Voluem is too loud!

just wondering if anyone else has had or heard of this problem.
The volume is way too loud. I tested it in two different headphones. also the volume is much, much louder in one side of the headphones. AND this is really weird. if I turn the volume ALL the way down, the volume is still way too loud (one the one side) to listen to comfortably. any ideas?

yes, tried that. still having the problem.
to be more precise, the one stereo channel does respond to the volume controls, but the other does not. it seems to be playing the left side at max volume at all times, while the right side loudens and softens with the scroll wheel.
well I guess I have to take it back.

ITunes 10 upgrade makes airtunes volume too loud even at minimum setting

I just updated to iTunes 10 this morning and love the interface and most of what is has to offer. I have, however, encountered an issue with the volume when streaming my music through Airtunes (or Airplay now) and my Airport Express to external speakers. I have an Express set up in my son's room and hooked up to a pair of computer speakers via a stero-mini to stereo-mini. Before the update the volume adjustment worked fine but after updating to iTunes 10 even the minimum volume is too loud for the white noise we put on to help him sleep. If you have ever had a fussy infant you understand that this is a HUGE problem. I've read the forums and come up with nothing. I know that I can manually change the master volume of the sleep sounds (get info on specific track and change master volume) but that's a ridiculous work-around. I've resorted to using Airfoil (an excellent program by the way) because I can't get Airplay to work right. All of the setting are there for it to be a real hit (individual volume settings for each set of external speakers - I have 2 airport express units) but they just DON'T WORK. What a shame that after an update I have to resort to a 3rd party program. I hope Apple hears this and updates very soon or the folks at Airfoil are going to be getting a lot of business very soon. Next post is at Engadget and Mashable
cool. please let me know if you've found a setting that I don't know about.
thx.

iTunes 10 allows each AirTunes (AirPlay) zone to have a separate volume. Try selecting "Multiple Speakers" in the "AirPlay" tab and adjust the volume from there. Also make sure the "Preferences" settings are set to allow for remote volume to be set.

Nokia 2700 handsfree kit volume too loud

my car (2007 bmw with fitted in bluetooth handsfree kit) connects fine with the new 2700 nokia i bought, however people keep telling me that they can hear me too loud over the phone, while in the car the volume is ok. I didn't have this problem with my previous nokia model, or with the one my son has, 5310 Xpress Music. The problem is that i can change the volume settings in the car, only the speaker volume that is,and the phone, once connected, doesnt allow any change of volume settings.
it is just the microphone volume, so not the speaker volume, and that i don't have this problem with other nokia models...
Yours sincerely,
Nicolas

As always, as this is a place where people will often/likely come when they have an issue of some sort you can't really measure whether or not something is structural or 'general occuring' by posts here. No one would deny that you may have an issue, but if it were as widespread as you seem to think it would be all over the media which is isn't.
I'd have the phone checked at the retailer or a Nokia Care Point.

IMovie to iDVD--Video too dark, sound too loud--Help!

I created three iMovie projects for my son's swim team, then made a DVD using iDVD. It was fine when viewed in iDVD's preview, but when burned to the DVD-R the video was too dark and the sound was way too loud. This is footage taken on a Sony digital camcorder (DCR-TRV11).
I did the iDVD project by starting from scratch from within iDVD, then dragging the iMovie pieces and still images into the iDVD project. The iMovie pieces were prepared by using Share to make them into "full quality" .dv movies.
When I play the finished DVD on my iMac, there are no unusual problems with the video or audio. It looks and sounds like it did when played from the digital camcirder. But when played on both of my standalone DVD players + TVs, the video is too dark and the audio is much too loud.
Any idea why this is, and to fix it? I don't find a way to reduce the audio volume in iMovie. Maybe there is a workaround using the Relative Volume feature, but all my clips have a similar sound level. Any help will be appreciated.

iMac G5 Mac OS X (10.4.3)

when burned to the DVD-R the video was too dark
They is a VERY slight darkening during the MPG-2 compression process (see my pages Digital Video Color Bars Test at http://homepage.mac.com/profpixel/color_bars/colorbars.htm and iMovie HD and iDVD 5 Gray Patch Test at http://homepage.mac.com/profpixel/gray_patches/graypatches.htm )
I suspect what you are seening is a major difference in brightness/contrast between your computer monitior and your TV set (and in fact you admit this: "When I play the finished DVD on my iMac, there are no unusual problems with the video or audio. It looks and sounds like it did when played from the digital camcirder. But when played on both of my standalone DVD players + TVs, the video is too dark and the audio is much too loud.") so you aren't seeing an iDVD problem.

Mac audio TOO LOUD after rebooting Mac

After rebooting a PowerMac G4/500 (AGP) with Mac OS X 10.4.6 sounds too loud (as if it was at top highest volume) when playing audio files, even though the audio setting (keyboard audio keys) is set to only one to three points. Just clicking such keyboard audio buttons (to lower or even increase it) fixes it and the audio returns to its correct volume. What is going on? This is driving me nuts!
Thanks.

Justin,
Thanks. I have done as indicated, shut down and booted, yet the issue persists. For instance, if I go to iTunes and play a song, it plays very loud, yet the audio is set at a single point. I can see it clicking the keyboard audio keys. As said, once I click any of such keys (increase or reduce volume any amount) the audio returns to its normal volume until the next time that I boot the Mac. This is a 100% consistent issue. Weird.

Distorted Audio-Captured too loud through mixer

I have a video that has a man speaking and most of it is distorted. It sounds like he is mumbling. The problem occured because the audio was captured too loudly through the mixer. I have tried different filters but none have seemed to work. I have also done the tutorial mentioned on a lot of these discussions. If you have any idea of what to do please help me out.
Thanks,
Micah Wooten

If the audio was recorded that way to begin with then your pretty much screwed. You said it was "captured" too loudly. If that's the case then you could recapture.

2nd time this has happened. Computer making noises too loud for computer.

Okay, seriously I have had enough. While using Garage Band editing music, my computer once again made a too-loud beep/honk noise. This has happened once before. Now my audio/built in speakers are F'ed! NOW ALL MY AUDIO SOUNDS LIKE THIS: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OcTHGDOLEoc (you gotta play the video. )
This has happened once before, but everything was okay except for a bit of distortion. WHY does this keep happening?! Heres a bit more information:
- Using Garage Band, didnt press ANY buttons to trigger sounds
- In using wireless internet, password protected
- I only had iMovie and iTunes opened (as well as GB)
- THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS ** HAS HAPPENED
- The sound was WAY too loud for the computer. It was like Max times 50
- I've only owned my Mac for about a year.
- I do not want to get a new bloody Mac, I just downgraded from SL.
I'm not really happy atm, so dont give me stupid answers.
(Wow, it sounds like im listening to AM radio! WOW! ... -.- )

I don't think you got a KP when the machine was off, but rather you may have closed the lid before the MB was fully powered down and it went into a sleep state.
Did you try running the Apple Hardware Test to see if the ram is bad? Since yo never had a KP before adding new ram, and the only change was adding said ram. My guess is that its the memory that is the cause.
I cannot vouch for patriot ram, but I suggest in the future you consider Crucial as its a higher quality ram.

Ipod playing too loud?

Hi there, JOSH!!! Oooooooohhhhhhhhh! Anyway, I've been having some problems with my ipod nano (4th gen) recently and I'm wondering if ya'll could help me out, if you'd kindly :3
Firstly the ipod is playing too loud, way too loud. Now this is not just your typical loudness, this is.... Advananced loudness.... To the point that the song becomes barely listenable.. Ok, to give you an example, let's say I'm listening to "POWER" by Kanye West. When the drums and the 'beat' come in at about 0:25 it just sounds like grabbled static, really loud, grabbled static. :/
And I've no idea what's going on.. At first I thought that the bass and treble in the equalizer was too high, but it turned out the equalizer wasn't even on :S Then I tried restoring it to factory settings (Several times), but that didn't work either. And 'then' I thought it might just be the headphones, but that was a dead end too! :O Now I'm left wondering, just what the **** is going on :/ Anyone have any ideas on this? (P.S Volume limit was never used)
Secondly it runs out of battery, like that *Clicks fingers* I think after 45 minutes it's already out of juice. :/ Though I believe that this might be due to the 'loud' problem, it could be something else ...
Thirdly it keeps 'crashing' and it's not just a 'hold down ya menu and play button and it'sa better' crash. It's a 'Restore to factory and resync your whole ****ing libeary everytime' crash :/
It's only recently started doing this. About the time itunes was last updated.. I synced up and poof ipod starts acting funny :S
So can anybody find me!!! Somebody tohelpmefixmyipod?
As a note my Nano magically recovered from being dropped in water about a year. However it's been working just fine and dandy for about 5-6 months now.

Try verifying that you do not have optional volume adjustment cranked up.
While in iTunes, get info on a track that is having this issue. Go to the options tab and at the top there is a "Volume Adjustment" setting. It should be set to "None". If it is set to +100%, that is your problem.
To fix, all of them at once, you can select all in your music library, then right click and select "Get Info" it will ask if you want to change multiple files at once, say yes. Then go to the options tab and set it to None and it will put that on all your tracks.
click ok, resync your music and see if that does it.

Action is too loud and talk is too low! Any suggestions?

I have noticed when I rent movies from iTunes on my Apple TV I find myself constantly adjusting the volume. It doesn't matter if I am using my tv speakers or my surround sound speakers. The action scenes are way too loud and I have to strain to hear people talking. Any suggestions?

Or use Compressor if you have it.

G6-1D96NR Laptop. Windows 7 Volumn is too loud

G6-1D96NR Laptop. Windows 7 Volumn is too loud on USB external speakers, even with the volume set to "1", in the volume mixer, and all the way down on the speaker. If I put it to "0" then there is no sound. Only options I have are "no sound" or too loud. No in between.

I have the same problem. Did you ever find a solution? I'm still looking for an answer, which I'll share, once I find it.

Cannot adjust sound without it being too loud

Hello.
I've basically had this problem since I upgraded to Windows Vista, and now it's starting to frustrate me quite a bit since going down the 64x bit route...
I cannot figure out how to get my volumes back to a normal state. When I was on Windows XP, I could have my main volume at about 75, and it would not be too quiet or too loud, but since the ugprade, the speakers are set to 4, and everything has to be jacked down otherwise it is far too loud.
The sound card is an Audigy 2 ZS.
This is what my volume mixer panel looks like.

I have the same problem on my 2011 Macbook Pro.
I've been using my computer with my lid closed and on external speakers and monitor and bluetooth devices for days on end and I haven't found a solution.
Has anyone out there found a solution yet?
This was the only place I found so far with the same exact issue I have.
I've had some virus trauma in my life, so my mind naturally goes to "VIRUS!" after any little strange thing happens. I'm pretty much imploding at the moment, so, if you guys have anything, let me know.

Mail alert sounds too loud; preferences ignored

After I upgraded to Leopard, suddenly the alert sounds in Mail were way too loud. I double-checked my "Alert volume" setting in the Sound preferences and it was set low. Other system sounds are played at an appropriate level. Only Mail ignores it. It seems that no matter what my system volume is set to, Mail alerts are played at 100% volume.
I found this old thread on the same topic, and am wondering if there is any fix for this problem yet?
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=7058243
Since I have been unable to find any reference to a fix from Apple, and I am sick of about jumping out of my skin when I am concentrating on work and a new message comes in... here is a hack that I did today that might help others: I located each sound file Mail uses (I have several that are used in my Rules), opened each in Audacity ( http://audacity.sourceforge.net/ ), adjusted each to -15db, and saved a copy of the files. I then assigned the "new mail" sound to use the quieter copy. Each rule also had to be edited to attach to the new files.
It's a hack, and time-consuming, but it seems to work.

Apple TV too loud

Basically, the output of Apple TV is that I have to set it on TV to either volume=1 (out of 100), which is too quiet, or volume=2, which is too high.
TV works find on regular channels, so the output of Apple TV is too loud.
Any chance to get it lower?

I assume you've used a 3-phono to 3-phono audio/video lead (yellow/red/white - composite, R&L audio lead) instead of a dedicated RGB component lead to connect the RGB component connectors to your TV. If it works and you're happy with it fine, but don't be surprised if some here criticize you for not having the correct impedance leads and so forth
Whilst the connectors may be red, green and blue in colour, the tv doesn't use an RGB signal it uses Y,Pb,Pr, however if what you are saying is that the OP might simply have used composite leads to connect the component ports on the tv to component ports on the tv, I can't see it making any difference. There may or may not be a difference in quality of picture because of the composite leads, but the leads connecting the L&R audio ports are still connected by the correct audio cable and the audio should work as expected.
I suspect your problem may be that the audio inputs on your TV simply monitor/relay the line level input audio via the TV speakers,
That could well be true but why would a tv do this.
Meantime I wonder if the OP could clarify their set up.
GEE where did all those posts come from, I was answering the third one.
