Volume levels in iPod...

Hi all.
I'm having some volume issues with my iPod. Within iTunes, I have the Sound Check enabled, but when songs are played on my iPod the songs are in fact not at the same level. What gives?
This is very annoying because I usually go to bed with music playing through my iPod (and a set of speakers). Some songs are 'low' so I turn the volume up, but when a song comes on that has a 'higher' level it gets real loud and makes a peacful transistion to sleep difficult .
Anyone have any ideas what I'm doing wrong or what setting I'm not using to truly achieve a consitent level of volume on all songs?
Thanks in advance.

I'm sorry Chris, I misunderstood...
You're probably right, I don't think I have Sound Check enable on the iPod (i thought you meant within iTunes) Let me check and I'll let you know.
Thanks.

  • Volume levels on IPod Classic

    I don't know if anyone else has experienced this, but the early generation IPods I have had all played music louder in my cars than the later version Nanos, IPhones, ITouches, etc.  I know this because with my Gen 2 IPod Classic (wasn't called Classic then) I listened to my music at volume level 48 and it played as loud as I like it.  With my IPhone, ITouches and Video Nanos, I turn it up to 58 and it's still not as loud as the Classic.  And, yes, I have the sound limiter all the way up, and I have kept sound check settings cosntant.  Were the early Classics known for reproducing louder sound vo

  • Increasing volume levels from Ipod

    I have loads of AAC & MP3 files loaded on my Ipod but the volume levels are too low when played through the car AUX is there a way to increase the volumes before or after they download to the Ipod.

    If you boost the volume of the songs in iTunes, you must then sync the iPod to iTunes once again in order to reflect the changes. If you have done this and still cannot hear a difference, then there is something amiss.
    Same with iPod Volume Boost. It matters not that the iPod was manufactured for the European market, it should works with all iPods.
    It work with two iPods in our family that were purchased in the USA.

  • SAME VOLUME LEVELS ON IPOD MINI...

    Is there in any way transferred music from itunes to ipod be played on the same volume level?..my itunes plays it in all on the same level but when i transfer it ipod it changes...
    thanks for any help guys...
    :>

    The question is how does the iPod Mini play songs at the same volume - in other words how do you avoid having to turn the ipod up and down when playing files back as some songs will be played back louder than others.
    iTunes has a facility called 'Soundcheck' which adjusts song playback levels so that all songs are the same volume. The iPod does not seem to have this facility and it can be annoying.
    Any help with this issue would be appreciated

  • How do I get the volume on my ipod classic to the same level for all songs?  Some are louder than others.

    How do I get the volume on my ipod classic to the same level for all songs?  Some songs are a lot lower than others.

    Coverflow in iTunes is sorted by Album Artist whereas coverflow on the iPod classic is sorted by Artist. Unfortunately, there is no way to set this on your iPod. This is such a fumble on Apple's part that I'm beginning to think they're becoming another Microsloth with buggy firmware and products.

  • My 10G iPod-Volume Levels Erratic + Freezing...HELP!

    Admittedly, I have a 3 year old 10G iPod. But I'd prefer to getting it working well if I can instead of junking it for a new model. We've been through a lot together...ha ha
    The problem with mine is that the volume levels jump in-between songs pretty often. I will be listening to it on the bus and then suddenly a new song will start at a mind-numbingly LOUD level, even though I have not touched the pad. At first I attributed it to how albums are randomly mastered at different volume levels, but I generally make a point to equalize them before loading onto the iPod. I also have the sound check function clicked ON.
    Anyone heard of this problem? any suggestions?
    It will also freeze playing occasionally, even though the song timer continues to play out. I'd say this happens every 20 songs or so. What's that about?
    Should I try to revert back to factory settings? Or should I just throw in the towel?

    Hi, i bought my Ipod touch 8g last week, now, when i play my music ( without earphones ) the volume is very low even though it is on full, in fact its pretty useless, it was much louder, has anyone got any ideas please? Thanks.

  • Why is the volume level different from song to song in iTunes & on iPod?

    When I play back songs in iTunes and most of all on my iPod the volume level is different depending what songs I am listing to. The biggest problem is with the songs that I get from my CD’s because the volume is very low. Why does this happen and can I fix it? Thanks, Robert

    iTunes uses a feature called "SoundCheck" to attempt to equalize playback volume. There are actually 3 Sound Checks: 1 is for iTunes playback (set in Preferences), 1 is for iTunes burning (set on the Burn Disc dialog), and 1 is for iPod playback (in iPod Settings).
    Make sure they are all enabled.
    They are far from perfect, but they should help.

  • Volume level on my Ipod Nano

    I bought two iPods nano for my daugthers, after load both iPods the volume level is not the same in both, is there a setting to be modified in order to get the same level of volume in the second one?

    Go to Settings>Volume Limit and make sure the triangle is in the same place for both (the end if no limit is set). If it's the same, make sure that you use identical settings and audio conditions when comparing the two, and then try with a different set of headphones. If there's still a difference, then the one with the low volume might need to be sent back to Apple

  • Sound check (volume leveling) not working newest ipod

    Dear Apple community,
    Thank you for your help with this problem.
    I am extremely disappointed with my new iPod. I have been using iPods for 15 years. Many years ago I solved the problem with volume leveling by using a fantastic program called iVolume. I have over 25,000 songs (collected over 20 years) in my music library and I have never had a problem with the different sound levels when I play them back through my various Ipods and Iphones over the years.
    Unfortunately when I recently purchased the latest generation of iPod I quickly found out that volume leveling no longer works.   The discrepancy in the sound playback is most apparent when I use the bluetooth connection but is also present even when I play through the audio jack.  I have tried turning sound check on and off, and have done a complete reboot of my ipod, and have not seen any difference.
    Any help with this problem would be most appreciated. 
    Sincerely,
    David Rojer

    Nevermind I worked it out. Just had to restart iTunes. Classic IT Crowd: "Have you tried turning off and on again?". Lol.

  • Ideal ipod volume level for vehicle use?

    what is the ideal volume level to have your ipod at when used in your vehicle, considering volume control would then be controlled from the vehicles head unit? clear signal and sound quality are my concern. thanks.

    It depends on far more information than you are giving.
    How is it connected up to to the head unit?
    Eith some connections, teh volume of the iPod is self is irrelevant and makes no difference.
    I have mine connected thru a cassette tape adapter.
    I set the iPod to about 2/3 way up. This seems to eliminate any distortion/static caused by the head unit trying to amplify too small of a signal (thereby boosting the noise also).

  • Having trouble setting up the volume on my ipod...

    when i put on the sound check on on my pod it really knocks the volume way down, and i find if i boost the volume to my music tracks in my itunes settings {even with sound check off} that a certain percentage of my volume control {roughly the last ten percent} on the slider doesn't work... its as if itunes is trying to keep all my music at the same volume even with sound check switched off, even after i have manually boosted the volume on my music... is it me? is there a way round this? ideally i just want to boost the volume on my music and have it all play out at roughly the same volume, but it doesn't quite seem to work... any help would be much appreciated???

    if i boost the volume to my music tracks in my itunes settings {even with sound check off} that a certain percentage of my volume control {roughly the last ten percent} on the slider doesn't work..
    Correct, using that method all you do is make it so that the maximum volume on the iPod is reached before the volume bar is at full.
    For example, if you increase a track's volume in iTunes by +100% then when it's on the iPod you will find that that track hits it's maximum volume level at about half volume, and turning the iPod up to full volume will not increase the volume any higher after this point. A track which has not had it's volume altered in iTunes will reach exactly the same sound level, although of course you will need to turn the volume level of the iPod to full in this instance.
    All iPods manufactured for the European market have a volume cap applied to them. It's a European directive from those nice people in Brussels who make sure we can't damage our delicate little ears.
    If you have an older iPod you can use goPod to remove the cap on iPods that have this volume limitation. That should make your iPod maximum volume louder.
    The soundcheck option will lower the volume on your iPod somewhat in order to level out the volume of different songs. There are 3rd party programs that do this more effectively (at least in my opinion).
    For Windows there is mp3/aacGain.

  • How can a consistent volume level be set for all the songs in an iTunes library?

    The volume of the songs in my iTunes library varies significantly when played on my iPod.  Is there any way of setting a consistent/equal volume for the songs in my library so that I don't have to change the volume level when listening to my iPod?

    I have used the $30 iVolume utility to equalize my iTunes song's volume for several years and it works well. I just wish it worked for music videos.  iVolume is available on the Mac  App Store, or you can try before you buy at the developer's site: http://www.mani.de/en/ivolume/index.html

    Hi saiyed adil, 
    Thank you for contributing to the Apple Support Communities. 
    It appears that your iPhone 5s sometimes produces low sound, but a restart corrects it. 
    It can take some time to isolate and resolve intermittent issues like this one, and I'd recommend going through the steps in this guide the next time it occurs:
    If you hear no sound or distorted sound from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch speaker - Apple Support

  • Is there any "mechanical" helper to get my volume levels the same?

    I create playlists from ratings,(and comments),- and albums have different volume levels. As I always use my ipod to go to sleep, it is very destructive, to not be able to hear my music one minute, and then have it much too loud the next.
    Is there ANYTHING, free or chargeable, physical or software, that can help me get my itunes library to all the same volume level. My problem is agrivated by the fact that I do have some shared downloads, and also someone put my vynils onto cd for me, but at a lower volume.
    I might add, that I'm still a learner on the computer. I have been told to change the soundcheck -playback -preferences -itunes. I have tried it, ticked and unticked - it doesn't make any difference.
    I'd be very gratefull for some advice. Please HELP, this has been going on for ages. Thank you, in anticipation.

    I'm SO very grateful for your help! Have downloaded it, and have started to use it, but havn't listened to results yet.(just about to) THANKYOU SO MUCH.
    Thankyou so much again, this could be the end of a long (negative) era!
    A bit later: have listened to a little, seems a huge amount better. will update when used properley.
    I'm anticipating some being way out. Though it says it can overcome old changed volume levels, is it best in your opinion, to put them back to original setting?
    Many Best Wishes Vonnie

  • I locked my volume level, and forgot the code to unlock it, so how can i get my volume back to normal without a code??

    About four years ago I set the volume lock on my ipod to half way up. To do that, you enter a four number code. I decided to change the code one day, and then ever since then i can not remember the code. I would like to remove my volume lock from half way, so that i can turn it up to max volume, but to do this it is asking for the old four number code, which i don't remember! So how can i take this volume lock off without knowing the code??? I tried to reset all settings, but that did not remove the volume lock. Please help me figure out how to achieve full volume level!
    Thanks.
