Ipod Volume Lower !

Hi all

I am convinced by Ipod volume is getting lower..........on 1/4 setting I can hear nothing......1/2 setting I can 'just' about hear music (could not tell artist) 3/4 just about hear it.....full volume can hear it but still hear things around me !!!!

Was not sure where I need to change any thing in Itunes....I know you can get a patch to increase it mainly wondered what do other people experience on thier Ipod ???

Thanks

Mike

Nope there is nothing wrong with the Ipod, i had the same problem. I then used this programme and it made a lot of difference.

Re: Ipod Volume Lower !

Ok, Right. I posted the goPod program a while ago and it is very good but your problem is likely to be in the headphones. What ones are you using?

I had some Sennheiser MX500s, they were lovely earphones, but always seemed quiet to me anyway.

Re: Ipod Volume Lower !

Yeah, A lot of headphones do lose sound like that! I remember when it first happened to me. I thought i was going deaf!

So, yeah it was the headphones. Apple ones are also prone to losing sound so be careful.

I'm *sure* that turned out to be an urban myth, or something. Must look for the link...

The european court has something to do with limiting the volume on the ipod.

Re: Ipod Volume Lower !

Yeah, They stopped it from going above the certain volume so apple changed the firmwire to allow this, the goIpod changes a setting in the firmwire which removes this block.

Re: Ipod Volume Lower !

Yeah, watch out Sony products have this same problem.

Here's a link from El Reg referring to the mugging of people with white headphones...

Doesn't mean it's not an urban myth though ;)

The fact that the muggee said "yes, it's an iPod" can't have helped him much.
