Imac or apple users, important audio problem

[daft07]

Users, important audio problem. the last update 10.4.9 on the imac. There is to be a problem after installed it. this has never happened to me. the reason is i seem to have found out my imac seems to louder than before, i can lower it with my own none apple speakers. i can't to find a solution to lower the audio sound on my imac speaker. plus i already lower to one 1 dot volume. Does anyone have this unexpected issue. i hate what apple has to done this last update, they better fix this by the weekend.

I have the same problem. Now i have to turn off the speaker completely when i use my computer in the morning because that is just too loud for even the first bar. I agree with you that Apple MUST fix this asap.

Mac OS X 10.4.9 (#10): Reducing system volume; Quicken: .Mac backup failure (cont.)

[For complete coverage of Mac OS X 10.4.9 troubleshooting issues, see our special report]

Reducing system volume We continue to report on a situation where the system volume scale is significantly louder under Mac OS X 10.4.9. The same volume setting under Mac OS X 10.4.9 represents a much higher actual volume relative to earlier releases of OS X.

As previously reported, the opinion on this change is split, with some users seeing the volume increase as a significant improvement -- allowing higher volume than was previously accessible -- while others see it as a problem -- making even the lowest volume setting too loud for some purposes, and eliminating the lower range of volume.

MacFixIt reader Michael Henderson offers an AppleScript that can set the volume to levels lower than can be accomplished by tweaking of the slider.

Open Script Editor (located in /Applications/AppleScript) and enter the following:

tell application "System Events"
tell process "System Preferences"
set volume 0.01
end tell
end tell

then click the "Run" button. Modify the variable "0.01" to set volume at the desired level.

I'll post it here just in case MacFixIt pushes the article off of public access.

Wow, that's pretty interesting. I didn't think that you'd be able to modify the max volume setting via software.
