External bluetooth speaker volume to low

Hello,

I have an external bluetooth speaker from jawbone called jambox. From the start on I had the normal speaker volume like I also stil have it if I connected the bluetooth speaker with my iPod touch. But some day ago, the volume from my whole Mac (not just from iTunes) dropped through my Jawbone. It is not just about 40% of that, what I know of, that the Jawbone Jambox is able to bring.

This problem exists through all audio / video programs on my Macbook Pro. So like in iTunes, also in VLC or MplayerX. Everywhere. The software sound of MacOS Lion is on maximum. Also the sound control of the jambox itself is reached. It seems like there is a protection against to high volume anywhere turned on which just do not allow me to turn up the volume beyond a specifc point of db.

But, I can only repeat: The speaker is in a good shape. I am able to play music much more louder with my iPod paired. But just not with my macbook. I am looking for a "hidden" option to disable the maximum volume limitation of my Mac to the speaker.

Would be happy if anyone know a solution for that issue...

MacBook Pro (13-inch Early 2011), Mac OS X (10.7.4), Jawbone Jambox

Hi Dude, this is easy to fix , just go to AUDIO MIDI SETUP (if you cannot find it just type it on spotlight) and increase the volumen of your bluetooth device. ..Peace!!

I was able to adjust the speaker volume in iTunes and it worked beautifully.

Same issue

Works fine on my HTC thunderbolt, Even works fine on my brothers Mac (same year and OS build).

My audio used to work fine through my bluetooth adapters but now the audio is way lower than it should be. This is a recent problem, it worked fine before. I believe an update may have cuased this, then again my brothers mac is working just fine even after the update. I even tried switching the bluetooth adapter and it still has the problem so I know its my Mac.

Please fix this issue...

Me and my brother Both have 2011 Macbook Pros, running 10.7.4 and the adapters are Blackberry adapters used to receive the audio from my mac and play through my home entertainment system via aux jack from the bluetooth adapter.
