My wife teaches fitness classes, and plugs the iTouch into the system at the gym. She says that sometimes the volume is really low even when the iTouch volume is maxed. Apparently turning up the volume on the system at the gym doesn't help (I don't really know). It's happening while playing music from a playlist...I'm not sure if it's every playlist, one in particular, or an intermittent thing (i.e. playlist works fine one time and not fine the next).

I've been in the settings and see that there is a volume limit (or something), and it is set to full/max. I haven't spent much time googling, but the brief moment I started to check, I saw results about low volume and the volume limit...then I checked our iTouch and saw that the limit was already set to the max. I was hoping that would be the easy fix, but now I'm puzzled.

if its just certain songs its possible that you just have crappy quality songs from limewire, etc... if you have the volume bar on the ipod itself at full blast when its plugged into the stereo its not good because it can blow out the auxillary output in the ipod. try a different stereo and headphones and if that works you know its the stereo. if none of these work than you might have blown the ipod aux output. also, maybe try a different aux cable, maybe the one youre using to hook up to the stereo is shot.

hope this helps

I *think* I may know what caused it, but I won't know until my wife uses the iTouch again. My son went into settings>music, and then the EQ and checked "bass boost." Just by listening to music with bass boost on it sounds like it kills the treble/high frequency, supposedly boosting the bass, but it really just sounds kinda dead. He said he changed the setting a couple weeks ago which is about the time my wife experienced the issue. Oh well, it's his iTouch. I guess he can do what he wants with it, but my wife uses it most of the time for her classes.

Thanks for the info. I've heard about trying to not max the volume on the ipod. I should let her know that because I'm sure she is turning everything up. A new aux cable might be something to look into as well.
