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.

I can make calls and send text messages on my new iPhone 5, but incoming calls and texts still go to my old (non-Apple) phone. Is this a problem with the phone set up, or is it a problem with my old carrier or my new carrier?

I can make calls and send texts on my new iPhone 5, but all incoming calls and texts are received by my old (non-Apple) phone.

Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new). Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.

My phone displays numbers instead of contact names for incoming calls and text - how do I fix?

My phone displays numbers instead of contact names for incoming calls and text - how do I fix? It used to display the names if there was a contact listed, now it just shows numbers regardless of whether or not the number corresponds to a contact name in the contact list. Can anyone help? I googled this problem and lots of folks have experienced it, however there is not a consensus for a resolution.

Alexandribill, I have been having the exact same issue. I got a new phone and restored my contacts. If the # doesn't have the area code first then the name isn't shown. I just added my husbands area code to my phone and called my phone from his and now his name shows up...Ugh, I have to go through and manually add the area code to all my contacts....
I'd say Verizon needs to rewrite their program to include the area code in the restoring from backup process!

How can I schedule the Ringer and Alerts volume?

On a daily basis, I turn down the Ringer and alerts volume at night so my alarm clock does not wake me up with a super loud alarm. I then move the volume up before going to work so I can hear my phone ring throughout the day. This same routine happens every work day. I was wondering if there's an app that I can use to schedule how this volume goes up or down? kind of like the Do not disturb... any ideas?
Thanks!

Get an alarm app that has an independent volume and/or raises the volume over a few minutes (most of them will do this).
Also, you can schedule different alarms for different days (such as M-F then weekends) with different sounds.

Ringer and Alerts volume erratic

I am now on my third iPhone 4S and it is displaying the same problem that I had with the previous two. The Ringer and Alert volume will just turn itself down for no apparent reason, I have turned off the "Change With Buttons" feature in the Setting so it's not caused by accidently bumping the buttons on the side of the phone, I have heard that Siri may be an issue so I have turned that off. There is no apparent action that causes it, I can turn the volume back up, leave the phone on the table for a couple of hours and re-check it to find that the volume is down again or it may go for a couple of days before it happens, it may happen several times in one day or can go for days beore it happens. It can happen anywhere at any time.
As a matter of interest my wifes iPhone 4S does the same thing. Both phones are set up on different computers
Have anyone else had this issue, are there certain Apps we should stay away from.
Any help would be appreciated, Apple just want to give me a new phone each time which isn't really solving the issue.
Many thanks

Have you done a restore of the phone to see if that fixed the problem with the speaker? If that doesnt help then you probably damaged something inside the phone when you dropped it.
If you're annoyed by the problem, you can always get a replacement phone

HT4623 My ringer and music volume is very low!! The problem just started today can someone help?

Can someone one help me, I just started having problems with my volume. My music and my ringtone are very low!

As a first step, do a hard reset by holding down Sleep/Wake and Home buttons until you see the Apple logo on the screen. If a red power slider appears on the screen, just ignore it and keep holding the buttons down until you see the Apple logo.

Gb2 and m-audio firewire solo...rec. volume very low.

Dear all,
i'm using an m-audio fwire solo device with shure sm-58 mic.
Still, I see that record levels are always very low in gb regardless of how close i can get the mic to the amp or else.
Im pretty shure it has something to do with gb..
all settings are fine
any help?

Garageband defaults to the built-in mic. Make sure that the built-in is not actually being used. Open Garageband preferences, click on the Audio tab and select your device.
In addition, I have noticed that devices work better if they are connected before turning on your computer.

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?

My ring and text tones are not working?

Both my ring tone and text alert tone are not working. I'm only made aware I have a call or text message through the phone's vibration. I have checked all the 'Sound' settings and all appears to be fine and ringer volume slid to high.
Do I need to reboot this phone for them to work as I'm not sure how to do this? I'm using iPhone 4 version 5.0.1
Would I loose all my files and apps on my iPhone after rebooting?
Appreciate any clear help and advice on this popular subject that is available.
Best wishes

Thank so much Ingo2711, your suggestion has solved my problem. I am so new to the iPhone I didn't realise it had a handy little mute button and it was infact switched onto 'mute'.
And thank you for the rebooting advice too.

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.

Headphone volume very low :-(

i was using nokia previously and nw i switchd over to xperia z..i thought xperia z will amze me with its walkman and headphones...but the headphone sound is very low compard to other phones...is dis an issue ?

This might be the result of new EU standards:http://www.actiononhearingloss.org.uk/your-hearing/tinnitus/eu-standards-for-personal-music-players.aspxhttp://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-21294537Action on Hearing Loss says overexposure to loud music can trigger tinnitus.Experts say the limit is "good news".Tinnitus is a medical term used to describe a ringing or buzzing noise that people can hear permanently in one ear, both ears or in the head.It is often caused by exposure to loud music and can be accompanied by hearing loss.

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!

I have fixed it believe it or not?
What I'm about to say is totally crazy and no one should try this if they have the same problem!
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?
