I have had my 5G ipod video for a little over a year and I have noticed that it seems to be loosing volume. I know it sounds weird but when i turn it all the way up it is not nearly as loud as it use to be. I often plug it into a tape player so it can play over my stereo and even when i turn my stereo all the way up it still is quiet. I know that this is a new problem because i never use to be able to turn my stereo up that high without shaking my walls! Is there anything to do? has anyone else had this problem? I don't drop it and it has a great protective case. It spends a lot of time in my glove box of my car plugged into my car stereo deck. I don't see how this could affect the volume.
Are you sure it is not just your headphones. I thought I was having the same problem with my iPhone, I took it to the Apple Store and they replaced the earbuds and the volume I lost came back. TEG
I already tried that. I have the earbuds that the ipods come with as well as the sony earbuds and they both have the volume issue. As well as the tape thing I plug into the earphone hole on the ipod. So my conclusion is that it is an issue with the ipod.
try going into settings and than volume limiter it may be down. I have notes this to but not as dramatically as you say.
