how I can fix this? Thanks

seabreeze1982 wrote:
yes Peter, but do I have to hit them every time i am in a call? Can't I just set it to the highest volume and let it stay there? Thanks
As Peter said, When you increase the volume after answering the phone on the first call it's set's at full volume, so when you receive all other calls from then on, it's set at full volume constantly.

HT204370 the volume is very low on downloaded movies from itunes, and my volume is turned up all the way, and my volume is fine all other times???

My volume is very low when I download a movie from itunes, and my sound is turn all the way up. The volume works fine on everything else. It's really hard to even watch the movie and enjoy it. Why is this happening?

Morning Al My issue has since been resolved after some advice from a friend. It was simple, push the optical cables in firmly until they click, however mine didnt click but there was definatley room for them to be pushed in further as if they are loose they "leak". in addition to this on the TV settings, make sure that the TV speakers are turned off
