Unable to control volume in headset

Since upgrading to Lion I cannot adjust the volume when I am using my headset. If I use the volume control on the headset the sound icon appears on my iMac display changes as well as the volume control on the menu bar, but the volume on my headset is still at maximum. Help! I use the headset for Skype and this is making in nearly unusable.

I wonder if the lack of response means that I am the only one with this problem.
I am using Logitech headset .. probably H390.

Unable to control volume on MacBook Pro?

Running OS X Mavericks (10.9.2) I am unable to change volume without restarting. Awhile later it happens again, the F10, F11, and F12 keys become non-responsive in controlling the volume.

Have you tried a PRAM reset?

10.4.9 - Keyboard unable to control volume

After installing the 10.4.9 update, my keyboard now is unable to control the volume of my machine. When I press the VOL UP, VOL DOWN, and MUTE keys - I do get the on-screen indication that these changes are being made, but the audio indicator by the clock does not change. And, more importantly, the audio levels do not change at all. HELP!

I'm having the same problem, my only diffrence is that I still use 10.4.8.
anyone know the solution?
thanks

Unable to Control Volume on Hp Touchsmart 610

Hello,
I just received my brand new custom HP Touchsmart 610 system. I've found that I am unable to lower the master volume at all. I have tried using the mouse to lower the volume on the sound mixer, the keyboard buttons and side monitor buttons.
Every time I lower the sound to say 50% it immediately slides back up to 100% automatically. It's as if a "Volume Up" button is perpetually being held down, but no button is stuck on the keyboard or monitor. I called HP and we did a full system restore but it did not resolve the issue, so they said to send it back. While waiting on a new computer, I figured I'd give the forum a shot.
Anyone have this problem?
And also,
Another question... The HP My Touch Volume control that auto opens on the desktop when I turn the computer on can not be taken off the desktop. The only way I was able to get rid of it was to end the My Touch process in task manager, but it seems like I should be able to disable that volume display on the desktop, and only open it when I want to adjust monitor settings...
Thanks so much for any help!

Hi to all that have volume control issues on the Touchscreen 610,
Here is my experience:
I received my replacement (long story) TouchSmart 610-1180qd Win 7 64 bit computer from HP on Friday 07/15/2011. Right out of the box the volume control registered 100% and returned to 100% despite attempts to control it via mouse clicks and keyboard control.
My initial thought was to check and update the IDT High Definition Audio CODEC device and driver. At first, I simply disabled this driver which effectively gave me back control. Of course this is an unacceptable solution because it should work right out of the box, right? Upon reenabling the driver, the problem returned. I updated the driver but the problem persisted.
Perplexed as I was, I discovered that if I manually set the volume control using the volume control located on the left side case , it would allow a setting less than 100% and stay at settings which I deemed comfortable. At least for a while...
This solution was short-lived because when I attempted to adjust the screen down to "tablet mode", the volume immediately shot back to 100%. You see, when I grasped the case on the sides (where we are told to handle in order to adjust into the tablet configuration, that is, semi-flat on the desk), apparently some contact is made where the volume control is given the order to increase (this is not me accidentally pushing the buttons with my hand). The volume will stay there until I manually change it back using the left side case volume controls.
OK. So now I think there is a defect in the case design that causes the volume control to migrate to 100%. Perhaps HP will fess up to their quality control issues and fix this?
If only that was all!
It seems that the same issue manifests itself under other circumstances. For instance, the Touchsmart was idling in screensaver mode while I was working on other computers in my network. You know, power on, updates, and the like on the other computers, when I noticed that this Touchsmart was showing the volume bar at 100%. This with no other input or contact of any kind! So, what happened here????
Clearly there is an issue with either the case design or software compatability. I wonder if any others out there experience the same issues as I've explained here.
Perhaps some of you can do a little troubleshooting and try some of these temporary workarounds as I've explained here and get back to this forum to explain your experiences.
Maybe together we can get HP's attention to recognize this problem.
Thanks for trying.

Volume control on usb headset doesn't work.

I got myself the Logitech ClearChat Pro USB headset. I've got it to work with the help of http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php/Hotpl … es_(Howto). I can change the headphone volume with gnome-alsamixer. However, the volume controls located on the headset doesn't work. The controls works in Windows so either it's a configuration issue or it is simply not supported in Linux. Does anyone have experience with this headset or with USB headsets in general?
Thanks.

You may have already seen this.... but
No, I hadn't seen this. As it says that it worked out of the box in Ubuntu, I downloaded the LiveCD and it works indeed as it should after seleting the headset as sound output in the control panel. Afterward, I tried it on my laptop but the controls change the master volume on the onboard soundcard instead of the headset one. So it's just a matter of configuring it. From the articles that I found at http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php/Main_Page, it seems to be quite complicated from the first glance. I'll try to find an example asound.conf (or ~/.asoundrc). The Ubuntu LiveCD doen't contained these files so I don't know how they did it.
R00KIE: Thanks, but I already found that out and I can change the headset volume from alsamixer. What I want to do is to change it with the volume controls on the headset: http://www.logitech.com/repository/530/jpg/4838.1.0.jpg

Plantronics Voyager 855 unable to lower volume during iPod playback

I wasn't sure if this should be in 3GS or music and video, so I figured I would pick one.
I have a 3GS 32gb running version 3.1. The problem I have is during iPod playback. My Voyager 855 locks the volume slider on the phone at half way. Using the volume control ON THE HEADSET, I can increase the volume and see the volume slider on the phone increase correspondingly up to the point that the music is very loud. But, when I try to turn the music down, again using the volume controls ON THE HEADSET, the slider on the phone will only go down to the halfway point. I can continue to click the volume down button ON THE HEADSET and the button will beep along with a split second decrease in volume but as soon as the button is released the volume has not changed-it remains at the halfway point. I have this problem with watching youtube videos, everything, EXCEPT for on the rainfall app that I have. I can increase/decrease the volume all the way up or down to the point that I can no longer hear the rain or until it is so loud it hurts my ears. This is very frustrating as I would really like to use this headset while reading and for sleeping, but the iPod function is just too loud. My friend has a 3G 8gb with the exact same headset and he does not have this problem. Is this a feature/limitation of the 3GS?

Yeah, ha ha, that is my post to Plantronics and their reply to me. I tried what you suggested and no go:
Un pairing, rebooting, and re pairing did not result in a fix. I still have the same problem. I tried it on my wifes phone-hers is running 3.1.3, and no-go, it had the same problem.
The volume slider works when the music is not outputed through the headset. When through the iPhone speaker, it works as it should-the volume is able to be adjusted up and down via the slider. Videos behave as they should, any program that needs to be adjusted via the volume slider or the rocker button on the side of the phone works as it should. To expand on what I stated eariler: while using the iPod function I can set the slider all the way to the left (volume 0), press the option for output and set it to the headset. When I do that, there is a split second where you can see the slider move from the left to the middle, and then the slider disappears. It's almost as though the headset is resetting the default/baseline sound level from 0 to 50 (if we are working on a 0-100 scale). I can increase the volume using the buttons on the headset, and I can lower the volume only to half way. If I then select the option for sound output and change it back to speaker, the slider reappears, and it is all the way to the left where I originally set it. This is very frustrating. I can understand Plantronics response. but they are wrong. I can control the loudness of music via the iPod application. I guess maybe this is just a hiccup I will have to deal with. I have placed a request to Apple that they fix this. Maybe in the next upgrade they will, or at least add an option where you can adjust it in the settings.

Controlling Master and Headset at the same time

Hello,
I'm using GNOME 2.14 and using a laptop computer for all my needs. I've
3 controls (Volume Up, Down and Mute) on my laptop that I use to control
the Master channel. But if I connect a headset to listen to my music, I
have to manually change the volume from the mixer. Is there a option or
some kind of work around that I can control the Master and Headset
channels at the same time.. I want them to be the same always..?

If you have setup keyboard shortcuts to run specific commands with xbindkeys or the like, you can make them run these commands:
amixer set Master 1- & amixer set Headphone 1-
amixer set Master 1+ & amixer set Headphone 1+
You have to investigate how to match them as on my box the headphone command changes more than the master, so that you might need to use 3 -/+ from master to match 1 -/+ from headphones for example.

Main "Play Control" volume changes on its own when I open and close WinDVD or Winfast

Main "Play Control" volume changes on its own when I open these programs, and when they're closed the main volume resets to where it was before the program was opened.
Surely I'm not the only one who has had this problem before.. I've had the problem with both Creative soundcards I've owned, before and after different drivers installations.
It can be very irritating and can potentially lead to damaged speakers if I'm not paying close attention to what my various volume knobs are set at before and after I open these programs.
I appreciate any and all input, thankyou.

I had to edit to reflect its Mavericks 10.9

Satellite P100-347: Blue screen appears on start up - unable to boot volume

Recently I left my 2 younger brothers playing NFS Carbon on my satellite P100-347, preinstalled with media centre 2005 edition, and now it fails to startup.
During the startup process eventually a blue screen is displayed for about a second and then it shutsdown (I manged to make out the words "unable to boot volume" from the blue screen).
I tried booting with an XP media centre DVD but it only gives me an option of reinstalling the OS with a price of losing all my very important data. Normally I would have recovered the system but I don't want to lose my data.
Is there anything i can do other than taking it to a technician?

Hi
Well, mostly the BSOD appears due to a hardware problem or serious software issue.
In your case the software problem is possible
Unfortunately, I think the new OS installation is the best way to get the notebook running correctly.
Now you want to know how to save the data and files well, I think you should remove the HDD from notebook and should try to connect the 2.5 HDD via external USB controller to another computer. Then you could save the files on the other HDD
I think, now you know that the regular backups are important and necessary!!!!

Unable to create volume - error message when exporting

Hello - relatively new Mac and iphoto user here.
I'm trying to export photos from iphoto to a 2 GB thumb drive. I keep getting the error message "unable to create volume" when I try to move anything but very small batches of photos over. What's going on? I tried to create a folder on my desktop for the photos but then when I try to move from there I get an error message telling me the photo "is in use" and can't be moved to the thumb drive.
I would move them to my external hard drive but I'm having trouble with it too. It won't even show up. When I run a disk utility on it it says it can't be verified. Sigh. So that's a whole other issue that will probably take something like Disk Warrior to clean up.
In the meantime, I'm trying to move images to the thumb drive then I'm putting the thumb drive in my other computer and moving the images from the thumb drive to it's external hard drive A long process when you can only move about 20 images at a time from iphoto.
I'm just trying to move a good bit of old photos out of iphoto on the Mace because I'm scared that the program or even my entire computer is going to crash and I'm going to have data loss.
What can I do about the "unable to create volume" message? And what's with the "file in use" error message when I try to move the images off a file folder on the desktop.
Is there a better way to move 1GB of photos all at once to the thumb drive?

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
Seems to be two issues complicating things here:
I'm trying to export photos from iphoto to a 2 GB thumb drive. I keep getting the error message "unable to create volume" when I try to move anything but very small batches of photos over.
What format is that wee drive? Mostly there are FAT16 or FAT 32 and there is a limit to the number of objects they can have on the root of the drive. The workaround is to export to a Folder on the desktop and copy that over.
Which brings us to:
I tried to create a folder on my desktop for the photos but then when I try to move from there I get an error message telling me the photo "is in use" and can't be moved to the thumb drive.
You will sometimes get this message when you try to export two files +with the same name+ to a Folder. As you know your camera is well capable of producing many files called something like DSC_1234.jpeg. In iPhoto these will be in separate folders, so no problem. However, when you go to export them to the Folder on the desktop if iPhoto continues the export one will overwrite the error.
Solution: Give the Pics a title (Photos -> Batch Change) and a sequential number. Then when you export, in the export dialogue you have the option to use the Title as filename.

Unable to set volume attribute "min-autosize" for volume

We have a TDP volume(destination), that is in snapmirrored state from 7Mode to cDOT.While trying to resize/increment the volume size by say 100g we get the following error. clusterName> volume size volumneName -vserver vserverName +100gWarning: Volume "vserver:volumeName" is a SnapMirror destination volume. The Filesystem Size for this volume is derived from its source and cannot be changed. The specified size will be used as the Volume Size.
Do you want to continue? {y|n}: y Error setting size of volume "vserver:volumeName". Unable to set volume attribute "min-autosize" for volume

Hi I am not trying to change any setting. I am trying to increase the size of the volume. I understand in case of a Snapmirrored volume the fs_fixed options is ON.But one can always increase the actual volume size using vol size command. Even if I increase the size on ONTAP on the file system side it will show as the size same as source. I understand that. So my question is why is it prevenitng me from increasing the size.

"Unable to create volume" error when exporting

Exporting photos from iPhoto gives me the "unable to create Volume" error. iPhoto and Mountain Lion are the latest versions, and most recent updates. Library of 30,000 images is currently on an NAS. Destination drive is formatted Mac OSX Extended (Journaled, Encrypted).
Library has already been rebuilt. No change.
PNGs have been deleted from library. No change.
Tried batch re-titling every image in the library library, and exporting so that exported files were named according to title, followed by a number--thus no two files would have the same name. No change.
Any suggestions?

Library of 30,000 images is currently on an NAS.
Likely cause right there.
iPhoto needs to have the Library sitting on disk formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled). Users with the Library sitting on disks otherwise formatted regularly report issues including, but not limited to, importing, saving edits and sharing the photos.
Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Reveal in Finder -> Original. A Finder Window should open with the file selected. Does it?

Not able to control volume up/down while using Digital AV Adapter.

Hi there,
I am using iPhone 5, iPad 4 and digital av adapter. Video mirroring works fine but can't control volume while the devices are plugged with the digital av adapter. The volume button just disappear when it is plugged.
I use 24 inch monitor with speaker and non-apple HDMI cable.
Wondering anyone has any idea.
Thank you for your comments in advance.

When an apple device is connected to a HDMI display e.g. a TV, it is possible indeed usual for the sound output to be also automatically sent over the HDMI connection to the TV speakers. This works fine.
However, in this configuration the on-screen volume control on the apple device is disabled and the device has no way itself to control the volume level. The volume level can be controlled on the TV. As this stands, this could be considered normal correct behavior.
