Maximum Volume Control - Padlocked!!!

Hi ipod guys
Can anyone tell me how to unlock the maximum volume control - seems that a combination has been set, but I don't know what it is, so can't adjust the volume control. Is there a way to re-set it to 0000? I've looked all through discussions and support, but can't find a topic relating to this. HELP PLZ.

Your answer is here. Scroll down the page.

[Android] (Maximum) Volume control per device

One feature I would be very happy with is if it were possible (Android app) to set the maximum volume automatically when connected to an external speakerset. Also the max volume warning is useless when the volume is controlled by the external set. I really love to listen to spotify in my car. I already use an external program to start spotify and set it to max volume when connected to my car multimedia system. However it keeps volume at max (which I have to accept every time it starts spotify). So sometimes I am surprised (as are all my other colleages) by the max volme output of my phones speaker.....

Updated: 2015-08-07Marked as new idea.

I'm a bit hard of hearing, and I can't get Firefox to boost the volume adequately, even though I have set all volume controls to maximum. Please fix.

I can't get the volume loud enough, despite setting all controls for maximum volume.
I'm using Windows XP, and a high-end computer/monitor/speaker. I'm using Firefox 4.0.1
I figure you guys are all young, and your hearing is still good, so you don't understand us older folks.

Got the same problem. It seems it is happening all over the place with the i-tunes update.

Satellite L300-147- Manual volume control not working

The manual volume control on the laptop is no longer working. If I try to adjust the volume (on the right the headphone plug-ins)- I just keep scrolling. As a result, I can only watch DVD on a really low volume level. I have adjusted volume control under "control panel" to the maximum level.
Any ideas to fix this please?

Hello
> The scroll for volume control on the laptop keeps scrolling on empty (it can't reach the end)
Believe me buddy, this is absolutely normal.
I have Satellite L300 too and I can still scroll the volume control although the sound is on lowest level (I can see this in Windows sound properties).
To be honest I didnt have any notebook as yet where the volume control ends on a certain point.

Volume Control on Satellite Pro A200 with Ubunutu 7.10

I have a Satellite Pro A200GE-1F9 which I have recently made dual boot with Vista and Ubuntu 7.10. This is the first time I have used Linux and most things are going well so far.
However, the volume control (a scroll wheel on the front of the laptop) is not controlling the volume correctly with Ubuntu, instead of increasing the volume smoothly as with Vista it increases in jumps of an 1/8th of maximum volume, the on-screen volume control is still smooth. I believe this is at least partly due to the change from a hardware volume wheel, as with all the past Toshiba's I have used, to a software based version. This controls the system volume and turns continuously, not stopping at the minimum or maximum volumes.
Does anyone know of a way to change this jumping volume change to a smooth one?
Thanks for any help

Hi there,
since no one here has any clue nor drivers nor any information about the driver support from toshiba, no one will be able to give you some useful information.
Did you already googled and checked the ubuntu forums? I think that will bring you nearer to the source instead of here.
So just begin asking in the ubuntu forums because I think that someone is out there which perhaps has the same problem like you.
Hopefully hes some kind of programmer. ;)

My iPhone is mixing up the two volume controls

Hello,
I have an iPhone 3G, and recently it started to mix up the two volume controls for ringtone and sound effects very often when I launch an application, especially for games. Normally when I launch an app like a game, the volume control would automatically switch to the one that controls sound effects as soon as the game is finished loading, and it is that one that controls the game sound effects/music; however, now lots of my games use the ringtone volume instead, resulting in sudden and extremely loud sounds (since I always keep ringtone volume to maximum) that are not controllable even if I adjust the ringtone bar, forcing me to mute the iPhone altogether. Does anyone know what's wrong and how to fix this? Restarting did not work.

No one ever had this problem before or know how to fix it? o.x

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,

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?

Creating a Volume Control Bar for multiple audio files

I'm fairly new to Flash and am developing a project with a
series of frames that contain unique movie clips. Each of these
frames are accessible through a chapter based menu as well as being
viewable straight through as a regular movie. I've just added the
audio for each "chapter" / frame that are all unique from one
another. I'm having a problem with creating a volume control bar
that will affect all audio throughout all frames from the single
control bar on the general skin/interface that these chapters work
out of. (Using Flash 8)
I developed a sliding control bar, which works but does not
affect the volume in any way. Is there something wrong with the
following coding that I'm using? (The control bar is made up of a
button nested in a movie clip and the action is being applied to
the mc. The bar/line to follow is 60px long and the control is to
move horizontally while the increase corresponds to increase in
volume. The original code was for a 100px line from a macromedia
tutorial that I adjusted to be 60px) Any advice on best practice
for creating a volume control bar would be greatly appreciated! (I
currently have all of my corresponding audio files on separate
layers, should I be placing these within a mc rather than just
having them on the main timeline?) Thank You!!!!

Answering my own question.....
Each individual swf has the code...
var my_sound:Sound = new Sound();
my_sound.loadSound("someSound.mp3", true);
my_sound.setVolume(50);
Code on Shell/main slide....
//SOUND OBJECT
var soundtrack:Sound = new Sound;
soundtrack.setVolume(50);
//END OF SOUND OBJECT
//GLOBAL VOLUME CONTROL
var nVolCheck:Number;
volSlider.volBall.onPress = function():Void {
this.startDrag (false, 0, 0, 75, 0);
nVolCheck = setInterval(updateVolume, 150);
volSlider.volBall.onRelease = function():Void {
this.stopDrag ();
clearInterval(nVolCheck);
function updateVolume():Void {
var vol:Number = (volSlider.volBall._x)*2;
soundtrack.setVolume(vol);
//END OF GLOBAL VOLUME CONTROL
my bar is 75 pixels in width and the volume is being
increased by 1.5 at its maximum.

Flash Player audio setting in Win'7 Volume Control

OS is Win'7, up to date. Flash Player is 11.4. Browsers Firefox 15.0.1, Chrome 22, IE 9. When playing a video on a website, the Flash Player volume setting in Volume Control (Windows Mixer) is set to the maximum, same as my speaker volume. How can I permanently set Flash Player's volume to a setting lower than that of my speakers?

This is a known issue in Firefox and Flash Player 11.3 or higher, but our testing (and I just personally re-tested it on my Win7 machine to double-check) indicates that this works as expected in Chrome and Internet Explorer.
There's a public bug tracking the Firefox issue here, and we have a corresponding internal bug assigned to an engineer for investigation:
https://bugbase.adobe.com/#bug=3210602
1.) Use Chrome or Internet Explorer with the latest Flash Player from http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer
2.) Revert to the most recent version of Flash Player 10.3 (Currently 10.3.183.25), which you can download here:
     http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/archived-flash-player-versions.html
     Before reverting, you'll need to uninstall the current version of Flash Player first:
     http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/uninstall-flash-player-windows.html
If you *are* having the same problems with Chrome or MSIE, can you give me a clear, step-by-step description of how to reproduce the issue? It's possible that we're doing something differently, or there's another component like audio drivers in-play.
Thanks!

TS1630 Hi I have a problem with my iPhone 4S, I have no sound from my speaker ,keyboard or notifications , and my volume control buttons are not working is anyone experiencing this? Any help would be great full, also I have reset the iPhone many times.

Hi I have a problem with my iPhone 4S I have no sound from my speaker , keyboard, notifications. or volume controls, I have reset my iphone many times and still the same, any advise will be greatful
Thanks

I don't think that a software update from Apple will solve the issues that you are having. You have a rogue installation. After you posted I have just done the following:
Disk Utility can verify my partitioned Volume (including my boot disk) AND REPAIR the non-boot disks on the same Volume without a glitch. It repairs the non-boot disks containing data smoothly.
I have used Mail to send some mails from some Yahoo and Hotmail accounts to my Thunderbird client containing GMail accounts - absolutely normal.
I have iLife '09 but my iMovie '09 and iPhoto '09 open in a jiffy and I see no issues here. I have 6GB RAM (Maximum) on an early 2008 Macbook Pro with a 750GB hard drive partitioned with 120GB reserved for the Boot Drive.
I am sorry that I cannot help further but I am sure there must be a way to reinstall the software without having to revert to restoring your ML backup. I have two clones and if you have such I would attempt to do that through that rather than through Time Machine - that is of course if you have a cloned drive.
Good luck!

Headphone Jack and volume control

I have very sensitive headphones and the volume control on the MBP is a bit squirrelly: I plug in the headphones, use Fn+f11 to change the volume to my usual setting (just one tick), go to iTunes to play some tunes and then the loudness is jacked up to the middle setting (which is the setting I use when I use the headphone as a line out hooked up to my stereo). Suffice it to say, my ears are a bit mad at me right now.
Is this a known issue, and how does one post a SW bug to get Apple Support? I tired looking for a file a bug, but I couldn't find it.

Why should I come to grips with this? My Windows 7 install on this very MacBook Pro handles volume just fine. I can have my speakers at 50%. Plug in my headphones. Still at 50%, but not deafening.
This is obviously either a) by design or b) a bug. I'll be submitting it to Apple as b.
Many people actually complain about a LACK of volume when using their Macs under windows, dallen33.
The headphone port on the Mac is a "dumb" port. It can't determine the impedance and efficiency of whatever you happen to be plugging into it at the time. If it was "intelligent" it would probably require Apple specific headphones, which would have everyone up in arms about trade restrictions and the like. If it was configured to provide a muted maximum output level suitable for headphones that produce the maximum possible volume then there would be thousands with lower efficiency headphones, including some with very high quality ones, complaining that the sound was too quiet (just as some do about the Windows output level) !
Surely this stuff is pretty easy for people to sort out for themselves. If you have headphones that produce a high output level then turn down the volume slider in iTunes right down before you stick 'em in your ears and then gradually adjust the volume upwards until it is at the level you would like!! If you do this you will find that the volume starts at zero even if the system setting is at maximum.
Alternatively, buy yourselves some high quality, lower efficiency headphones.

Need to generate a continuous sine signal to sound card output with volume control

I need to create a vi to generate a sine wave signal to sound card with Labview 8.5.
there is an example written with lvsound2.llb for it. but the volume control sucks. it has only 0~100 integer control and is not accurate enough for my application.
some one mentioned Contineous Sound Output.vi in Example search. But I could not find it any more in Labview 8.5.
Anyone could help? Appreciate it.

Could you please explain in greater detail what you mean by "the volume control sucks"? The volume control is a Double Precision Float data type not an Integer. By accuracy, do you mean that you are trying to get greater precision? If you mean that the example simply is not loud enough at the maximum volume, you can increase the amplitude of the sine wave. I hope that helps!

Front Row 1.2.1 No More Volume Control

Installed Front Row 1.2.1 on my iMac G5 iSight through Software Update, along with the other updates, and repaired permissions afterwards. The volume cannot be adjusted using the keyboard arrow keys or the Apple Remote. When + or - is pressed on the remote, the volume slider appears, but now the volume is on maximum, and cannot be adjusted. This is not limited to iTunes, it also occurred when playing QuickTime movies. The regular volume keys on the keyboard continue to adjust the main system volume, but we now lost the remote volume control. Hopefully there will be a fix soon.

Solved my own problem through troubleshooting. The HK SoundSticks were the problem. When I got the new iMac G5 iSight, they worked great. Somewhere along the lines, the HK's got confused and my sound preference pane said No settings for this output device.
Browing the discussion boards, this has been a known issue...but the cause is difficult to determine.
If I boot from my external FireWire, all is well. The internal iMac drive, problem. Something could have happened with the migration from my PowerBook to the iMac, or a system update caused trouble.
I tried the quick solution...changed USB ports. Problem solved. The balance control is back and Front Row can control the volume once again. Bizarre, isn't it?

I need small earbud earphones with a volume control for my IPod shuffle.

Can any of you tell me what company or companies make small earbud earphones with a volume control to use with my Ipod shuffle? The standard Apple earphones are too large for my ears and after about 30 minutes of use I have to take them off. I ordered some JLab small earbud earphones but now that they've arrived I realize they don't have a volume control.

Hey, I had the same problem when I first bought my Ipod. The issue is not with the Ipod its with iTunes, go to Preferences then Playback, change the volume on SOUND ENHANCER, I recommend the sound check but thats personal.
After you do that, connect your Ipod and go to settings uncheck maximum volume, and sync. I added memory for Ipod usage to make sure (decreases # of songs for ipod usage)
Good luck I hope this solves your problem it solved mine.

How to effectively increase my ipod's maximum volume level?

I've been following the instructions on the ipod's digital manual on how to set the maximum volume of my 5.5 generation video ipod, without luck. When I roll the click wheel, the volume raises, but after clicking the menu button, the volume returns to the previous setting. The ipod is set for no sound check. I'm not sure if itunes has the sound check option enabled. Right know, I'm controlling the volume of the tracks via itunes. But, I'll like to increase it a little more, and itunes maximum setting is not enough for when I'm playing the ipod through my stereo.

this should help
