@DigitalDenizen

I did some actual googleing and it could be a few 'features' causing this to happen.

https://www.tekrevue.com/tip/windows-reducing-system-volume/

It could also be because of driver issues on your on board sound card..

But using a DAC/AMP with optical out will bypass that most likely anyways because you will have a driverless setup.

 

Because getting blocked wasn't bad enough

 

Just noticed my $13 one that was pending is also rejected. I'll be giving him a little nasty gram. what an ash hole, prob ran out of funding with those over the top bonuses.

 

Yeah, I emailed him too. His TO is going to take a plunge thats for sure. Douche.

 

You aren't using @ChrisTurk's script? (I haven't actually done them yet but I assume that you accidentally submitted the hit.. right?)

Code:

// ==UserScript==
// @name         M - Survey Tool
// @version      1.0
// @namespace  https://turkerhub.com
// @description  This will seek out and destroy surveys that have the stupid URL parameter mistake and fix it so you can click the link w/o fiddling with the address all the time. It'll also prevent "oopsie" submissions on the default survey template.
// @author       ChrisTurk
// @include      /^https://(www|s3)\.(mturkcontent|amazonaws)\.com/
// @grant        GM_log

// ==/UserScript==

if ($( 'body:contains(CLICK HERE TO TAKE THE SURVEY!)' ).length) { _fixURL(); }
verifySurveys();

function _fixURL() {
    console.log('this survey link may be broken, lets give it a gander and buy it a goose');
    $('a[href*="qualtrics"]').each(function(){ // not necessary to do this.. but why not
        var url = $(this).attr('href');
        if (!/\?/.test(url)) {
            console.log('url parameter is wrong, lets fix it');
            var newUrl = url.replace(/&/, '?'); //we can be lazy and do it this way because regex will only find and replace the first match. if you added a g after the /&/ it'd replace them all - don't do that here.
            $(this).attr('href', newUrl);
            console.log($(this).attr('href'));
       } else {
            console.log('url is fine');
        }

    });
}

function verifySurveys() {
    // lets poke around and see if this HIT is likely to be a survey, and if so prevent autosubmission & nasty mistakes that may cost us a rejection
    if ($('#surveycode').length !== 0) {
        console.log('boy howdy we got ourselves a regular ol fashioned mTurk survey right chere boyyy lets prevent ourselves from autosubmitting this varmint');
        $('#surveycode').attr('required', true); // gee that was easy.. wonder why mTurk never thought of this incredibly complex and genius solution :rolleyes:
    }

}

He was already blocking people so it isn't like his TO can get any worse.

Thanks for the information and research but that doesn't seem to be an issue. When I first installed Linux and maxed my volume a dialog box came up warning me that this might harm the speakers and basically "Idk if I would do this shit were I you" which I clicked through and no problems. I can also boost the volume higher in certain applications like VLC where I can boost it past 100% so it seems to be some arbitrary restriction.
