Lumia 900: Speaker volume too loud, headphone volu...

I know this issue has been posted before, but I wanted to see if there are any updates. There was a firmware update to fix the purple hue problem, and was hoping this that this issue would be resolved along with it, but no such luck. The external speaker cannot get quieter than 7/30. Anything below that seems to do little or nothing. The alarms are scary loud even at 1/30. I can't turn music at work because even the lowest volume is WAY too high.
The other problem is that the volume out of the headphone jack is way too soft. I have to bring the volume up to 30/30 to not have to crank the volume to a deafening level in the car, for example. If I forget to bring the volume down to 1/10 when I get out of the car, I get startled by a loud notification. It's a constant game of going from 1/30 to 30/30 and back to 1/30. It is very frustrating! Can we expect a fix for this sometime soon?

I agree there is a volume bug on the Lumia 900 - I have had my black Lumia for about 5-6 days now. I used my previous phones as my alarm in the morning and wanted to continue to do the same with this device. With the preinstalled alarms app, regardless of whether I have the volume at 1/30 , 15/30 or 25/30, when the alarm sounds it is incredibly loud. Not a very good way to wake up in t he morning so I am currently still using my IPhone as my alarm clock. Let's get a bug fix out for this Nokia; I am having to use a 3GS to pick up your slack.

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

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.

Nokia 2700 handsfree kit volume too loud

my car (2007 bmw with fitted in bluetooth handsfree kit) connects fine with the new 2700 nokia i bought, however people keep telling me that they can hear me too loud over the phone, while in the car the volume is ok. I didn't have this problem with my previous nokia model, or with the one my son has, 5310 Xpress Music. The problem is that i can change the volume settings in the car, only the speaker volume that is,and the phone, once connected, doesnt allow any change of volume settings.
it is just the microphone volume, so not the speaker volume, and that i don't have this problem with other nokia models...
Yours sincerely,
Nicolas

As always, as this is a place where people will often/likely come when they have an issue of some sort you can't really measure whether or not something is structural or 'general occuring' by posts here. No one would deny that you may have an issue, but if it were as widespread as you seem to think it would be all over the media which is isn't.
I'd have the phone checked at the retailer or a Nokia Care Point.

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!

ITunes 10 upgrade makes airtunes volume too loud even at minimum setting

I just updated to iTunes 10 this morning and love the interface and most of what is has to offer. I have, however, encountered an issue with the volume when streaming my music through Airtunes (or Airplay now) and my Airport Express to external speakers. I have an Express set up in my son's room and hooked up to a pair of computer speakers via a stero-mini to stereo-mini. Before the update the volume adjustment worked fine but after updating to iTunes 10 even the minimum volume is too loud for the white noise we put on to help him sleep. If you have ever had a fussy infant you understand that this is a HUGE problem. I've read the forums and come up with nothing. I know that I can manually change the master volume of the sleep sounds (get info on specific track and change master volume) but that's a ridiculous work-around. I've resorted to using Airfoil (an excellent program by the way) because I can't get Airplay to work right. All of the setting are there for it to be a real hit (individual volume settings for each set of external speakers - I have 2 airport express units) but they just DON'T WORK. What a shame that after an update I have to resort to a 3rd party program. I hope Apple hears this and updates very soon or the folks at Airfoil are going to be getting a lot of business very soon. Next post is at Engadget and Mashable
cool. please let me know if you've found a setting that I don't know about.
thx.

iTunes 10 allows each AirTunes (AirPlay) zone to have a separate volume. Try selecting "Multiple Speakers" in the "AirPlay" tab and adjust the volume from there. Also make sure the "Preferences" settings are set to allow for remote volume to be set.

Airtunes volume (too loud!)

Here's the story:
I like to sit around the room and work on the Powerbook wire-free. So I'm listening to my music over AirTunes. I keep the Powerbook volume at 100%, and turn iTunes down to about 20% volume, because music coming 100% out of my AirPort speakers (which I'm too lazy to change the volume on) is just too loud.
Whenever I close iTunes with the AirTunes volume set to 20%, and reopen it, the volume is back up at 100%. I (of course) don't notice, start playing music, and wake up everyone in the neighborhood. I'm pretty sure this didn't happen before 10.4.4, because it's been a huge irritation the past few days, and I've never noticed it before.
Did I break something? Is there any way I can force iTunes to remember what I had the volume set at?

See this discussion: http://discussions.apple.com/click.jspa?searchID=-1&messageID=1524578
The above discussion is concerned with iTunes volume problems after waking the computer. Does your problem occur only after relaunching iTunes without having restarted or awakened your computer? Which version of iTunes are you using?

Bluetooth volume too loud, volume step 1 is silent

Did this too... Still the same...

When connecting a Sony SBH-20 Bluetooth Headset to my Z1 Compact there is no sound when Bluetooth voume is set to 1. I need to raise it to 2 for the sound to be output and then it is too loud for me when listening to music. SW version in mobile is 1.4.4.A.0.108I have also tried with a Jabra Play BT headset with same result.Update: Now I have tried with a Sony SBH80 and then it works ! Step 1 on the volume does output sound and on a reasonable level when playing music.For the SBH20 and Jabra Play the problem persists, but to be clear the in-call volume works fine on all steps, it is the Media/Music volume that is silent on step 1. It also seams that step 10 does not give any increase for Media on these two headsets. SW error ?

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.

Headphone volume too loud in Facetime calls - iPad Mini Retina 7.1.1

Hi,
I have an iPad Mini Retina Space grey 32GB Wifi version updated to the newest iOS 7.1.1.
I've noticed that the headphone volume during Facetime calls is always extremely loud even on lowest volume setting and there's no way to lower the volume further down. It's independent of the person I call, and the same problem appears in both in Facetime video and Facetime audio calls.
The bug only appears in the Facetime app and only after inserting the headphones and (not noticable when using the speaker). Setting a volume limit in Settings doesn't affect this loud volume during Facetime calls. I've tried 3 different headphones and I've also done a full reset of the iPad and setting up a completely new iCloud account.
I also have an iPad Mini (1st gen) and an iPhone 4 and I don't experience this bug on those devices.
Have anyone experienced the same bug? Any solution?

pandora? once I got used to it, it bacame second nature to simple reach over and toggle the hotspot off and on. not great if you have the constant need, but if you have the constant need, it wouldnt be shutting down in the first place.
If this is a big issue for you, and there is no persistant wifi available, you might think about a standalone portable hotspot. Pretty much every carrier in the US has one they would be happy to sell you, along with a data plan.
(look on e bay for a used one )

Creative Sound Blaster Arena Headset HS-1100 Windows 7 Volume Too Loud

I have a strange problem with my Creative Arena Headset. The volume level of it is too high.
To avoid hurting my ears, i have to set the master volume in the windows mixer to 4/00, this causes a problem when running other applications and adjusting volume. For instance, when running skype, the volume control within the application is literally either "off" or "on" and I can often here every bit of buzzing and background noise that I cant hear through my speakers seperately.
Also, because the volume has to be set at 4/00, the feature in windows to automatically adjust volume levels of applications doesnt work, so I cannot use the feature of automatically lowering the volume of music when chatting online.
This poses an annoying problem i have tried to resolve for a while now (ever since I have had this headset).
I am running the latest drivers from your download site: XFHP_PCDRV_LB__0_000 on the Windows 7 operating system.
I have also reinstalled the drivers and tried the headset on a different computer and it results in the same massi'vely loud volume.
Is there any reason my headset is so loud? Is there anything I can do about it?

@Dodgetimmy,
Can you try reinstalling the headset using the driver from the installation cd? You might also want to try using the generic drivers by simply plugging the headset to the PC without installing the Creative drivers to see if it makes a difference.
If it is still not working for you, Customer Support can be contacted using this email form.

I have a G71-340 US Notebook. Speaker volume too low to hear turned up to full volume.

On my G71-340 US Notebook I have the volume turned up to max and yet the speakers are so low I can barley hear them. Is there a software update to fix this?

*************************TRY THIS BEFORE DRIVER RE-INSTALLATION ********************
(It's an easier first solution, and It increased my volume, whereas driver re-install did not)
From Delilah M. on Amazon.com and her review of the G71-340us, Thanks Delilah!
CLICK on the Windows START Button
In the search box TYPE "Manage Audio Devices"
in the results that appear, CLICK on "Manage Audio Devices"
in the window that appears CLICK on "Speakers and Headphones" - this will highlight the "Properties" button
CLICK on the "Properties" button
in the window that appears CLICK on the "Levels" tab at the top, make sure the "Speakers" and "PC Speakers" are at 100%
CLICK on the "Enhancements" tab at the top
CHECK the "Loudness Equalization" Box >>>>> THIS IS THE SETTING THAT WILL BOOST THE VOLUME <<<<<
CLICK on the "Apply" button
CLICK on the "OK" button, your settings will be applied and the box will close
in the remaining open window CLICK "OK" to close the box, and you should be ready to go.
Thanks again to Delilah M. for her solution.

Lumia 620 speaker volume pulsing

I've noticed on my 620 that the volume pulses up and down when playing audio through the speaker on the phone. It's more evident when the volume level is low (between 1 - 5). It sounds like when a compressor is acting on the signal with a slow release.
I did see someone mention this on another forum so it might not just be my phone.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi everybody!! I'm a new user of this fantastic nokia phone, and yes, my lumia 620 have the same issue that many of you mentioned: listening any kind of song, expecially in part where the dinamic of the song is low, i can hear that "compressor effect". I do also hear a "pffffffffffffffff" sound that is ever present under the song
I've updated all of the application possible, did try the soft reset and the hard reset but the problem still remain.
..please, mr. and mss. nokia support team, could you please seriousely check if it's a software or a hardware issue?!
I think it's in nokia's interest solving this issue as fast as possible, or they will see thousand and thousand of fantastic lumia 620 "coming back home" for a problem that maybe could be solved with a software update!
thanks and let all of us know!

E51 - speaker volume too low.

Hi All, I have an E51 and the problem I have is it's so hard to hear anything.
I have to press the handset into my ear and place the hearing area directly over my ear .
Volume is already on max when I press volume up button on the right side of the phone,
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..
