Random volume turning down

The ringer volume randomly turn down and i have no audio on calls and the display said i have headphone plugged in when i do not.

There might be dirt under the rocker switch for the volume control. There are schematics online for the iPad that will show you how to take it apart if needed. Or you could use a fine toothbrush to try and clean under it.

My iphone volume turns down randomly own its own. It will turn up on the buttons, but will turn back down by itself and i have to fight the volume to keep it from muting. Plus, the mute logo stays on the screen when it mutes itself. Please help.

Unfortunately this is probably a hardware issue and you will need to take it to an Apple Store.

Creative Audigy 2 and Windows Vista: Sound volume turns down when I try to turn it

I have a strange problem with my audio in Vista. I have a Creative Audigy 2 and Creative 6700 speakers. My full system specification is below but please note I did not have this issue in my previous Vista build - its only happening since I did a reinstall. Anyway, when I swich on the speakers using the remote control unit for the 6700 speakers the sound comes on but then it turns down. I have to then increase the volume by a large amount for it to start playing sound again and then turn it down to listening volume. This issue is not application specific - it happens in everything: Winamp, WMP, games, etc etc?I'm using [color="#000000"]Creative Sound Blaster Audigy series Vista Driver 2.2.0002 and I've tried reinstall several times. I've tried doing diagnostic startup etc using msconfig in case something was conflicting and its still happening.

Have you checked the volume button? It might be physically stuck. To determine whether a hardware repair is needed, you need to follow these steps:
1. Try doing a hard reset:
Press and hold both the Home button and the Sleep/wake button simultaneously for about 15 seconds and release when the Apple logo appears.
After that: test the device to see whether the issue is solved.
2. If the issue is not solved, you should backup the device and restore it as new.
In that case, use: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137
NB: set up as a NEW device because a software issue will be in the backup.
If the issue persists after restoring as new, you should offer the device for service.
If you get specific error messages/codes in iTunes when updating/restoring, check this: http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3694 for causes and solutions
Good luck

Podcasts volume turned down...

I've uploaded several podcasts- they download fine to iTunes and appear to work- but when you try to watch/listen to them on the .mac page, the volume in the quicktime controls is turned all the way down. I spent a lot of time playing with my speakers before I realized that the volume control ON THE QT controls was there and it was turned all the way down. Turn it up, and all is well. Why would all of our podcasts be turned down? Is the a setting in iweb/.mac to turn them up globally? thanks

When you add the video to your podcast page (in iweb), you see the same controller bar with the little speaker on the left (it's QT volume control); you can set the volume there too.

Basics from the User Guide are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as NEW. Unless you've tried ALL of these, you're not done troubleshooting.

Volume turns down on its own

Hi,
I have a weird problem with my wife's iMac Dual Core.
The volume has started turning itself down to zero after a short while of use, leaving the Speaker < ))) indicator display on screen, but with no volume indicated.
If I use the menu bar volume at the top right to increase it, it immediately decreases back to zero.
If I do a reboot and go back in again, it seem to fix for a short time, but. the decreases down again.
I suspect its something to do with the keyboard Vol down button bring stuck in some way on the (wireless) UK Keyboard we use, but the Keyboard Viewer does not show these keys so cant tell its its being "pressed"... Another reason for suspecting its a "stuck" key is that it does it in a click-click-click tempo (decreasing) similar if not identical to the keyboard repeat interval.
The weirdest bit is that the volume keys and controls work normally after reboot... for a short while...
No other keys appear to be affected, and the rest of the system appears to be working fine.
Thanks in advance for any guidance...
Martin

Greetings from Mexico!
So glad to run into your post as I have a similar problem: the volume up key appears to be randomly stuck, such that every now and then, on its own, it will go all the way up to the highest setting and remain there. The gray volume indicator persists on my screen, and the only way to make it disappear is to reboot the computer.
I attempted your solution and the problem seemed to go away and now it's back. Since the file you mentioned is gone...
com.apple.soundpref.plist
... I don't know where else to tinker.
Curiously, if I disconnect my USB keyboard, the problem goes away, but it manifests itself so randomly I seriously doubt it's a hardware problem.
Left to try is borrowing a keyboard from office and replacing it, but I hope somebody on this forum has a good answer.

Why does sound volume turn down to zero automatically

I just upgraded to IOS5. I set my sound volume to high in settings, but I notice that it does not ring soon after that. When I look at the settings again, the speaker volume setting has moved completely to the left (low). Is anyone else having this problem.

Yes, I have seen this problem. Sometimes it happens, sometimes it does not.

Why does the iphone volume randomly gets turned off/down.

Around 4-5 times a day I have noticed that the volume on my iPhone has been turned all the way down. Anyone have any suggestions what is doing it?

well i just did two test videos.
just like a while ago when I first encountered this issue.
take a video with the volume buttons up = upside down when played in VLC
take a video with the volume buttons down = normal.
such a shame when they released the feature to use the volume button as a shutter button.
this wouldn't be such a big deal if I could upload 1080p to YouTube from my phone. But NOOOO, but I have to first upload it to my computer, then upload it to YouTube, and thats where the problem comes to play.
so whatever. ill just have to remember to take videos with the volume buttons down.

Inspire s2 wireless turns down the volume by itself.

Hey. I bought my Inspire about a year ago and it worked fine.
Then suddenly when i connected it to my laptop it turns the volume down. I can turn it up again but it just keeps muting.
First i thought it was my laptop settings and i'm not a geniuos with computers.
But then i connected the speakers with my iPod touch and it still turns down the volume totally random. It does it approx every 5 minutes.
Can anyone tell what the devil the matter is?
(Sorry for my english, i'm danish :P )?

Hi,
Sorry but this doesn't sound right, I suppose something's wrong with the speakers. You might want to contact Customer Support for assistance.

Do you have any ideas on how I may resume my TV volume to full capability after disconnecting the HDMI cable and Macbook Pro to watch DVD's somehow my tv volume got turned down and I can't get it to restore fully. Any constructive ideas?

I used the HDMI cable from my Macbook Pro to my Panasonic TV to watch DVD's but I had no sound, so I used the community suggestion in going to system preferences>sound etc. followed the instructions and got great sound in fact very loud to my TV so I turned down the volume from my TV remote control. After watching the DVD's I disconnected the HDMI from my TV and realized for some reason my TV volume now is not returning to it's full volume even though I've tried to turn it to it's maximum. Any constructive assistance is truly appreciated. Thanks.

Hey, it's a simple fix that should give most people what they want until there is full VZW support: the ability to use their card with the VZAM software. I didn't see anyone else offering that suggestion... If you don't want to use it, you don't have to.
At the very least, this does seem to prove the theory that this is an issue with the 32/64bit compatability that some have refuted.

Turn down the volume of built-in speaker before playing music

So I was wondering if there was any way to turn down the volume of the built in speaker prior to playing music/video. I imagine that if I'm REALLY quick and pause the action, I can turn it down, but I'd rather not have to race against time.
The context for this, is the desire to show someone else video on the iPhone (say a National Geographic video podcast) without the audio blasting forth.
Any ideas?

So you're saying the phone doesn't remember the previous setting you had it at and jumps up or something...?
..or you want to hit play and have it not play so you can adjust the volume first...sorry can't help if that's the case. It kind of doesn't make sense from a UI perspective, when I press play or start a video I want it to play....different strokes for different folks tho

USB Mic Volume automatically turned down by OSX??

I have a Plantronics USB Headset that I use for skype and recording my podcast. It seems when I begin talking into the mic the volume is lowered automatically by OSX. I can even watch it get turned down when I have the input volume settings open in the System Preferences. It makes the input so low that I sound noticeably quieter then everyone talking to me through skype.
Any ideas on how to fix this?
Thanks,
Kevin

Hi.
I was having the same problem and was about to bump this question, but I might have just found the solution on the skype forums and I thought I'd mention it so we can both test it to confirm if it works.
Basically, you need to add something to a file. It's in Library/Application Support/Skype inside your home directory. It's called shared.xml. Near the bottom of the file, you'll find section called <VoiceEng>. You need to exit Skype and then add a line to that section, like so...
<VoiceEng>
  <AGC>0</AGC>
  <MicBoost>
Etc. I've only tested this by calling the Test Call number so I can't say for sure that it works. Maybe you can test it too.
I got this information from here...

Hope this helps.
