Low sound on iPhone 5S

I have done a side by side comparison between my iPhone 5s and my iPhone 4s concerning sound quality. My iPhone 4s has higher sound quality than my 5s. My 5s seems quieter. How would I fix this problem without going to the Genius Bar at my local Apple Store. However, I suspect that they will call me crazy and turn me at the door once I try to explain the problem just as they did prevously about my iPhone 4s. Its a 16GB Gold iPhone 5s. I have perform a hard reset and still no improvement. I have noticed that music plays louder on my iPhone 4s than 5s. So frustrated. Ugh. Just to also level the playing field of both iPhones, I update to the lastest IOS software and that still didnt make a difference. Please help.

Yes I agree. I just got my I Phone 5S a month ago. I phone 5S is not as good or as loud as the 4 in the sound quality department. I'm also having lots of trouble with people complaining about the way I Sound to them.
I hear more people say it sounds like I'm in a tunnel. Speak up, I can't hear you! Your phone sounds very noisy.
Problem will happen at the beginning of the call and never go away. If I hang up and call back that can take care of the problem. This problem will not happen on all calls. I feel like I'm back in the days of Analog before 832 channels. This is my second phone now going for number 3. Working with Verizon. I love the new features on the I Phone 5S for many reasons. But this problem is making me very unhappy. I feel like I spent a lot of money for a Phone that is in my opinion not ready at all to be sold because it has issues. Apple should give me new phones to test out for them before they sell them because I have had a cell phone since 1995. I believe that I can review the phone for problems. Make me a Phone Tester!! I love my Mac Mini, my Laptops and I Pad.
But not this I Phone 5S. I feel like I'm stuck with a lemon. Want my old I Phone 4 back but I traded it in to
offset the cost of this expensive I Phone 5S. Never had an Issue with my (4) ever.
My family has I Phones (4) exactly, no problems with model 4 and 4s.
Apple Please fix this problem with the audio quality on the I Phone 5S

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,

Hi bunjamin,
just go to BlackBerry World, and update all your apps including BBM.

you can turn off the magnifying glass :

you can deactivate the "reset to Hub view" :

Iphone 4s really low sound

Hello,
From some months I experience the problem with the sound of the iPhone 4s. The sound is really low. You can only hear it if you put your ear very near to the speakers. I've tried everything. Settings -> Sounds to max. Restarting the iPhone. Once I've played Flappy Bird, the sound like fixed itself for 2-3seconds. From low sound it turned very loud but for 2-3 seconds. Then I've tried Restoring the iPhone to its factory settings - nothing again. I lost and my Flappy Bird...
So my Question is - can we fix the sound problem and return my flappy bird? I can't download it from the gamecenter.

The question was the phone is under water - not muffled nor low sound. It is getting regular that my iPhone 4S and others I know get the sound distorted as though it is under water. I have reset the phone, turned off wifi (Apple said do this). What can be done?

Thank you. I rang Vodafone and although they were not too technical - they suggested my speaker was broken and was probably interfering with the microphone sound out as well. So thank you for the clue - I must admit to not thinking of ringing my carrier supplier. Thank goodness for two things - it is intermittent and I am due an upgrade phone in 6 weeks. I can manage till then I hope with the watery sound from time to time.

My sister had a problem with call volume being too low on the iPhone 5S. Is the iPhone 6 louder? Is anyone else feeling that call volume on iPhone 5S isn't loud enough?

I personally haven't experienced much of the "reverberation/feedback" when using a headset on the i4S...
Yes, I have near-perfect hearing too (for scope, squeaky brakes hurt my ears) I come from many conversations on many phones and types and first off, CDMA technology is great for coverage, terrible for voice quality. HD Voice in Europe made for some of the best phone conversations I've ever had.
Back on track, feedback is most noticable (similar to the landline phone) when using the iPhone without a headset, but for me it's not an absolute criticality mainly because I use VoIP apps alot, so maybe it has desensitized me some over the past year.
But whenever I'm on a call, and the other person has me on speakerphone, I have alot of trouble talking because of the feedback loop caused. So the less of my voice I hear the better I can talk.
Have you tried a bluetooth headset yet?

My ipod touch 4 has low sound and mostly hiss on playback.

My ipod touch's video playback (ie. taking a video and playing it back with the camera) is suddenly malfunctioning. It's almost a year old and no other issues previously. It hasn't been dropped or contaminated. I record video, and when I play back mostly what I hear is a loud hiss, and only barely audible low sounds such as talking. Any ideas? I recently updated is there any way to revert? Also after update the video and camera functioned locked up as I was trying to use them. Thanks!
Nothing is blocking my speaker, no case, and I did already try cleaning it. Audio playback is fine elsewhere.

I don't know about the timing of my issue, maybe microphone sensitivity was adjusted in the software update? However, my device was just out of warranty, so out of desparation (I use my video for baby stuff and I neeeed it , I stuck a straight pin in the mic hole and swirled around, it works just fine now. There was no visible dirt in the hole, it hadn't gotten dirty, I take good care of it, and yet something must have been in there. The mic works now after the pin fix, and I've seen several other places it has worked for others, wouldn't use this fix maybe if you're still in warranty.

Playing sound on iPhone

Hi guys,
I'm trying to play sounds on iPhone but when I installed my IPA, no sounds are playing. Does the Packager for iPhone already support playing sounds?
Cheers,
Anthony

Hi Anthony,
Sounds are supported. The only issue I had whit sounds was when the app was interrupted
by a call. See following thread: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/743983?tstart=0
Apart from this issue (which I wasn't able to solve yet) sounds worked fine for me.
Cheers,
Fabian

Low sound levels in Photo Booth and Imovie

I am a new Mac user and I am trying to record a short video to email using the built-in Isight camera. I have tried to use Photo Booth and Imovie and both of them produce videos with very, very low sound levels. You can barely hear it even when turned up to the max. I have checked the Sound preferences, and it is set to the built-in microphone, about mid-level. I've tried cranking it up to the max and with and without Use ambient noise reduction checked. It has no effect. How do I get a decent sound level? It is unusable at this point. I've updated my Software and repaired permissions, and still no luck. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Thanks for the response. I checked my midi audio settings and they are at the suggested rate. I called up an Apple support tech, and after trying a few things he basically said the internal mics are junk and go buy an external one. In the mean time, I've cranked up the sound levels to max, so I can hear it a little, but there is a ton of background hiss. I've done a web search and several people have reported this problem. so I think it might be something besides junk mics. Why do they install them if they are completely unusable? Thanks again. I'll try trashing the sound pref's too.

See: Resolve iOS update and restore errors - Apple Support
That error usually means that your computer antivirus is blocking the update.
It can also mean that your phone was jailbroken, or your computer was used to jailbreak some iOS device in the past.

Lower sound Zen Vision Plus than Zen Micro Pho

Hello! I have had Zen Micro/Zen Micro Photo in -2 years, before I this year switched to some Asono player, but the sound was low on that, and I wanted to go back to Creative for it's quality and sound.So I bought the new small Zen Vision Plus, very satisfied with video & other cool new functions! And to secure me a good sound, I bought big Creative headphones for 400 NOK, and they are very good with good sound and base(bass).But whenever I used the MP3 player, the sound dissapointed me, I also tried with the default earphones which followed, and the sound is still not as high as on Creative Zen Micro/Photo.My friend has Creative Zen Micro the old one, and we started the same song at the same time on both our players, and tried with the default headphones and the new headphones which I bought. And belei've you me the sound on his MP3 (Zen Micro) was much louder then on mine. So it is dissapointing to see that I am stuck with this MP3 with lower sound. I love the design & functions on Zen V Plus, and love the sound on Zen Micro. So I don't want to go back to Zen Micro. Is there some way to fix this? Some sort of upgrade? Or has it something to do that the MP3 in USA has lower sound and MP3 in Europe has higher, or the other way around? How do I check where my MP3 is from?I hope someone here has tips & tricks or solution to this problem, very annoying that my MP3 is "almost perfect"! I got to go play tennis now, waiting for a positi've reply, thanks a lot guys! Every single post is helpfull, thanks again!

well man all i can say is...bigger isnt always better. I have a Zen Micro Photo, its about a year old, i just have regular good ol target special headphones and its loud enough to blow an ear drum. Sometimes if i dont feel like?wearing headphones, i just turn it all the way up and set the headphones on my desk or something. sooooooooooooooooo i would just stick to the stuff you know is good...plus the micro photo is BAMF
