Hi,

I am running Logos for Mac 4.5a (4.51.0.2048), I noticed all the Midi Hymns in Logos are played too softly. Please note that Logos for Windows on the same version runs perfectly with Windows 7 under Parallels 7 on the same MacBook Pro.

Are there any workaround(s)

PS: I notice Quicktime 7 has the same Midi Volume issue, however, most other 3rd party MIDI players runs OK on OS X Lion.

    Curious about System Preferences for Sound, especially output volume level ?

    KS4J,

    I set it to 50% volume, the 3 scenarios below runs on my MacBookPro 17"

    1. When I click "Play" on the "Text to Speech" Preference, Tom speaks normally at say 50%
    2. I start L4W running Windows 7 under Parallels 7.0, Pick Steve Greens Midi, Amazing Grace, Volume is the same as (1) above
    3. Now, I start L4M, Pick Steve Greens Midi, Amazing Grace, Volume is audibly 0 in comparison to (1) & (2)

    PS: Quicktime has the same issue, my point was most 3rd parties players play correctly ... may be Logos can do something about it.

    LimJK, are you saying audio from Quicktime is also inaudible?

    I don't think Quicktime is a culprit… 

    I performed this test and with my audio levels full, the Logos hymnal plays ok. At half volume (Mac settings), the midi files are almost inaudible. 

    FWIW - I normally listen to netflix at about 75%.

    NOTE: This is for my MacBook Pro

    Have you tried playing this with headphones, or only using your built-in speakers?

    Speakers only.

    Could you perhaps try testing this with headphones as well? It could help us narrow down the source of the issue. Based on the previous posts, it sounds like it might be an issue with the internal speakers / how those work with Lion. Thanks!

    Hi,

    Just like to note that the same issue exist in Logos Bible Software 4.5c (4.53.0.2254)

    I use only Build-in speakers; Headphone sort of masks the bug ... looks like it is an issue with Quicktime on Lion. As mentioned in my much earlier posts other Midi Player works fine.

    Thanks LimJK. As you say, this appears to be an issue with QuickTime on Lion. However, I have created a case for it.

    I have heard back and, as this is an issue with QuickTime on Lion, we will not be addressing it. Thank you.
