Internal Speaker Volume

I have all of the audio settings set to maximum, but the volume of the internal speaker can barely be heard over any background noise in the room.  The volume through the headphone jack works great, so it doesn't seem to be a soundcard issue. 
Does anyone else have similar issues?  I'd like to determine if this is normal, or if I might have a bad speaker.

Same thing, I expected something better. I wanted to use for skype but I can't hear a thing even at maximum volume in a quite environment. It was supposed to compete with Ipad...but Ipad is much better . I'm disappointed.

  • Internal speaker volume output is not loud anymore

    After downloading Mavericks, my internal speaker volume output is not even as loud as my iPad. What can I do to fix this? It use to be loud prior to downloading mavericks. I don't want to have to buy a third party app to fix this. Please fix this apple!

  • Headphone and Internal Speaker Volume Levels

    I saw a topic about this earlier, but it has become locked, so I thought I would post another to see if anyone has any information about it. Until recently, I have been able to set my headphone volume and internal speaker volume at different levels. In other words, I can set the speakers to a certain volume, plug in my headphones, set the headphones to a different volume, then unplug the headphones and the volume changes back to what it was before I plugged in the headphones. I don't know exactly when it started happening, but I can no longer set these at two separate levels. I have seen that other people are having this problem, so I know it isn't just something stupid that i am doing. Anyone know why this is happening, or what I can do about it? Any help would be much appreciated.

    Assuming that you're not listening to songs that have been imported at very low level, the next thing to do is a full Restore. A Restore will remove everything form your iPod, reset it and then put back onto the iPod only what is in your iTunes library. So if you have items that are not in your library (and therfore on the computer) you need to sort that out first.
    I believe it will also reset your user data in any Apps you use. There is a backup method for this, but I'm not sure how it works as I've never tried it.
    If that doesn't work, there must be a hardware issue, which means booking it in for service.

  • Left internal speaker volume issue (very weak)

    Hello,
    The left internal speaker on my MBA is very very quiet (barely audible at maximum volume and with right channel disabled). The problem seems to have appeared recently as I was totally enjoying my MBA's sound before.
    I have already tried the following:
    - Both speakers are equally balanced in System Preferences/Sound and Audio MIDI Setup.
    - The 'Play stereo audio as mono' box is unticked in System Preferences/Universal Access.
    - Latest software updates installed, the laptop restarted after that, the trouble remained.
    - Already tried resetting the SMC or PRAM and NVRAM.
    - Already tried reinstalling a fresh OS
    Grateful for any useful comments, views and advice.
    MacBook Air mid-2013, Mac OS X (10.10.2)

        Applications > Utilities > Audio MIDI Setup
        Audio Devices window

        Under Mute any of the boxes checked? If so, uncheck it.
        Make sure that CH1 and CH2 volume sliders are at the middle and matched.

  • Improved speaker volume on late 2007 MacBooks?

    I just bought a new 2.2 ghz black MacBook last week. The internal speaker volume sounds fine to me.
    Did the Santa Rosa chip set fix this problem?

    It may be that; or Apple put a better speaker system in the newer MacBooks.
    In the older ones, it was pitiful. So I do hope Apple did upgrade the speakers, it could make customers happy.

    It isn't exactly pitiful. I've heard that Apple released a firmware that lowered the maximum output. To fix this, you can download Audio Hijack. You can set the volume up to 200%.

  • MacBook Pro speaker volume

    I just finished importing a ton of CDs to my laptop and now I find I cannot get the internal speaker volume up past a whisper.  Any thoughts?  This is barely audible yet is working fine on an external output device via Bluetooth.  And, for those of you who say reset PRAM or buy external speakers, this problem never existed until I recently began importing my music library.  I'm sure it's just a setting but I don't know where to begin and definitely do not want to re-import 1000's of songs at a new volume.  Please help.  Thanks.

    Hello there, Donna.
    There are a few places where sound can be adjusted on your Mac. If you're in the iTunes application, the following link from the online iTunes Help Guide provides some standard information:
    Adjust the volume - iTunes Help
    Adjust the volume of music and video
    Change the volume for all songs (like turning the volume knob on a stereo): Use the volume slider at the top of the iTunes window.
    The maximum volume is limited by your computer’s volume setting.
    Adjust the volume of a particular song or video: Select it, choose File > Get Info, click Options, and drag the volume slider. iTunes uses this setting each time the song or video plays.
    Have all songs and videos always play at the same volume level: Choose iTunes > Preferences, click Playback, and select Sound Check.
    If you’re using remote speakers connected to an AirPort Express: You can use the volume controls on the speakers as well as the iTunes volume controls. To use only the speaker’s controls, click the AirPlay button , click Single, and choose the speakers from the pop-up menu.
    SEE ALSOChoose which speakers to use
    Additionally the Mac OS Help Guide provides this information:
    Turn the volume up or down - Mac Help
    Turn the volume up or down
    To change your computer’s volume, click the Volume control in the menu bar, then drag the slider to adjust the volume.If the Volume control isn’t in the menu bar, choose Apple menu > System Preferences, then click Sound. Click Output, then select the “Show volume in menu bar” checkbox.

    If you can’t hear sound from your speakers
    Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.

    My iPod Touch will not play through external speakers when it is docked.  It only plays through it's internal speaker.  All the other functions on the iPod can be controlled by the external speakers (volume,track, etc).  How do I fix this?

    I would try in oreder:
    - Resetting the iPod:
    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.
    - Restoring the iPod via iTunes.  First from backup and if problem persists, restore to factory defaults/new iPod.

    there is no sound on my macbook air. I have checked the volume and mute controls and the internal speaker are selected.  any one any ideas please.

    Hopefully one of these steps should solve the problem.
    1. Remove the headphone.
        If you see red light in the headphone port, plug the headphone
        in and out of the port 5 or 6 times to flip the microswitch inside.
        Sound output may be stuck in the digital mode.
    2. Reset PRAM.  http://support.apple.com/kb/PH4405
    3. Reset SMC.     http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
        Choose the method for:
        "Resetting SMC on portables with a battery you should not remove on your own".

  • IPhone 4S won't play music from internal speaker

    My iPhone 4S is having an issue with the internal speaker. Originally, I was able to play music from iTunes, Pandora, videos, etc. w/out having headphones or an external speaker system connected to the audio input. Now, the phone isn't playing back sound from the internal speaker, unless I have headphones/speaker connected. Keyboard clicks and text message alerts are also not coming through, even though that option is turned on. The Ring/Silent button is on, the volume is on high, and I've also restarted the phone a few times. The only way I've got the internal speaker to play w/out having an external speaker system connected to the audio input is if I test different ringers; then it will playback, but not for any other audio format (videos, songs, keyboard clicks, etc.)
    Any ideas on how to fix this issue? I'm out of ideas...Thank you!!

    iWeb is an application to create webpages with.
    It used to be part of the iLife suite of applications.
    iWeb has no knowledge of the internal speaker on your iPhone.
    You may want to ask in the right forum.

  • Audio out from internal speaker, how?

    I purchased iPhone 3G 8GB, before that I have been using iPod touch. With iPod touch audio from games etc came out from internal speaker if I did not plug earphones. But for some reason that does not work with iPhone 3G.
    Only very few apps uses internal speaker with iPhone 3G, like iPod app. But rest of apps does not play audio before I plug earphones. Is there away to fix this or is there something wrong with my new iPhone 3G? I purchased two days a go.

    all sound should come out of speaker if headset isn't plugged in. check in sound settings that "silent" vibrate isn't on.
    also some apps have there own volume settings so even if you turn the apps sound down the phones other sound stays the same, such as the ringer..

  • Very very low sound in internal speaker

  • Internal speaker and car kit

    I am connecting my iPod 5 to the car stereo via a Belkin Tunecast transmitter. Sometimes it will work fine but at other times all I can get is the internal speaker on the iPod. Changing volume makes no difference.
    This always happens if I have to stop the car and stop the iPod mid song. When I resume it goes straight to the internal speaker. The speaker seems more trouble than it is worth.
    Any ideas?

    I get same thing sometimes when I first plug my Nano into the docking port I have in my car. I think it might be because they're 3rd party items that aren't set up to be compatible with the 5th generation, so they may not match up to the Nano's port 100%. I just wiggle mine a little when I plug it in and it works just fine.

  • No sound is coming from the internal speaker of iPod touch

    The internal speaker on my iPod touch no longer works. I've already reset it, any other ideas? And yes, it did work before.

    was it water or physically damaged, if not
    then just check the volume button on the right hand side if volume is not low
    if still facing issues then u just need to go to an apple store and get it replaced if your device is still under warranty
