Volume too quiet

The volume level does not seem very sensitive, when it is all the way down you can still hear it?? It doesn't increase until turned to a third of the way up? In the swimming pool I had to have it on maximum to hear it well, my older iPod was much louder, the volume limit has been set to maximum? Not very impressed to be honest :-( can someone please help

Try to find and read something about EU volume control on iPods... If you bought yours in Europe the problem may be in that, becouse EU has set volume limit on iPods !!! Many people in EU are disapinted with this limitation but that is hov things are

Microphone volume too quiet only with skype

My microphone volume is extremely quiet during calls. This is not a problem with my headset since it works perfectly fine with any other communication or recording software. I have my microphone volume and boost set to max in the recording setting and I unchecked the automatically adjust microphone option in skype's audio settings. I've also tried re-installing my sound card driver but that did not solve the problem as well. I think my microphone stopped working with skype after version 7.0. I used to just simply use a much older version of skype (version 6.5) until recently Skype decides to retire all the older versions. So now I am stuck with a skype that no longer works.An interesting thing to note is that if I uncheck "allow applications to take exclusive control of this device" in the microphone properties setting and then restart skype, my mic will be at normal volume for about a minute, then it will be extremely low again. If I restart skype again, the mic will work perfectly fine for a minute again. (I am not entirely sure why and I am not sure it works in a real call becuase I only tested this with the ecco/sound test service).Please Help!

Someone has posted this http://community.skype.com/t5/Windows-desktop-client/Help-Windows-10-Microphone-not-working/m-p/4076999#M361092 Please let us know if this fixed the microphone for you

Audio clips too quiet at max volume

After putting audio from STP into an FCP project, some friends and I turned the volume all the way up in the audio editor window. Even after doing that, however, it's still way too quiet. Is there any other way to raise the volume so that the audio is loud enough?

I have never liked that "duplicate the track" to make it louder method. When you duplicate the track, you're also duplicating the noise floor, making the background noise twice as loud, too.
If you've got the audio track open in Soundtrack Pro, use the compression plugin, or dynamics, or whatever they call it in Soundtrack (I use Cubase). Use that to bring the level up. What you'll also get with the compression plugins (not the same as video compression, don't worry about that) is it will bring the low level audio up and the high level audio down to even it out. It won't raise the noise floor as much because when audio drops below a certain level (set this right ABOVE your noise floor/room noise) it stops raising the low level audio. That way you have a more even level throughout the track. How does the mix of the announcers on the NFL on FOX always sound so good when it's live? Compression. Keep your levels in check.
So use the compression plugins to even out your sound, maxing out at about -1db. Export it.
Now, import that track into FCP and bring the level DOWN to -12ish.
Much cleaner and audio way of raising levels. Duplicating the clip to make it louder is not the way an audio facility would do it. It's a quick video guy way of doing it. It does the job, but not well.

The music on my iPod plays at normal volume but the voices are too quiet to hear

My iPod just started to play music at normal volume but the voices are too quiet to hear

If you confirmed it is not due to a problem with the headphones
- Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so. There is a little switch in the headphone jack that disconnects the speaker when the headphone jack is inserted.
Try the following to rule out a software problem
- Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack.

Hi
Welcome to the Community!
It might sound daft but have you tried a few of the different ringtones to see if any are louder?
How long have you had the devices for and where did you do the upgrades?
Thanks.

Volume Too Low on Some Headpho

I know the volume issue has been beaten to death. I bought my Zen Touch player in Canada, not in Europe. I have noticed that with the earbuds that came with the player, and with a pair of Panasonic headphones that came with a CD player I bought, the volume is fine for me.
However, I've borrowed a heavy duty pair of Sennheiser HD570 from my roomie, I have it on max volume and it's not loud enough. If I tweak around with the EQ as Creative suggests, I get a lot of distortion.
Keeping in mind I don't have an EU version of the player or EU firmware, is there any other way to increase the volume of this sucker? I'm sure it's just a software issue, so why can't those good people at Creative create a little patch with a bunch of code making the volume louder. Or failing that, is there some way to increase the volume on the Mp3s themselves?
If nothing can be done, can anyone suggest a quality pair of non-earbud headphones that won't be too quiet. I've had my eye on a pair of Sennheiser PX-00s but I don't wanna buy an expensi've set and them have them be quiet on me.

"Large headphones might well be a problem as an MP3 player might not have enough power to dri've them."
It is not the impedence or the size of the headphones, but the efficiency of the headphones that is most important, even though the built in amp will probably deli'ver more power into a lower impedence.
The Sony V6(full sized closed headphones) is also 64 ohms, yet is very efficient and can be dri'ven adequately with almost any portable. Its efficiency is 06 db/mw. The Sennheiser HD570 is quite ineficient at only 95 db/mw.
The Sony V6 is also sold under the model number 7506. The 7506 has a gold plated plug though. Otherwise they are identical. The 7506 is around $00, while the V6 is around $70. The 7506 has been a favorite headphone of radio stations and tv production for many years. It has deep bass that is not boomy or overexaggerated and natural sounding highs. As with all closed headphones, it might tend to make ones ears feel hot. One other thing about the V6. It has a straight plug, so one should use a right angle plug Y cord or right angle plug headphone extension cord and plug the straight plug of the V6 into that and not directly into the player in order to protect the jack on the player.

6710 Navigator - Loudspeaker too quiet

The loudspeaker is ok in a quiet room with no background noise but you can't use it outside or while driving (i.e. places you actually NEED it) as it is way too quiet (yes the volume is turned all the way up!). This is not right. Other Nokia phones have way louder loudspeakers. All the music and video plays loudly at an audible volume but voice calls are useless.
Nokia Care have had the phone three times and can't fix it. They just keep saying the loudspeaker is working... Yeah it is "working" but it is not practical to use.
Very frustrated. All Nokia needs to do is put out a firmware update to resolve this. Its called a LOUDspeaker not a QUIETspeaker.
Anyone else had any luck?

Exactly the same issue here! Fully updated firmware. The loudspeaker is ok in a quiet room with no noise but you can't use it outside or while driving as it is way too quiet. All the music plays loudly at an audible volume but voice calls are useless.

Katy Perry's "E.T." Video Volume Too Low

This is even after adjusting the video's properties and putting the volume to +100%.
When viewing the video the volume indicator in Windows displays a green bar... that green bar never moves above 1/8th of the volume available even when the volume slider is turned all the way up.
Volume in iTunes maxed, amplified through properties, headphone volume at max, Windows volume at max. This is the only song that gives me these issues, or I suppose I should say the only video. I have other purchased videos and they play fine... just this one plays too quietly.
Any help appreciated.

Hi there, the left hand side of the phone has the volume up and down keys that allow you to adjust the volume during a call. You can only adjust it when a call is active so try calling your voicemail and then adjusting it to a higher volume.
If this still does not work your speaker might have a lot of fluff/dust in it from being in your pocket. You can take it in to a Nokia repair centre to have it cleaned out. They might even examine and replace the speaker if it is faulty and the handset is still under warranty

Z1C TOO quiet in headhones

Dear Sony, now I'm a happy owner of a brand new Z1C and it's a really perfect gadget BUT for one thing - it's waaaay too quiet in headphones. I tried different models with different impendance and sensitivity characteristics to no avail.
I then run it through my soundcard 1/4" jack along with my Iphone 5 and Cowon D2 under following conditions:
- line input at soundcard remained untouched for all 3 devices
- volume maxed out on test subjects
- default players were used, all sound enhancers and EQs off
- 20sec of same track played and recorded in adobe audition on a separate track for each device
The resulting waveform and it's parameters are in the attached pics.
D2
IP5
Z1C
As you can see, Z1C with its volume maxed out turned out ~9 times quieter than Cowon D2 and ~3.5 times quieter than Iphone5 (as far as "percieved loudness" is concerned). But you got to be no sound engineer to tell how bad things are just by visual comparison of waveforms' amplitude...
This makes me think of 3 possible reasons:
1. I have some problems with my Z1C's audio hardware
2. The volume on Z1C is limited by its hardware
3. The volume on Z1C was somehow limited by firmware
If it's no.3 - are there any ways to get rid of those limitations and make it sound louder?
Would be thankful for any hints.
Best regards,
Denis

Hello Richdog,
I think the issue is the phone not different headphones, since the Volume is an ABSOLUTE measurement made by Denis... he probably used a 3.5mm Jack cable (line in) to plug to the computer and measure with the same audio file...
So yes, maybe better headphones sound louder and better, but they will also be even louder on the compared deviced...
I think sony did this on purpose to comply with Hearling Laws from different countries.... My Acro S is frequently displaying a Volume Warning that automatically drops the volume to about 50%... So maybe Sony put this limit as the 100% on the Z1 Compact.
I hope this can be "fixed" in a future software update.

Narration too quiet with levels maxed out

Hi! I'm trying to record narration in Premiere Elements 7 and despite my levels being maxed out, it's still way too quiet. I just purchased a Blue Snowball Ice USB mic. I also tried it with a non-USB mic and got the same result. I also tried recording through Soundbooth CS4 and it sounded the same. I've tried to adjust the levels both through Windows control panel and in the narration recorder window in Premiere but nothing helps. Any ideas?

julieoolie
Thanks for the follow up with the additional details.
From your details, this is not a Premiere Elements issue. Rather it is an issue involving
your computer sound system and equipment.
If you were stuck with a bunch of low volume narration clips from whatever source, you could consider looking at
at the the following which uses the free audio editor Audacity to increase volume (Amplitude)
Audacity tutorial:making the sound track louder, increasingthe Amplitude, or normalizing the volume levels
Audacity: Free Audio Editor and Recorder
Then you export the volume adjusted clips from Audacity (.wav or .mp4) and import them into the Premiere Elements project.
But, the focus would appear to be on the system volume settings for recording and speakers. So, I am not sure if there is any
merit in working with Audacity in a sound flawed system. You could try.
There is a maneuver in Premiere Elements that you could look at when you have the audio clip volume at max 6 dB and the volume is not loud
enough. Make copies of the audio clip and place the copies directly above one another on the audio tracks. Keep stacking them until
you get the increased volume that you want.
Please review and consider and then we decide what next.
Thank you.

Airplay volume very quiet with Pioneer amp suddenly.

I have a Pioneer VSX-2021 amp which has built in airplay. I'd been using it for several months with no problems now suddenly it is very quiet. I have to turn the volume up to maximum to just about hear the song that is playing. The amp volume is fine for everything else (internet radio, films, CDs etc) airplay is the only thing is effected. It is the same if I airplay from my phone or from itunes the volume is too quiet. I've been searching all over for why this is happening but it seems no one else has this problem. I can't understand why it is so quiet as it all used to work fine and at normal volume. Anyone else come across this problem or have an idea how to fix it?
Just to reiterate:
1. Used to work perfectly from itune or iphone
2. Still plays fine from iphone or itunes just increadable quietly
3. Amp volume is fine for any other input including playing songs from dlna server and internet radio

This problem has been resolved by doing a factory reset of the VSX-2021 amplifier.

Old iPod (2nd Gen) too quiet.

Hi, can anyone help.
I've recently acquired an early 2nd Generation iPod and it works great but it's just too quiet.
I seem to remember when I had a first gen iPod years ago there was an easy way to uncap the volume but I just can't recall how I did it.

If you have an older iPod you can use goPod to remove the cap on iPods that have this EU volume limitation.

W100: speakers too quiet - fan too loud

Hello,
i am using the w100-10d and i am not amused about the loudness concerning the fan and
the speakers. The fan is too loud and the speakers are very quiet.
Is anybody there, who can give me some informations about the speakers and their configuration ?
In Windows 7 and in the Toshiba Conf. Panel the loudness is on max. level, but the sound is too quiet.
Perhaps Toshiba is estimating all users are using the headset ?
Thanks

>Is anybody there, who can give me some informations about the speakers and their configuration ?

This Libretto is an kind of tablet PC an small 7 display device I dont know what speaker loudness do you expect but you will not get the same loudness like on 15 notebook equipped with bigger speakers.
Furthermore the speakers are mono and not stereo.
By the way; the sound can be configured in control panel -> sound
Check if all volume controls are set to top.
