IPad speaker volume not loud enough

It seems to me that my iPad (latest model / software as of this date) speaker volume could be louder.  Other family members have the new Mini's and they have much more volume, as do our iPhones.  Is there a way to increase or improve the speaker volume on the iPad?
Thanks!

I have yet to receive my ipad 2 yet, but I'm sure the physical design of the case has something to do with it.
The ipad 1 emits to the side, where as ipad 2 emits toward the back. Movies have a very dynamic volume range compared to music, and I've found even on the ipad 1 that the volume could be louder, especially if there's existing ambient noise.
If I didn't have my earbuds, I would cup the speaker with my hand to direct the sound foward... not sure how well that would work with the ipad 2.

  • Volume - Not loud enough.

    My husband and I would like to listen/watch videos without headphones, however, the maximum volume is not loud enough for us to understand some words. Is there a way of increasing the maximum volume output without the use of external speakers or headphones?
    Thanks.

    Open iTunes on your computer---Podcast--->
    Pick the Podcast you want to raise the volume--->
    Press the keys...Command+i--->
    Press the Option tab--->
    Check the box Volume Adjustment...Set the volume to your liking.
    or set it to 100%
    If you want to do all the podcast at one time. Choose all the podcasts at one-time. You can do the same with movies and music too. If you want to adjust the volume to a select few in you library, Seclect All--->Option key and click on the podcasts (video, music) that you want to deselect.

  • Does the iPhone 4S volume speaker is not loud?

    Doed the iPhone 4S volume speaker is not loud?

    If you are asking for the relative volume of the speaker, it should be loud enough to make calls in a quiet to moderately loud room via speakerphone or otherwise.
    If you are asking if it is normal for sound to only come out of one side of the speaker at the bottom of the phone, then yes. One side is the speaker, and the other side is the microphone.

    If your dock is connected to an amplifier/speaker system try this:
    With your phone sitting in the dock, try to increase the volume, using the volume control buttons of the phone. Set it to max and you should have more sound coming out of your speakers.

  • ITunes not loud enough

    I have a Toshiba P205 notebook. All the drivers are up to date. When I listen to podcasts on iTunes, I have to turn the volume all the way up, set the preamp to max, everything, and it's still not loud enough. When I run the 'test' app from Realtek, it's loud enough to break glass. What's up with iTunes?
    Same thing on my iPhone 3GS. Just not loud enough.
    Ideas?

    iTunes has its own volume separate from the system volume. Top left under the Play button.

  • Microphone voice of iPhone4 is not loud enough

    I call to my parents yesterday, but they complained the voice was not loud enough.
    Version is 5.11, I bought it in Apple.com 18 September.

    - Go to Settings>Sound and see if a Sound Limit is set. I
    Make sure it is at max
    - EU has recently required that devices like the iPod limit volume lower to preserve hearing. Thee is no way to raise that limit.  USA and other placs to not have that limit. The limit is locked to a unique identifier on the iPod like SN so restoring does not remove it.

  • HT1918 the tone is not loud enough on my i pod

    My tone is not loud enough on my i pod and i can not make it louder.

    I´m using same config, MBA rocksmith cable and Mic powered by a (singleAA baterry) Ive tried recording in Quicktime (more or less noise, good volume), audacity(way too low volume) SoundtrackPro (same low volume), GARAGEBAND (lot better volume and very decent recording, great presets and much better export options!
    when you listen your recording on garageband it will sound LOW volume, im using mac headphones almost at max vol, maybe it lowers the volume so there is no feedback,... BUT whe you export to file and open it on Soundtrack or quicktime VOALA! normal voice recording is hitting 0dbs, so that gives me chance to lower down to -12dbs after doing my edits.
    Use GARAGEBAND to recrod voice, or any other intrument, works great with Rocksmith USB cable, mic does require use of AA battery.
    Busting my head with this for hrs until I tried Garageband.
    good luck.

  • HT4528 sound is not loud enough

    My ringtones for phone calls is not loud enough.  Is there a way to increase this other than the norm?

    To turn the volume up, go to Settings > Sounds and slide the volume bar to the right.
    Press the volume + button when you're on your home screen to turn the sound up.
    Double-tap your Home button and flick your finger from left to right TWICE and slide that bar to the right
    Remove any cases that you have and test it also
    If its still not loud enough for you after doing these, you can reset all settings (Settings > General > Reset). If its still not quite what you want, restore it as new in iTunes on your computer or take it to the Apple Store http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414?viewlocale=en_US

  • Zen Vision M 30 GB : sound not loud enough and how to change title of albums on the

    Hi, I'm a french ZVM new user so sorry for my bad english !?Two questions :?) I have very good ears, I don't like to listen the music too loud?but my ZVM does not play loud enough. I always need to put volume on level 25 (the maximum) when I'm listening to ZVM outside (and in the quiet of my house, I still have to put volume around 22 to hear something). I've red on this forum that one of the solution is to upgrade the version of the firmware. My ZVM is loaded at present with version .40.02. Can the download of the last version available on the creative website solve my problem ? Is there another way to solve it ?2) I've used the software CREATIVE MEDIA EXPLORER to load my cd's albums on my ZVM. But there are some mistakes in the title of the albums loaded (the ID3 tag are sometimes wrong). How can I change the wrong titles on my ZVM ? I've changed them on the files on my PC, with CREATIVE MEDIA EXPLORER but the changes are not uploaded on my ZVM. Thanks a lot for your answers and advices

    For the sound issue, try some diff buds and see what happens. Contact customer support.

  • Home connect speaking volume too loud

    I recently purchased Home connect.  I have 3 bars of signal.  The speaking volume is so loud that the audio is breaking up and severly distorted.  We purchased new high end Panasonic cordless phones-same problem.  The corded phone sounds the same.  I went through the ##1 process and set the level to 1.  I think this changes the listening volume not the speaking volume.  It did not change the symtoms.  Not sure where to go from here.
    Thanks for any thoughts

  • Zen 4 gb volume not loud enou

    I just purchased the zen 4 gb and noticed that my media plays barely loud enough to hear but when i use the voice recorder the sound is great i saw online that some firmware for europee limits how loud my player can play music can anyone help me out here?

    "I just purchased the zen 4 gb and noticed that my media plays barely loud enough to hear but when i use the voice recorder the sound is great"
    to me, that doesn't sound as if the volume is limited by the player...
    perhaps you should try increasing the volume of your media?
    For mp3 files there is a nice little tool called mp3Gain, that will allow you to adjust the volume of your music, without affecting the quality (the mp3s are not re-encoded). I've set all my music to 96dB using this tool, and under normal conditions a volume of 0 is more than enough for me.Message Edited by Hmpf on 0-03-200805:49 PM

  • Lowest volume not low enough

    Has anyone else noticed that the lowest volume for listening to music with earbuds is not low enough?  I want the ability to turn it down one or two steps quieter but it will only go OFF from the lowest level.  
    I was hoping the main volume setting was a master setting but it seems to be the exact same effect as using the control buttons on the side.  The master volume is set all the way over to the left (less one step).  I do not have earbuds with their own volume setting so at the mercy of the BB controls (either on the side or on the screen).
    Are there any other ideas?

  • Output sound, NOT LOUD ENOUGH

    I HAVE UPGRADED MY MACBOOK TO LEOPARD OS, AND AUDIO IS REALLY LOW EVEN-THOUGH THE VOLUME IS REALY HIGH. I WENT TO PREFERENCE SETTING, CHECKED SETTINGS AND THEY ARE OK. I CANT HEAR MY MUSIC LOUD ENOUGH THE MY MUSIC OR ANY OTHER AUDIO. PLEASE HELP.

    Hello,
    Most notebook sound devices usually produce hallow sounds and are normally harder to hear at higher distances. Your best bet, rather than to push the limits of the speakers, ( they aren't great ) is to hook your laptop into some external speakers made for this type of operation. I usually hook my Macbook up to the TV along with my home theater system when I am using Front Row. I highly suggest you do the same.
