Volume changes up and down during all solng

Every time I listen to songs, the volume goes up and down and up and down again.. Anyone know why - and more important, how to fix it? Thanx..Anne

I have observed this effect on all systems I have run on with the exception of my work computer (running windows 7). Even on my laptop (also windows 7) as well as my home pc (ubuntu) -- this effect is noticable. I have the premium membership and always felt this was a spotify issue because no other programs experience this effect.
I originally thought it was a priority issue. Setting spotify to HIGH or realtime priority had no effect. I attempted all other solutions on this thread and the effect is still very noticable. I suspect spotify limits bandwidth during times of high volumes of data transfer. My suspicion suggests to me that they vary bandwidth and therefore the audio quality of your playback. Youtube, netflix, pandora, and other streaming media companies are known to do this with media quality.
Software is developed by companies to detect your network capabilities, and scale the quality of your media based on these factors. When your connection is terrible, or your bandwidtch drops, the quality ofy our media automatically adjusts and scales in a manner that appears to be diredtly proportional to your networks attributes.
My assumption is that at work (windows 7), our T1 line is so fast that bandwidth is never an issue -- so audio quality is always the best. When I take it home, due to router limitations and ISP limitations, my connection is not nearly as reliable and consistent.
These are my suspicions and I am very technologically literate, and have done much research into coming up with a solution to this issue. I feel it outrageous and offensive that I can purchase premium membership and pay a monthly fee to have my media quality automatically adjusted based on network attributes. The option to pause for 10 seconds to buffer the song would be preferable over lisening to a song that varies tremendously in volume.
Spotify, I love the concept of your service, but it appears your money saving techniques effect the quality of the experience your a providing - and people will know.

Solved: Attention T510 owners: Audio / sound volume goes up and down

Hi all,
I am a new owner of a T510, and have discovered the audio goes up and down when listening to music through the speakers, running on battery. I would like to get in contact with other T510 owners, who can test if their unit has the same problem - try this:
1. Check all the settings in the SmartAudio control panel (using the newest driver) - making sure no EQ is set, nor VOIP settings or anything like that.
2. Check that no plugin was loaded in the sound control options (I am using Windows 7, 32 bit).
Now try and play this youtube song, and listen to the volume at around 40 seconds when the lead singer begins - does your audio volume go up and then down again when he stops? If you listen to the complete song, it goes up and down some more times.

Edit #1:
I can unfortunately now add, that the problem is also there when using the AC adapter. It is so **bleep** annoying the volume fluctuates, and it is VERY easy to hear on the above link. Hoping to hear from other T510 users what their findings is. For information I can tell I am using the power plan called "Maximum Performance", in the power manager from Lenovo. The T510 model is a 4349-4JG.

Edit #2:
I have now had time to test it some more, using another HDD (didnt want to reinstall windows on my SSD, hehe) - and can hereby say that it seems to be a bug in the audio driver / SmartAudio control panel. Clean Windows 7, 32 bit, has the problems - but when you disable the VOIP function in the Smart Audio control panel, the problem disappears (actually it was just the VOIP function that was active before). If you then try to enable the VOIP function again, the "problem" does not come back (hence the bug comes into action now). After this test, I put my SSD back into the laptop, and tried to mess with the VOIP functions (again, had already tried to mess with it), and it did not do anything (hence the bug is active now). Therefore I reinstalled the audio driver - tried to check if the problem was there, it was. Then I did the same procedure as on the other HDD, tried to disable the VOIP (before I installed anything else and such!), and the problem is now gone. And the result now is that when I try and enable the VOIP function again, the problem does not come back (hence the bug is now active) = me happy
In short terms:
The bug can either have the VOIP enabled and you can not disable it, or it can be the other way around - it cant be enabled. To "turn" the bug around, reinstall the audio driver :-)

Hi,
Ive been having this problem with my Compaq CQ60-615DX for almost a year now. When im listening to music I can hear the audio going up and down through it. One sec itll be loud and the next its like the audio being turned down (but the volume bar does not move). I also have SmartAudio with the Conexant High Definition. So, I see that you have figured it out. Ive tried to understand what you said but im not very literate with computers. Could you explain how to stop it step by step? I would appreciate it. Thanks.

Is anyone else having problems with playback volume fading in and out during a song?

I've noticed that when I play a song now the volume (or probably more correctly the high frequencies) seem to fade in and out. It is a constant "wave" of which ebbs and flows during every song. It has become very annoying. I checked the EQ settings, Playback Enhancer and Crossfade settings. All are normal. Anyone else experiencing this fading in and out of the high frequency sounds?

Try deleting the preferences, and other maintenance measures, like clearing caches.
Also, try running FCP X from another user account. I bet that FCP X will run smoothly in a fresh account, indicating that the cause lies somewhere in your user settings, preferences, or whatnot.
The 10.0.4 is the fastest and most stable version yet for the vast majority of users. I hope you soon see your problems resolved.

I am the founder of a non-profit organization, a donor had just given us her used iBook G4. What do I need to do to wipe out her "stuff", change username and password, start all over new. We will use this iBook in our learning center in Saigon, Vietnam

To good citizens of the MAC world,
I am the founder of a non-profit organization, we are caring for 6,200 orphans and street kids in Vietnam. A donor had just donated her used iBook G4 for us to use in one of our several "learning centers" in Vietnam. Folks sometimes donating PC but this is the first time we ever received a MAC.. :-) I would like to know how to start this iBook all over new: change username and password. I am looking so forward to bring it to Saigon in a few days and let our children experience MAC ... I am a 2 years MAC users and I have no intention to return to the Dark side. Please help. I have the original OS disk. Thank you so much.

There should be no need to zero the hard drive.
Using the Restore discs that came with the iBook when it was new, restore the system software using the appropriate instructions which you can find through a link contained in this Apple Knowledge Base article:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1561?viewlocale=en_US
Good luck with it.

IPad volume jumping up and down

I have one of the first iPads sold, so not sure is was a manufacturing defect or something else.
About a month ago I noticed when watching movies the sound would cut in and out volume wise. I thought it was the ear buds but it did not matter which ones I used.
Today I was playing a song (I really do this since I play through my iPhone) and got then same problem. I noticed that the sound slider bar was moving up and down on it's own.
I read on some forums that this has been a problem with iPods and to reset them. I tried that and it did not work.
Any other ideas before I take It to the apple store?

As a matter of fact, it does tend to happen at work where my ipod usually sits next to my bb.
I will have to check that out and look for the posts on RF interference.
Thanks for the tip.

Static and volume swaying up and down

Hi there thanks for taking the time to read this, my 160Gb classic is now making a static noise when paused and going to sleep on its own. On top of that the volume seems to sway up and down and tracks are skipping forward to the next track half way through.
The static problem is removed by pressing pause/play a couple times and is not an issue when putting the iPod to sleep myself.
Im assuming this is because of the 1.1 update as Ive been lucky enough to have been pretty much trouble free since buying it.
Im no stranger to iPods and have both tried Restore and a Reset and nothing seems to be helping, if anybody has any input I would be most grateful.
Many thanks
Gareth

Jeff thanks thats sorted it, oddly my iTunes never lets me know there is new software available since Leopard. Might try yet another clean install seeing as I have a night to myself.
Thank you, have a great weekend

Phone is possessed...ringer volume goes up and down on its own etc. etc.

Recently my iPhone has been doing odd things on it's own, I'll be looking at texts or an app and it'll just close to the home screen or go blank or to the screen for powering down..the ringer volume level goes up and down by itself and sometimes it restarts itself and goes into a restart loop for awhile. It also drops calls and goes to the home screen without even saying call failed.
I have restored the software since this has been happening and it's still does it.
What I want to know is if I take it in and can't be fixed if I am still eligible to get a new one, it's less than a year old.
Thanks.

You will not get a new one as a replacement under warranty. You will get the same model that you have now.
You will not be eligible for the upgrade pricing on the new iphone as you have had your current iphone only a year or less.

Replacement HD spinning up and down during "sleep"

I just "upgraded" the HD in my iMac Indigo to a 40GB Western Digital. Everything runs fine (things I have tried) except that it won't sleep properly. When put to sleep, the HD spins down, stops, then after a brief pause spins up again, leaving me with a blank screen and a spinning disk. Thereafter I get noises of half spinning up and down at intervals.
I have seen bad comments about Western Digital and one problem where resetting was required (PMU?) Do I have an unhappy HD?
I started up in 9.2.2 and put it to sleep and it slept properly. Does the HD just not like OSX? I'm running 10.3.9 on the Imac Indigo 350.
Any thoughts please? Thanks in advance.

OK, answered my own question (via Duane on another post). Looking at Duane's link http://forums.xlr8yourmac.com/drivedb/search.drivedb.lasso I found the exact same problem encountered with WD drive elsewhere, hence solution-send drive back and get a more compatible one (looks like Maxtor). I'll leave the post up in case it helps anyone else.
Thanks Duane

IPhone Users Email Account Settings Change Somehow and Reply to All CC's themselves

I have an odd one here for sure.
I am an exchange administrator for a organization and we believe that since getting iPhone 6's two of my execs have had
an issue where their iphone AND their ipad have issues. It is reported that a reply to all will cc themselves on every email and we found that when looking at the mail account settings the username actually changes from [email protected] to [email protected]
We see this on both of the devices (iphone and ipad) and we feel that it began when they two execs got their iPhone 6's.
I will also add that we do not have any way for these devices to communicate with our internal network other than just ActiveSync. There is no internal wifi network or anything like that. We have updated the device to the latest version of iOS
and we just migrated their mailboxes to Exchange 2013. I will add that this happened on 2010 as well and the migration just happened to be occurring during the time that we were trying to resolve it. It has been going on for quite a while, but
is starting to make a scene internally.
We have since found that some of our regular users have this issue as well, but no one in our IT staff has seen this. I am an Android user, but the rest of my staff are iOS users.
Anyone seen this before? Any ideas? How could this just flip the account settings like this?

*Does this happen after you update to Firefox 33?
*Does this happen in other browsers?
*Are there any errors in the Web Console when it jumps?
The features that may contribute to this from Firefox are hardware acceleration accelerated scrolling. Accelerated scrolling can be toggled in the Firefox Menu > Preferences > Advanced > General > under Browsing.
Try disabling graphics hardware acceleration.
You might need to restart Firefox in order for this to take effect, so save all work first (e.g., mail you are composing, online documents you're editing, etc.).
Then perform these steps:
#Open Firefox ''Options'' window (''Preferences'' on Mac or Linux) as follows:
#* In Firefox 29.0 and above, click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]] and select ''Options'' for Windows or ''Preferences'' on Mac or Linux.
#* In Firefox 28.0 and previous versions, click the orange Firefox button at the top left, then select the "Options" button, or, if there is no Firefox button at the top, go to Tools > Options.
#In the Firefox Options (or Preferences) window, click the ''Advanced'' tab, then select ''General''.
#In the settings list, you should find the ''Use hardware acceleration when available'' checkbox. Uncheck this checkbox.
#Now, restart Firefox and see if the problems persist.
Additionally, please check for updates for your graphics driver by following the steps mentioned in the following Knowledge base articles:
* [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]]
* [[Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL]]

Random volume change on midi track during

Hey guys! For some reason a random midi track will just all of a sudden increase to max on volume while play back and I haven't got any automation on it at all. I have tried unplugging the midi and in again but still won't solve the problem. Anyone know how to fix this??
I have been searching for this answer and still haven't found anything.
Is this a bug in logic pro? This used to happen with my Logic 8 and I just recently upgraded to Pro thinking this won't happen but it's doing my head in!!!
Please please help!!

OK, you say all sorts of things, but frankly none of it is very clear or concise. What is needed here is evidence. So first select any track on which this happens, select the regions of that track, open the Event list (key: E) and make a screenshot of that event list. This to exclude that you already have recorded these volume control messages. If you have and you don't want them, click on the Notes button top of the event list, this hides all notes, making it easier to select all volume events and delete those.
Second, when it starts to happen, hit cmd-8, an Environment window opens. In this window, go to the dropdown top left and choose Click & Ports. In that layer/window you'll see a MIDI monitor object. Are there any events shown in it? Click in it to clear it, and see if cc 7 (volume) control messages start coming in. They move you faders.
You most likely have a MIDI controller with a wobbly slider or panpot or other hardware thingy that is sending out those Volume control messages aka CC 7.
"unplugging and in again" I take it means you have unplugged it and immediately replugged it, as a sort of "reset"? That will not help in this case, it would help if you'd unplugged it and observed what (didn't) happen when you did. I bet the problem clears up then, again pointing to the hardware as the culprit.
You can do that still: unplug your MIDI equipment, and see if it still happens. My bet: it won't.
If the hardware is to blame, the best solution is to get better hardware, or get it fixed, or filter out the volume messages in the environment, or in the prefs.

Sound is unstable. Volume up and down?

&Sound is unstable. Volume up and down?y Hi guys. I'm completely at a loss with my PCI Express X-Fi Titanium Fatalty Champion Series.
Recently I formatted my computer and installed all of the latest drivers for my card with WinXP Pro 32, problem now is that the volume is up and down like strippers knickers!
The volume goes up and down?with everything. Doesn't matter if I'm playing a game, listening to music or watching movies both from DVD and AVI.
I've tried to resolve this in all 3 settings (Game, Entertainment, Audio Creation modes) with CMSS and Crystalizer turned on and off.....no difference.
The SMV (Smart Volume Management) is disabled. I've even disconnected the front panel.
The speakers are connected via the analogue connections.
Any help would be very much appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Brett

Hi jmacguire.
I've checked the global speaker volume as suggested and they are all set to max.
As far as keyboard goes, I've got the Logitech g5 keyboard (without drivers installed for it).
How very interesting..... I've just installed the drivers for it and it's fixed the problem. Typically I looked for the hardest way to fix this when the answer was so simple.
Thank you for your fast reply to my problem.
Regards
Brett
