IPhone 3G speaker volume extremely LOW

Hi my GF's iPhone 3G OS2.2, the volume is sooo low she has to put the phone to speaker to hear anyone, this is not practical and very inconvenient.
Should she take the phone back to the store?

I have had similar problems with Speaker volume since installing I-dicto (voice recorder) and Lonely planet Spanish translator. Both should play through the external speakers at reasonable volume and neither would. I corrected the problem by adjusting the VOLUME LIMIT under settings/i pod. IT was maxed so I turned it down and then back up. I also changed the EQ to small speakers. Honestly I'm not sure which one fixed the problem but both programs have decent volume now. I later changed the EQ to some other settings just to check and they all seemed to work fine. It's as if something was stuck and messing with these settings dislodged it. Overall I find the i phone speaker volume disappointing but what can you do?

Hello sir.
My product is pavilion entertainment notebook.
And now after you replied my first complain I have put the finger print issue behind I have bug still with my sound.
I installed the sound driver as its too low and downloaded IDT SOUND DRIVER found in de driver download section.
But dis dis not solve the problem, it only got the volume just one inche louder and I tried RELTEK sound DRIVER and again this one did not change any tin.
U made mention of MSUAA what's dis about? And can it increase my speaker sound?
Pls?
Microsoft UAA Bus Driver for the audio chip integrated into your systemboard can be found at the microsoft update website. It is required as part of the operatng system. No, it won't increase the sound level your notebook is capable of. If you desire more volume then I suggest that you purchase an amplified external sound system (Creative is a decent brand) to plug into the audio out jack on your notebook.
Best regards,

Speaker volume too low on 3GS - any way to increase it?

The speaker volume is too low on my IPhone 3GS. Other than the volume control is there any other way to increase it?

With volume control do you mean the buttons on the side of the phone? or in settings? When playing something on speaker and i want it louder, I just click the up button on the side of the phone.

Brand new iPhone 5s earpiece volume very low while making/receiving calls

I bought an iPhone 5s yesterday, set it up and updated it to iOS 7.0.3 and much to my dismay I tried to make a call and the earpiece volume is extremely low. Is there a simple fix for this or some sort of explanation or should I book an appointment at the apple store and ask for a replacement. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks

This is not normal.
Take it in to any Apple Storev for evaluation.

HP Pavilion DV6 Notebook Speaker Volume Too Low

I have all speaker/audio settings everywhere set at maximum, but the speaker volume I get when I play any kind of audio or video feed from anywhere is way too low. (If I plug external speakers into the headphone jack, the volume is much better.) I've seen all of the posts where the solution was to do something on the "Enhancements" tab in Playback Devices, Properties, but I don't have that tab on my system. When I go into the Configure option and do the audio test, the volume there is great! I've also checked for updates on my audio drivers and the results have come back saying I have the best version already.
I've been putting up with this for a long time, but I'm really tired of having to plug external speakers in when I want to watch a video or listen to streaming music. I'd appreciate any suggestions (other than the one involving the "Enhancements" tab that I don't have) that might help fix this problem!

Hello @Lagil ,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I understand the audio appears to be way too low. I will do my best to help! First, please provide the following information and try the following steps:
1. The computer's model number. If you require assistance locating this information, please reference this website: Guide to finding your notebook product number
2. The computer's operating system. If you require assistance locating this information, please reference this website to determine your Windows operating system.
3. Does this occur on certain programs, or all programs?
4. Have you installed any new software or drivers on this computer, before the issue appeared?
5. What steps have been attempted from the following thread, and what were the results: Troubleshooting Guide: Audio does not Work after a Certain Period of Time
Thanks!

External bluetooth speaker volume to low

Hello,
I have an external bluetooth speaker from jawbone called jambox. From the start on I had the normal speaker volume like I also stil have it if I connected the bluetooth speaker with my iPod touch. But some day ago, the volume from my whole Mac (not just from iTunes) dropped through my Jawbone. It is not just about 40% of that, what I know of, that the Jawbone Jambox is able to bring.
This problem exists through all audio / video programs on my Macbook Pro. So like in iTunes, also in VLC or MplayerX. Everywhere. The software sound of MacOS Lion is on maximum. Also the sound control of the jambox itself is reached. It seems like there is a protection against to high volume anywhere turned on which just do not allow me to turn up the volume beyond a specifc point of db.
But, I can only repeat: The speaker is in a good shape. I am able to play music much more louder with my iPod paired. But just not with my macbook. I am looking for a "hidden" option to disable the maximum volume limitation of my Mac to the speaker.
Would be happy if anyone know a solution for that issue...

Same issue
Works fine on my HTC thunderbolt, Even works fine on my brothers Mac (same year and OS build).
My audio used to work fine through my bluetooth adapters but now the audio is way lower than it should be. This is a recent problem, it worked fine before. I believe an update may have cuased this, then again my brothers mac is working just fine even after the update. I even tried switching the bluetooth adapter and it still has the problem so I know its my Mac.
Please fix this issue...
Me and my brother Both have 2011 Macbook Pros, running 10.7.4 and the adapters are Blackberry adapters used to receive the audio from my mac and play through my home entertainment system via aux jack from the bluetooth adapter.

New MBP max speaker volume much lower than 2008 MBP

I have just bought a new (black keyboard) MBP. I still have an older 2008 MBP of nearly identical specification (which had started to become unreliable).
The speakers on the old MBP when turned up to maximum, are about 10dB louder than those on the new MBP. This makes the new MBP far too quiet.
I did migrate apps to the new one, but there are no hacks or anything like that.
Is there anything (apart from the System Prefs panel and the application volume control) that would be limiting the speaker volume on the new MBP? Or is it intrinsic to the new model? (I hope not). Happens across all audio apps, including the "bips" from the keyboard volume control keys.
DN

Yes. The old MBP is much louder. I have the "decibel" app on my iPhone which is surprisingly accurate, and playing the same track on iTunes on the two machines shows a clear difference in output volume (max). Between 8 and 10dB. It's clearly obvious just by ear, too.
The old MBP started behaving erratically (no drag and drop, bluetooth disappeared altogether) and since I'm away from home and the laptop is (in NASA-speak) "mission critical" I bought a new (very pretty) one while I could still transfer apps from the old to the new. Subsequently I was able to fix the problems on the old one (thanks to this list) however, my partner wants the old one (as a Windows-convert wannabe) so the older machine is going to be put to good use.

Windows xp professional speaker volume very low

hello. I have a macbook6,1 with mac osx (most up to date). I have bootcamp(3.2) running windows xp pro sp3 all updated. My macbook speaker volume is super low in any application and I have all volume options turned up. Help please!

You won't lose anything in a restore if you do a backup first. After the restore is done, you'll be prompted whether you want your backup restored to the phone and sync will restore your apps/playlists/etc.

IPhone 6 Plus Bluetooth Volume Extremely Low

I purchased an iPhone 6+ and have paired it to my car (Ford) and motorcycle (Harley) but have an issue where the volume turned all the way up to max, you can barely hear when playing music. The sound is normal when email, messages or Siri is used, only music seems to be low. I have tried resetting settings and deleted paring to no avail. This is also happening for my girlfriends 6+ in her vehicle with aftermarket Pioneer stereo.
At first I thought it might have been an iOS 8 issue, but had updated my 5s to iOS 8 when it was released and bluetooth sound worked perfectly the couple days I used it after upgrading. Maybe this has to do with the A2DP Profile on the i6?
Side note: Volume works as designed when plugged in via the USB/Lightning cable.
Are there others having the same issue?

I am having the same issue. I believe there is something extremely wrong with Bluetooth on the iPhone 6 (or I have a bad phone). It starts playing at a good volume, then about 1 - 2 songs in, it suddenly goes to half the volume. Only thing that fixes it is to close the music app on the phone and start over. Although it'll do it again. It has nothing to do with the actual bluetooth connection to the device, as they stay connected. I have this issue with my Kenwood unit in the car, and the stereo receiver in the home, and other bluetooth devices I've tried. Never had the issue with my old phone and these devices, or if I hardwire the connection. On a long road trip recently, I'd just have to turn up the sound on the receiver, and then randomly (an hour in) the volume corrects and just about blows out my hearing!
I was hoping there would be a software update to solve this glitch. Come on apple, for a phone that costs this much and is meant to be the greatest - this is terrible!

IPhone Ear Speaker Volume

I am having a tough time figuring out how to increase the volume of ear speaker phone for calls - I can hardly hear the person on the other line. I tried the volume switch on the side and it does not seem to do anything.

if this is a brand new phone, it came with the screen surrounded by a plastic cover, this is intented for shipping only as it blocks the earpiece. I recomend buying a screen protector personally but the one that came with the iPhone is not meant to be used and makes it impossible to hear when using the phone. It was designed for shipping only and designed to be removed upon unboxing.
hope this helps

Iphone 3g Keypad Volume Gets Low At Times

I have a iphone 3g. When I press the keypad to make a phone call or whatever, the keypad sound just gets low. For example I press one number and it sounds fine, press the next number after that and it's low again...and so forth. This really doesn't bother me that much but I'd just thought I'd ask if anyone know of a fix to this.
Thanks

I have the same problem. Mine changes to a very low tapping volume usually as I type a text message - sometimes comes back to life and gets louder again in the same message. Its really annoying. Could it be a third party app interferring? Mine is not JB or unlocked - std from apple.

IPhone 4s speaker volume goes really loud after Siri or speaker phone?

Anyone else notice the speaker phone volume goes really loud on the 4s after using Siri, voice memo, or speaker phone in general? Even when the volume is set low (like one or two) any thoughts? Not for games, music, or movies though.

I apoligize, after I wrote this then it showed like four other threads about it. Sorry for the re-thread.

E51 - speaker volume too low.

Hi All, I have an E51 and the problem I have is it's so hard to hear anything.

or right on the navigation button during call.
and I've upgraded to 3xx, but it still is low!
Too many friend have the same problem.
Please Help......

I am sure the warranty on your phone is expired and you don't really care. I also know your intentions are genuine and you mean well.
However, discussions involving the disassembly of phones is expressly prohibited by Nokia because it may result in other users voiding their warranties.
Don't take this personally because I agree with your post but it may be removed by the moderators in the morning..
