IPhone Speaker volume is 50 % lower then new

Hi guys
My iPhone main output speaker is not loud. I got a new iPhone for my brother and his is 50% louder then my own when are volumes is full up.
Is it hardware or software problem. I have it from day one June 29 works well and has not been drop not once. I try everything to fix it but still same problem

With the variety of iPhones I have access to (mine, wifes, friends, co-workers) we have all noticed differences (like I mentioned). And me and my friend both were there day 1 and both of ours were the same (like my wifes first). When he got a new one (as he was stolen) it saw/heard differences. Then my wifes new one is like his and mine is clearly different (day 1 phone).
In the generic sense, hardware is the same as there is a speaker, x abount of memory, attennas, etc...but a different brand of speaker while different, can allow Apple to say there have been no changes in the general sense of the statement.

I have a new iphone6+ and have paired it to my 3 cars. When playing music from my iphone, the volume is very low and I have to turn the car volume to max to listen. I had no issues with previous iphone parings. Pls help.

Sorry if this is too basic or confusing
Apparently in iOS 8 there are different volume settings for different applications
The setting on the home screen does not carry over to Pandora for example and it is different ( or at least appears to be) for the in-car experience.
So I would try to stream the music when not in the car - see if you can turn the volume up and then try again in the car
Please let us know what happens
Thanks

What move to make for iphone speaker volume

I have been reading all kinds of goods and bads about the iphones speaker volume over the last week. Yes ipod sounds good to me (Not to where I would ever wanna listen to it in speaker mode.) And NO, my speaker phone does not sound good. Way too low. Im starting to wonder if the people in the forums are saying theirs sounds fine because they have only tested it where there is silence. I'm not looking to be able to hear any speaker phone in the middle of a crowded bar, but I can not even hear it when it is all the way up and sitting beside me in the car, with the windows up. I find myself grabbing it and putting it right near my ear. So....... has anyone determined if this is a software issue or a hardware issue? Should I be bringing my iphone back or wait out the software update? I am surprised that with the release of the phone and all the questions being posted there is no portal for apple employees or techs to address some of these questions like a faqs page targeting some of the consistent questions over the last week. And don't get me wrong I love my iphone and i am not amongst the crew of people in these forums bashing it. Never owned a blackberry or treo or any of that stuff. I said years ago i will purchase something like that when apple puts one out. Never owned a pc in my life and I embrace this phone.

has anyone determined if this is a software issue or a hardware issue?
I assume since the iPod is capable of putting a fair bit of volume through the earpiece that it's a software problem. Have you turned-off volume limits in Settings?
Should I be bringing my iphone back or wait out the software update?
Tough call, if you're trying to decide by the 14 day window. Call Apple under warranty service, tell them if they can't guarantee a volume fix you're going to have to return the phone?
You can ask Apple for iPhone changes via this link:
http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html Though if you're requesting hardware changes for iPhone v2 you may want to wait a week (or a month?)...they're probably going to be inundated right now by requests for software changes to the current iPhone.

IMac- External Bose speaker volume is suddenly low

I can't figure out what happened between yesterday and today but suddenly my speaker volume is really low. I've read the forums and tried some different things but I can't seem to get the volume that I normally have... disturbing. Any thoughts?

Not a hardware/sofward issue, user error. Someone used the volume slider bar on the Spotify app. Didn't even know that existed but issue resolved.

Speaker Volume Gone Too Low Suddenly

Hi,
I have an iPhone4 and it has worked like a charm for about a year now. Just recently, out of nowhere the volume on the speakers have gone extremly low. It is so low that you can only hear if you hold the speakers part of your phone close to your ear and there is no other sound/noise around you. On the first day this happened, I tried turning it off and back on again a few times without any success.
Then when I was playing a game next day, the volume came back up again suddenly and the phone was back to normal. It only lasted a few hours though, the same thing happened again and the volume has gone low since then. I have tried so many things hoping it is a software issue and might get resolved by doing a factory restore, but it's not helping at all.
Has anyone had this problem before? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
And if this is a hardware issue, is it fixable by replacing speakers or something? What should I do next in order to get this resolved?
Regards,
Hiral

Okay, for the record, the problem was dirt in the speaker, which was blocking it and muffling the sound. I managed to open the case (thank you Youtube) and get in their with compressed air, which managed to blow out whatever junk was in there. It made a huge difference. So that was it!

Increasing iPhone Speaker Volume - Silly but it works

I was watching a movie on my iPhone and I discovered a simple way to markedly increase the volume of the iPhone speakers. As we all know the iPhone speakers are on the bottom of the unit. When operating the iPhone in the landscape mode the speakers are then obviously to the right.
While watching the movie and holding the iPhone someone asked me a question and I moved my right hand which was partially holding the iPhone (my left was holding the other end obviouysly). The speaker volume went down considerably. With my curiosity in full gear I began playing with the placement of my right hand on the iPhone (the speaker end). By putting ones fingers under the right end of the iphone and cupping the palm slightly towards you you will find the volume increased considerably. I also tried this with the speaker phone on calls and the same effect was noticed.
Try it, you'll be pleasantly surprised.

wow, that's a pretty cool tip! I'll have to give it a try.

HP dv6 (windows 7-64): Speaker Volume is too low

Hello All,
I know you have been dealing with "volume is too low" issues in the pass and I wonder if you would like to help me.
I own a HP Pavillion dv6 quad edition (windows 7-64) and I am using the latest IDT driver for my laptop but the volume is really bad (too low). The problem is only present with the laptop's speakers because when I use headphones the sound is very good.
I have already tried the trick one of you have reccomended ---i.e. to uninstall latest driver (and software) and install the previous IDT driver so that I would get the "loudness enhancements" tab. I did it, and eventually got access to the tab but then the sound of my laptop went completely off... no sound whatsoever. In the end, I had to reinstall the latest IDT driver and since had regained sound again but the "volume is too low" issue obviously remains.
Any ideas?

IPhone speaker volume unequal for each speaker

This is weird; the volume on my left iphone speaker seems much louder than on my right one. Is there a balance control somewhere? I cover up the right speaker and hear no difference; cover up the left; and I block 95% of the sound....
Normal? Not?

The only "grill" or opening on top front face is the iPhone's earpiece, which is nothing but an earpiece. To the left of the earpiece located underneath the glass is the iPhone's proximity sensor and light sensor, which doesn't have an opening through the glass.
The iPhone has a single speaker - always has - with the first generation or original iPhone, with the 3G, and with the 3GS.

Volume slowly gets lower, then just silence.

Just got my FIOS installed yesterday. 2 of my boxes work fine, but the main living room one has sound issues.
When I got home from work, the picture was fine, but there was no sound.
Figuring maybe I cabled the sound cables wrong, I took out the audio cables from the TV to cable box, and reinserted them. I then rebooted the Verizon box, and after it rebooted, sound returned to normal. After about 20 minutes of watching TV, I noticed the sound was slowly getting lower. I turned the sound all the way up to see if perhaps I have mistakenly hit the volume on the remote, but the sound only went up marginally, even though I turned it to max volume. After about 5 minutes, the sound went away again completely.
I repeated the first process to troubleshoot again, and got sound to work again. I only watched TV for 15 minutes, and had no issues. before turning TV off and going to bed last night.
When I woke up this morning, I turned on the TV and sound was gone again. I again tried to remove and put audio cables back in, rebooted the box, but now sound will not return. I know the cables from TV to box are OK as they worked on the last cable box I had and they were working after the cable box reboot before the sound slowly died.
Wasn't sure if I needed a new box? I did notice when the cable box was installed, it has a little bit of snow on it (from storm in Massachusetts) so I wasn't sure if maybe the water got in the box somehow and perhaps screwed with the volume piece.
Any help would be appreciated.

At work so not in front of it right now unfortunately so I'll have to try those steps when I get home.
-I did confirm it happens on all channels as that was something i checked to make sure it just wasn't some random station. No volume to any station.
- I did note that when i unhooked the audio cables and placed them back in, if I got a loud humming noise from the TV, that's when the resetting the box would resolve the volume issue. This morning I did not get any humming noise.
-The TV settings showed normal when I looked this morning before work.
I will try to see if I can get it work through TV rather than cable to resolve the issue as suggested. I will alos try the menu suggestions
I may also switch the box with another one in my house to se if it is indeed a TV issue or a box issue.
Thank you very much for your help

IPhone speaker volume changes when connected to apple tv

If anyone has had this problem as well I would be interested but when I first got my iPhone 4S I realized it was loud. After disconnecting from the apple tv my max volume is lower. When I reconnect to the apple tv (by using it to play music from my phone) the my volume is louder again. Is this a bug or just my phone. Lol. And yes my volume is maxed out in both situations. It's almost like the speakers get boosted when connected to a different audio source.

You would need to connect the speakers to the apple tv if that is where the video is playing.

My speaker volume is very low now that I did the most recent update

I recently did an update on my 4s. Since the update, I can barely hear people talking to me on the phone. I cannot have any background noise at all. i have used the buttons on the side and the volume does not change.

Check to see if you are both using the same Apple ID for iMessage. If you are, one of you should go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with a different ID. (You can continue to share the same ID for other services such as iTunes.)

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.

IPad mini retina low speaker volume

I've just bought my iPad mini retina and I have noticed that the speaker volume is very low. I know the speakers are small as of the size of the device but even my iphone 5s with one speaker is louder and was not sure if this was normal or my device not working correctly? I've got until 11th of jan to take back for exchange and would rather get it sorted before that if it is the device causing this issue

Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
Check your settings. The iPads have a small switch on the right edge. It can be used as a rotation lock to keep the screen from automatically reorienting itself as you move around, but you need to have the tablet’s settings configured properly. That same switch, right above the volume buttons, can also be set to function instead as a mute button to silence certain types of audio.
If the switch is set to work as a mute button, you can change its purpose to “screen-rotation lock” by tapping the Settings icon on the home screen. On the Settings screen, tap General on the left side, and on the right side of the screen flick down to “Use Side Switch to.” Tap to select Lock Rotation or Mute to set the button’s function. Even if you set the side switch for your preferred use, you can still mute the Mini or lock the screen. Just double-click the Home button, and when the panel of apps appears along the bottom edge of the screen, flick the row from left to right with your finger. Tap the icon on the far left side of the row to either lock the iPad’s screen or mute the iPad’s alerts, notifications and sound effects. Music, podcasts and video are not muted unless you turn the volume all the way down.

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.
