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.

It is kind of weird. you have to push the up and down arrow on the menu keys to adjust the volume and can only be done when in a call. I bought this for my dad and he was wondering the same thing. There might be another way around it but I haven't seen one.

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.

Thanks Wagner. I will set it that way and see if anything changes over the next day or two and post back here.So much for a day or two, I just tried it and it is very loud now. Mine wasnt refurbished, I bought it new in the package. Werid bug for sure.

there are actually two ways to adjust the volume. 1) by using the plus/minus buttons on the speaker. 2) adjusting the volume coming into the speaker from your device I.e. computer

There are two ways to control volume. The blue tooth volume of device or there is a switch on the side of the Plantronics that cycles thru low to high in increments

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

Lol. That happened to me too. You need to plug in both the usb cable and speaker/headphone cable into the laptop for it to work. Additionally there's a volume control button on the cord itself. If you think that it's playing too softly, that's because the volume is not turned up all the way. Trust me it plays pretty loud for such small speakers.

That happened to me with the thumb drive. I cranked to volume up to right before its too loud for the speakers or earphones. Then it is fine on other mediums. Its still not like what you get from the overproduced music today but you hear the warmth natural sound of the record.

If you're still hearing sound from the nano's internal speaker, that would tell me that the connection has not been made. Once it's connected, the internal speaker is disabled.

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.

Don't know about the Nano, doesn't change track with iPod 3rd generation, or with iPhone 3GS, or iPad, starts and stops music, adds bass, and has volume control, have no idea how it would change tracks. Sorry if this doesn't help.

Yes I have had the same problem. I think that it has to do with the AUX music device it's hooked up to, phone, iPod etc.... I haven't had it do that when I've used the built in radio. I believe if you go into the volume control of the device your using there should be a setting for that. Hope that helps&#128522;

I found this same issue and resolved it. If you switch between bypass mode (to listen to music without noise cancellation) then to Normal mode, the headphones put the volume all teh way down so that you can't hear your music. You simply have to turn the volume up in Normal mode to listen to music. These headphones work much better than my old folding PXC-250 Sennheiser headphones.

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.

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 know that it has a volume adjust. It's hard to say. You might have a level turned down somewhere on you audio chain.
