Lowest volume still too loud

I frequently listen to my iPod nano while doing other things. However, the lowest volume setting is still too loud for background music. Can that setting be changed?
iPod Nano Windows XP

Just to clarify...is it just the background that is too loud, or is it the whole volume output. I mean, is the background taking over the song, or is the volume simply not going low enough?
If the background is taking over the song, check the Equalizer in the Settings. Turn it to the Off setting. If that doesn't work, Restore the iPod.
Actually, for both problems try a Restore (after the EQ thing).
I hope this helps and post back!

Sound still too loud

Over a year ago the sound in the flash player was way too loud on 100%.
Now it's still too loud. On 50% volume it seems to be normal.
But this only appears, when the system volume isn't set to 100% (when I'm using headphones without a volume control).

A few questions:
What version of Flash Player are you using? (Right click on Flash content. It will be displayed at the bottom of the context menu)
What browser and version are you using?
What operating system and version are you using?
What sound card and driver version are you using?
Can you give me a link to a site that reproduces the problem, or is it all Flash content that you encounter?
Do you see the same volume problem on both HTML5 and Flash videos, like in the examples below?

Facetime the volume is too loud

I just updated my iPod touch to iOS 6 and when I Facetime the volume is too loud even if I turn it down. I tried to restore it several times but nothing changed...what can I do? Do I have to send it to Apple support?

I am having a similar problem - but it's not exactly the same.
I upgraded my iPhone 4S to iOS 6 when it first came out and everything seemed fine.
Last weekend, I noticed that I had soem issues with music copied to my phone which I couldn't seem to delete and after a lot of mucking about, decided the ebst best was to restore my phone to basics and re-load all of my music.
I noticed when I did the restore to rhe iPhone that it downloaded a new copye of iOS as part of the restore.
After the update, I managed to clean up my music but in phone calls, the audio on my phone - through the handset speaker is too loud and it makes the speaker vibrate. If i try to use the volume buttons, i can see the volume slider move up or down but the audio volume doesn't actually change very much and even at low levels the audio qulity is poor. the speaker vibrates. Strange thing is that if i put the phone call on speaker phone, it's fine.
If I use the headphones, volume does change on calls when i use the volume controls on the headphone cable. it even changes when i use the volume buttons on the handset with the headphones plugged in and in both cases the audio quality is fine.
With the headphones in music volume is low but does adjust up and down using wither the cable volume controls or the ones on the handset.
Audio on music through my car sound system seems fine and does increase or decrease as I adjust it in the car.
The only issue seems to be phone caslls through the handset speaker in normal mode......

LG Cosmos 2 - volume is too loud even on lowest setting

Hi, I recently got the LG Cosmos 2 and so far I'm fairly pleased with it. The only thing that bothers me is that the volume is very loud even when I set it to the lowest setting. This applies to both the external speaker volume and the headphones volume when playing ringtones and music.
I'm just wondering if this is normal and if there is something I can do to lower it down even further.

I found a great solution this afternoon, but this will be of use only for ringtones that you've added to the phone because unfortunately most of the time the phone's own ringtones are locked due to either Verizon's rules and/or the rules of the phone manufacturer.
One of the ways of adjusting the volume is a program called Replay Gain. Perhaps analogous to the many versions of Linux, other software writers have implemented Replay Gain in different ways. Each implementation has differing advantages and disadvantages.
My interpretation is that these versions fall under one of two categories:
In the first category, the program writes the information about the volume change to either an APE tag or an ID3 tag, and the music player reads the information in the tag to determine what volume to use. The disadvantage is that this is not a universal solution because the music player used needs to be able to recognize these tags; otherwise, that tag information means nothing to that music player and the volume will be played at its original level.
The program I used today called MP3Gain falls in the second category. Programs in this second category alter the audio file, BUT they don't alter the audio in any way other than its volume; to keep this post shorter, see the next post for greater detail about this alteration. MP3Gain in addition writes information about the volume change and about what the original volume was in an APE tag if you wish to use MP3Gain to undo the volume change. If I did a poor job of summarizing that, there is a lot of great information out there about MP3Gain if you do a google search.
I downloaded MP3Gain from here (link). While some of the various implementations of Replay Gain can be used on more than one audio format, MP3Gain can be used only on MP3 files.
step 1:
add the mp3 ringtones to MP3Gain and click the button "Track Analysis". The information that's important to us for our use is the number that is now in the column "Volume" which is a measurement in db. If the button says "Album Analysis", click the down arrow next to it and select "Track Analysis"
step 2:
At the top where you see "Target 'Normal' Volume", enter the volume that you want the mp3 ringtone changed to. Personally, a value of 91 puts me in the ballpark. If that's not low enough or not high enough, then you can just repeat these steps and apply a different value.
step 3:
Click the button "Track Gain" since I want my several mp3 ringtones to have an identical volume. If the button says "Album Gain" or "Constant Gain", click the down arrow next to it to select "Track Gain". MP3Gain's help file has excellent information about the difference between "Track Gain" and "Album Gain". I don't understand yet what "Constant Gain" is.
Step 4:
You're done.
I've read that older music players would not ignore the APE tag and would instead get confused by the presence of the APE tag and interpret it as audible noise. Our two models of Verizon non-smartphones don't seem to have any problems with the tags being left in. If by an unlikely chance either your phone or your music player plays the mp3 file with noise that wasn't there before, then you can turn off the use of the APE tag by choosing "Options" --> "Tags" --> "Ignore (do not read or write tags)". After turning this off you can still restore the volume to its original value if you had made a note of the original value when you clicked the "Track Analysis" button. Or just keep an unaltered backup copy of the mp3 ringtone.

When I burn a slideshow from wondershare fantashow the music is to loud even when I play it on the tv and turn the tv down the music burned on the dvd is still too loud and has a vibrating sound like too much volume.

Hello does anybody know about wondershare fantashow for mac? when I burn a slide show to a dvd the music is too loud. then when i play it on my tv and turn my tv volume down the music on the dvd is still vibrating too loud. How do I adjust that in fatashow before I burn it to dvd? thank you

Hadn't heard of it before today!
There are many ways to produce slide shows using iPhoto, iMovie or iDVD and some limit the number of photos you can use (iDVD has a 99 chapter (slide) limitation).
If what you want is what I want, namely to be able to use high resolution photos (even 300 dpi tiff files), to pan and zoom individual photos, use a variety of transitions, to add and edit music or commentary, place text exactly where you want it, and to end up with a DVD that looks good on both your Mac and a TV - in other words end up with and end result that does not look like an old fashioned slide show from a projector - you may be interested in how I do it. You don't have to do it my way, but the following may be food for thought!
Firstly you need proper software to assemble the photos, decide on the duration of each, the transitions you want to use, and how to pan and zoom individual photos where required, and add proper titles. For this I use Photo to Movie. You can read about what it can do on their website:
http://www.lqgraphics.com/software/phototomovie.php
(Other users here use the alternative FotoMagico: http://www.boinx.com/fotomagico/homevspro/ which you may prefer - I have no experience with it.)
Neither of these are freeware, but are worth the investment if you are going to do a lot of slide shows. Read about them in detail, then decide which one you feel is best suited to your needs.
Once you have timed and arranged and manipulated the photos to your liking in Photo to Movie, it exports the file to iMovie as a DV stream. You can add music in Photo to Movie, but I prefer doing this in iMovie where it is easier to edit. You can now further edit the slide show in iMovie just as you would a movie, including adding other video clips, then send it to iDVD 7, or Toast, for burning.
You will be pleasantly surprised at how professional the results can be!
To simply create a slide show in iDVD 7 onwards from images in iPhoto or stored in other places on your hard disk or a connected server, look here:

Volume is too loud - deafening loud on the lowest setting!

I just bought a brand spanking new 5G 30GB black iPod video to compliment my 2gb black iPod nano.
Everything was fine with the nano. Perfect in fact - no problems whatsoever despite all the complaints you can find on the internet.
So it was with some reservation I find out the bigger cousins are somewhat less 'solid' (it runs hot, it clicks and whirrs, it's slow and the battery is not very long lasting).
However I can live with all of those complaints if it weren't for the fact that using the exact same libary as the one for the nano the volume is EXTRA EXTRA EXTRA loud. That is to say there is no setting other than ZERO to LOUD. On the nano there was incremental steps at the low end, on this ipod there isn't!?
This is what I've tried;
Sound check on, sound check off. Doesn't help.
Limiter LOW, limiter FULL. Doesn't help as the increments are the same regardless.
Volume change in iTunes. This helps to some degree but I have some tracks on 2% loud and they are still VERY LOUD and because I can't be bothered applying individual profiles to each single track I apply this to my whole libary and find many tracks TOO QUIET.
Oh boy what a mess.
So I've come across MP3gain. It's working through my library as I type. However I shouldn't have to use this and I want to know why I am when it worked perfectly with the NANO.
What the **** is going on?
PC Windows XP Pro

MP3Gain did little other than make everything too quiet. I suppose there is value in it if I get the right settings but considering it takes hours to go through my library maybe I'll skip it for the moment. ****

Installed 12072 - phone still too loud

Just installed the latest firmware and still have the problem of the volume settings between 6-30 being too loud. In fact there seems little difference between 6 and 30.
I thought this update was supposed to fix this? Or is there another volume bug this was supposed to fix?

Those are just check boxes as far as I can tell. Ticking or unticking does not seem to influence the volume of the speaker when on calls. It is just the volume through the external speaker while on calls that is too loud. All other media is controlled satisfactorily.

My 2nd generation itouch volume is too loud

The volume on my itouch is way too loud even at the lowest setting. If I slide it anymore it would mute. I don't know what to do. Can anyone offer any advice?
Thanks

Go into the Settings app then press Music. You'll see an option called "Volume Limit." This is Apple's way of making sure you don't burst your eardrums. Use the slider to adjust the Volume Limit to your prefrence. It also you be your headphones or speaker. Try using a different speaker or another pair of headphones.
Hope I helped!

Volume adjustments- too loud, or too low

I live in an apartment complex with very thin walls.
I watch dvds and stream videos/tv shows from the internet. sometimes there is no secondary volume adjustment for the video I am watching
when I use the keyboard volume adjustment there is a HUGE difference between the very lowest volume and mute.
is there a way to make it so there is broader range of "scale" or any setting where I am able to set a desired default "low" setting?
Thanks in advance from a new iMac recruit

Hi Kyle,
"To change your volume by smaller increments, hold down the Shift and Option keys as you press the volume keys."

My Volume Limit restriction won't work.. It's still too loud, what am I doing wrong?

As the header says... I've followed what the manual says, but I still can't get the volume to get any lower.. My daughter have played music on it, and it sounds like the speakers are gone soon... So I really want the volume limit to work, before the entire iPod touch is broken...
Can Anyone please help me ASAP?

A. The Volume Limit setting lets you change the maximum output of your iPod’s headphone jack. The actual sound pressure level that you experience depends on several factors: the music you’re listening to, how it was recorded and encoded, the type of earbuds or headphones you use, and their placement in your ears.

Microsoft LifeChat LX-3000 Volume is still too loud at 0%

Hi,
I got the Lifechat LX-3000, and when I move the volume slider down in the volume controls, it gets quieter, but when I get to 0% I still hear sound, and I cannot make it get any quieter than it gets at that point. If I click mute, the sound goes off, but
I want to be able to use the headphones at a lower volume than what it is at 0%. I'm running Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit.

Hi,
Firstly, please test the issue using another headphone.
If that one works fine, based on my research, please download and install the
driver and see how it works.
If issue persists, it is recommended to contact
Microsoft Hardware Support for help.
Hope this helps.

Volume Issues - Too Loud & Too Soft

This is a problem I've had for awhile now. It's getting unbearably frustrating. Volume issues, where the default value for sound ranges outside what the iPhone should be capable of doing. So for example if the volume goes from 0% to 100%, my phone will be completely random and range from -50% to 150%.
How can it be less then 0% you might ask, when moving the slider mid way the volume is completely off and any lower doesn't make a difference, then I'll receive an email notification and BAM the volume goes up 300% and it's so loud it feels like the speaker is going to explode. This problem happens at any time but mostly after or while using headphones or car bluetooth.
Example of my issue in action, I'll plug AUX in the car into the phone, play music, driving along, randomly goes to half volume. I'll turn up the stereo to compensate, one minute later I'll get an email and the volume resumes to normal operating volume and I almost sh** my pants in fright.
Another example is I'll be watching a video late at night before bed on youtube or something with the volume all the way down, then the next morning my phone alarm will not sound or it will but insanely softly. The work around for this is to play music right before locking my phone with the volume up all the way. Just move the volume up all the way, play > pause and there you have it, volume working agian.
And one last example, randomly it goes really really loud. Like how is this possible loud. I'll dial a number and when pressing the buttons instead of a beep beep beep. I get fog horn BEEEEEEP BEEEEP BEEEEP. But as soon as the call starts the volume sets itself back to normal. Kind of like how when playing music without head phones with volume on max sets it back to normal.
Things you should note:
Ringer volume has been locked to maximum, but quite often won't abide by this rule.
I've reset the phone and setup as new iPhone, problem still occurs.
Please don't give a solution like, "Have you checked your sound volume in settings". I'm not stupid.
Also, please don't give a solution unless you understand the difference between "Notification and Tone Volume" and "Media Volume".
Other then that. Please help, this is driving me mental.

I recently did the last firmware upgrade for my ipod nano 5th gen and can't set the maximim limit.
It can be set, but wont stick and I can still go above the limit.
Did something break with the firmware upgrade.

Commercials Still TOO Loud

On December 13, 2012, the The Commercial Advertisement Loudness Mitigation Act became fully implemented and television stations and cable providers are required to keep the volume of commercials at a level consistent with programming. I have not noticed any change in the volume of the commercials over regular programming. I still have to either mute the commercials or lower the volume until the TV program I am watching returns and then I have to turn the volume back up so I can hear the dialogue.
If you still have to turn down the volume when commercials come on, take action. CALM gives stations and providers a bit of leeway in handling complaints. According to the new standards, one phone call or email isn't enough to warrant an investigation, although patterns of them will demand review. Failure to meet these new modulation standards could result in fines.
The FCC is soliciting viewer auditing during the transition. To report loud commercials, call 888-225-5322 with information such as time and date of the commercial, description of the ad, plus station or network.
Information also can be mailed to the Federal Communications Commission, Consumer & Government Complaints Division, 445 12th Street SW, Washington, DC 20554.
Complain to Verizon and contact the FCC.

Max volume still too low...

After replacing the hard and reinstalling OSX the volume setting is too low. With volume turned all the way up it produces about half the sound of another identical computer playing identical music.
Ballance is centered and all volume bars are in their full to the right position.
Is there any way to increase the system volume beyond the OS max or reset the volume base?

Maybe one of the speakers is blwon up. Either that or a drive has gone corrupt in which case maybe you should do and archive and install re-installation of the OS.

VOLUME'S TOO LOUD!

Does anyone know how to change the volume limit on this. Also whenever I raise the volume, I can hear the music playing out fo the iPod. Is there any way to turn this off?!

solution for adjusting volume!!! (well, in my case anyway)
http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20091028063703AAK1zQs This is the link where I found the solution. There may be more help on that site with other problems as well.
Anyway, duhhhhhh, in my case the earphone jack simply wasn't pushed in all the way. I had noticed a small gap after I'd pushed it in, but it takes just a little more force to push it in all the way than one would intuitively exert with such a tiny device.
