Volume control for 2nd gen. Itouch

I recently purchased a 2nd gen. Itouch. The volume buttons on the side has started to not function properly. Sometimes I can not decrease the volume and sometimes the volume will just not change. Also the volume display will remain frozen on the screen

I'm having the same issue. Except mine is a little worse.
At random it will shoot the volume up, and only up. My device seems to be emulating the "volume up" button press on the side of the unit. Every time I'm listening to something, it will nearly shatter my ears when the volume shoots up. If I try to bring the volume back down again, it will fight with me to keep it all the way at the top. There's no way I can possibly turn the volume down on my iPod Touch!
It's happening more and more frequently, and I've tried remedies such as wiping everything and installing the new firmware to no avail.
How might one go about getting a replacement unit?

Most recent iOS version available for 2nd gen iTouch

What is the most recent version of iOS that can be put on a 2nd generation iPod Touch? It seems like everything in the app store needs a much newer version of the iOS, and I'm not sure if I can put it on my iPod. (And I'm sure not going to go out and buy a whole new iPod just to download a video game). It's at version 4.2 right now, and I just updated it. Also, if the operating system can be updated any further, does anyone have any clue how to do it? According to iTunes, 4.2 is the latest version, so it won't let me update any further.

iOS 4.2.1 is the highest version that is compatible with your 2G iPod Touch. It can't be updated any further.

HT5569 cannot connect to wi-fi network with my 2nd gen itouch even after following most troubleshooting solutions; have 3 other devices that connect with no problem (using wndr3700v3 dual router)

cannot connect to home wi-fi connection with my 2nd gen itouch even after following most troubleshooting solutions. i have 2 5-gen itouch ipods and a kindle fire hd 8.9 that can connecto to my wi-fi network and even download from my e-mail accounts with no problem. it had no problem connecting with my old a/b/g netgear router nor the first time i installed my new netgear wndr3700v3 router. since then, no connection. don't know what happened.
help

Does the iOS device connect to other networks?
Does the iOS device see the network?
Any error messages?
Do other devices now connect?
Did the iOS device connect before?
Try the following to rule out a software problem:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Power off and then back on the router
- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
- iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
- Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network
- iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.
Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
Could it be this:
iOS: Wi-Fi or Bluetooth settings grayed out or dim
One user reported that placing the iPod in the freezer fixed the problem. A trick that works frequently with iPhones:
Settings > AirPlane Mode ON, Do Not Disturb ON
Power down and wait 5-10 minutes
Power up
Settings > AirPlane Mode OFF, Do Not Disturb OFF
If not successful, an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is usually in order.

Mapping Alsa Volume Control for USB SoundCard (C-Media 650)

Hello everyone who is interested in helping me solve my volume control problem!
Lets see, I have sound playback working, currently I am listening to some Foo Fighters mp3s in XMMS using the Alsa plugin, so I can't complain too much.
However, volume control doesn't work. If I set the alsa plugin to use software volume control, then I have volume control but its not ideal and it doesn't help me when I'm not using xmms. When I run alsamixer or open the gnome volume control, I have multiple volume controls for the "Speaker" device. The 1st pair of volume controls do nothing, I can mute them and my music keeps playing... no idea what they're controlling. The 2nd pair ("Speaker 1") DOES control the sound volume. I just need to find a way to remap it or something so I can configure my applications/tray icon/etc to use it. (And preferabbly not the other 6 channels)
In the Gnome sound control, the devices are:
"Speaker" - stereo control that doesn't do anything
and "Speaker 1" - a 7.1 channel (8 sliders) with the first two controlling front left and right sound for my stereo speakers.
I've tried setting xmms to use "speaker 1", but the option is not in the drop-box, tried typing it manually but that didnt work.
I set my tray icon to control "speaker 1" but the sliders don't seem to lock properly and the volume just jumps around, unlocking the channels and not staying balanced or scaling with the slider.
The only way to get the volume to change as expected is to open the gnome volume manager, make sure the channels of "Speaker 1" are UNLOCKED and slide the first 2 sliders to the desired volume.
So I was thinking if I could just remap the first two channels of "speaker 1" to something else using an alias or link or editing asound.state (which just confused me) for example, then I could use my alias to control the sound in my applications. Thanks for any help with this!
Here's some system info that may or may not help:

Thanks again!

Some other observations that may be helpful (and, hopefully, get closer to the heart of the problem)...
(1) Whenever VLC is playing audio (as mentioned in previous post, it is only application that works in desired manner), it will show up in Kmix's "Playback Streams" tab. Whenever Wine and Firefox are playing, they do NOT show up in the "Playback Streams" tab.
(2) Kmix will not allow more than one open application to grab the UA-5 sound (e.g. If I open Firefox and play audio, stop playing audio (while leaving Firefox open), then open VLC and try to play audio, VLC will not play audio (unless Firefox is closed)). This is likely a related problem to the problem outlined in the previous post, but it might not be. If it isn't, I'll take advice on how to let KMIX grab multiple audio sources simultaneously on the same sound card.
Thanks for reading!

Can i put iOS5 update on my 2nd gen. itouch?

i have a 16 gig, 2nd gen itouch. can i get the iOS5 software update on it? if so how. and if not, will they make it available anytime soon?

Probably not, if memory serves, iOS5 is only available for iPod touch 3rd generations on up.

Solitaire City on 2nd Gen. iTouch

I've got Solitaire City on my 2nd gen iTouch. Here's my question for the group. When playing a game and you move a card from the field to the "home row", a bell sounds. On my iTouch I hear a crackle when the bell sounds. I'm just wondering if anyone else hears the same thing, or do i have a screwed speaker.
I hope to hear from others.
Thanks

- Purchase and install version 3.0 of the iPhone/Touch software from the iTunes Store.
- Go into Settings>General and set Bluetooth to On.
Note: The only Bluetooth devices that the Touch will currently sync with are stereo speakers and headphones (NOT headset/mic combos such as you would use with a cell phone).

The backlight on my 2nd gen itouch has quit...

The backlight on my 2nd gen itouch has quit... I restored the restored the software, but it didn't help - I'm sure its a hardware problem. Does anyone know what the fix for this might cost? Thanks
I couldn't see any other similar questions until this posted just a second ago - in case in helps with the diagnosis, the backlight does come on intermittently, which made me think it was a software problem, but now I'm just not sure.

I would make an appontment at the Genius Bar of an Applew store. It is free except for your time. Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished 2G for:
Apple - Support - iPod - Repair pricing
A third-party place may be less expensive: Here us one. Google for more.
iPhone Repair, Service & Parts: iPod Touch, iPad, MacBook Pro Screens
However, it may not be worth it for a 2G iPod.

Volume control for video playback through Apple TV2

I am trying to configure the volume settings used on airplay through apple TV2 and a macbook pro and Iphone4 all with most recent updates.
I am using the apple remote app on my iphone to control the apple tv.
Whats working:
Using the pandora app on my iphone through aiplay to the apple tv, I can control the volume using the plus and minus buttons on the side of the iphone for volume control. Very cool and easy.
Using the apple remote app on my iphone I can control the itunes volume of different speakers by clicking on the airplay icon and using a slider. Not as cool as using the hard +/- buttons but still works.
Whats not working:
Controling volume on appleTV2 through the iphone remote app for video playbacks like netflix, and youtube.
Why I want this: RIght now I can control most of the multimedia right from my iphone including cranking the music up:) But when I switch over to video(Netlfix, Youtube) I have to get out another remote (stereo reciever) to control the volume. It seems we are so close to being able to control everything off the iphone, the only thing missing is volume control for video playback.
Is there a setting that can be changed or a solution I havent found?
Thanks

Same problem with TV3. HDMI volume output is not adjustable, neither with the original Apple remote nor with any universal. Why ? Every simple settop-box is able to be volume adjusted. And a Mac Mini too ?!!!
I use a flatscreen TV. it has 3 HDMI inputs and one optical out for the audio going to an amp standing behind it. The sound of the TV is switched to go to the optical out.
HDMI 1 is connected to the satellite settop box with its own remote control ( channel +/-, volume +/- etc. ) it work s fine.
HDMI 2 is connected to the MacMini HDMI out with its own remote control ( channel/music +/-, volume +/- ) it works fine too.
HDMI 3 was connected to Apple TV3 with its own remote control ( channel/music +/- but no volume ). I sent the TV3 back to Apple.
What's going wrong in the mind of Apple ? Why is the HDMI volume output of the MacMini adjustable with the Apple remote, and the TV3 not ?
I want not to discuss, wether a 4th remote control is useful or not. I don't want it. I want to adjust the volume with the originl remote control of the specific unit I use, because I need it anyway. It worked since years, but not with Apple TV3.
How can we help Apple to open the volume +/- function on their own remote control ?

2nd Gen itouch syncing

2nd Gen itouch: I am using Outlook Express on my PC & wish to continue doing so.
Succesfully synced music, photos & bookmarks but will not sync address book. I have tried using Outlook, this does not work and have followed all insructions in manual. Can anyone help?

Can anyone help?
Not here I'm afraid. This is the *Mac OS X Technologies > iSync* forum, which has nothing to do with syncing iPod touch (not iTouch) to Windows PCs.

Lenovo Miix 2 8" - Separating volume controls for headphones and speakers

The sound options for the Miix 2 out the box combine the volume control for internal speakers and for headphone jack, i.e. there is only one volume control for both the speakers and the headphones on the mixer settings at the the volume icon at the lower right hand of the desktop. So when headphones are plugged in, there is still only a "speakers" control shown.
I work in an office and would like to have the speakers muted if the headphones are pulled out.
Similar issues resolved on other devices directed to install an alternate sound driver (that offered separate controls) or pointed to some other settings in the sound driver properties menus where this could be manually done, but I'm having trouble applying any of them to this device.

Worked beautifully! Thank you very much!!

Tried it reverting to an older version of Skype. Didn't work.
But! I believe I may have found the solution.
Here are the steps I took to solve the issue:
1. Right click on the audio volume control icon -> Playback devices. The Sound window and Playback tab should be open.
2. Set Speakers/HP as both the Default Device and the Default Communications Device.
3. Go to Skype>Tools>Audio Settings. Set Speakers settings to: Speakers/HP (IDT High Audio Definition CODEC).
Hopefully this will work for anyone else who has the same or a similar problem.

Why does iphone has common volume control for ringer as well as Alarm?

Why does iphone has common volume control for ringer as well as Alarm? which is quite unusual. For Exp, In case i lower down my ringer for some reason instead of silent and forget to increase before i sleep, my morning alarm also remains at the same ringer level volume at which i can miss the alarm. Is it due to some specific reason or i have missed something to change in settings. Other phone like Samsung etc, they have separate volume control for ringer and to an extent, Nokia rings for Alarm even if the battery is completely discharged.

I have booked an appointment at my nearest Genius Bar which is 40 minutes away next week, so do I need a reciept or is the warranty checked from the serial number?
No receipt needed.
and is it covered under Apple's 12 month warranty?
It very well may be covered, depending on what Apple finds.

No volume control for audio tag in Firefox 5

So this is the problem - after I installed Firefox 5, '''volume control''' for '''audio''' tag stopped showing when I move mouse pointer over the mute control. I have all other controls visible - pause/play and mute, but not the volume control.
This occurs only when I use audio tag. If I open pure .ogg or .oga file in FF5, everything is fine, but that's not usable for me since I need to have audio embedded in my web page.
Video tag is working well.
Is there anything I can do to fix this (without having to code volume control in JavaScript)?

K? No it's not perfectly normal. The software volume control should be done by the Window/Creative sound drivers BEFORE it is sent to the DDL/DTS encoder driver.
Today I found that I do now have limited volume control. However the Master/Device/Speakers volume still does not work, nor does the mute. However the individual applications in the win7 volume mixer work fine to control volume, but having to adjust these gets tidious.
I have no idea if this just suddlenly started working, I just missed it before, or if the webcam with its audio mic driver I just installed did something to it. But at least I do have some way to control volume now within windows. Now if only I can get the master slider to work. Anyone have any ideas? I found one other post on here where someone else was complaining about this very same problem with DDL.
