Adjusting volume on different sounds (sms, ring, etc)

Is there a way to adjust the volume on sound events within the 3g Iphone?
Say I want my ring volume to be a certain level but I want my alert tone for a SMS to be a lot lower. Is that possible to change the levels? I'm missing something easy (which is totally possible) or the volume slider is for everything (which would suck)
Thanks for the help!

I'm wondering the same thing hopefully someone will respond

Cannot adjust volume during calls on iPhone 6 (using EarPods)

I cannot adjust my volume on the iPhone 6 during the call on the EarPods. I can only adjust volume while the call is ringing or before a call, but once the person picks up, neither the phone's buttons or EarPods would adjust volume. It's once when I hang up and my music starts playing again, the music blasts my ear from the volume change I did (during the call).
The volume button works fine during calls when I don't use any earphones.
Is there a way to fix this?

Good Afternoon lopakamac,
If you are having trouble hearing a conversation on your iPhone, try the following steps:
If you can't hear a person on a call or voicemail or if the sound quality is poor on iPhone - Apple Support
http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT203800
Turn up the volume
While you're on a call, adjust the volume with the volume buttons:
Also while you're on a call, make sure that you can see the volume indicator on the screen when you press the volume buttons:
Check the connections
If your iPhone is connected to a headset, you won't be able to hear through the iPhone receiver or using speakerphone. Follow these steps, testing after each.
Make sure that you don't have anything plugged in to the headphone jack or the dock connector.
Go to Settings > Bluetooth and turn off Bluetooth.
Clear the receiver
The iPhone receiver won't work properly if it's blocked or dirty. Here's where the receiver is:
Follow these steps, testing after each:
Make sure nothing is blocking the receiver, such as a case or film.
If you have a new iPhone, remove the plastic film on the front and back of the device.
Check the receiver opening to see if it's blocked or dirty. If necessary, clean the receiver opening with a clean, small, dry, soft-bristled brush.
While you're on a call, turn on speakerphone. If you still can't hear, then your network or reception could be the issue. Try calling again later or from a different location.
Restart and update
Restart your iPhone and test again.
If there's still no sound or poor sound quality, update to the latest version of iOS.

What should I do? Thanks!

Take it out of silent mode.

My iPad 1 does not make any of the sounds (key clicking, etc) I have directed it to despite having volume turned all the way up...any thoughts?

Check to see if the "silent" switch is turned on. This is either the hardware switch next to the volume control or a software switch on the "recent apps" tray depending on how you have your iPad configured (Settings > General).
Too see the software switch on the "recent apps" tray double-click the Home button and swipe the tray to the right.

Adjusting Volume on Droid X

To ensure you are getting the best volume out of your Droid X, be sure to double check these settings on your new device!
-Menu
-Settings
-Sound and Display Settings
*Ensure that Silent mode is not checked (if you want audible sound)
*Check that your Ringer Volume is set at the appropriate volume level.
*Check that your Media Volume (for music and videos) is set to the volume level. *In addition check your Media Audio Effects option to ensure it is set to whatever device you may be using it with (wired stereo device) or just the phones speaker.
*Ensure that your Phone Ringtone is set to an audible sound, or a sound that is loud enough to alert you (some sounds may be softer than others)
*Ensure that your Notification Ringtone is set to an audible sound or a sound that is loud enough to alert you. (again, some sounds may be softer than others)
Check out more information at http://search.vzw.com/?do=viewdoc&id=33910
Note: If you have an alarm set, ensure that all the above is set to the desired volume levels, and if you have a task killer, do not end task/kill the alarm clock program. Ending the task, or killing the application will cause your alarm to not respond at the appropriate time. Depending on the task killer you can set the alarm clock program to be an exception when killing a task.
If the above does not resolve the issue, a soft reset would be recommended. A soft reset is pulling the battery out of the device for a few seconds, and placing it back in.
This information as well as other informaiton you may need on your new device can be found by selecting your model number and manufacture on our support site www.verizonwireless.com/support. Here you can do a quick search for what you are looking for.
Hope this helps!

Dear moates (Verizon Wireless Employee),
Although it is very kind of you to post info on adjusting volume on the Droid X, Droid X users may reasonably find your post frustrating if not insulting and/or offensive.
The alleged low volume/speaker issue/problem on certain batches or units of the Droid X is well documented by dozens, even hundreds (probably thousands) of Droid X owners on many different forums (Verizon forums, Droid forums, Android forums, etc.). All of these forum threads contain the information that you put in your post. In addition, the information that you put in your post is available in the Droid X manual, over the phone from Verizon tech support, and in many other forum posts. In short, you have said nothing new. The reason many Droid X owners may find this frustrating if not insulting and/or offensive is that many of them have already repeatedly gone through every detail in your post (and more) while on the phone with Verizon and Motorola tech support, while still experiencing a serious low volume/speaker problem on their Droid X. Nonetheless, the vast majority of Verizon tech support employees continue to tell Droid X owners who call in to report/document the alleged low volume/speaker issue/problem that Verizon has no knowledge of any such problem. Oddly, some Verizon tech support employees tell Droid X owners who call in to report the problem that Verizon knows about the problem and that a firmware fix is in the works. This inconsistency is troubling to many Droid X owners.
Whether the volume/speaker problem only plagues certain Droid X batches/units, and whether the volume/speaker problem is due to hardware or to firmware, in any case a firmware update that increases the potential volume of all Droid X units will help solve the problem.
Here are just two forum threads that contain reports of the alleged volume/speaker problem on the Droid X, even when all volume settings are adjusted to play the maximum volume level (note that when Verizon rearranged the forum communities, some of the forum posts/threads were cut off in some links, while some of the threads continue on in the relevant newly arranged forum community):
1) http://community.vzw.com/t5/DROID-X-by-Motorola/Volume-issue-on-new-Droid-X/td-p/227520;jsessionid=1BF0216A30F98F0470050FD66E67A3AA
2) http://www.droidforums.net/forum/droid-x-general-discussions/59913-droid-x-speaker-volume.html
What would be helpful is for representatives from Verizon (such as yourself) to comment on the actual problem: the large number of Droid X owners who experience very low volume/speaker performance even when the obvious settings on the phone (and listed in your recent forum post) are doubled-checked. Would you like us to organize a public online petition? A class action law suit? Most Droid X owners are not hostile and do not want to go those routes because they love their new phones as well as Verizon's otherwise excellent services. One of the only problems is the failure of Verizon adequately to address the alleged low volume/speaker issue/problem. A forum post that lists known information is inadequate because it makes no progress towards solving, reducing, and/or addressing the problem.
Could you give Droid X owners the courtesy of a more direct response to the allegedly very low volume/speaker problems that persist even when the settings listed in your post are appropiately adjusted and double-checked?
Thank you for your consideration.

Nokia 6110 Navigator - Can't adjust volume on anyt...

The other day I set the volume button on the side of the phone to max so I could hear a voice recording better.
Now, the phone volume is fixed on max for all applications: music, ring tone, mms & sms tones etc. I've tried to adjust all of these back to normal levels through Profiles, Phone Settings and even [in desperation] the volume button again - but nothing works.
The only way to stop the ear blast is to use mute, but that obviously defeats the purpose!!!!!
Can anyone help?-

I coudln't adjust the volume using the keyboard, the volume control at the top of the desktop or in the system prefs. I would move the slider or press the buttons, but the volume wouldn't change up or down.
Resetting the PRAM seemed to have fixed the problem.
Thanks!

Audio Codec Error after adjusting volume V 7.02

I get an error reading audio file on playback after using
Adjust Volume tool, Presenter V7.02. I have to re-record the
audio.

Hi,
Try the following.
Download the IDT Audio installer on the link below and save it to your Downloads folder.
http://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp56001-56500/sp56429.exe
When done, open windows Control Panel, open Device Manager and open up Sound, Video and Game Controllers. Right click the IDT device and select Uninstall - you should also get a prompt to remove the current driver, tick the box to allow this and then proceed with the uninstall.
When complete, shut down the notebook, unplug the AC Adapter and then remove the battery. Hold down the Power button for 30 seconds. Re-insert the battery, plug in the AC Adapter and start the notebook.
Let Windows fully load - it will automatically load an audio driver, but just let it complete. Then open your Downloads folder, right click on the IDT installer and select 'Run as Administrator' to start the installation. When this has completed, restart the notebook again.

DP-K

How to set different sounds for different events?

Hello I had Xiaomi Mi2s before and I could set different sound for every email account I had, for sms, for facebook and so on. How do I do it on my Xperia? Of course that for example SMS is more important then some facebook comment, so I would like to hear what happened because not every time I want to reach my phone.

Open each app > menu > settings > notification sound > change the sound > done > repeat as needed

How can I increase the volume for the facetime alert ring? Will it ring when the Mac is asleep?

Need to hear the facetime ring louder!

Did you try that while on a phone call? Also there are different volumes for different devices. If you have your earbuds in and set a volume that will change the volume for when your earbuds are in. If you have a bluetooth headset you can set a volume for that.

My click sounds and ringer sounds on my iphone4 just stopped working....what can i do to fix it?

my click sounds and ringer sounds on my iphone4 just stopped working....what can i do to fix it?

Is the mute button on the side of the phone switched on?
Also go to settings, scroll to the bottom and ensure that "Keyboard Clicks" is set to on. Make sure that the "Ringer and Alerts" volume is not set at zero in this menu.

Missing volume bar when adjusting volume

Hello Jake0505
If you could elaborate a bit on your issue? There are different issues on this thread from the graphical representation of the volume bar being different to it missing. If you could be more specific about your exact issue I will endeavor to help.
Thank you for posting on the HP Forums. Have a great day!

Adjusting volume to account for recordings of unequal quality

I'm creating an iMovie with photo clips and music. I know how to view and adjust volume levels on the audio. Each of the song bits that I'm using are entered at the same volume level.
However, during playback, some songs are quite loud and others seem too soft.
How do I make them more the same...is it even possible?
sgc

sgcable,
"How do I make them more the same...is it even possible?"
Two songs set to the same volume level in iMovie will not necessarily sound that way. The level for any particular piece of audio is relative to the level at which it was originally recorded at.
So, in your case, you might try lowering the level of the audio that's too loud and raising it for those clips that seem too soft.
Let your ears be your guide, not volume settings themselves.

Speaker working intermittently (keypad tones, ringer, etc...). There seems to be no rhyme or reason or common denominator to when or why it suddenly shuts off. Any advice?

The volume on my iPhone is working intermittently (keypad tones, ringer, etc...). There seems to be no rhyme or reason or common denominator to when or why it suddenly shuts off. Any advice?

The problem is pin corrosion on pin number 21. It is ver simple to clean out. Google "where is pin 21 on apple dock connector." Then get a pin or dull needle and gently pull it over pin number 21. You won't see the corrosion on the pin or even see it come off, but it works.

Adjusting Volume - Like in iMovie HD

Hello,
Is there a way to adjust the volume of various tracks in Garage Band 09 like how it was possible to adjust the clip volume levels in iMovie HD, by adjusting the line up and down to change the volume at different points in the clip? Thanks a lot for your help!

Yes, there's volume curves. Click on the triangle in the track header to make the curve visible. If you have any problems, search the Help section for "curve".
