Volume drop on MuVo2

My Creative MuVo2 4gb didn`t transfer new songs from computer to player. It always got stucked after had transferred couple of songs. I reloaded firmware, it didn`t help but after formatting the whole thing it started to work properly again. Only problem is that volume level has dropped. I tried with severeal different headphones but same thing in all of them. Of course some of them play louder than others, but volume level has clearly dropped. Now when the volume is at full it still sounds like normal level. Anyone ? I tried everything i know, firmware didn`t help. This player is maybe 3-4 years old.

Of course I can't be sure, but this indeed sounds like a software bug to me.
I would start by going to iTunes > Preferences > Playback and unchecking Sound Check. I would also turn the EQ completely off. These two recommendations, by the way, should go a long way to improving the quality of anyone's experience with iTunes. However, the unfortunate truth is that these two things are on by default.
Sound Check adds a bunch of extra junk to the tags of every file in your iTunes library (use a robust player like foobar2000 on a PC to verify this) and then puts an increased demand on system resources whenever you play your music because iTunes has to read all this extra information in the song tags and adjust volume as playback goes on, etc.
It sounds like when you perform any tag updating, something goes haywire with the Sound Check fields of the tags. Your opinion may differ, but playing an album with the quiet sounds made loud and the loud ones made soft doesn't make any sense, so it's good to just turn off Sound Check and let iTunes ignore the extra fields that have been added to the tags of all your files.

  • Audio volume drops in FLV file after inserting into Captivate 4

    The audio volume drops almost 50% in FLV files inserted into Captivate 4.  Is there a solution for this problem?
    Thank you.

    Hi Sony,
    That was the first thing I ever tried when I discovered the default setting for FLV and slide video (variables and advanced actions are my favorites, as you know perhaps). Perhaps I missed something, and did not try in CP 5.5 or after the latest patch on CP5.0, but this system variable seemed only to have effect on the normal audio clips, not on audio for video?

  • IPad 4 Volume drops really low a few seconds, then back to normal.

    Hi All,
    I am having an issue with the Volume on my iPad 4.  I had one replaced 3 days before the warranty, but The replacement started doing the same thing.  I realized it had to be an app causing it.  I had been playing the RoboCop game for a bit and had just beaten it, so I deleted it.  The trouble never happened again.
    Now, it's doing it again and I'm thinking it must be another app causing it, but I can't seem to find it...and, obviously, it's out of warranty.
    Here's what happens:
    When I play anything with sound, after about 20 seconds or so, the Volume drops down so low it's almost not even able to be heard.  It does this for about 3 to 5 seconds and then it comes right back to normal.  It won't do it again unless I start a different video, song, app, etc...
    I backed up everything to my MacBook Pro, Restored it to New/Default Settings, then Restored from Backup...it did not help.  I also upgraded to the newest Version of iOS 7 when I did that...(Version 7.1.2).
    If anyone knows what the problem is or what might fix it, PLEASE Help.  It's driving me crazy!
    Thank you so much,
    Scott

    You might want to try restoring as new - without the backup - and see if that fixes it. If it doesn't fix it, you can still restore the backup and you won't lose anything but a little bit of time that you spend restoring again.
    Backup again, then restore as new, use the iPad and switch from song to song or from one app with sound to another....whatever you need to do to cause the sound issue again. If the sound issue doesn't come back, then you might assume it's something in the backup that was causing the problem. Start over and rebuild the iPad from scratch.
    If the problem does not go away when you restore as new, you can always restore the backup to the iPad again and then take it to an Apple Store and ask them to take a look at it.

  • Phone call volume drops

    This has occurred twice so far.  Either at the beginning of an incomming or outgoing call, the ear piece volume drops to almost zero.  Now it just happened in the middle of a call too.  Only rebooting the phone resolves the problem.  I'm wondering if this is something I should confront Apple with.

    Hi,
    Just purchased a 4 months old, like new, Lumia 1020.
    Call volume is ridiculous.
    I asked some acquaintances who also happen to have 1020 and they confirm the same - they all have problem with call volume being too low. Some of them started using bluetooth headset because Lumia's headset became unusable.
    Some of them changed several Lumias under warranty, only for problem to reappear again after some time.
    Soft reset, hard reset doesn't help. Signal is excellent. Protective mesh is clean. Blowing it doesn't help either.
    Now, since I didn't know that this model has such a huge and elementary problem, I wonder what should I do, except get rid of it and make someone else miserable ?
    You've put me in a bad position, Nokia...
    Didn't expect this, very disappointed.

  • Volume Drop Problem (changes depending on how held)

    The speaker volume on my iPhone changes depending on how it's being held. I surely hope this isn't considered a "feature". Held at a diagonal angle tilted backward, the volume drops considerably. It seems to play normal only when fully flat, or vertical.
    Anyone else have this problem also? I'm considering exchanging it for another.

    Don't you think it might just be a little useful to know what normally happens? I mean, you do realize that some phones sound silent when you tilt them a mm, while other phones sound almost the same no matter where you hold them. You do get that the difference in volume for the iPhone speakerphone when placed on a solid surface is much more dramatic than the changes in volume most other phones have due to placement, thus it's not something everybody thinks of right away.
    Nobody tried to tell you that the sound waves were effected by gravity and the phone would be louder if you held it over your head right?
    Read the first post again and think about it; 'speaker' refers to any sound emitting device like the 'headset', 'earpiece', or 'speakerphone speaker'...which you might even call the 'speaker speaker' or just 'speaker', regardless of how you define the parts; other people toss around the terms as if they are interchangeable. The post just says speaker.
    If you are so bright then why are you asking a question at all? You know that if you move your body and the phone at the same time the volume shouldn't change. I mean..sure gravity does make the soundwaves drop quicker and all that so when you walk up an angled driveway the phone needs to adjust the volume, but that's only a little bit...not 'considerably' right?
    Let's think for a second (or less for some of us). First, 'I was concerned some engineer mightve mistakenly thought of this as some cockamami "feature"'. Know what? It's a good idea. I wouldn't half mind a phone that could adjust the volume when I moved it to or from my ear or body. Seamlessly changing from the EARPIECE to the SPEAKER would be a great thing too. Things like switching from the bluetooth HEADSET to the SPEAKER are nice touches. I think you have an advanced model or a special feature.
    It's also a little difficult for people to know how much your phone changes in volume when they can't hear it. It's not like there's a recording or some empirical data like 'hey, when I tilt my phone at a 45 degree angle it drops 20 decibels'.
    As to 'reflected acoustics?!?!', I think the post starts with "speaker volume" and continues to 'when fully flat, or vertical'. Fully flat sounds like your phone is sitting on a table, shelf, or the floor and since I don't put my phone on a block then lay down on the floor with my ear above it to make a call I think the description sounds more like the speakerphone portion than the ear 'speaker'. Stating what the SPEAKER should do when normally performing in answer to a question should be considered informative and useful because : If you knew what the speaker was supposed to do you would not have asked.
    Yeah, you never know who is using an iPhone or posting in the forums, but it doesn't take very long to read through the posts and find the information you want when you post a clear question in the first place.
    I don't consider my phone a derogatory TLA, but if that's what you think of the product then I hope you enjoy your old phone.
    Don't let the bass fall on your foot on the way out.

  • Audio volume drops on sub-titled clips (imovie 4)

    When I place a sub-title on a video clip the volume drops considerably. When I highlight the clip and boost its volume even to the maximum 150% in an attempt to make the loudness consistent with the rest of the project, it's still not enough. Volume reductions like this occur even when I do contrast or brightness, etc. adjustments. How better boost volume with these clips that suffer volume reduction and maintain uniform audio throughout a project?

    Hello Tom
    Extract the sound of the video clip with the title and see if it makes a difference.
    This takes me back some years. I don't recall the sound dropping off to the degree you speak of though. But give it a go, you have nothing to loose !
    Cheers

  • [Problem] Ringtone volume drops automatically

    Hi all,
    from 2-3 days I'm experiencing this bug/issue: ringtone volume drops automatically, randomly and without any reason. When it happens, I start a "battle" with iPhone: I increase (with side buttons) and it decrease ringtone volume!
    I have already tried to restore and configure it as new one on iTunes, but the crazy thing is that this issue made is first appearance while I was setting language, at the beginning of initial settings!
    I have an iPhone 4S 16GB updated with FW 5.1 and I'm becoming worried, because my first phone was replaced with this one for audio issue.
    Greetz

    I'm really sorry. I don't know what else to do. I recommend from here you contect Apple. They are great at getting back to there customers really quickly. Here is the link: http://www.apple.com/support/contact/
    I hope you are able to find a solution to your problem! :)

  • Volume Drops When Skipping Song (via Lightning Adapter)

    I currently have an aftermarket iPhone connector in my car, to which I have attached a Lightning adapter.  On the road today, whenever I skipped a song (using the button on my car stereo), the volume dropped considerably for the next song.  Only when I used the "fast forward" button did the volume increase back to its normal level.  If I let the playlist go from one song to the next uninterrupted, the volume stayed as is.
    Given the sequence of the events, I am assuming it is either the phone or Lightning adapter.  While I did a hard reset, I have not had a chance to test in the car again.  However, I do not experience the same issue with regular headphones.

    Yes! Same problem here on two different iPhone 4s (mine and my wife's). If I watch the volume bar on the phones when I skip songs, it doesn't move, but the actual volume output drops to about half. Like the original poster, pause/play seems to fix it... until the next time I switch songs.
    SoundCheck is off everywhere (phones and iTunes), so no help there.
    Yet another reason to miss my 3GS, I guess...

  • Walkman Volume drops to zero when i connect a headset

    My walkman Volume drops to zero when i connect a headset. I can adjust the volume settings for media but it snaps right back to zero. When i disconnect the headphone the volume settings work again so i can listen to media like mp3. But i would like to use my headset. Any tips? 

    Hi
    I believe this has something to do with "Smart Connect" app.
    If you don't wanna check on a lot of settings, then clear the data of smart connect app ( settings > smart connect > clear data) and your phone should be working as supposed to, otherwise check on the settings and it's easy.
    Run the smart connect app > select "Music on the go" or "Music at home" ( Or any other profile to check) >Select the edit option at the bottom then check the settings if you have set the volumes to minimum when you choose to connect your headsets.
    If you find it confusing, just clear the data of app and see if it works for you.

  • AFP Volume Drop - Dismiss OK?

    We have a MacPro running 10.9.2 Server - 9 gigs of ram all latest OS and Apps version - Local Box.
    We mount a remote AFP Volume (X-Serve in a data center - 9 gigs of ram all latest OS and Apps versions)
    We Import data from remote volume into FileMaker on the Local Box.
    We have sporatic network drops, this causes the remote volume to unmount and generates a Error Dialogue box on the Local box that requires me to select OK before the Volume can be remounted.
    This finder error dialogue box prevents my remounting applscript from auotomatically remounting the remote volume with this applescript.....:((
    tell application "Finder"
              try
                        mount volume "afp://xxx.xxx.xxx.123/Name of files"
              end try
    end tell
    Is there a way to SUPRESS this diaglogue or automatically CLICK OK so my applescript can automatically remount the remote volume?
    Peace!

    Did you check the expression on the channel strip to see what it is set to? In many software instruments, expression controls the input level. Maybe expression is being sent by one of your knobs on your hardware accidentally, or you have some on screen object mapped to send expression. In the first case, you can check by leaving midi monitor open and spying on the input, to see if expression is being sent at any point...

  • IPhone music volume dropping or attenuating for notification but doesn't return to previous volume

    When playing music and videos on my iPhone, the sound drops for notification sounds such as emails etc.. but after the notification sound has played the volume does't return to the previous volume, it goes up again but its quieter than before. If I then turn the volume up I will reach the maximum without achieving the previous level. I've been having this issue since upgrading my iPhone 5s to IOS 8 on release day. My phone is always kept up to date so i'm currently running 8.1.2.
    I have this same issue when listening through headphones and blue-tooth. My colleague has an iPhone 6 and is having the same issue.
    I've discovered a way to get the volume back up, get another notification, I've emailed myself a few times recently just so I can hear my music in my car (pulling over legally!) without turning the volume right up and hoping nobody emails me and ruins my ears and speakers with one spam email.

    I have the iPhone 6 and having the same problem. It can really hurt your eardrums when the sound goes back to normal!!!!

  • Audigy 2 ZS Volume drops to z

    I've had the card a couple weeks and experienced no problems initially. Now the volume automatically drops to nothing. If I open the Surround Mixer, or even the Windows Volume Control, the Master Volume will be at the lowest point. When I try to move it back up it quickly drops back down to zero on its own (takes about three seconds). If I mute the sound the volume meter stops falling, but of course that doesn't solve my problem. If I set the output to Digital Only the volume meter stops falling also, but that doesn't help me since I don't have a digital speaker system.
    I've tried everything I can think of... removing and re-installing all the drivers, shutting down all other services, removing all inputs and outputs to the card, using just headphones. The MB on-board sound has been disabled through the BIOS since I installed the SB card. There's no other sound card drivers installed.
    My sound card is worthless unless I can get this fixed. Any ideas?

    Problem Found!
    This diagnosis probably applies to me only but its worth checking.
    The problem exists in my Creative Speakers' Remote Control (MODEL: MZ0005)
    As we all know, the volume knob spins counter-clockwise and clockwise. However, when I PUSH in the knob, I noticed the volume rises, if I let go the volume dro
    ps.
    My assumption is the wiring inside the remote control is loose or something of that nature..nothing new to anyone who works with mixers.
    I will attempt to open and fix this issue or just order a new remote control. I hope this helps anyone out there.
    P.S. I guess this belongs in the speakers forum, this is not audigy related. Peace

  • Volume drops of own accord on Ipod mini

    Hi,
    I am new to these forums and not the most technically knowledgeable person in the world so hope you can bear with me and someone can help me out.
    I have an ipod mini, just over a year old, and have in the past few days begun experiencing a problem whereby the volume just drops of its own accord while i am listening to a song. It happens all the time, the moment i press play, I will turn the volume up to almost full and the minute i let go it drops back to no sound at all. whenever i put the volume back up the same thing happens, as if it recognises i have put the volume up but doesn't 'stick'.
    I notice this happened after I put my ipod into a listening dock when i then went back to listening with headphones, however i have done this many times before and each time i put the headphones back in i just turned the volume back up and that was it.
    i have tried several pairs of headphones so know it is not the headphones that are the problem.
    has anyone else experienced this? is there anything i can do to fix it - or if not do you know if Apple will still do anything with ipod minis?
    Many thanks.

    It seems that for the present at least volume limiting is only available on the 5th Generation iPod, the Nano and the shuffle: Setting the maximum volume limit on iPod

  • Volume drop with 5c during Podcasts

    I have a 5c and have noticed over the last few weeks that when I listen to podcasts with earphones after a few minutes the volume level drops by about half. It shows as still being at full volume on the controls so I can't put it up. And if I receive a text message whilst listening then the volume resets itself.
    Anyone else had this problem or know what causes it?

  • Z30 Volume Drops

    I love my z30.  it's great, but lately I've noticed something odd.  The volume goes quiet on the entire device for some reason.  Typing noises, notifications, videos, music, etc.  I can move the individual volume controls around and it never gets loud.  I reboot the phone and all is restored for a period of time and then it start over again.  It's quite annoying as i miss notifications because of the drop in volume.
    I see there are other posts about speakers not working or in call volume. In my case all indications show that it should still be at the max, and the slides work to adjust it down even further, but i can't make it go back up to the regular volume level.
    any help would be appreciated.

    Good day
    I have no issues other then when I put my Z30 in my holster the volume controls are really sensitive
