I cannot increase volume on Voice Memo

Does anyone know how to increase volume on Voice Memo?
I almost do not hear my messages (unless I shout or put my phone in front of my lips and talk loud).

Just got a 3GS today and this volume problem was one of the first things I noticed. This has to be fixed - teling people they have to use a headset mic or somesuch, when the speakerphone usage of the built-in mic works just fine, is a cop-out. Obviously an oversight ("bug") in the code. Now if someone could just figure out what the file type of the voice memos is, one could take the files of 3rd party apps that do record at a proper volume and make iTunes recognize them as voice memos. If Apple's going to release something they consider a core iPhone app in this shoddy condition, it's only fair if we get some sort of functional workaround rather than wait for someone's bugfix inbox queue in Cupertino to get caught up on.

Volume of voice memos suddenly dropped

I was listening to some voice memos and it was completely fine until my iPhone 6+ restarts by itself. When I unlock it and go back on the voice memos, the volume is suddenly extremely low and even on the highest volume, it's barely audible. I restarted the phone twice or thrice after that, but it didn't help. Everything else's volume is fine, it's just the memos that are causing the problem. They're perfect with earphones on too, but on the speaker they're really quiet. Please help!

You did what twice? You didn't mention doing a reset which is different that a restart. If you done the reset then the next step you can do is restore. Did you try restoring it too?

Is there a way of lowering/increasing volume on voice and music

Is there a way in iMovie 8 to lower/increase voice and or music, like on iMovie HD you could when you were seeing the audio tracks?

So now what happens if the audio controls never pop up?
When I click on the audio button I don't get an "audio adjustment window".
Is there another way to bring it up?
According to apple support:
To normalize clip volumes:
Select a clip you want to normalize and then click the Audio Adjustments button to open the Audio Adjustments window.
In the Audio Adjustments window, click Normalize Clip Volume.
Select the next clip in your project that you want to normalize, and then click Normalize Clip Volume again.
Repeat step 3 for each project clip that you want to normalize.
When you’re finished, click Done.

Voice Memo no Volume

I get no volume with voice memos. Video recording pick up is ok, but in voice memo the VU meter does not move from my voice, even if I am yelling. Knocking the iPod touch case will produce a volume. I have restarted the iPod.
Any suggestions?

- Have you tried resetting:
Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Next would be to restore from backup
- Next restore to factory defaults since there may be some corruption in your iPod that is now in the backup.

Questions about using the Voice Memos app

I'm currently an Android user, but will be getting an iPhone 6 soon. My most used app is the voice memos app on my Android phone. I have a couple questions about the iPhone's built-in voice memos app.
-Am I able to transfer my voice memos from my Android phone to my iPhone, so my recordings from my Android app will show up in the iPhone's voice memos app?
-When exporting voice memos from the iPhone to computer, are recordings in MP3 format? If not, what format are they in?
-In your opinion, how is the recording quality of the voice memos app?

You cannot import your Android voice memos to your iPhone's voice memo app. You might be able to play the Android memos and have the iPhone pick up the audio and record it.
Here is the writeup about sending voice memos from the iPhone to your computer (from the iPhone User Guide):
App quality is excellent.

Voice memos in iTunes not being added to iPod

The Apple store told me to get rid of a bug on my iPod to set it up as a new iPod and not restore it from a backup since it was most likely a software issue and not hardware (music was skipping randomly even when not on shake to shuffle). Everything is fine now except that I cannot get my old voice memos back on my iPod Touch4G. They are in iTunes and before I sync I makes sure the "include voice memos" is checked, but it still does not work. Any suggestions on how to get these back on my iPod? Thanks.

Thanks for the help!

Voice memo volume

I just got an iPhone 5S (had a 4S). I use Voice Memos alot and am having trouble hearing my voice on the 5S, it doesn't playback very loudly. There's nothing I wrong with my hearing, I have the volume turned up all the way using the volune Up button on the side, but I still can't hear it very well in the quiet of my house. I probably won't be able to hear it if I'm out on the street or in the car or something. Is there something else I can set to increase the volume level?
TIA,
Audrey

Hello NCMead,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
I'd like you to take a look a the follow support article, specifically starting at step 5:
Verify that the volume is set to a level you would normally be able to hear.
Ensure that there is nothing plugged in to the headset jack or the dock connector.
If the iPhone is in a protective case, make sure that the speaker port isn't blocked by the case.
Make sure that the speaker and dock port aren't clogged with debris. If necessary, clean it with a clean, small, dry, soft-bristled brush. Carefully and gently brush away any debris.
If an audio issue occurs when using a specific application, try testing other applications to see if the issue persists.
If the iPhone is paired with a Bluetooth headset or car kit:
Try turning off Bluetooth.
If you experience difficulties with the Bluetooth feature, follow these troubleshooting steps.
Restart the iPhone.
If restarting doesn't fix the issue, ensure that your iPhone is updated to the latest version of iOS.
If the issue is not resolved, please contact Apple Support.

I need help with voice memo and volume control

I really dislike to update my iphone's software. I have Iphone 4S and I have been using voice memo to record lectures for sometime.
It was working well till updated my Iphone's software (IOS or whatever that is). Now I can't transfer my voice memo to my computer
and I have tried so many things people have suggested online which are 1. restart my mac book, 2. turn off and on my Iphone 3.
check voice memo when syncing my iphone with macbook. It is not working. Also, I totally messed my volume control. I went to
Genuis bar and the lady who helped told me that my Iphone has some issues before which is making my Iphone go nuts.
In short, 1. I cannot sync my voicemail
2. my volume does not work....i have to turn it on and off

Can't lower voice memo volume. My decrease button doesn't work anymore. Any other way i can lower it without disabling speaker

Own an iphone 5. Can't control voice memo volume from anywhere that deals with volume on my phone. My decrease button doesn't work. I have to listen to my voice memos on full blown volume. Can't lower it from settings or from music. Help please!

Hi,
thanks for your answer.
The Size of all disks is: 6 x 4 TB.
In the Pool are 5 x 4 TB plus 1 x Hot Spare.
It comes up to about 14,6 TB of Data formatable.
But tried it also with just 3 x 4 TB to see if it works.
I just made a Raid5EE on the controller and then used Storage Spaces with simple, all worked fine.
Here the results of my tests:
1) your command had to be modified (typoe in usemaximumsize, and had to add -ResiliencySettingName Parity.
new-virtualdisk -friendlyname testpsh -storagepoolfriendlyname test -ResiliencySettingName Parity -usemaximumsize
But anyway, my problem is not creating the virtual disk, but formatting the partition if it's parity only.
I added a screenshot:
Here you see my storage pool, and I added 3 virtual disk.
1 simple, 1 mirror, 1 parity. Only the parity cannot be formatted. The others can. No mather which size I do.
About a testserver, I added 4 x 4 TB to a VM (VHDX-files) and could do parity without problems. So it seems it is this server specific.
As it worked with another controller, I really wonder if the controller could break parity of Storage Pools?
The other weird part is, it sais "Raid" as BUS, but it's set to pass through, in details I see the serial of the attached HDD.
This is what properties shows on this volume. Always RAW.
I also tried Software Raid5 within the server.
This also worked fine. So really only parity.
Thanks
Patrick

Low volume when playing back voice memos.

When I play back a voice memo on my 5S, the volume is very low. Voice texts from other people are nice and loud, ringtones and music are audible from several feet away, people have no problem hearing me, nor I them, when I use my speaker phone, so I don't think this is a problem with the speaker nor with the microphone. Any suggestions other than 3rd party apps, speakers or headphones? I would like to think that the phone doesn't need any external help with one of its built-in apps.

I found the solution in another thread. There is a little speaker icon on the upper right of the voice memo screen that is white normally, but if you tap it, it turns blue (on my iPhone) and the volume is essentially at the same level as other sounds like music, ring tones, etc.

My speaker doesn't work when I try to listen to music or open up a quick time file, however they seem to work perfectly when I listen to a voice memo (p.s. the volume slider disappears in a song page and even in the multi tasking bar)

Thanks for your solution, it wasn't quite what solved the problem but i remembered that i had a bit of salt water on my phone recently and spraying the charging port with an anti-oxide spray solved my problem, do you mind if i ask, how is the charging port related with the volume or/and speakers?

Voice memo playback low volume, ipod touch 4th gen bluetooth

After recording a voice memo on my ipod touch 4th gen. I play it back on my bluetooth JBL flip. Now when I playback sound levels are sometimes extremely quiet, and other times play at normal volume. Volume on Ipod touch and JBL flip will be maxed out and still volume playback are extremely quiet. I have tried turning off and on Ipod and not found anything work consistently at solving this issue.

Do you have a Phone? In your case i would save some money for an iPhone. Like i am doing now - i also got a 4G iPod.
Anyways if you really wanna go for another iPod, take the 5G now. The 5G is a big update from the 4G and Apple released it last year, so i think that the 6G will come in 2014.

Voice memo volume very low, it played normally then today very low even with volume set full blast.

I played my voice memos yesterday and the volume was fine. Today I can bearly hear them. I have the volume set to the highest with the buttons on the side. Any thoughts?

My latest OS upgrade (to 6.1.3) resulted in loss of all music on the iPhone. It is still on my computer intact, but cannot get it back on the phone. If I click on music under the iPhone icon in iTunes, it shows me only voice memos. Help!

after upgrades, suddenly no music is on or can be synched to the iPhone. It is all there on my computer but cannot get it to synch back. I tried copying over older itl fils t no avail.
If I click on music under the iPhone icon within iTunes, it shows on a dozen or so voice memos. (also shows them under "Voice memos").
Itunes version is 11.0.3 (42)
Any suggestions?

From the requirements point of view, you can happily move to iOS 6. From the user tranquility pov, it's a crapshoot. Remember that MILLIONS of iDevices have been sold, a couple of those just this past Xmas season and hence all with iOS 6 preinstalled. "Many complain in the forums" is a number that ranges in the 10's or 100's: i.e., a minuscule amount of the total devices out there. And. of course, nobody comes here to gush excitedly about how well his iGadget works; everybody here (save those of us regular users who attempt to help, we're not Apple employees) has a gripe, grumble or complaint.
I can tell you from personal experience that my i5 with iOS 6.1.4 works as desired. All my colleagues' iPhones with iOS 6 work as expected. And we have a particularly flaky Wi-Fi environment thanks to our less than stellar netadmins.
But in the end, it is entirely up to you. Will you bite the bullet, or wait some more? Check the new stuff that came with iOS 6 and decide whether or not to risk it.

Cannot delete old voice memos from iPhone 4S, ios 6.0.1

So I noticed today while doing some housecleaning in iTunes and on my iPhone that I had three voice memos in my iphone that didnt get deleted (see picture below).
So naturally I go and attempt to delete those (because they are just taking up space (I know it's not much, but why have them if I am not using them?). Weird things is, I cannot delete these at all. I highlight all three and hit the delete key, no good. I right click and these are my only options:
The thing is, I go into my voice memos options in the main iTunes library, nothing is there.
As well, there is nothing in my iPhone's voice memo library. Also, the voice memo folder in my iTunes folder is empty.
Any suggestions to try and remove these off the device? I've tried everything I can think of to try and get rid of them.
Thanks.

I cannot see your screen shots for some reason, but here's a suggestion:
Open iTunes on your computer, look at your playlists there. Go to your "Voice Memos" playlist, delete all its contents, and then sync your iPhone to iTunes.
