Sound alerts not loud.

I downloaded GB yesterday. Now I can barely hear my phone ring or my notification alerts. Volume is all the way up. What can I do to fix this?

Hi Kyla1234!
I found some additional information about sound setting changes after gingerbread update. There is a setting called "Quiet ring on pickup", when enabled the device ring volume is reduced when moved. You can uncheck this setting to allow the device to ring at its normal volume, even when moved. Here's a picture of the Sound settings screen:
Let me know how this works out for you.

HT200006 My iPhone 5 is freezing and the sound Is not loud how it should

My iPhone 5 has been freezing locking by itself and the sound is not loud how its use to be can someone tell me why this is happen I have only had this phone for this year

wait it for your iPhone to die then before it turns it plug it into iTunes while holding the home button and it will force it into recovery mode.
will be hard to get the timing right cause u will need to wait for the battery to die and charge up again. Other then that just take it to apple and have them replace the device for a fee.

Sound alerts not working in Mail and Ichat apps since upgrade to 10.4.9

I just noticed my Sound alets not working in Mail and Ichat apps since upgrade to 10.4.9.
I'm using soundsticks which is playing sounds thru quicktime, itunes, etc but my alert sounds for getting new emails and IM messages is not working. I get the quick "white flash" on the screen instead. I checked the prefs on both apps and it is set to give me the alert sound, I can even test it in the ichat pref when I change the new message alert sound it will play it thru my speakers but when I get a new message in either app it just gives me the white flash.
I'm read that it can be an issue of not having the balance in the system sound pref set the middle, so I checked that, restarted, all that but still no luck.
I really like the sound alert features because I can be in another part of my house, turn the sound way up and I'll know when one of my clients is trying to reach me but now I can't do that.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance!

Ok, weird, strange...did ONE more restart and now its working fine...who knows?

Receive Mail Sound Alert Not Working

I had to remove and subsequently add my gmail account to rectify a problem. The problem was resolved by this action however since performing activity I no longer hear the message sound alert. I have checked all of my settings and sound volumes etc. and everything is set up correctly. I've even changed the sound alert to another sound but it still doesn't work.
Any suggestions??

Hi Barry,
Thanks for your suggestion but I'm not quite sure what you mean by the preference file..is it in mail preferences, sound preferences? If you could provide a bit more "hand holding" for me, it would be appreciated.

HT4528 sound is not loud enough

My ringtones for phone calls is not loud enough. Is there a way to increase this other than the norm?

To turn the volume up, go to Settings > Sounds and slide the volume bar to the right.
Press the volume + button when you're on your home screen to turn the sound up.
Double-tap your Home button and flick your finger from left to right TWICE and slide that bar to the right
Remove any cases that you have and test it also
If its still not loud enough for you after doing these, you can reset all settings (Settings > General > Reset). If its still not quite what you want, restore it as new in iTunes on your computer or take it to the Apple Store http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414?viewlocale=en_US

Calendar alerts not loud enough

My iphone5 alerts are way too soft, and I can't hear them. The ringer is set to max, but I can't figure out how to set the calendar alerts to high. When I do a hard reset it works for a while (less than a day) but then goes way down in volume. I need a good, loud alert for appointments. I've set it to vibrate, but it's not always in a pocket so I can feel it. Please help me. I'm missing appointments because of this. I think it started after the last iOS update, but it seems more recent than that.

You may want to look into using another sound for the tone, or possibly another app to use for reminders. I don't know of another way to make it any louder.

New email sound alerts not working

Hi, I have tried setting up a rule to make a sound effect play when a new email arrives but whatever i do it does not seem to work - has anyone tried this? I just want a little noise to sound when a new email arrives but I get nothing with a correctly set up rule. . . . . .

It works fine for me, selecting a sound there in Preferences. If all you want is for any arriving email to trigger a sound, that is all you need, rather than trying to set up a rule.
Two things you have probably tried: One, make sure your sound is on, rather than muted. Two, delete any rules you may have tried setting up to play sounds and try it with only the Preference enabled; it's possible the rules you've set are interfering with the Preference doing its job.

Sound recorded from the phone through in-line to Zen V is weak, not loud eno

I wonder if anyone is trying to achieve the same result with more success. When I record from the phone through a cable to the Zen V and transfer the recording to the computer the sound is not loud enough to be easily understood, despite the fact that on the Zen with the earphones the quality is satisfactory. Can someone help get a louder recording into the computer?TIA

I have tried that. I had listened to the headphones to monitor the sound. It is the pre-set recording level programed in the player. There should be a way to back it down if needed or set the pre-prog. level to a lower setting on the line-in mode. So far Creative is working with me via e-mail. Hopefully they can remedy my situation. Somehow I think I am not the only one with this problem.

Alerts sounds are not working after upgrading to iOS 7.1.2

Hi,
I've noticed that all the alerts sounds are not working anymore after upgrading my iPhone 4S to iOS 7.1.2
I’ve reviewed similar posts regarding the same issue; and it seems this is a common issue in iPhone 4S when upgrade to iOS 7.1.2.
Apple, please Advise if there anything I can do to resolve the issue especially that my work deepens on the push emails and alerts that requires prompt response.

I got this issue resolved.
It caused due to some dirt in the charger slot; such dirt caused the phone to assume as if it is connected to a car kit and that is why it does not produce any sound except the Ringer and the Alarm.
It has been fixed by cleaning the charger slot by toothbrush! with some
drops of a cleaner.
Do not do it by yourself, as it might be a risk; rather, let it to be done by an expert.

I have a new iPhone 5C, have the sounds alerts set up. But I'm not getting sound alerts for new voicemail, only the red circle on the screen. How can I make the sound alert work?

I have a new iPhone 5C, have the sounds alerts set up. But I'm not getting sound alerts for new voicemail, only the red circle on the screen. How can I make the sound alert work?

I have had this same problem for weeks now with my 4S. I just got a new 5S after being extremely frustrated and the same thing - no sounds. After searching posts all over, I couldn't find a solution. I just told my friend of the issue and he asked "Do you have the Do Not Distrub on?" I didn't even know such a function existed. Upon looking that was exactly the issue.
To resolve, go to Settings> Do Not Disturb> Manual. If it is green, turn it off. You will now get phone calls and text alerts.
This functionality is also on your quick access utility menu (slide up menu). I assume this is how it was enabled on my phone.
I will post on other sites since I searched for weeks for this solution and didn't see it anywhere. Good luck!

Custom alert sound does not work in Calendar ...

Hi,
I created an AIFF file of 30 seconds extracted from one of my MP3 file. I placed that file in the «Sounds» folder in my Library. I see and play the sound in the Sound preferences and in my Calendar sound alerts when creating a event.
When this sound alert is assigned to a particular event, it does not play at the selected time. Like the other alert files it's an AIFF format, but it uses ±5MB while the other one use only 100KB. Is the file size the problem ?
What is the problem ?
Regards

Got iPhone 5. Really Disappointed! After 2 days, alert and typing sounds are not working. Camera is terrible!

Bought iPhone 5. Really disappointed. Within 2 days, alert sounds and typing sounds are not working. Camera is terrible. My old HTC One S was far superior!

First, no, it is not showing orange. I checked the silent button immediately. Then I checked the sounds section of my settings, but all is good there. When I get a phone call, it rings fine. Alert and typing sounds are not working.
Second..., yes this was a technical point (in which I was hoping someone else might have had the same problem, with a solution), as well as a complaint (definitely one worth making as it is not a minor issue - it is important to hear text alerts when you have children).
