Ipad sound problem (super low volume)

Hi guys can you please help me with my problem. Earlier last year i posted that i have a speaker problem.. At first i thought the sounds had totally disappear, but there came a time that it came back for a while but whenever i press the volume up button it disappears again.. After that i thought it disappeared again for good. Until this day i saw a video in youtube that says that it didn't disappear it just went down (meaning the volume of the speaker just went down to almost silent). I hear tiny sounds in my speaker but i cant get it to volume up even though my volume bar is max. Can someone help me.

Sound is very low volume

I've done a search but can't seem to find any info re the sound volume on my bw G3. The sound out of both the front, built in speaker, and through the headphones, is very low volume output, almost but not quite muted. I've searched and adjusted the controls but to no avail. Could this be a hardware problem or software? There 'is' some movement when I adjust the volume slider but it takes the level from what would normally be 2 of 10 down to nothing. That is, there is no way for me to get the sound to levels that within normal limits. It's like the output is being blocked somehow but is still leaking through enough for me to make out the particular sound (song in this case) that I'm listening to.
Any help would be appreciated. It might not be worth puttiing any money into and I'd like to at least try.

Michael,
Sounds like you are ahead of the game on testing with headphones. External speakers would not make much of a difference without an amplifier.
"(is there another place to check sound output?)" If you had an AV output you could test sound out of that card. Finding a card might be cheaper than any repair bill and give you a definative answer on if their is a system software level problem.

These articles do not all address your model but give some perspective on software and hardware issues, including how just reseting the PRAM on some machines is the official Apple response.
If you go to the advanced search link at the top of the page and make a query for "no sound" you should get a response similar to this link:

Be sure and include pre 1997 hardware.

My Ipad Sound problem

I am also experiencing sound problem since the last iOS update. Mine is the iPad 2 and I had good sounds up until the last update ~ now I get mixed terrible sound with strong radio parasite type of sound. The side mute button not working at all. Sounds on all app, music YouTube alerts etc very mixed and terrible. I tried all resetting ways and it didn't help either. VERY frustrating! As a lifetime Apple user I think this needs to be addressed.

thank you philly for your answer
the problem is i live in Egypt and we only have an authorised reseller not an Apple store
they dont gurantee or warrent any I device that is not purchased from them although it have an international warrenty and i still have warrenty on my IPad, i only bought it 2 months ago
it is also diffcult for me to send it to apple us or uk for this repair
do you have any idea?

Videos play too fast on ipad - sounds like super high speed mini mouse

We just bought the ipad and when we play videos on vimeo or youtube they play at an ultra high speed like the fps is messed up - it sounds like a record being played too fast
Is this our ipad or a setting - we are worried because we do not see the problem listed anywhere else.
Thanks!

Have your rebooted/restarted your iPad? you do that by pressing the Home and power/sleep button at the same time until the slider to power off the iPad appears. Slide the slider and when screen activity stops depress the two buttons again until the Apple logo appears. When the iPad completes rebooting try again to see if that solved your problem.

Super low volume on Firefox

I have this weird problem
i can barely hear something while playing youtube vids on firefox
at first the volume was just a little bit low but now i cant hear anything
i already tried with other browsers and the volume works right
i checked the volume mixer and firefox is at the top
youtube videos volume is at the highest
i need help with this, i dont want to change my browser

You can remove all data stored in Firefox from a specific domain via "Forget About This Site" in the right-click context menu of an history entry ("History > Show All History" or "View > Sidebar > History") or via the about:permissions page.
Using "Forget About This Site" will remove all data stored in Firefox from that domain like bookmarks, cookies, passwords, cache, history, and exceptions, so be cautious and if you have a password or other data from that domain that you do not want to lose then make sure to backup this data or make a note.
You can't recover from this 'forget' unless you have a backup of the involved files.
It doesn't have any lasting effect, so if you revisit such a 'forgotten' website then data from that website will be saved once again.
Try to clear the Flash local storage and settings for YouTube.
*Windows Control Panel > Flash Player > Storage: Local Storage Settings
**Remove a specific domain: Local Storage Settings by site
**Remove all domains: Delete All and Delete Data

GS60 2PE Sound Problem To low

Does anyone know how to make my sound louder? I have windows 7 pro and the sound has always been to low when I play music, youtube, etc.
Any Info would be helpful
Thanks
Chris

Have you installed Sound Blaster Cinema 2 (SBC2)?
http://www.msi.com/support/nb/GS60-2PE-Ghost-Pro.html#down-utility
If yes, it has smart volume feature and may automatically decrease the volume according to the peak value of the overall sound.
You can disable it in SBC2 manager first.

Ipad sound problem

the unit is not producing any sounds other than those from the iPod application.
no alerts no notifications at all.
I used the earphone jack and the bluetooth connection, teh same result, only iPod sounds.
A hard reset had been performed, restored to unit from iTunes and still no sounds.
Any ideas please?
Cheers,
Ahmad

If you are on iOS 4.2 then is the notification mute switch (the old rotation lock on the right hand side) 'on' ? Rotation lock is a software function on the taskbar in 4.2 and the switch mutes notifications e.g. so that you can watch videos or listen to music without hearing email notifications etc. Rotation lock : double-click the home button, sllide from the left, and its the button far left; press home again to exit the taskbar; repeat to switch off rotation lock.
If you are on iOS 4.3 then the switch can be configured in Settings > General to either be rotation lock or notification mute.

Iphone 5 not making sounds - or very low volume

I had an iphone 4 for over 3 years and it was perfect. I upgraded to an iphone 5 and now constant issues with the volume of tones for text, phone and even sending tone. It just randomly mutes completely or goes to a volume that you can barely hear. All volume controls are at high, the do not disturb is turned off, the mute button is not on. The only thing that fixes this is to power off the phone and turn back on. This is highly aggravating as first I have to miss calls and text to realize the volume isnt working again and then power it down again. This is occuring daily. If I do use the mute button at all as soon as I turn it from mute to on I have to power it down as the tones dont work. Why is this happening?

Sound Problems on iPad: how to fix, easy [video]

Hi dear iPad user,
Most people will, eventually, have sound problems: the cause can be complex as a 'miss-behaved' app that messes the sound engine or as simple as the iPad being forgotten on Mute/Volume Down.
I used to help family and friends to fix their iPads' sound problems by sending them 'text' instruction steps... lots of times they ended up calling me on the phone...
So I made a video (short: 1m40s):
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FjBP-Ncj_fE
It shows:
how to unmute the sound (even if the side-switch locks the rotation of the screen)
how to put volume up
how to close all the apps (in the case there is an App messing with the sound system)
how to reboot the iPad (ultimatelly fixes hard cases of messed sound system)
What it won't fix: if you have a hardware problem...
If you do all the steps and you get NO SOUND AT ALL, please, try also checking if you car listen sounds using a HEADPHONE (you know are working conditions). If you can listen to sounds in the headphone but no sound at all in the iPad's built in speaker, well, there might be a hardware problem and you should look for help on an Apple Retail Store or other official technical support available at your location.
Hope this helps!
Everson.

UPDATE: fixing iPad Sound after iOS 7
http://youtu.be/SDf1LDcE95Q
(1min 36sec)
It covers the basics:
checking side-switch / mute / "Control Center"
volume all up
...and also the worst cases:
closing all apps (for rare cases when a single app might render the sound system instable)
rebooting the iPad
So, don't get desparete: try the things in the video.
There are people who reported having forgotten an audio-bluetooth connection activated with a turned-off sound-system or speakers... or forgot Air-Play turned on... so be sure you disengage bluetooth and/or airplay.
On the 'hardware side', dirty dock connector (30 pin) can make the iPad 'think' it is connected to external audio - if so, cleaning it with a dry toothbrush can fix. Also, moisture in the headphones connector can make the iPad switch to 'headphones' even without headphones connected, making it silent: check if you can hear things with headphones plugged in - if so, try gently inserting and removing headphones a few times and check if you get sound back to iPad's speakers alone.
Good luck to everybody! Audio problems are quite common - fontunately they are easy to fix.

7.6 low volume of sounds

ever since updating to 7.6.80.103 the sounds have a low volume since previous versions.
for example when wearing headphones, and i receive a message i would hear the sound very loud in my ears, now i can barely hear it.
everything is in max setting in both skype and in windows volume sliders.
did you lower the volume of the sounds?

Hey themky,
Thanks for the question. After reviewing your post, it sounds like a problem with the receiver on the iPhone. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help you resolve or isolate the issue.
If you can't hear a person on a call or voicemail or if the sound quality is poor on iPhone
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Have a nice day,
Mario

Sound problems with Tomtom 930T over bluetooth

I have sound dropouts problems when using the handsfree mode on my Tomtom 930T.
Sound will just drop to a super low volume, then come back up multiple times throughout a phonecall.
It's totally consistent (timed it to a recorded message, it happens at the same spots all the time).
It's not the Tomtom (tried another non-iphone phone and it works fine, tried pairing my iphone to another tomtom and it shows the same problem).
Any ideas?

Understood. My point is that there isn't (AFAIK) a different bluetooth profile for car kits and GPS units.
As you probably know, Bluetooth profiles are an international standard. When the iPhone advertises the bluetooth profiles it supports (during the discovery process), it either supports it or it doesn't (same for the car kits or GPS). The iPhone has no way to then act differently because it's connected to a specific type of units rather that another (which is why the blue tooth standard was made in the first place). If it supports the bluetooth profile for hands-free (which is he one used for car kits & headsets) and both have implemented the standard properly, then it should work no problem.
I hope this makes sense
My suspicion are in an implementation bug on the iPhone or the TomTom. I'm trying to find other people with similar issues to diagnose which one is more likely.
Anyone else with sound issues on car-kits or GPSs?

6233 low volume alarm tone

I'm facing a problem with low volume of the alarm tone. In fact it is not reliable enough for waking me up !
I know the alarm tone is ascending by default, but when it reach its highest level it is a bit lower than a ringing tone for incoming calls for example. That's mean it is very tender and hardly could be heard on a noisy streat and what about waking me up in the morning.
Please let me know if it is possible to turn off the ascending mode of the alarm tone. There is such an option for the ringing tone of incoming calls, but not for the alarm alert. However, the ascending mode is not the problem, but the low volume of the alarm tone at all.
Share your opinions and experience. Thanks in advance to all 6233 users.

it is not possible to change the ascending feature on the alarm tone. what you can do is select another tone apart from the default tones. i use one of the defaults, can't recall which one it is, but its the loudest and it wakes me up on a morning. or you can try using radio or a full length song.
everything happens for a reason

Very low volume on headphone jack on MBP 13" but no red light

Hi I am looking for solution for my problem where in I am currently getting very low volume on headphone jack. There was no problem before, everything used to work perfectly fine.
I couldn't find comprehensive solution for this. Could anyone please point me to the correct thread if solution is already available.
my details:
MBP 13" Snow leopard, 10.6.5 - First Gen. Unibody MAC.
problem: Very low volume when headphone is connected.
Things: I have tried:
1. Headphone is fine. Works correctly on windows PC and on my iphone.
2. Tried system pref. volume is max.
3. Upon connecting headphone to MBP it is detected as headphone.
4. Tried Audio MIDI setup, settings seem to be correct 44.1KHz 2ch-16 bit
5. There is NO red light from headphone jack.
6 Tried poking toothpicks in to audio out but didn't help.
7 Tried creating new temp. admin user account but headphone low volume remains.
8. Tried safe boot - no joy.
9 Safe boot was followed by normal boot-> Ran Disk Util tried repair permission. No luck.
10. Also followed steps to clear PR RAM etc. - problem remains.
11. Heard about logic board replacement but don't want to go by that route.
Can anyone point me to correct thread or provide the solution..
help is much appreciated.
Thanks...

I have the exact same problem. i have a macbook pro 13in (mid 2009) with extremely low volume coming from headphone jack. i brought the computer into my local apple store today and they diagnosed my problem as being the result of a faulty logic board. my laptop is out of warranty so they have to send it to the apple repair depot for 3-5 days. the charge is a flat $280 (tax not included). the solution seems extreme though and i hope i don't get any "kernel panicking" with a new board. i will update... also there is no accidental damge to my laptop whatsoever. the problem arrose 2-3wks ago

Sometimes my iphone 5S produces low sound even on full volume level. Then i do restart it. But i am not sure where exactly the problem is? Need help.

Hi saiyed adil,
Thank you for contributing to the Apple Support Communities.
It appears that your iPhone 5s sometimes produces low sound, but a restart corrects it.
It can take some time to isolate and resolve intermittent issues like this one, and I'd recommend going through the steps in this guide the next time it occurs:
If you hear no sound or distorted sound from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch speaker - Apple Support
All the best,
Jeremy

The maximum SOUND level is low on iPad mini retina, compared to an iPhone 4s. Research shows this is a common problem for this model around the world. Has anyone succeeded in solving this issue? Many Thanks, Peter.
