New problem - volume Sometimes when I turn on my Nano, the volume is very loud. Even when I turn it down to the lowest setting, it's blasting in my ear. I can literally set the headphones down on my lap and hear the music like a boom box. Other times the volume control is normal - I can lower the volume all the way down until I hear nothing.What gives? Is there some setting that I may be changing on accident? This is really annoying.

I have retuned 3 nano's for this problem. The nano sometimes doesn't recognize that the headphones are plugged in. The volume contol then changes the volume of the speaker but the headphones get full volume. If you cover the headphones you will be able to hear the nano speaker change volume with click wheel control. I called Apple and they say this is a hardware problem but said there weren't many people reporting the problem and I was just having bad luck. This happened less when I used different headphones, so the problem may be with the earbuds that come with the nano.

I am not sure because I returned mine, but what about just setting the volume down to its' lowest level which may be off.

I don't remember it being too low, It was usually too loud for my taste and comfort, perhaps there's a malfunction with the volume button in general?

Your wrong about this my friend! I have used a Sony Walkman of sort for 6 years. It does have a volume control Just above the center control button is an arrow pointing up, while the music is playing press that arrow and the volume will go up. If you want to turn it down, press the arrow at the bottom of the main button. This unit is the best there is on the market. I have had no problems what so ever with the units that I have purchased from Amazon.

I am having the same problem (I hadn't noticed the volume level though). Anyone have any ideas?

I've had that problem myself but it seems sporadic. It can be frustrating . It almost seems it has a warm up period. After I play music for a while , it seems to stop doing this. I'm not the only one saying this . Some of the people who gave reviews on Amazon have this same problem . So it seems not to be a defect. If it is , there are quite a few defective speakers out there.

I get the same sound volumn from both my laptob and Kindle Fire (tablet). Don't think it is a defect- (although I guess anything can be defective) I do have the Kindle Fire sound adjusted to its loudest also and then the bot just makes that even louder and better. Have you adjusted the tablet volumn to be at its loudest on the cell and tablet? Then use the bot volumn to go softer or louder. Happy holidays and hope this helps. (P.S. I don't use it for my cell- so cannot comment on that other than my suggestion)

There is no volume adjuster included within the cord of the headphones, so the headphones will go as loud or as soft as the device settings permit. I can say that the loudest setting is not as loud as one would think. I believe it was meant to be that way.

There are volume control buttons on the speaker. You can also control the volume from your device (MP# player, phone, tablet, etc.)

Hi - Have you consulted the manual? If it did not come with a manual, you can always find one online. I have not heard of this problem before. When you try to play it out of the speakers, make sure you have the headphones removed from the jack. Also look for a master volume control.

You control the volume with your iPod. There is no volume control on the speaker. You also can't play the speaker through the USB connection while it is charging.

Check your settings to see what your "increased" volume is set to (you'll have to read the manual to find out where to set it). If you already have the volume set to be loud for lower speeds but your "increased" volume is set to a lower level (mine came set at "1", which is the lowest level) it will change to that lower level at a higher speed.Hope this helps.

It looks like the volume can be turned down to low. The directions say it has "volume control for quieter play".

I might be getting noise from having your settings too high. Try turning everything down all the way except the volume and see if it goes away

Sorry, I can't help you there. I have not experienced such a problem. Sounds to me like you have a bad unit. I use my "mini" to do small group gigs. I hook it on my waist and it adds that little boost to carry the sound. I have never tried to play it at a loud setting. Frankly, I'd send it back and get another one to replace it. I still like my Danelectro.

It's loud, right? How to adjust the volume depends on the system you have (PC or Mac?) Go into your system preferences (for Mac uses) or your Control Panel (for PC users) and go to your Sound thumbnail and bring down the MASTER VOLUME. There is no actual physical volume control on the speaker itself. Hope that helps.

Hi James your comments were a Very Nice Surprise Thank YOU very much :-)I have also discovered that the reason I noticed the volume was a bit low was because I had the attenuator switch on the back in the wrong position because once I switched I noticed the volume increased which solved the low volume problem.I would post that online for others but I don't know how, sorryRegards, Gordon
