Volume difference depending on app

I have a bluetooth adapter setup in my car, and my iPhone 5 paired to it.  I use this setup to listen to music, podcasts, and audio books through my car stereo.
I've noticed that when playing music, I set the volume on my car stereo to 15-20 (volume on my stereo ranges from 0 - 40).  However, when listening to a podcast (using the Apple podcast app), or an audio book (Audible app), I must turn the volume to 30-35 so I can hear it.  In all cases, I have the volume on the iPhone set to maximum.
I don't think this is a result of the podcast audio being recorded at a lower level, as I listen to multiple podcasts and also audio books which all display this same behavior.  Many of them are professionally produced, so I would expect the levels to be set correctly.
Is anyone else experiencing this problem?

And if you plug them back in then it will revert to the volume you were using before you unplugged them. OS X stores the volume settings separately for the internal speakers and the anything connected to the output jack.
I think it's a plus compared to windows, where if you unplug the headphones and forget to lower the volume before you shut down, the music when you log in again near blows the internal speakers.

  • How do I reduce the maximum volume on an iPhone app?

    My sons love watching movies on Netflix and while I don't mind, my youngest tends to push the volume up to the highest volume.
    Is there a way to reduce the maximum volume on an iPhone?  You can reduce the maximum volume on the music under Settings -> Music -> Volume limit but that doesn't affect apps in any way.

    If the app doesn't include a volume setting for the app, the volume for the app depends on the iPhone volume setting at the time.

  • Difference between using app server connection pooling and using the driver

    Hi all,
    How to get connection pooling with out application server and tomcat also?
    What is the difference between using app server connection pooling and using the driver supported connection pooling?
    Regards,
    Murali

    maybe the performance of App server pool is better than the JDBC pool,
    for you don't know wether the implementation of the JDBC interface is good or bad.

  • Is it too much to ask from apple, an option for different volumes levels from different apps, including alarm, text, email, basically from every posible app?

    Is it too much to ask from apple, an option for different volumes levels from different apps, including alarm, text, email, basically from every posible app?

    My daughter has had her Razr for about 9 months now.  About two weeks ago she picked up her phone in the morning on her way to school when she noticed two cracks, both starting at the camera lens. One goes completely to the bottom and the other goes sharply to the side. She has never dropped it and me and my husband went over it with a fine tooth comb. We looked under a magnifying glass and could no find any reason for the glass to crack. Not one ding, scratch or bang. Our daughter really takes good care of her stuff, but we still wanted to make sure before we sent it in for repairs. Well we did and we got a reply from Motorola with a picture of the cracks saying this was customer abuse and that it is not covered under warranty. Even though they did not find any physical damage to back it up. Well I e-mailed them back and told them I did a little research and found pages of people having the same problems. Well I did not hear from them until I received a notice from Fed Ex that they were sending the phone back. NOT FIXED!!! I went to look up why and guess what there is no case open any more for the phone. It has been wiped clean. I put in the RMA # it comes back not found, I put in the ID #, the SN# and all comes back not found. Yet a day earlier all the info was there. I know there is a lot more people like me and all of you, but they just don't want to be bothered so they pay to have it fix, just to have it do it again. Unless they have found the problem and only fixing it on a customer pay only set up. I am furious and will not be recommending this phone to anyone. And to think I was considering this phone for my next up grade! NOT!!!!

  • A volume control for metro apps?

    I can't seem to locate any way of controlling the volume of most metro apps in the volume mixer. Is this something known? I searched the forums and couldn't find a solution. A friend says the same issues are there in Windows 8.

    Hi,
    I checked my Windows 8.1 system, really same problem. Please post this phenomenon through Windows Feedback.

    After updating to iOS 6.0.1 volume button not responding even theirs no volume slider in music app nor video app plz help m using iPhone 4 os Windows 8

    I suppose that you can demand all you want. It would have to be proven that the iOS update broke this particular function but it could also be said that it was just a matter of time that the broken thing manifested itself. Since the phone is out of warranty, it could also be said that it is your risk to update software. I'm not trying to be argumentative here, but we are not Apple. We are users like you and just try and provide support to other users. What you decide to do from here is your decision. I've given you all I know to do.

  • When I import videos taken with my iPhone 4S to my Windows PC some of the landscape videos are upside down and all of the portrait videos are rotated 90 degrees.  It makes a difference depending how I hold the iPhone when taking videos.  Help!!!

    When I import videos taken with my iPhone 4S to my Windows PC, some of the landscape videos are upside down and all of the portrait videos are rotated 90 degrees.  It makes a difference depending on what position I hold the Iphone when taking videos.  Help!!!!

    Sometimes syncing will have problems with very large video files like this.  I'm not sure you will be able to overcome this, but if the videos are important enough you may consider purchasing 3rd party software such as Touch Copy to transfer them.

  • Key differences in OBI Apps Spend Procurement and Spend Classification

    Hi,
    Can someone please explain the key differences in OBI Apps Spend Procurement and Spend Classification version 7.9.6.2 vs. version 7.9.6.3?
    Regards
    Vanaja

    There doesnt seem to be much diferences in terms of functionality or features. If you check the release notes..there are a few differences in the 7963 release related to bugs or packaging:
    If this is helpful or correct, please mark the response as correct or helpful.
    Here are some of the sections from the release notes:
    Section 1.3.28, "Currency Conversion Not Done in Purchase Agreement for Oracle Procurement and Spend Analytics"
    *1.3.32 'Days Payables Outstanding' and 'AP Turnover' Columns Are Missing*This issue applies to only those Oracle BI Applications customers who have implemented Procurement and Spend Analytics without implementing Financial Analytics.
    *1.3.43 Oracle EBS 12.1.3 - Contract Lifecycle Management Impact on Oracle BI Applications Release 7.9.6.3*This issue applies to only those Oracle BI Applications customers who have implemented Procurement and Spend Analytics for E-Business Suite (EBS) 12.1.3 along with Feature Pack for Oracle Contract Lifecycle Management (CLM) for Public Sector. CLM Feature Pack is deployed as an add-on to Oracle EBS 12.1.3 for delivering an integrated acquisition management solution for federal government procurement.
    CLM functionality has introduced changes to the Oracle EBS data model that affects data extraction and loading for Oracle Procurement and Spend Analytics. Customers with Oracle EBS 12.1.3 and the CLM feature pack must apply additional filters to exclude CLM records and to ensure that it does not interfere with V7.9.6.3 Procurement and Spend Analytics functionality.
    Workaround
    No work-around is available for this issue.
    *1.3.56 EXPENSE_INVOICE_POSTED_DT Not Pulled From AP_CHECKS_ALL.CHECK_DATE for Oracle E-Business Suite*This issue affects Oracle Procurement and Spend Analytics. The measure 'Expense Reimbursement Cycle Time' as shipped with this release does not work in the subject area Employee Expenses – Overview. The measure uses the column EXPENSE_INVOICE_POSTED_DT_WID in the fact table W_EXPENSE_F fact, but this column is sourced from AP_EXPENSE_REPORT_HEADERS_ALL.EXPENSE_LAST_STATUS_DATE during ETL.
    Workaround
    This issue is addressed by Oracle E-Business Suite patch 10038359.

  • Volume difference between programs due to pulseaudio

    Hello,
    I recently had to install pulseaudio because Skype required it. So now I think every application is using pulseaudio... I used to use ALSA before.
    Anyway, it seems that there is a volume difference between applications: I have to turn up my volume quite loud to hear music played by XMMS (with XMMS's slider already at max). But when then KDE makes an alert sound for a dialog, I almost jump out of my chair because of how loud it is!!
    Even stranger is that withing XMMS, switching to a next song causes a volume difference as well that didn't use to be there.
    With ALSA, all applications had more similar sound levels.
    Is there some way to fix this with pulseaudio?
    Thanks!

    I so feel ya aardwolf!
    I "switched" from alsa to pulseaudio a while ago, don't really remember what made it necessary for me, but anyhow. I've been through the same as you're going through these days. Unfortunately I haven't found any solutions.
    There doesn't seem to be a way for either turning off the per application sound levels (well I guess that's the feature that justifies the need for an otherwise useless sound server, so "of course" that can't be turned off), nor a way for implementing a reliably working master slider.
    Why do I say reliably working master slider? You can for example go to the output tab in pavucontrol, lock the channels together and use that as a master control. Or maybe not because all sorts of funny shannanigans are happening if you're doing that, such as sometimes it's working, other times it doesn't and other times these sliders jump to a random position. For example Amarok liked doing that on my machine: changing from one track to a different one sometimes caused the sliders to a much different random position and wrecking your nerves.
    So I would suggest to get pavucontrol to be able to adjust the sound levels for every application, then get e.g. pulseaudio-ctl to raise/lower/mute all active applications sound levels at once. That's the closest to having a real master slider. Every so often you'll probably have to readjust your per application levels because this way only your currently running applications are getting adjusted. So for example your skype and xmms levels sit both at 80 percent. Skype is not running, xmms is running. You turn xmms down to 50percent and crank your speakers up. When you then start skype it'll be at 80 percent. Since you mentioned kde: the kde system sounds will always be at 100percent and always blow your ears off. So yeah, welcome to the new linux world where shitty bloated and unnecessary software is deemed the new standard to mimic the poor behaviour of other operating systems.
    Alright before I get carried away too much: Good luck experimenting with pulseaudio. Maybe you will find the solution I couldn't find, I'll cross my fingers for you. Or get used to being able to adjust multiple sound levels and do so recursively (in pavucontrol playback, in pavucontrol output and in application - per application of course...). Or maybe run skype through wine (dunno if that's possible) and get rid of that unnecessary sound server - though I'm pretty sure that would only prolong things: eventually in a couple months you'll be forced to use pulseaudio again by some other program you're using. In any way: Get your frustration resistance up.
    Good luck.

  • What's the difference between mac app store, app store, iTunes store?

    what's the difference between mac app store, app store and whatever itunes stores out there?

    If you saying that the App Store on my phone and the App Store section of itunes on my computer are the same store,
    It is.
    could you please be kind enough to show me how to reach the 724 apps on my computer (just to look at, not to buy) that I get on my iPhone when I type: "chinese transla". 
    If I search the iTunes Store for "chinese translation", I get dozens of apps listed. Make sure you're searching the iTunes Store, not your library. The search box should say "search store". Also confirm that both your iPhone and iTunes on your computer are pointed to the same country's iTunes Store. Different countries' stores carry different items, so it's possible your computer is pointed to a different country's store. Look at the bottom of the iTunes window and make sure the round flag icon is the one for your country.
    Maybe the App Shopper has all the same apps that are on my phone?  I just looked, they say they have 1,000 apps.  Is this a safe site to buy from? 
    App Shopper is not a store. The only store you can buy iPhone apps from is the iTunes Store. App Shopper is just a compendium site that lists apps that are available in the iTunes Store. When you click to buy an app, you're taken to the iTunes Store.
    Regards.

  • HT1947 Any way to directly control the apple TV volume via ios remote app?

    It is great that remote app can now control direct streaming options to the apple TV (such as apple match, apple radio, and home sharing) but is there any way for the remote app to control the volume?
    Note that when I indirectly stream music through an external device (such as an iphone/ipad/laptop), I can of course use an apps volume control (such as, say, spotify, or itunes or whatever), and that works. What i'm talking about here is instances where I'm using the remote app to have the apple TV stream directly from, say, apple radio.
    As it stands now, the only way to control the volume in such cases is to control what is receiving the signal from the apple TV (such as an amplifer, or external sound producing device such as powered speakers, etc.).
    To make sure this clear to everyone, if I do:
    internet -> WIFI LAN -> iphone running, say, spotify -> WIFI LAN via airplay -> Apple TV -> Amplifer
    I can control the volume using the spotify app (or even the iphone's volume). This also works if I replace the spotify app with any music app runing
    on the iphone (such as the music app). If, however, I try to do the following:
    internet -> LAN -> Apple TV -> Amplifer
    and where the Apple TV is controled via the latest iphone/ipad remote app so that the Apple TV streams from, say, apple radio directly, there is no way
    to control the volume other than to adjust the amplifer.
    Thanks very much!

    The Apple TV has no volume control. When you are streaming from an app you are then controlling the  volume  on your iphone and transmitting via airplay.
