GarageBand very quiet?

I have to turn up my volume insanely high to hear my tracks in GarageBand. Even with sliders and EQ maxed, even clipping, it is still very quiet compared to other audio on my MacBook. Music through iTunes, YouTube, or Soundcloud all sound at perfectly correct volume.

This included midi computer instruments aswell as recorded audio.

Stuck on this, appreciate the help.

Why does Music play significantly quieter than everything else in Montery 12.6.7? What causes Music to play significantly quieter than everything else? When using QuickTime, youtube.com and all other programs & streaming services, the volume is always twice as loud as Music on my MacBook Air 2020 (M1). If the volume is set to 50% music only plays at 25%. I've ran diagnosis however there no problem in the system. This didn't happen until more recent times & it's extremely annoying. And I cannot increase Preamp to increase the volume output because that causes sources to go from Green & Amber, to Red which causes major issues with distortion of audio output.

GarageBand recognizes MIDI Oxygen Pro but no Sound I am using a MacBook Pro 13" early 2015 with macOS Monterrey 12.6.1. I have recently bought a keyboard controller M-Audio Oxygen Pro 61 and I am connecting both of them using the USB cable, but unfortunately, GarageBand is not playing any sound though it receives MIDI input. I know that MIDI input is being recognized because I have run the Audio MIDI Setup utility, including the MIDI Studio and the Test Setup option. When I release the key, there is an arrow that shines. Additionally, every time I am pressing a key in GarageBand I see that the Software MIDI track shows a green line that fades when I release the key. It even displays the name of the note or chord I am pressing. However, I am not able to hear any sound, whatever the instrument I am selecting. If I unplug the keyboard controller and open the app with it, there is a virtual keyboard and this time there is a sound that can be hear. I would appreciate your help.

Music App on Mac computer is quieter recently Has anyone else noticed that since their recent Mac system update, the Music app has been quieter than it used to be? For example, if I preview an audio file on my computer (by navigating to the file and clicking the play button), the volume will be quite a bit louder as opposed to when I play the song in the Music app. Very annoying issue. Even if you turn the volume setting (top right hand corner of Music app) all the way up, the songs just aren't as loud as they used to be using the Music App on Mac. I'm finding that I have to turn my speakers up much louder than I used to, even compared to playing songs off Youtube in Safari. Also, the volume will occasionally "jump" up, especially when you first start playing a song. Apple, can you please try to fix this bug?
