4s and BT headset: much lower max volume than on 4?

Hi.
I noticed on my new 4s phone that the volume level on the plantronics BT headset is much lower than I used to have on the 4.
This is generally not a big issue when beeing in a quiet area, but in a car very difficult to understand. Even on max volume, I hardly can't hear.
it wasn't that loud before that one has to implement some sound limitation, but at least it was easier.
Anyone else noticed that?

I have the same problem with my E65 and both of my Logitech Freedom headsets (versions 5 and 8). Although the volume problem is annoying, there is a more serious problem where after a while you hear the other party very loud and distorted, while the other party does not hear you at all anymore. Only way to solve this is to reboot (switch off and on) the phone. The headsets work perfectly on my 2 other Nokia phones, one 6021 and one other I don't remember the model number.
My only resolution is to buy a new headset, any recommendations for troublefree use?

    I've recently spilt a little bit of water on my Macbook Pro 13" and some of it went into the keyboard, the first thing I did was get paper towels and dry it off, everything is except now the speakers sound different, and a little bit lower in volume, basically the speakers just sound weird, there's no word to describe it, I can't really hear any bass from my speakers

    Liquid spills, why your MacBook chassis is a one-way valve for spills
    After a substantial spill many people will turn their notebook upside down and shake it, not only does this not work, but it spreads liquid havoc throughout your machine and makes things often as bad as possible.
    The keyboard itself acts like a one way valve in the case of a substantial liquid spill. While liquid pours into the bottom chassis easy, it does not come out easily at all, and in the case of any spill, most of it will not come out by turning it upside down. Disconnect all power and contact Apple for diagnostics and repair.
    Do not attempt to, after a spill, ‘dry out your MacBook’ and test it
    After a spill most people invariably try to “dry out” their notebook by various methods, including hair dryers and otherwise. This both does not work, and after a substantial spill of any magnitude, even if the liquid was water, residue is left behind.
    There are additionally many very tight places inside your notebook where liquids will linger for a very long time, and cause corrosion or worse.
    Immediately unplug your notebook and contact Apple for in shop diagnostics and parts replacement.
    In the case of very minor spills people will “dry out” their notebook and feel success that their notebook is working ok, however invariably in nearly all instances after 4-14 days an error / fault pops up and is usually followed by more.
    In case of a spill, damage estimates are impossible,.....anything can be fixed, without question.......the question is cost.
    contact Apple for in shop diagnostics and cost estimation ....possible parts replacement.  

  • Arena Headset - Goes to max volume on Windows 7 x64

    I recently purchased an Arena USB headset for my new Core i5 rig. The install went smooth, however I noticed that while listening to iTunes or playing games the volume for the headset would got to max vol. on its own. Using the windows volume controls, or buttons on the headset control temporariily lower volume. As soon as you stop trying to lower the volume, it shoots back up to max.
    I installed the new "beta" drivers off creative, but these sounded horrible.
    My current drivers are
    Driver Provider: Creative
    Driver date: 7/20/2009
    Driver version: 1.0.18.0
    I installed the Arena set on my Windows 7 x32 laptop and it works great, no problems with volume control.
    I've removed and reinstalled the drivers 3x already, and yes, they are the x64 versions. Please help. I'm thinking the x64 drivers do not function correctly.

    Nobody out there has this problem? Tech support didn't help. I got the "install the updated drivers" advice. Yup, I've done that, several times. My only fix has been to leave it at max volume and turn down the volume in each of my games. Nice; I'm contemplating getting rid of these. It's a shame because they sound really good and are comfortable.
    Oh, when I try to manually update the driver to the path where the x64 driver are installed, windows just says the best drivers are already installed.

  • T61 has a very low max volume

    I'm running a T61 with Win XP SP3 and the max volume with all the sliders is very soft.  Any way to improve this besides external speakers or using headphones?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Found another way around this problem.  There are aftermarket software packages out there that allow you to boost the "gain" levels of your sound output.  I got one as a snapin to Windows Media Player and now I can boost the volume levels to a more acceptable level.  You trade some sound clarity for the increased volume but the quality on the stock speakers was never great anyways.  I'll find the package and post a link to the freeware download page.

  • Lower speaker volume than usual

    Recently i noticed my macbook's speakers have a lower volume than before. When i use my earphones, there doesn't seem to be any difference compared to the past. So i think it should be a problem with the speakers. Is there anyway i can test the speakers to see if they are indeed faulty?

    Oh great!! Well if that is the case then thanks Apple for allowing the European Union to treat us even more like children and not let us think for ourselves that if the the volume was too loud we could just maybe turn it down??
    Now I can't enjoy my ipod, it just doesn't sound the same, much flater sound especially on all Equalizer settings, only goes louder if EQ is flat or turned off.
    Thanks a bunch!!!

    SIM works well in other phones. Im sure that the problem is with the phone only. even in headset call volume is low. I ve seen such kind of problemr are posted on internet, but there is no solution!
    it is really annoying
    The last resort perhaps is to send the phone to a Nokia Care Point for further device evaluation.
    You can locate one by navigating through your local Nokia support page at http://www.nokia.com/global/support.
    Good luck

  • How do i change  ringtone volume to ring with low volume first and then gradually increase to the max volume ?

    how do i change  ringtone volume to ring with low volume first and then gradually increase to the max volume ? this feature was available before but is  still available now ? this is for IOS8 running on Iphone 5c.

    I've never been aware of a function like this in the past. You could create a personal ringtone that would last 30 seconds or less and set the volume on that ringtone to do that with an audio editor, such as Audacity.

  • Why is volume of Spotify so much lower than all other apps?

    So I've just installed the Spotify app on my Sony z3 and the volume is so much lower than all the other audio out puts.. I have no issue listening to audio normally via the normal music player but with Spotify I have to put volume on max and muck about with equaliser... I'm pretty disappointed about this and if there is no solution I doubt I'll continue beyond the trial as is not fit for purpose as it is.. And help is appreciated.

    Yeah it also gives the illusion of crappy sound because you can't hear everything. People think it's muffled because it can't play as loud. I even analyzed the audio to see how it compared to other services by normalizing the audio. Everything sounded the same but at the regular volume it sounds muffled. I really wish they would raise the default volume.

  • Why is the max volume so low on my ipod 6th gen

    why is the max volume so low on my ipod 6th gen

    Well, my volume control certainly does influence the start up chime and I cannot see why yours shouldn't.   Use keyboard buttons F11 and F12 to adjust your sound level last thing at night and if your machine auto starts in the morning it will not wake the household.
    True, if volume control is turned down to a lower level, you would have to adjust it for other sound output that you do want later, iTunes and videos on browsers etc, but it requires little effort.

  • Sound is low even i set for max volume

    media player as well , I am hearing very low sound when compared to other TP's such as R52 ..are there any settings to be done so that i get volume more ..any help is really appreciated.

    Have you tried pushing the volume buttons near the top of the keyboard to adjust volume?
    Also check your device manager to make sure there are no issues with your sound driver.

  • I have Sennheiser MM400 headphones...and even at MAX volume, they are still pretty quiet.  I've checked the volume limits, and there are none...is there a way to get more volume through them?

    I've tried everything...they work really well, sound is fabulous, but I can't really get them to pump out the volume...its like there is a built-in max volume governor in the iPad/headphone link.  Has anyone ELSE experienced this?

    Is there a difference between maximum Bluetooth volume, and max volume when connected via the 3.5mm plug and wire?
