Does the sony minisystem have its own volume control?
If so, it sounds to me like your computer is getting stuck thinking that the minisystem is still connected, which would be the cause of your issues. There is a switch inside the headphone jack that gets flipped when headphones are connected, and that switch might be getting stuck in the "on" position. You may have to take the computer in for service in order to get that straightened out.

No volume control for audio tag in Firefox 5

So this is the problem - after I installed Firefox 5, '''volume control''' for '''audio''' tag stopped showing when I move mouse pointer over the mute control. I have all other controls visible - pause/play and mute, but not the volume control.
This occurs only when I use audio tag. If I open pure .ogg or .oga file in FF5, everything is fine, but that's not usable for me since I need to have audio embedded in my web page.
Video tag is working well.
Is there anything I can do to fix this (without having to code volume control in JavaScript)?

K? No it's not perfectly normal. The software volume control should be done by the Window/Creative sound drivers BEFORE it is sent to the DDL/DTS encoder driver.
Today I found that I do now have limited volume control. However the Master/Device/Speakers volume still does not work, nor does the mute. However the individual applications in the win7 volume mixer work fine to control volume, but having to adjust these gets tidious.
I have no idea if this just suddlenly started working, I just missed it before, or if the webcam with its audio mic driver I just installed did something to it. But at least I do have some way to control volume now within windows. Now if only I can get the master slider to work. Anyone have any ideas? I found one other post on here where someone else was complaining about this very same problem with DDL.

Is there volume fade or volume control for audio?

Is there volume fade or volume control for audio? If for example you wanted to use an audio clip and adjust the volume.

You should be able to right click your audio and select Fade, followed by Fade In Audio or Fade Out Audio.
Please refer to my blog post on Fades

As mentioned I am strictly an Elements Windows user, so I am assuming that the Premiere Elements Windows and Mac
are the same on this feature.
Please let us know if you need clarification on the above.
Thank you.

Chromium takes over system volume control

Hi forum,
I'm using GNOME, ALSA (no PulseAudio or ESD), and Chromium on an i686 install. On my laptop (an Asus F3Jm), Master is a toggle control, and PCM is the slider that controls the system volume. The volume hotkeys on my laptop work correctly and control the PCM slider. However, when I open a Flash applet or an HTML5 video in Chromium, the PCM volume jumps to 100% and cannot be controlled by the hotkeys (not even muted); instead, the applet's volume control is the only way I have to control the volume. This is not an acceptable situation for me as some sites (for example Livestream) don't remember my volume setting and start off at 100% volume every time.
Well, sometimes. Once in a while it actually does work as expected (application volume controlled independent of system volume, and system volume can still be controlled via hotkeys), which is the part I find particularly confusing. I haven't figured out what the situations are where it does and doesn't take over the volume control.
(EDIT: It seems that it happens the first time, and only the first time, that I start Chromium after each system boot. So one "workaround" could be to never shut down or reboot...)
I don't believe the OSS emulation is being used, because I've unloaded and blacklisted the snd_*_oss modules and don't have alsa-oss installed. It's possible that Chromium is using the hw device instead of the default, but I don't know how to check for this or fix it. I don't have Firefox installed, but I suppose I could try it if someone thinks a comparison might be useful.
Package versions:
alsa-lib 1.0.22-1
chromium 4.0.249.78-3
flashplugin 10.0.42.34-1
<your requested package here>
Thanks in advance for your suggestions.

ALSA doesn't support per application volume control, which would explain the behavior. That behavior, however, is still incorrect, as normally applications respect the volume level and don't overwrite it without user intervention.
A simple solution would be to switch to (at least for me) more advanced OSSv4 or use pulse audio (which I personally dislike).
You should file a bug report for chromium (or check whether you got some settings wrong).

System Volume Control Doesn't Work

I have two output devices connected to my Mac Mini. I have a set of speakers connected to the jack on the back of the Mac, and a Logitech USB headset connected to a USB port.
When I use the Logitech headset as the audio output device, the volume buttons on my apple wireless keyboard and my apple remote work as the should do, changing the system volume as they are pressed. However, when I change the output device to the built-in output jack, the output volume doesn't change as the volume keys/buttons are pressed. When I press the volume keys/buttons, the little volume icon shows up on the screen and the white dots increase/decrease as you would expect, but the output volume doesn't actually change. You can change the volume using the mouse and the slider, but that defeats the object of having a remote control or dedicated volume buttons. If I switch the output back to the USB headset, everything works normal again. So its only when the built-in output is selected that the volume can't be controlled using the keys/buttons.
Any ideas?
Cheers
Rob

If you have not yet restored to factory defaults I would try that. Maybe there is some corruption which is now in your backup.

HT5922 Volume control Itunes Shared Library from Macbook air played through iPad

Hi everyone,
I am using iPad Air to airplay through use of iTunes shared library from Macbook, to Play to my Apple TV using the Remote App from apple on the iPad.
I noticed that the swipe up control screen volume control does not affect the volume on my speakers of the Denon which is perfectly connected with apple tv. The only thing which controls the volume is the Denon volume control.
The iTunes volume control on the Macbook also do not work with Apple TV when airplaying
I assume this is because of the Denon Reciever, but would like to hear if others who are connecting directly without a multimedia amplifier and speakers are also unable to raise volume using itunes control or not?
Thans in advance for any feedback given.

I think this may be a clue to the problem. When you purchased the MBA did you restore any of your personal data from a prior backup? In particular, did you restore any prior data in the Music folder?
Or, did you simply launch iTunes and enable iTunes Match?

FPS 1800 speaker system volume control

Volume Control I

My soundblaster Volume control icon on my task bar has disapeard. How do I get it back. Note am not talking about windows volume cotrol icon
Thank You
Johnny:angry:

Seems as if we have the same issue here.
Ever since installing Sound Blaster 6 Plug & Play in this INtralink PC (Pent-III W-98SE) my system volume control has simply vanished - from taskbar, start menu, settings - can't find it anywhere!
Installed every driver I could download; still no sound other that crackles when booting up, and no settings window to be found.
There was an IRQ conflict, but resolved that - to no avail.
When I try to open a sound file from RealPlayer or WMP i get the "Other device may be using" line - but can't find said device, even if it is competing for resources.
Tried the above solutions, but the reccomended settings just were not there to select.
Suppose I could do a clean re-install of W98, but there goes all my data, and don't really want to do that.
Is it time to buy a new sound card and start over?
Don't really want to dump much more $ into this old box - Domestic Management would rather just replace it. Would like to keep it as a backup tho.
Open to suggestion!

Inspire 6.1 6600 volume control

OS X 10.5.6: High RAM usage corrupts Audio Playback and Volume Control

Software Effected or Related:
iTunes 8.1, Quicktime 7.4, Adobe CS3
Description:
Basically any RAM intensive operation seems to corrupt the sound driver so that static is injected into the stream. In addition, volume control fails to function, with decrease of volume controls resulting in a louder more corrupted signal being sent to the speakers.
Attempted Fixes:
RAM swapped, no effect.
Permissions repaired, no effect.
PR Zapped, no effect.
Reinstalled OS, no effect.
Workaround:
It's in no way ideal, but once the corruption occurs, a reboot of the machine will restore function until the next RAM intensive operations causes the problem again. It's at best an annoying band aid.
Notes:
I'm not really expecting a solution, more as I want to find out if anyone else is having a similar issue to my own. If this system behavior sounds familiar, please reply and let me know about your system. This behavior only started for me when my company migrated to OS 10.5. A downgrade is not an option, due to software compatibility issues. Thanks for your attention.

I am having that exact same issue with my new MacBook Pro. I notice faint bursts of static like the audio is trying to break through and then it is lost all together. I trash my sound prefs (both Library/Preferences and ~/Library/Preferences and reboot which corrects it, but then it happens again within a few days (or hours)... what gives? What is corrupt and what file do I need to permanently replace? Do I need to call Apple about this on a new machine?

Using apple remote to control iTunes volume

This must have been covered before. I searched through 12 pages and couldn't find the answer. I simply want to be able to control the iTunes volume with my white apple remote. Presently it will only control system volume and I'm going out to a different device where system volume has no effect.
This is for Snow Leopard. Appreciate the help.

I too play iTunes to remote speakers (airplay express, apple TV, IOS devices running Speakers app.) The volume buttons on my Macbook Air control the laptop speakers but won't control the iTunes application volume when playing Airplay. Going to iTunes to click on a slider is frustrating when there are volume buttons on the laptop.
Another App solution is Airfoil from http://www.rogueamoeba.com/airfoil/mac/
There is a cost and I don't have a free Apple/Mac solution. But with Airfoil, you can link the volume bottons to Airplay volume. This is really a preference that iTunes should inherently provide. But with Airfoil, I can push any audio app (Pandora, Spotify, browser audio, and even iTunes) to any number of speakers both Airplay and computer. And Airfoil will link the volume buttons to the audio output on any of the speakers selected. I no longer use the Airplay option from within iTunes but use Airfoil to push iTunes whereever I want and properly control volume.
Hope this helps. Sorry it is a third party pay app as the solution when Apple could just incorporate this simple request.

Digital audio ouput - why no volume control??

This is a problem that has been around for a while (ie. pre-Leopard).
Why is there *no global volume control* when using digital audio output? This includes the inability to mute the output as well as adjust the volume with either the keyboard or the apple remote.
It is *particularly annoying* with Leopard's Front Row as music is not being played via iTunes anymore so I can't use the iTunes volume control...
Please fix this Apple, it can't be that hard. There is no logical reason for disabling volume control for digital outpu!
Thanks,
Paul Martin

It IS possible, actually and its omission makes no sense.
Yes, it is possible but it isn't desirable. Here's why:
For any linear digital audio encoding process, the bit depth determines the resolution of the volume levels the format can reproduce. For example, for 16 bit audio there are 65536 possible volume levels between dead silent & the absolute maximum possible level (digital clipping). For 24 bit audio there are about 16.7 million levels.
So let's say that you want to turn down the volume at the digital output. The only way to do this is by throwing away all of those levels louder than the desired volume by scaling the output to what is effectively a lower bit depth. One half as loud means the most significant bit ("MSB") will never be a one; half that loud & the next MSB won't be used, & so on.
At first, this doesn't seem so bad but the problem is the human ear doesn't interpret "one half as loud" as you might think: hearing is logarithmic (which is why we usually use the logarithmic unit "dB" to measure it), so a sound that is 1/2 the intensity of maximum is only slightly quieter to the ear. Depending on the maximum level the digital input device can produce, it could easily be necessary to scale the digital output to one ten thousandth or less of the maximum output just to achieve a comfortable level, & to scale it much smaller still for background music levels.
So, for an effective volume control with a usable range from "very quiet" to "full tilt" you would really be going from "miserably inadequate resolution" to "high quality resolution."
If you want to hear just how miserable sounding the quiet settings would be, & you have any sound editing software that can change digital volume levels of samples, try this:
Select a short sample & reduce it by 40 dB. Save it & then renormalize that saved sample to full scale. Listen to the result & compare it to the original. Not too pleasant, is it?

ITunes disables my Windows sounds and takes away the volume control

I have searched and found no answer to this- others have posted this same question.
I installed itunes and it removed my volume control from the task bar. It disabled my Windows sounds and took away the volume control from the System Tray next to clock. My media buttons no longer affect the volume either. I have to go into control panel to change my system volume.
At first- it only happened when my daughter would plug in her iPod and use iTunes, and then after we'd reboot the computer, the volume control would come back and no longer be disabled. Each time she used iTunes, it would happen again. Then a computer restart would bring it back. Now all of a sudden, nothing brings it back. I have to go about 4-5 screens deep into Control Panel to adjust the volume there. This is ridiculous and an absolutely unacceptable side effect of iTunes.
Does someone have an answer or do we need to delete iTunes and never again buy a crappy apple product?

Figured it out!
Go to Control Panel -> Sound
In the “Playback” tab, click on your Speakers to highlight it, then click Properties. In the “Advanced” tab, under “Exclusive Mode”, uncheck the box that says “Allow applications to take exclusive control of this device”. I restarted my computer after that, but I am not sure if you need to.
Then you can go to your taskbar and right-click and choose “Properties”. In the “Notification Area” tab, under System icons, “Volume” is no longer grayed out and you can now check the box to make it show up down near your clock again.

Airport or iTunes Updates Neutered iTune Volume Control ?

Not sure exactly which update did it, but, somewhere along the way when I updated to iTunes 7, the latest AirPort Update 2006-001, and Security Update 2006-005, the volume control in iTunes quit functioning. It used to work with streaming radio audio to my home stereo system. It doesn't appear to function at all. Introduced bug ?

Have you tried unplugging the Airport Express, if that does not work try resetting it

When I mute system volume, why doesn't iTunes mute too?

Currently my iTunes plays through AirTunes on an Airport Express.
I'd like the F3, F4, and F5 keys to control iTunes volume. As it is, when I hit F3 (mute), it mutes system sounds but does nothing for iTunes volume - it keeps playing. That's annoying when I have a phone call and want to quickly mute everything. I also can't change the volume with F4 and F5. I have to switch to iTunes and manually drag the slider.
I'm pretty sure the F-keys used to work with my system volume, but somehow now they don't.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

I would try playing the music through the built in speakers and see if the problem is still there. Both the built in speakers and the headset jack are both controlled by the system volume. My desk top unit plays the audio through the USB port to my speakers and it is muted by the master mute control. Using WiFi may have totally different results.
