E51 - speaker volume too low.

Hi All, I have an E51 and the problem I have is it's so hard to hear anything.
I have to press the handset into my ear and place the hearing area directly over my ear .
Volume is already on max when I press volume up button on the right side of the phone,
or right on the navigation button during call.
and I've upgraded to 3xx, but it still is low!
Too many friend have the same problem.
Please Help......

I am sure the warranty on your phone is expired and you don't really care. I also know your intentions are genuine and you mean well.
However, discussions involving the disassembly of phones is expressly prohibited by Nokia because it may result in other users voiding their warranties.
Don't take this personally because I agree with your post but it may be removed by the moderators in the morning..

Speaker volume too low on 3GS - any way to increase it?

The speaker volume is too low on my IPhone 3GS. Other than the volume control is there any other way to increase it?

With volume control do you mean the buttons on the side of the phone? or in settings? When playing something on speaker and i want it louder, I just click the up button on the side of the phone.

HP Pavilion DV6 Notebook Speaker Volume Too Low

I have all speaker/audio settings everywhere set at maximum, but the speaker volume I get when I play any kind of audio or video feed from anywhere is way too low. (If I plug external speakers into the headphone jack, the volume is much better.) I've seen all of the posts where the solution was to do something on the "Enhancements" tab in Playback Devices, Properties, but I don't have that tab on my system. When I go into the Configure option and do the audio test, the volume there is great! I've also checked for updates on my audio drivers and the results have come back saying I have the best version already.
I've been putting up with this for a long time, but I'm really tired of having to plug external speakers in when I want to watch a video or listen to streaming music. I'd appreciate any suggestions (other than the one involving the "Enhancements" tab that I don't have) that might help fix this problem!

Hello @Lagil ,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I understand the audio appears to be way too low. I will do my best to help! First, please provide the following information and try the following steps:
1. The computer's model number. If you require assistance locating this information, please reference this website: Guide to finding your notebook product number
2. The computer's operating system. If you require assistance locating this information, please reference this website to determine your Windows operating system.
3. Does this occur on certain programs, or all programs?

I have a G71-340 US Notebook. Speaker volume too low to hear turned up to full volume.

On my G71-340 US Notebook I have the volume turned up to max and yet the speakers are so low I can barley hear them. Is there a software update to fix this?

*************************TRY THIS BEFORE DRIVER RE-INSTALLATION ********************
(It's an easier first solution, and It increased my volume, whereas driver re-install did not)
From Delilah M. on Amazon.com and her review of the G71-340us, Thanks Delilah!
CLICK on the Windows START Button
In the search box TYPE "Manage Audio Devices"
in the results that appear, CLICK on "Manage Audio Devices"
in the window that appears CLICK on "Speakers and Headphones" - this will highlight the "Properties" button
CLICK on the "Properties" button
in the window that appears CLICK on the "Levels" tab at the top, make sure the "Speakers" and "PC Speakers" are at 100%
CLICK on the "Enhancements" tab at the top
CHECK the "Loudness Equalization" Box >>>>> THIS IS THE SETTING THAT WILL BOOST THE VOLUME <<<<<
CLICK on the "Apply" button
CLICK on the "OK" button, your settings will be applied and the box will close
in the remaining open window CLICK "OK" to close the box, and you should be ready to go.
Thanks again to Delilah M. for her solution.

pavilion dv6 3121.
I got my notebook months back.

Hello sir.
My product is pavilion entertainment notebook.
And now after you replied my first complain I have put the finger print issue behind I have bug still with my sound.
I installed the sound driver as its too low and downloaded IDT SOUND DRIVER found in de driver download section.
But dis dis not solve the problem, it only got the volume just one inche louder and I tried RELTEK sound DRIVER and again this one did not change any tin.
U made mention of MSUAA what's dis about? And can it increase my speaker sound?
Pls?
Microsoft UAA Bus Driver for the audio chip integrated into your systemboard can be found at the microsoft update website. It is required as part of the operatng system. No, it won't increase the sound level your notebook is capable of. If you desire more volume then I suggest that you purchase an amplified external sound system (Creative is a decent brand) to plug into the audio out jack on your notebook.
Best regards,
erico

Alarm volume too low - iPhone 4S / iOS 6.1

Hi,
I use the standard iOS alarm, and put my phone into DND mode overnight (manually). The alarm still goes off in the morning, but the volume is inconsistent, even though I set the Ringer and Alerts volume to the max. I have vibration turned on as well, and it actually saved my bacon this morning, as the alarm volume was VERY low.
I usually listen to podcasts before I go to sleep, but always do the following before going to sleep:
Unplug headphones
Return to the home screen
Go to settings to manually turn on DND mode
Return to the home screen
Max the ringer volume with the volume + button
Plug in the charger and hear the charging chime (quite loud)
Lock the screen and hear the lock sound (again, quite loud)
Yesterday the alarm volume was about half. This morning it was at the lowest volume. Seems inconsistent.
Anyone else havuing this problem?
Thanks,
Todd

Update to previous post: The speaker volume was low before updating to 6.1.3. I don't remember it ever working well.

Volume too low on ringer and with hands-free headsets

Both the ringer's volume and the volume within headsets are too low in my new Droid X. When holding it to my ear while talking it is loud enough well below max volume, but hearing people through headsets while driving is often too low with all volumes set to max (on loud freeways, for example). I usually keep my phone's ringer on silent vibrate, but it would be nice to be able to turn it up louder when the phone is sitting on a desk at home. Cell phone ringers can be obnoxiously loud, but there are times when people need to have them turned up.
Because it is an issue in both the ringer speaker and the jack for wired headsets, it seems like there is a good chance of getting a software fix to raise the max volume levels. Reading posts on forums, it seems clear that this problem is widespread in most, if not all, Droid X devises.
If you are having similar problems, please take a moment to call both Verizon and Motorola with a polite report of the issue. I spoke with both today and they said they were aware of the issue, and the tech at Motorola said they were "looking into" a software fix for it. If enough people call and report it, we have a better chance of getting a fix sometime soon.
Verizon's support line is: (800) 922-0204.
Motorola's is: (800) 734-5870 (I chose #6 for "other issues" a couple of times after routing into Droid support to get a live tech)
It can be frustrating to filter through the support systems and report it, especially if they tell you to try obvious things like rebooting the phone and turning the volume up, but it really is the only way to get them to fix this issue. Both techs I spoke with actually looked in their systems right away and acknowledged the issue is being reported by people.
Of course, if anyone has a real solution to this issue, please let us know what it is!

Thanks for the suggestion JKramer. I should have been more clear about having adjusted all volumes up in the settings screen. Assuming all sound options are located within the "Settings --> Sound & Display" screen, then yes, I have tried changing them. I have also tried changing the option to "use incoming call volume for notifications" under the "ringer volume" settings, after reading that someone had success in improving volume that way.
This issue is not a problem all of the time. It is only an issue when there is an elevated level of background noise, such as driving on the freeway, or having music or a movie playing in the room.
The phone is otherwise excellent! I live and commute in areas of very spotty reception (with all cell providers), and this phone will keep calls and not even have voices garble where my past two phones have consistently dropped calls in at least five problem locations. So far, everything else about it seems to work great!
Maybe some of these phones don't have this issue. Or, maybe the people who say they don't encounter the problem are lucky enough to live in relatively quite environments most of the time. In a quiet house or office, it is certainly loud enough. It just needs to have the option for increased volume when in noisy places. The issue is that its "max volume" settings are not as loud as with other phones.
Searching for something like "Droid X volume" will indeed show many people experiencing these same problems on various forums...

Volume too low on Lumias

I previuosly owned a Lumia 800 and now a Lumia 920, and both have exactly the same problem...the earphone volume is just too low. Things are fine of you are hearing in a quiet room, but if you are walking or jogging in the street, the music volume at 30\30 is too low.
Nokia should get an iphone or ipod and compare, Hard too see how Nokia can sell itself as a music platform, yet produce sub par music devices.
I'm angry because of this. The Lumia 920 is an expensive device. Switching back to the iphone...

I love the Lumia 920 and the Windows 8 OS. I started off with the iphone, then to android, and now to windows 8 phone. However, there are certain things that should be left up to the consumer to control. Not everyone is the same, your hearing may be more sensative than another person. Since this is a Nokia issue, the volume should have been left to a volume level that will please everyone. I like listening to music loud especially when I am cutting my grass. It is annoying using a weed trimmer and I can hardly hear the music cause it is too low even though I have it at the max setting. The exteranl speaker is the same issue. 10/10 is rediculous. Everyone is always trying to control the way others do things and say things, express themselves, etc. It needs to be adressed and included in the next update.

Headset volume too low

I just bought an iphone for wife, she said the earphone volume is too low, I have set the volume to max, any idea? Thanks Alex

The volume issue WAS a problem. Apple fixed it for most people a number of software releases ago. Most of the volume complaints stopped a long time ago after the fix. Now, with the 3G iphone, my volume is very loud and much better than even the fixed first version iphone. I think if you read the many initial reviews of the 3G version, most mentioned how much better the handset, speaker and speakerphone quality and loudness is. I know this is not solace for someone with a problem now, but I don't think it is widespread. You could just have a defective phone. Take it in the Apple Genius bar and see if they will get you a new one.

E52 Speakerphone volume too low

Hello,
When using speakerphone on E52 sound volume is too low. Even if I keep it on max, it's still too low.
Considering that ringtones can be played with a lot stronger volume using the same speaker (as speakerphone does) - I assume there must be a "trick" to pump up the volume of speakerphone, right ?
Any code or workaround ??? This is somewhat silly situation, ringtones quite loud, speakerphone too low !
Thanks for help !
Somewhat similar report here:
E52 Firmware Thread
FW: 053.001, Model E52-1, Type: RM-469, Cst version date: 06-Jan-2011 (DE model).

Months later, can't find solution on web... anyone cares, hello Nokia ??
PS: On my second phone, which is samsung, I can tune all kind of volume parameters (around 50 params, db, tx,rx, etc..). Must be something on Nokia as well...

Fixing Volume -- Too Low

Has anyone got a fix without hacking it with AudioAmp (seems to be mixed results with 3g). But i have to admit, the volume even at max is too low - and I would love for it to be higher.
any help here desired

My wife and I have matching 1st generation iPhones. Her speaker/ringer is easily 2-3 times louder than mine.
Can't see any 'film' protecting speakers, and I have restarted, reset, restored, cleared/reset all settings and volume controls and sound options with no success. One phone is 2-3 times louder than the other.
There has to be a fix for this!!! It's a huge problem, I'm missing calls!

E72 phone conversation speaker way too low at max ...

Hi,
I checked three E72 units. In all three, the speaker, when at full volume, is way too quiet. This applies to phone conversations put on speaker or off speaker (unit next to ear). In comparison, my previous phone (Nokia 6131) doesn't exhibit this major fault.
I checked with the local distributor, Eurocom Israel, and they experimented a bit and eventually confirmed my findings.
Is there a technical solution to this issue? It really is a shame for an otherwise decent phone...
Thanks,

Hi patroni73
I too have noticed that ever since my last upgrade to 7.0.4 on my iPhone4s I am having the same trouble of increasing speaker volume to High. Although all of the tools (my volume bars on locked screen, side + bar, General Settings volume) are all the way up to max with my side switch to ON my ringtones and sounds are all very low. It feels like this latest upgrade has forgotten the speaker system controls and took care of whatever else the problem was.
Before the ios 7.0.4 upgrade, my iPhone 4s speaker was high enough and working just fine. Please help!!!

Portege R500 audio problem: sound volume too low

The sound volume on my R500 is ridiculously low. Only with volume maxed out (100) and using headphones do I hear anything at all, and even then it's way too low to be useful. I can just make out the test sounds in the left and then right earphone when using the test sound found at Control Panel -> Sound -> Speakers (there are no Headphones to be selected) -> Properties -> Advanced -> Test. Unplugging the headphones I hear nothing from the speakers, due to the (very low) sounds made by the fan and HDD. Playing music (with headphones) I can just make out that sounds are being produced, but I can't even make out what is playing.
I've tested the things mentioned in the "Satellite 5105-S901 Sound is very low (even on max volume) using supplied Toshiba driver" thread with no success (including Loudness Equalization).
I'm running Vista Business 32bit, and have tried the driver_audio_realtek26117B.exe, driver_audio_realtek_TC00157600B.exe, and Vista_Win7_R243_x86.exe driver files, and also used the util_mute_off_25847B.exe utility.
Enabling mute makes the already faint sounds go completely silent, so I don't think it's a mute issue.
Jack detection does work, I can see that in the Realtek HD Audio Manager program. Using that program's sound test (Speaker Configuration) I have to go to a completely silent room, and even then I only hear something in the right earphone. (I think; it's so darn low I could be imagining I hear it.)
Does anyone have any ideas what I can try next? I can boot to XP or Linux if anyone has any ideas on how to get sound there, just to get started. (They're silent as well, I haven't done as extensive testing under those as under Vista.)

Update:
Tried increasing the volume in control panel -> Realtek HD audio manager. No success.
I have used a bunch of different drivers, both from toshiba's website and realtek's.
Recently did a fresh XP install on another hard drive (don't have Vista install media), tried both 5.10.0.5869 and 5.10.0.6066 drivers (5.10.0.6066 is from march 13, 2010), sound still as low no matter what I do.
Did the really desperate thing: bought a new (used) sound module on ebay ("Toshiba Portege R500 (PPR50E-00L048EN) USB jack" on ebay.co.uk), but it has the same problem as the original one.
I was thinking perhaps the sound module doesn't get enough power from the motherboard, but since there is some sound (although very low), the USB jack on the module works, the headphone/mic jack detection works, and the diagnostics found in the Control Panel all say that the device is working OK, I don't think it's a hardware problem.
I'm guessing there is a problem with the drivers initializing the sound to a ridiculously low setting, and increasing the volume level to 100 makes it go up to a level equal to perhaps 2 in a regular system. That should be solved by a fresh install, but it isn't.
Perhaps the BIOS messes up the sound? But re-flashing the BIOS doesn't help...
Anyone got any other ideas?
I've googled and found people having problems with low sound volume on other laptops using the ALC262 chip, but no general solution.

Volume too low on download from itunes store how to fix

My download from itunes store won't play on my ipad at a decent volume. How do I fix it?
Actually, I suspect the download itself is too low and fuzzy. How do I reload?

If you are having a problem with a song you downloaded from iTunes, you can report it to an iTunes worker and they will redownload the song for you for free. Go to the song you bought and find where it says "report a problem". Click on that, and you can explain your problem to an iTunes worker.
