Exit, go back to Flashcards, volume here is now 25% (why?). Start playing a video, it shows volume=0% now (why?), so I turn it up to 25%. Go to home screen, set volume=50% (up from 25%). It doesn't seem to be just the app: sometimes the YouTube app shows the gray overlay, even when its own slider is visible! Is this visual distinction supposed to be useful to me? It seems like it might be, but I haven't figured out the pattern yet.Ĭan anyone explain to me how this is supposed to work? Or is there any official documentation on how the volume controls work?ĮDIT: Example: I go to Flashcards, set the volume to 0%. Or is it per-app and per-headphones/speaker?Īnother aspect that confuses me: when setting the volume, sometimes I get the Mac-style gray icon overlay, and sometimes it uses a round slider in the app itself.
One thought was that maybe the volume control is per-app, but that doesn't seem to always be true, either. I can't figure out quite how it works, though. That is, two separate volume settings, one for the speaker and one for the headphones, and it uses the correct one depending on whether there's something plugged in.Īfter a while, I found that it doesn't work this way.
Does ivolume work on ipod mac os x#
For the iPod Touch, having a speaker, running "OS X", and using the Mac OS X semi-transparent gray volume icon overlay, I figured it'd be just like my Mac. I've owned (pre-iOS) iPod, and they were easy: there's one volume setting. How's the volume control work on an iPod Touch (iOS 4)? I always seem to surprise myself when I discover that the volume is up when I assume it's down, or vice versa. OK, I'm going to sound like an idiot for asking this, but.
