anyone else having significantly reduced volume on 800 with final 08 os? (yesI have turned the sliders up )?

It is pretty quiet, but I don't remember how loud it was with 2007.

While listening to music, even with the at 100%, it isn't as loud as before. One thing I notice is that, if I play with the volume slider of the internet radio applet, the volume increases even more.

Try increasing the volume in the control panel first.

My volume in the control panel is always set to 100%

That depends on which app left the "secret volume control you can't adjust" turned way down last. The OS only has ONE "control", the main volume. But the stupid music players have ANOTHER FEW that the OS, itself, doesn't support! There's just no MASTER control like, well, GASP, WINDOWS has! ONE volume control in the OS is NOT enough!

Why does such a tiny device with such tiny amps and speakers need so MANY volume controls, especially ones that have NO SLIDER!

Dirty solution....REMOVE THE BATTERY, count to 10, reinsert the battery and the hidden volume control gets RESET to maximum....or what passes for maximum, whcih my not be maximum at all. It DOES restore the volume to "louder"....

Anyone know how many different volume controls it really has? I had Canola 2 on here and uninstalled it. After I ran the Canola Cleanup utility, the volume was so low you almost couldn't hear the audio. Do the battery reset to REALLY reboot the device and its hardware restores it.

Sure wish that "Master Volume" control on the home screen controlled ALL the volume controls of all the daemons AT ONCE.

What??? what would be the point of having different volume controls all controlled by one slider? You'd have no way to play things at different volumes at the same time then.

If you're concerned because there's no interface to some particular volume control, then that's a problem. But the solution is to have an interface to that volume control, or to eliminate it; NOT to make it separate, but set to the identical level...

And I just checked on my XP machine; Windows has (for my sound card) 11 volume controls for playback, as well as 7 for recording, and 4 for multi-channel balancing. And then some Windows players do have soft volume; so Windows has precisely the same situation, it just has UI for all of them.

You could try the aumix volume control. saw it in a repo somewhere....

I see there's no solution except to take out the battery.

Thanks for the suggestions but that doesn't fix anything. I tried.

Because the apps aren't written to RESET the "hidden volume control you can't adjust" upon exit, until that's fixed, it's DOOMED!

Would one of you wonderful people who write these fantastic apps for this little tablet, PLEASE, write us a simple app with ONE button on it...or no buttons at all.....RESET EVERYTHING TO MAX.

We could boot the app, press the button, and every hidden audio mixer control gets set to MAXIMUM VOLUME, then the app closes itself....overriding every app's settings ever booted before to correct this ongoing massive bug.

The damned OS needs to do this WHEN IT BOOTS! There's never enough volume, anyways, that's going to disturb the neighbors....so let's let it all hangout at bootup or when you PRESS THAT BUTTON....

Thank you to all who make the tablet so addictive....The "advanced lighting applet" added yet another layer of volume lowering uncontrol. I had to uninstall it to get some control back.

Someone PLEASE code a simple applet to FORCE all volumes to MAX!

Thaniks.

It's *****ic to turn all volume up on boot. Sometimes I actually reboot my device in a meeting or class, and it would be seriously rude to commence loud taps from the touchscreen until I turn the volume down...

The advanced backlight applet controls the standard control.

You can use Debian gnome-alsamixer with Qole's stuff; there's several volume controls that seem to do nothing, and a variety of checkboxes, and one (very high gain) volume control that lets you blast any audio to the point of distortion. While there is no program I know of that adjusts that one, have at it.

(You could also use amixer to implement what you want, but I'm sure you can figure that out.)
