Siri volume seems low - any way to increase it?

I just got a new iPhone 5 today and am trying Siri for the first time. It seems to work ok, but the volume of Siri's voice seems quite low to me.
The speakers on the iPhone 5 itself are ok because I can play music in iTunes very loudly, so it's not the general volume settings or the speakers. It seems to be just Siri's voice.
Is there any way to increase Siri's voice volume?
Thanks,
doug

Never mind. I see. Siri simply has it's own volume and you can adjust it while in Siri itself. It was set low by default.

Some songs volume seems low

Hello,
just got the new 30Gb iPod and some of the song's volume won't go very high
I put it all the way up but it's probably not loud enough for a busy train or next to the highway where there's ;lots of ambienmt noise. Other songs are really loud , so what's happening?

This sounds like a problem with the recorded files.
Your best method is to run all of these files through MacMP3Gain, a graphical Mac OSX interface to the MP3Gain/AACGain software. It is best to make a playlist with your entire library in it, and use the program to process that playlist.
If you find that the volume is not loud enough, you may want to increase the target value to above 89dB. About 100dB should be your maximum, as distortion will occur above this level.
You can use iTunes' built in Sound Check feature, but this is probably inappropriate as it tends to reduce the volume of the louder files to match the level of the lower files. Some people have reported horrible distortion using this function also.

Output Volume Stuck

Hello
I have not updated or changed any settings on my PowerBook, but the output volume seems to be stuck. I can not hear anything, not even start up chime. The volume icons when pressed on the key board show a circle with a slash through it. I have gone into system preferences and attempted to check there, but I can not move the slider bar for the out put volume, nor can I select the mute or unmute. How do I fix this? please help!
Thank you,
Rebecca

Welcome to the Apple discussions.
Sometimes the volume setting gets jumbled, and resetting the PRAM will fix it. Follow these steps:
1. Shut down the computer.
2. Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
3. Turn on the computer.
4. Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
5. Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
6. Release the keys.

Volume output is extremly low on Z3

My xperia z3's volume output is extremly low comparted to my old iphone 4 and also without any bass even when trying the same set of headphones on both of them , and i tried clear audo+ and DSEE HX but they dont help at all with the volume they make it worse and i tired increasing everything in the equalizer inluding the bass and still nothing is there anyway i could fix this or is there something wrong with my phone?

Seems this is a common problem for people, I'm experiencing the same problem with my z3 compact.
The way to fix this is to root your phone and then it's just a matter of editing a text file inside your phone to raise the overall volume level.
I've posted up a message here too about it, just want for someone to pass it onto Sony and hope that it can be fixed, it's not a major thing for them, it would be quite easy for them to fix.

Low headphone output volume

Hey guys, wondering if anyone can help me with this issue. I got my Z30 several months ago now and have been really enjoying it. Love the device, love the OS, definitely sticking with BlackBerry for the forseeable future. However I've had one particular problem ever since I got the phone, and it's that the headphone output volume is just too low compared to my past devices. Even when set to maximum volume it's just not enough to power my headphones, whilst I can listen to them without issue with my iPhone 4, Galaxy S2 or Galaxy Note 2. After looking around online I've seen people mention that in the "Main Volume" settings screen there's supposed to be an option to boost headphone volume. However, this does not appear at all on my device. OS version is 10.3.1.2582. Device was purchased, and is used in, the UK. Anyone have any ideas as to how I can solve this issue, or is this just an inherent limitation that I'm stuck with?

Settings - Main Volume - Adjust media volume and the volume of your applications - is the slider set to maximum ?.Also turn on 'Always Adjust Media Volume'.

Totally new to this. Audio problems with device and output volume.

Hi, I just purchased Logic Express and Im having trouble with the levels. Im going through an Alesis USB mixer. The problem is, right when I press the record button on a track I start getting a very high hiss and an over distorted sound with my guitar. I played around with the levels a bit and it seems that when I go to the computers audio setting and lower the output volume it goes away. I dont understand why output would effect what Im recording. I don't want to have to lower the outpt volume because then I wont be able to hear the track i just recorded when Im recording on another. If anyone knows what is actually going on and how to solve this problem, any advice would be highly appreciated. Thanks.

Hi, missiontorock.
Could this be a "through-feedback" kind of problem? I don't get any kind of distortion or hiss running through my Edirol M100-FX USB mixer.
Depending on how the Alesis is configured, you might be feeding the same signal from the mixer to the computer, getting that signal back from the computer, and then sending it on to the computer again. This is particularly likely since you report that the problem goes away when you lower the output volume from the computer.
You might look for a 'mixdown' switch on your mixer.
Cheers,
Michael

Electric guitar volume very low

I have a Saffire Pro 14 audio interface connected via Firewire. Running my electric guitar through it into my Mac Pro and my MacBook. No matter what I do, the sound level is very low. I'm pretty sure I was able to solve this problem before because I'm looking at some recordings I did a while back and the waveform looks normal, the volume seems fine. However, when I record now I have to turn up the amp output levels to the maximum to get any kind of sound at all, in addition to turning up the volume knobs on the guitar itself. In addition, when I turn up the track volume on playback, the level indicator goes into the red even when the audio is moderately audible. The waveform looks flat. I think this is worse on my Mac Pro than on the MacBook.
Also, sometimes the signal just drops out completely for a few seconds. Dead space, as if I overloaded a circuit or something (which is possible, since I've turned up the output levels all the way on the virtual amp).

that sounds like your problem, guitars are not line-level instruments.

those aren't XLR connectors, they're Neutrik style connectors. plug into either of those

I have a 2013 mac pro and the volume keys aren't changing the volume of my LED display. The icon shows up as going up or down but the volume seems to not adjust.

I've had this computer since october of 2013 or so and I have just recently run into this problem. I use the volume keys on the keyboard and I hear the tick sounds and it shows that its going up and down but the volume doesn't actually change. I've looked in the "sound" settings and everythings seems to be correct... I can't adjust the sound in their either though. I pay too much to be having an issue like this.

Possible? Yes. Likely? I'm not sure.
In my house, I would suspect that either one of our pets chewed on a cable or dislodged a connector, or somebody bumped a connection loose, but then I would expect either no volume at all or hum from a grounding problem. Clear, non-zero constant volume is harder to explain.
You say adjusting the output volume directly in the Sound settings or on the menu bar also has no effect on the audible output?
You might want to go ahead and answer the question about connections. Somebody else might come along who recognizes a possible problem with the particular combination you are using. I don't have exactly your model of Mac Pro or display. (Is yours the Apple LED Cinema Display? Which size?)

Cannot connect iphone 5 to Parrot, battery is terrible and volumes are low? Anyone else got the same issues?

so these seem to be my issues with the phone so far. no matter what i try with my Parrot handsfree the phone will not connect. The general volumes of the phone seem lower than the iphone4, especially when using the new earphones. And i cant say im that impressed with the battery life. Today i made 2 phone calls, updated a facebook status and listened to one album on spotify, this resulting in a pretty much dead battery? doesnt seem right to me considering apple advertised the battery life being able to handle many hours of youtube streaming over 3G?

Ok, this is good info. It means that right now Apache is not able to serve content outside of your machine. That's why even the native browser can't see your site. Once we get that problem solved you should be able to see the site in Edge Inspect as well.
Here's some things to try:
This might be because your firewall is blocking port 8888. Try turning off your firewall temporarily and see if http://192.168.2.4:8888/yogaFest2013/ works from the native browser on your device
Open a terminal window and type in the following: netstat -an | grep "LISTEN" and let me know what it says
Open your httpd.conf file and look for a section like this:
# Listen: Allows you to bind Apache to specific IP addresses and/or
# ports, instead of the default. See also the <VirtualHost>
# directive.
# Change this to Listen on specific IP addresses as shown below to
# prevent Apache from glomming onto all bound IP addresses.
Listen 80
Let me know what your's looks like.

Why is the max volume so low on my ipod 6th gen

why is the max volume so low on my ipod 6th gen

Well, my volume control certainly does influence the start up chime and I cannot see why yours shouldn't. Use keyboard buttons F11 and F12 to adjust your sound level last thing at night and if your machine auto starts in the morning it will not wake the household.
True, if volume control is turned down to a lower level, you would have to adjust it for other sound output that you do want later, iTunes and videos on browsers etc, but it requires little effort.

Alarm volume too low - iPhone 4S / iOS 6.1

Hi,
I use the standard iOS alarm, and put my phone into DND mode overnight (manually). The alarm still goes off in the morning, but the volume is inconsistent, even though I set the Ringer and Alerts volume to the max. I have vibration turned on as well, and it actually saved my bacon this morning, as the alarm volume was VERY low.
I usually listen to podcasts before I go to sleep, but always do the following before going to sleep:
Unplug headphones
Return to the home screen
Go to settings to manually turn on DND mode
Return to the home screen
Max the ringer volume with the volume + button
Plug in the charger and hear the charging chime (quite loud)
Lock the screen and hear the lock sound (again, quite loud)
Yesterday the alarm volume was about half. This morning it was at the lowest volume. Seems inconsistent.
Anyone else havuing this problem?
Thanks,
Todd

Update to previous post: The speaker volume was low before updating to 6.1.3. I don't remember it ever working well.

Sound Output Volume Preference won't stick in newly reinstalled 10.6.8.

I recently re-installed OS 10.6.8 (from the retail Snow Leopard Install DVD, followed by the 10.6.8 Combo Updater) to my 2006 iMac (version 6.1) 24". Ever since, whenever I re-boot, the output volume of the internal speakers is set to a reduced level. When I bring it up to the level I like - that's fine, but only for as long as the session. If I re-boot, the level is once again dropped down to the reduced level.
I've reset the output level using the keyboard keys, and also in the System Preferences - nothing seems to stick. I've even plugged in a pair of headphones and set the output volume to be the same as my preferred speaker level, but still, nothing sticks.
I can't find a preference file to delete that is specifically for Sound Preferences. I've used Cocktail to search for a corrupted preference file, but that finds nothing as well.
How can I regain control of my volume setting so that it will survive a re-boot?

I should have added that resetting the P-Ram didn't help, neither did an SMC Reset.

Applescript output volume consistently "missing value"

It seems that the output volume returned by the "get volume settings" applescript call is consistently the "missing value". Setting the output volume to a different value "works" -- that is, the effective volume is set to the value I specify -- but the value returned by applescript is still "missing value".
For example, the following script
display dialog "output volume = " & (get output volume of (get volume settings))
set volume output volume 50
display dialog "output volume = " & (get output volume of (get volume settings))
gives me this dialog both times
What's up with that?
This is on Mavericks 10.9.0

Yes, I discovered much the same thing. If I have my system/default output device set to my headset, then I get the behavior I described.
However, I also find that while the output device is "missing value" the other values, including muted, have proper values.
There is also no way to set the output device via Applescript (except by the distasteful method of poking they System Preferences GUI settings). So there is no proper way of really controlling sound output via applescript.
But thanks for the prompt response. If only the Applescript documentation were complete in this respect (unless I missed it somehow).

Output Volume for recording

I'm having trouble getting enough volume in headphones while recording. I have the output volume on my interface (M-Audio Fasttrack pro) all the way up, but when I adjust the mix on the interface to hear a good mix of both recorded tracks, and what is being recorded, the volume is too low to hear anything. The outputs on Logic are set as high as possible without clipping. I've even tried a separate headphone amp and its not enough. Its not like I'm hard of hearing, either... :. any suggestions?

You need a dedicated mixing console to blend the incoming overdubs with Logic's playback.
What model? What price? You decide this.
