    When I'm playing music in Spotify or any app with Apple earphones or auxiliary cable in my car, I can't turn music up to full volume. It goes as far as yellow indicator and 'High Volume' but won't go into the red.

    Strange thing is it used to work a month ago, it used to go to the red. I didn't upgrade iOS or anything, I'm on jailbroken 8.1.1. I also have volume limit turned off in Music settings. I checked the earphone jack for lint and it seems clean.

    I've Googled for days and at a loss. Unless I'm using the Googles wrong, it seems I'm in the minority with this problem.

    Go into settings> music> turn off EU safe volume control.
    Hope this cures it!

    It's obviously a jailbreak issue. Try disabling add-ons until you narrow down what's causing it.

    Did you purchase your old iPod abroad by any chance? EU-sold iPhones and iPods are volume capped. They only go slightly louder than normal listening volume. Where as US-sold devices go way louder.
