Ipod classic 6th generation output level too high

Right, something is very wrong. It must be either it is a SW or HW problem. I am able to adjust the volume and I hear some different, but not that much, because it is already very loud. And if I am in the EQ settings, I am able to adjust another -24db in the preamp settings. With this setting I am able to hear like before the modification. But still I cant go to zero. So for listening in bed it is still a little bit too loud with the additional -24db.

I am from the HW side, so yes, it could be something wrong in the HW. I will double check and let you know. Thank you for your help so far.

You are using the headphone jack and not line out correct?

So I have to use the headphone jack, but even with -60db it is way to loud to listen. </snip>

It isn't impossible that there's some hardware variant of the iPod Classic that we haven't yet seen, substitution of hardware in mass assembly lines isn't entirely unheard of, but I would think it to be unlikely.

Of course, the acid test, would be to restore the original firmware and see if the issue presents itself there as well.

If it does, since the original firmware is wiped out completely on the iPod Classic variants (since dual-boot isn't currently supported the freemyipod team wipes out the firmware partition on the disk to recovery ~200MB or so of space for the user), you will have your definitive answer.

Restoring the original firmware on an iPod Classic is a very trivial business. Simply force the device into DFU mode as you did for the initial install, and plug the device into your host system with iTunes running. iTunes should detect the "damaged" iPod firmware, and offer to restore the device.

If this does not happen, please let us know so we can help you to work around this.

Hi folks, thank you for having the idea to install the original OS back again. With that everything works finde. The volume is like it should be. I would let the original OS on it, but instead of having 256GB (because of SD card) I have only 127GB. And because I cant live with that, I would like to have Rockbox on the Ipod. If you have any idea how I can control the volume, that would be very great...

Unfortunate nobody seams to have an idea about my problem. I guess the only solution is to put back the original software and use a 128GB SD card. Thank you for your help so far ...
