My volume control is messed up

I have a 2nd Generation iPod Touch that I got maybe a fews weeks before christmas of 2008. Today I was listening to music and suddenly the music turned up to full blast and it almost made me deaf since a was in a quiet room. So then I regained my conciousness and tried to turn the music down, but as soon as a pressed the volume lowering button, it would go right back up again. I held it down but it oonly decreased the volume by 1 section and immediatly it went up to full blast. So then I turned my iPod Touch all the way off and turned it back on. The volume was still at full blast sp I tried to lower it again and it worked! Then I tried to increase the volume, but it wouldn't go up.
I tried this many times and still, it seems like something is wrong with the volume INCREASING button.
Is this covered by the warrenty? If not, can I pay to get it fixed?
I worked my butt off for an iPod touch and it would suck if there is no way to get it fixed.
Thanks in advance

i have the same problem,
Just reset ur ipod touch and then wipe the screen over gently,
all it is, is that something either sticky or a fibre is on your screen and is controlling your screen, this is why when using the buttons on the side it happens to because ur screen is overriding the button,
Hope this helps

Apple TV messed up Macbook Pro, Keyboard volume controls won't work.

I can't get my Keyboard Volume controls to work on my macbook pro, Apple TV messed it up. This isn't an issue with disabling the remote control infrared receiver. When I want to turn my volume up or down, I have to go to system prefrences and change the volume that way. It's annoying and a big waste of time. Please help me before I throw this computer against the wall.
Thank You!!

I've got an extremely similar problem. Spillage on the keyboard. Unknown, what it was.
To start with it was dead, no power up.
Then it dried out. There was still a bit of battery power left, and the mouse and track pad worked for a few minutes then it all froze.
So I shut the lid. I left it like that, because I couldnt switch it off.
Much later, opened it up again and all windows opened up, all info was correct,
I was advised to try wireless mouse and keyboard, but you have to get in there before it freezes again.
The battery was charging normally as well.
I made the decision to let the battery die completely and then switch it on again, but sure enough when I did this, it ignored any re-boot command and that's that. Dead as a do-do.
So, without being a computer whizz kid, I presume, it's off to the Apple store for a sizeable bill.
Unless someone else has a cunning plan ????????
I would love to hear it !!!!!!

Why are my volume controls messed up?

Okay, so I recently took my MacBook into the apple store for some maintenance (I had liquid damage), they replaced the keyboard and the top case. Ever since then, my volume controls have been acting up, the volume, Bluetooth and iMessage icons at the top of the screen keep randomly going greyed out...I don't understand why this would be an issue but I'm wondering if this has happened to anyone else? Nothing has changed, I have the latest software and haven't downloaded anything weird or done anything that would affect this at all but I've never experienced this before with my computer.

You did not mention that the logic board was replaced. It may be that the liquid damage affected the logic board and the symptoms are now appearing. I suggest a trip to the Apple store genius bar for a free evaluation.
Ciao.

I need help with voice memo and volume control

I really dislike to update my iphone's software. I have Iphone 4S and I have been using voice memo to record lectures for sometime.
It was working well till updated my Iphone's software (IOS or whatever that is). Now I can't transfer my voice memo to my computer
and I have tried so many things people have suggested online which are 1. restart my mac book, 2. turn off and on my Iphone 3.
check voice memo when syncing my iphone with macbook. It is not working. Also, I totally messed my volume control. I went to
Genuis bar and the lady who helped told me that my Iphone has some issues before which is making my Iphone go nuts.
In short, 1. I cannot sync my voicemail
2. my volume does not work....i have to turn it on and off

Keyboard Volume Controls working erratically

Hi,
I'm experiencing a strange issue with the mac keyboard volume controls. I have the system set to output both sound and sound effects to some external speakers via the line-out (set in System Prefs). Whenever I reboot my MacPro, the volume control keys stop working with the line-out and revert to controlling the built-in speaker. However, iTunes etc still output via the line-out.
If I try and reset the values in the System preferences, OS X switches the outputs around, but stubbornly leaves the volume keys controlling the internal speaker. If I switch to another User ID, then eveything works fine.
The volume keys had been working fine with the line out and external speakers until this morning...nothing new installed! So i'm puzzled as to why the sudden change! The only thing that was done differently before the shudown was to run the daily/weekly/monthly jobs, but they shouldn't have messed anything up.
I've tried the following 'fixes' which I've found in the forums, but without any permanent success:
1) Check Software Update - all up to date.
2) Reset PRAM - no effect at all.
3) Reset SMC - no effect at all.
4) Hold down power button until power light flashes - no effect at all.
5) Verify permissions - no effect at all.
6) Deleting the ~/Library/preferences/com.apple.BezelServices.plist file then logging out/rebooting. This resolves the issue until I reboot the Mac..then back to square one again. When I check the non-working bezelservices.plist against the one for the working User ID, there is no difference.
Anyone got any ideas on how to resolve this irritating bug - it's almost as bad as having a windows PC back again ?
MacPro 3Ghz Mac OS X (10.4.9)

I've been using SoundSource for a while now because I was having similar problems:
http://www.rogueamoeba.com/freebies/
I often switch between internal speaker, line out and imic depending on the time of day and what I'm listening to/watching.
SoundSource doesn't completely fix the problem but it does make it easier for switching outputs. I've found that if the kb controls get stuck on one output, I just switch the output in SoundSource to something else and then back to the preferred one and everything works again. Only takes a few seconds...

T400 Volume too high. Volume control broken.

On Windows XP with Conexant Audio Driver 3.64.12.0 the volume control setting inside the SMARTaudio maps setting 10 to 1 or 2 for the windows volume control/OSD(i.e. quite loud), thus the volume set to bar 4-5 is already deafing.
Does anyone know how to fix this?

I've found no solution myself, having messing with all the settings. The static now audible because of this volume boost is just horrible as well!

Volume control in video chat?

is there serious no way to control the volume in a video chat?

Hi,
Why would you want to mess with volume control during a chat ?
You don't do it in a telephone call.
If you have a phone that can adjust the Volume you tweak it to suit the majority of people you talk to.
If a Buddy says you are too quiet it then System Preferences > Sound > Input is only two or three Clicks away (As would be iChat > Preference > Video Section if there was a Volume Control).

Is there anyway to disable "per application" volume control ?

Is there anyway to disable "per application" volume control !?
Keep it simple. You can leave per device existing, but per application is a big mess.
I need to spend a lot of time to found why am listening a sound if I decrease all my device volume.
I really hate it. It is not usefull for me, it just worsens my experience with Windows OS.
I always used Widnows, it was much better when this feature simply did not exist.

Hi,
It is by design, I’m afraid that there’s no way to change it.
You can right click the sound icon in the right-bottom corner, open volume mixer or volume control options to change the settings you want.

HT1551 Apple TV 3 Settings Menu, Volume Control "on" or "off".

In Apple TV3, Settings Menu, Sound - there's an option to turn Volume Control "on" or "off".
What is the functionality of this option, as I can't seem to adjust output volume neither by the standard remote control nor by the "Remote" App.
So what can I do if I turn the Volume Control option "on"?

This just happened to me. I however had a diagram flash up indicating I neede to connect a micro USB cord to the apple tv to my main iTunes computer. The system has to to be restored to it's orginal settings via computer. Problem is how many people have this cable? The one I had failed. Apple did a poor job with this.
I called support and they told me that though wireless works, any interuption in the signal will interupt the update. I did find an Energizer micro USB and this appears to have solved the problem, I have reconnected to my TV yet.
This is one thing Apple totally messed up. We keep hearing that Apple thinks TV can be better not with this issue it won't. They needed to be ahead of this and weren't

Windows Extra Volume Control update

Which update has the extra volume control sliders I beli've there is 7 your 8

I have had the same issues. I believe the volume bar is a conflict between hardware sound controls and windows 8 audio drivers. Previously I found the only way to disable the bar was to disable all sound. There was no program or service specific to the
bar, disabling all sounds service gets rid of it, but who wants a mute computer? The best solution I have come up with so far is to update sound drivers. For me I went to the Lenovo website because I have a Lenovo 540b all in one touch screen, and I downloaded
Realtek high definition audio drivers for windows 8 64 bit. After install I had sound and voila, the bar disappeared. It did come back again a few days later after testing the touch controls for sound. I reinstalled the driver and will simply stay away from
any built in sound control, and control the volume through desktop controls. I have spent countless hours with this problem, and I know there is very little information available on the web. Hopefully it will be brought to Microsoft's attention soon. I hope
this helps all of you. I know how frustrating this is because it also completely messed up all touch function. If I come across a better fix I will post. But for now I recommend going to your pc manufacturer's website and downloading the appropriate audio
driver updates. A refresh or clean windows install will not help. I tried both. I also tried disabling all services not necessary with a selective startup through msconfig as previously mentioned. None were successful. It is definitely a hardware and windows
driver incompatibility.

Alsa: I want "Volume Control" to control PCM instead of Master

As in the subject, I would like the volume control to modify the PCM volume instead of Master.
My multimedia keys work the same, so at the moment I have to manually change PCM from the audio preferences.

Well, I suppose I was kind of tight on information...
For volume control I mean either the volume control applet, either the multimedia keys.
Now, both of them control the Master Channel of the mixer, while the only one that changes something in the volume is the PCM channel.
I looked in amixer, and I see my configuration.
In AlsaMixer I can happily control the volume (still from PCM).
What I would like to know is where my keyboard is configured to change the "Master" channel in the alsamixer, so that I can change it to the PCM (or at least have the Volume Control Applet to do that.
It might be worth to note that I am using a dell d630 on a dock, and the sound card should be the digital one in the dock rather than the one in the laptop.
Usually in ubuntu I had to mess with the sound manager to obtain a volume control on the keys.
P.S.: you guys are FAST! Thanks for the help!

Unable to use volume control ipod itouch 5.1.1

hello,
itouch didn't have a problem with volume slider until recently. through other websites, i have since located the volume slider in music playing mode by double tapping the home button and scrolling to the left but it lacks any button to scroll to increase the volume. music plays well via a sound dock but that has it's own volume controls. sometimes when docking it plays through the handset speakers until seated correctly so i know the internal speakers do work.
any light on the matter would be very much appreciated!!!

I just got off the phone with a friend of mine who was having the same problem as you. Although you say the camera playback is set properly, please recheck this. go into your camera's playback menu>menu>standard set>VCR HDV/DV. Unplug your firewire from the camera. Make sure camera is set to HDV NOT auto. replace firewire cable. Now open FCP. Go in Audio/video settings>A/V devices (farthest tab on right). In box for playback edit to tape different from video output (make sure it's checked) mirrored (checked) Video playback 1080i50, Audio HDV. I hope that works now.
