Earpod volume very low on right side

I recently put in my earpods and noticed the right one is much lower in volume than the left. What might of caused this and can it be fixed?

I FOUND THE ANSWER. IT ISN'T ALWAYS A TECHNICAL OR MECHANICAL FAULT
Adjust the balance in the accesibility controls (under settings) you might notice that it is only playing to one side (i.e the left side is left more dominant, therefore louder)
Hope this helped!

  • Incoming ring and text volume very low!

    hi, have recently noticed that when i lower volume level for music,video,games,other media, it also reduces my ringtone and notification volume level too! (even though the slider bar level is on max for ringtones,notifications.) so if for e.g i lower video volume on youtube etc, it takes my incoming call and text volume down too! this never use to happen and only noticed when i saw led missed call,text, flashing.try your own z3c?
    settings-
    sound-
    volumes-
    music,video,etc (on low)-
    ringtone&notification(max)
    ok.
    now check incoming call,text volume (very low on mine) so i have to reset music,video,games etc to max to hear incoming calls,texts but i dont want max volume for music,video,,,
    b.t.w I'm still on kitkat 4.4.4 but as i said the volume levels could be individually adjusted since out of box.
    now strange thing is my mate has the xperia sp and i checked his yesterday and he had same issue (jellybean) and because his volume level on video,games etc is low but max on ringtone,text he too misses calls and texts! (unless of course he sets max volume on the video,games). also using volume on side of phone has no effect either.
    any ideas?
    cheers.

  • Why is volume very low on I pad?

    Volume is very low on a ipad

    Try this  - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
    Check your settings. The iPads have a small switch on the right edge. It can be used as a rotation lock to keep the screen from automatically reorienting itself as you move around, but you need to have the tablet’s settings configured properly. That same switch, right above the volume buttons, can also be set to function instead as a mute button to silence certain types of audio.
    If the switch is set to work as a mute button, you can change its purpose to “screen-rotation lock” by tapping the Settings icon on the home screen. On the Settings screen, tap General on the left side, and on the right side of the screen flick down to “Use Side Switch to.” Tap to select Lock Rotation or Mute to set the button’s function. Even if you set the side switch for your preferred use, you can still mute the Mini or lock the screen. Just double-click the Home button, and when the panel of apps appears along the bottom edge of the screen, flick the row from left to right with your finger. Tap the icon on the far left side of the row to either lock the iPad’s screen or mute the iPad’s alerts, notifications and sound effects. Music, podcasts and video are not muted unless you turn the volume all the way down.

  • Laptop Audio volume very low

    Hi Experts,
    I bought my Inspiron laptop in January and was hoping for good sound quality based on the advertised Waves MaxxAudio. However I find the laptop volume is very low and end up holding the speakers close to my ears when doing a skype call.
    Is this an issue I need to take up with warranty support or are the speaker volumes expected to be this low?

    Hello. Some of the models do have adequate volume and some have low volume, but it is a subjective thing and I don't know if anyone can say that your volume is normal or not without hearing it. Even then they would need to compare it with others of the same model. If you post your model name then maybe someone with that model will express an opinion.
    If the volume is low only in Skype but okay when playing an audio file from the hard drive, then probably a Skype setting. Right click on the volume icon on the taskbar and click on "Open volume mixer" to see individual volume sliders for each device.
    Also you could test by switching from the vendor's audio driver (varies by model but probably Realtek) to the Windows native audio driver. If the volume seems too low (when playing audio files) with both drivers then there could be a hardware problem.
    1. Open the Device Manager (type devmgmt.msc in the Windows search box).
    2. Expand the "Sound, video & game controllers" and right click on "Realtek High Definition Audio".
    3. Select to "Update Driver Software".
    4. Click on "Browse my computer for driver software".
    5. Click "Let me pick from a list of drivers on my computer".
    6. Put a check in the box "Show compatible hardware" if not already checked.
    7. In the list of devices, click "High Definition Audio" (the native driver).
    8. Click "Next".
    9. On the Update Driver Warning box, click "Yes" (install the driver).
    10. Restart the laptop if prompted. If not prompted, then no need to restart.
    [To get back to the Realtek driver,  do it again but reverse the names in steps 1 and 6.]
    Note that the above instructions are for models with a Realtek audio driver. If yours uses IDT or Conexant, look for those names in the Device Manager.

  • Iphone3G 3.0...volume very low

    since the update the volume (when at it's highest) is very low.....so low, i cannot hear an incoming call....any help?

    Has your iPhone got wet recently?
    I ride a motorcycle and sometimes my iPhone gets wet in my pocket. A small drop of water in the bottom speaker silences the iPhone until it's well and truly dried out.
    If your problem is purely related to the 3.0 OS and your phone has never got wet (even one droplet splashed on near the bottom speaker) then go to:
    Settings > Sounds and slide the ringer to the top. After you've done that then hit your Home button and when it's back to the springboard adjust the volume to max using the volume rocker on the side of the phone.
    If it still doesn't help (and the resets/restores above don't work) then give Apple a tinkle and see what they think - if it's a new device then swap it for a replacement as you might have a dodgy speaker. Is music also really low volume?

  • BMW - Bluetooth Volume - Very Low

    I currently drive a BMW 328xi with Navigation paired with an iPhone 3GS. Is anyone else experiencing low speaker volume coming through the car speakers? I've maxed out my settings, but the volume is still very low. I'm assuming that the microphone is fine, because the other party can hear me well.
    If anyone has run into similar issues and has a fix, please post.
    Thank you.

    Out of curiosity, have you used the side volume button on your iPhone to maximize the volume when the phone is in use?
    The iPhone unlike other phones, remembers the volume settings per audio source so that it doesn't quite affect hearing if you want it loud in one setting and then quiet with another (which could be more powerful).
    Additionally I have a 2010 Ford Fusion with Navi system (not quite a sweet as your wheels) but have read on the SYNC forums (which allow me to integrate the bluetooth phone in with the stereo like your BMW) that some of the NAVI systems tend to be quieter...
    Each time when I go to use the phone for the first time in the car I still need to crank the phone volume as the car keeps putting it only to 1/4th of the stereo volume... That's the other pain that I keep encountering...
    As for the other party, they can hear you fine because of the positioning of the microphone in your car... It's between the phone's volume (remembering) setting and that of your car stereo...
    Hope this helps... Let us know if this helps at all!

  • Macbook Air Microphone Volume Very Low

    I've had a few Facetime, Google+ Hangout, and Skype sessions with verious people and a common complaint is that the mic volume on my 2011 Macbook Air 13 is very low despite the gain being turned all the way up.  I found a thread where other people are experiencing this same issue.  I was hoping to get some feedback from others to see how common this issue is.  It would be interesting to see if it is in fact an issue with all Macbook Air's and could possibly be a driver or design issue.
    Other Thread: http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1204830

    Same issue (very low microphone volume) with my new 2011 Macbook Air 13".  I bought it the first day they were available from Apple Store, but just tried FaceTime today.  Volume not acceptable. 
    Looked at system preferences and slid slider all way to max... still not enough volume.  I had to put my head to the side within a few inches of microphone before the sound sort of was loud enough. Tried ambient off/on and worse when had it off.
    Just tested the sound with my niece's boyfriend new 11" model (he got about 1 week ago). Input volume on his unit is ideal.  Sounds great.  So not likely an Lion issue... likely something with my unit (and others based on this post and others).
    I have yet to find any solution on the forum or support area, so will call Apple tomorrow or visit store to see if they can resolve the problem.

  • Notifications volume very low

    I just updated my Q10 to OS 10.3.1.1581 and now when i get notifications the sound is very low even with the volume setting at its highest level.  My wife updated hers at the same time and she has the same problem.  Is anyone else having this problem?

    Blackberry won't even tell us that they are aware of this.. This is unacceptable! I read that there were 6 months of beta testing and notification volume was a known reported issue.. How can they not bother to fix such a MAJOR issue and release such a deal breaking OS update? Please update us on the issue blackberry!

    Ok are you ready?
    As I got to a stage where I almost want to smash my phone, somehow an angel in me came out and said "why don't you just tap it against the table first before you hammer it?". So I did just that and guess what? God must have spare my N82 from the devil in me because it is actually working fine now!
    I told you it's crazy... and please don't ask me how hard I tap it?

  • Electric guitar volume very low

    I have a Saffire Pro 14 audio interface connected via Firewire. Running my electric guitar through it into my Mac Pro and my MacBook. No matter what I do, the sound level is very low. I'm pretty sure I was able to solve this problem before because I'm looking at some recordings I did a while back and the waveform looks normal, the volume seems fine. However, when I record now I have to turn up the amp output levels to the maximum to get any kind of sound at all, in addition to turning up the volume knobs on the guitar itself. In addition, when I turn up the track volume on playback, the level indicator goes into the red even when the audio is moderately audible. The waveform looks flat. I think this is worse on my Mac Pro than on the MacBook.
    Also, sometimes the signal just drops out completely for a few seconds. Dead space, as if I overloaded a circuit or something (which is possible, since I've turned up the output levels all the way on the virtual amp).

    that sounds like your problem, guitars are not line-level instruments.
    Mark_Borok wrote:
    The only gain knobs on the Saffire are for inputs 1 and 2 (the XLR Mic inputs).
    those aren't XLR connectors, they're Neutrik style connectors. plug into either of those
