Radio remote low volume

I've noticed when earphones are connected to the radio remote the volume is lower than when connected to the jack on the top. I heard it was supposed to be the opposite, if there had to be a difference at all, since the dock output is meant to have more sound quality. Can it have something to do with volume limit settings?
Also, my 5thG 60G ipod is uncapped by gopod. Can the remote act as a capping system and so decrease the volume again when connected?
Thanks

Don't know why I didn't try that
All better now, thanks

  • Low volume in dock

    I got my ipod in an universal dock, wich is connected to both my computer and stereo. It always worked very well but suddenly the volume dropped alot and when I put my stereo on the highest volume it's still very quiet. Anyone has/had the same problem or knows how to fix this?

    I also have the same problem when i use the radio remote plugged into the dock connector. The volume is so low even after I have run the iPodVolumeBooster app. Hooked to the remote I have a pair of Sennheiser PXC 250 with the noise reduction circuitry. When I plug the headphones to the jack on top of iPod the sound volume is vastly superior. I also notice this when I use my Grado SR 80 in the jack when I am at the office. I have boosted the volume 100% on several albums in iTunes in addition to boosting the volume with iPodVolumeBooster.
    Is there something I am doing wrong?

  • New in-ear headphone NOT COMPATIBLE with RADIO remote!!!

    I bought some days ago on the apple store the new in-ear headphone but it seems that are not compatible with radio remote control.
    Infact if I connect them, the volume is very very very low. The volume is correct only if I take out just a bit the jack from the radio remote or if the central button of the "in-ear headphone" is hold down pressed.
    Do you know something about this problem? Because these headphones are NOT very cheap and nothing is indicated on the apple store.
    Thanks!!!

    According to the description, it is supposed to work as normal earbuds when connected to older iPod models. So it seems like it should work that way with a Radio Remote. You said it works properly if it is not pushed in all the way? Maybe the one you have has a minor defect. If you bought it online, you may want to call the customer service number at shown at the upper left corner of the online Apple Store web page and see what they can do about it.

  • Radio Remote Not Working As It Should

    tonight i bought a radio remote so I can listen to the radio. i plug it in, it works. however when i go to change the channel, it wont change. the volume can be turned up and down from both the ipod itself and the remote. also the radio can be turned on/off by both the ipod and the remote. any ideas? any help? thanks.

  • Fix low volume output on Sky HD Boxes

    Here a suggestion for you. Why dont you fix the low volume out on the Sky HD boxes? Loads of people have complained about it. Do something about it.

    I have finally found a very cost effective solution to this problem.  Cancelled Sky subscription and got Freesat with a Humax box.  This does not have the fault that the Sky HD boxes have.  In fact it has an "on the remote" volume control, and when this is turned to max the volume is exactly as it should be.  The volume control works both the HDMI and the analogue outputs.  Additionally there is also a mute button on the remote, again muting both outputs.  Perfect.  Cost effective because since I have been a Sky subscriber for over a decade, now cancelled, assuming I would have stayed with them for another decade I have saved myself £4121 including the initial cost of the Freesat box.  Quite a shocking amount of money that I will be saving, having calculated it.  Shame on Sky for not correcting this software issue when it was first reported by many users, especially as the volume function used to be there and they removed it.  For those thinking of doing the same as me, the Freesat / Freetime system is excellent, the EPG is as good as Sky and the "roll back" TV aspect of the EPG far superior to that of Sky.  Picture quality is at least as good (probably better as box is Full HD)  The BBC iplayer implementation is also not the "cut down" version thst Sky have also implemented (another software short cut that bugged me), i.e. it is the same as you'd see on your PC / smart TVs with FULL programme content.  What you don't get is Sky Atlantic but since I never watched this in over a decade made no difference to me.

  • Radio remote destroyed my Apple Ear Buds

    Hi
    I was using my apple ear buds for 4 months now, all he sudden after i got the radio remote, the left ear bud's volume dropped by 2 db, that is allot, not to mention bass frequencies out of phase now.
    I can say from 16 years of recording records that the ear buds have been damaged, and i can not see how it was due to excessive volume but something with the remote, or maybe just was a matter of time due to the quality of the materials.
    My ear buds, i have ONE question, will apple replace them of they have not a scratch?
    http://store.apple.com/Catalog/US/Images/lmaltviewm9394ga.jpg

    Apple will replace them if they are still under
    warranty.
    http://depot.info.apple.com/ipod/
    This is the iPod warranty, not the ear buds.
    I wonder how i will have to go about this.

  • How do i get my ipod radio/remote replaced?

    I bought my ipod radio/remote back in October and its suddenly stopped working. It is detected by the ipod (classic) as it brings up the radio option on the menu and also the volume up and down controls still work. However none of the other controls work at all.
    Ive plugged it into my old ipod (video) that my girlfriend uses and it has exactly the same problem.
    According to my receipt from the apple store its guaranteed until October 08 so do i need to take it back to the store or can i just get another one directly to me by apple?

    You can either take it back to the Apple Store (make a Genius Bar appointment on your computer the day you decide to go: it is a little busy at all of them right now) or go here: http://www.apple.com/support/oss/

  • Question about the "iPod radio remote"

    I assume the "radio remote" is the same for every country and is under software control. I want to buy in Canada but use in UK and Canada.
    Has anyone got one and seen the RDS work, in the UK almost every FM channel is RDS. Do they have RDS in Canada (Toronto) can anyone confirm?
    And of course it says FM so this again I assume no AM, not that I need AM it was just an interest in if it could do it.
    What happens about headphones, you can plug a pair into the remote, can you still plug into the bottom of the iPod or does the remote connector get in the way.
    What is the story with "line out" I use this all the time as I amp my headphones. So I assume you cant use line out? or is the remote a line out also.
    And I assume the remote cable and you headphones act as the aerial, how is the quality? Is it any good indoors, some little FM radios I have used drop to mono indoors. Does this Apple one frop to mono if the signal is weak?
    Someone that has one can perhaps answer
    Cheers
    Ray

    I can at least answer some of the questions.
    The RDS function on this radio/remote is poor in the
    UK. You have to set the radio function on the iPod
    to "Europe" and when you do this RDS info is not
    displayed on almost all radio stations such as
    Virgin, XFM, Capital, GLR, etc. It does display on
    Radio 2 however. At least, this is my finding. So
    it's unpredictable at best. Setting the radio to
    "USA" on the iPod increases the likelihood of getting
    the RDS to display, but the downside is that you can
    then only tune the radio in increments of 2mhz which
    is a bit awkward if your looking for 89.1mhz!
    There are three settings for the radio which you
    choose via the iPod. They are USA/Europe/Japan. No
    setting for Canada, although I'm sure you will still
    be able to use it over there as I can still use mine
    here in the UK even if it's set to USA.
    No, there is no AM radio.
    You can plug headphones into the remote or the
    headphone jack on the iPod, or both at the same time.
    I'm not sure I understand your question about the
    bottom of the iPod. The radio plugs into the iPod
    via the dock connector.
    There is no 'line out' on the iPod. If you mean the
    one on the dock, then no you can't use it as you
    cannot place the iPod into the dock whilst the
    radio/remote is connected as they use the same
    connector.
    Yes the cable of the remote acts as the aerial.
    Reception is surprisingly good where I am, but it
    will of course depend on where you use it. I've
    used it indoors without any drop in signal or it
    dropping to mono.
    Lastly, you need to update the software for both the
    nano or the 5th generation for the radio to work
    (after you do this a radio function appears in the
    menu), and some users have found that doing this
    screws up the iPod. I have mine working on both the
    nano and the 5th gen without any problems.
    There is a review of the radio/remote here. I like
    mine and consider it a worthwhile accessory, but of
    course there will be those who disagree.
    iPod
    Radio/Remote Review.
    Thank you for the reply.
    Think your right USA or Europe will work in Canada.
    Yes I mean the line out via the dock, I just wondered if the remote become a line out socket (I also use a pocket dock for line out for headphone amp as I use a pair of Sennheiser HD600 with my ipod) but of course that is silly becasue you have a volume control on the remote and line out is normaly fixed.
    Based on your views I shall get one in March when in Toronto

  • 6233 low volume alarm tone

    I'm facing a problem with low volume of the alarm tone. In fact it is not reliable enough for waking me up !
    I know the alarm tone is ascending by default, but when it reach its highest level it is a bit lower than a ringing tone for incoming calls for example. That's mean it is very tender and hardly could be heard on a noisy streat and what about waking me up in the morning.
    Please let me know if it is possible to turn off the ascending mode of the alarm tone. There is such an option for the ringing tone of incoming calls, but not for the alarm alert. However, the ascending mode is not the problem, but the low volume of the alarm tone at all.
    Share your opinions and experience. Thanks in advance to all 6233 users.

    it is not possible to change the ascending feature on the alarm tone. what you can do is select another tone apart from the default tones. i use one of the defaults, can't recall which one it is, but its the loudest and it wakes me up on a morning. or you can try using radio or a full length song.
    everything happens for a reason

  • Is there a bluetooth adaptor for an old iPod classic (160 GB) that also works like a radio remote?

    Is there a bluetooth adapter for an old iPod classic (160 GB) that also works like a radio remote?  I have a bluetooth headset and I want to listen to FM radio on my iPod.
    Or is there a better way than to use an adapter in order to listen to  the radio on an iPod with a bluetooth headset?
    TIA!

    Have you updated your iPod and iTunes sofware?
    most cases, iTunes can play these high quality songs, which is meant for newer mobile devices like  iPhones, iPod Touch, nano and iPad, which the older iPod cant play, but only playable with iPod classic sofware version 2.0.4
    most likely it is an incompatible song format, read this Apple support article.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1334?viewlocale=en_USet
    If  your iPod software is version 1.1.2, then you have to use lower quality format.
    Can you select the problematic song, and Advance -> create iPod version

  • Lower volume level on Auxiliary that Airtunes is playing thru

    Anyone got any advice here? I have airtunes working on my Bose stereo from both computers in my house. When I play it, however, it is at a noticeably lower volume level than that of the CD or even FM radio. Volume on iTunes is at the max.
    Any help is much appreciated.
    Thanks
    Chris

    Which input are you using on the Bose stereo? You should be using a line level input (for example "Tape In"). A phonograph input expects a much different signal and won't work properly.

  • IPhone 3G v 3.0 very low volume in BMW

    I've had my iPhone 3G successfully connected via BT to my 2007 BMW 530xi. Everything worked fine for over six months, but after I upgraded to version 3.0, the volume of an incoming call is significantly lower than prior to upgrading to 3.0. I have the car radio volume turned up as high as it goes. Anyone else notice the same problem.

    While you are on a call on Bluetooth®, press the "up" volume button on the side of the iPhone. "Bluetooth Volume" will pop up on the iPhone screen, and you can increase it to max, which should solve your low volume problem.

  • 5th gen and radio remote sync error

    I've had this ipod since 2006,Since April 2009 I have been using the radio remote to replace the fact that the earphone dock was damaged in December of 2008.
    Yesterday I plugged in my i-pod to add more songs and first a firmware error appeared which lasted about 5 minutes and went away after a while but then when I went to plug up the radio and the headphones; the radio remote takes control of the volume even when it is disabled. No matter how many time I plug and unplug it's as if the radio will auto turn my ipod on; control the volume setting and start a song.
    Can this be fixed manually or will I have to get a new ipod? :[

    yes, you can, i've used the radio remote (model MA070G/A) with my 2nd gen nano
    but i don't use it any more, because i got one of these...
    http://www.blueye.co.uk/
    http://www.gear4store.com/productdetails.php?&productsid=237
    it costs a bit more than the radio remote, but...
    turns your ipod into a bluetooth hands-free for your mobile phone, when the phone rings the ipod is paused and you push the button on the remote to take the call via your earphones (the microphone is in the remote)
    seems to give better fm reception than the apple remote (finds more stations), no rds though and the tuning isn't as slick as apple's
    has its own amplifier so you can get a useful volume boost on an eu volume-limited ipod
