Speaker Volume help

I have the 1st gen iphone. For a couple of months the speaker has been getting softer and quieter. I was wondering if anyone else has had this problem, or knows of a way to fix it. I used to be able to play music with the volume set at about 60% and it was plenty loud. Now at full volume it's almost impossible to hear. The ringer is so low I have to leave it on vibrate. I miss calls now matter what ringtone it's on.
The phone's never been damaged or wet.
Please help.

What worries me is that Apple might not have told us that extensive use of the speakers might wear it out and make it softer.

Help with speaker volume for calls

The speaker volume (both regular and speakerphone) when on a call is awfully loud. I can't find a way to turn it down enough, I have turned the in-call volume down as far as it will go with the rocker. Is there another way? I have to hold the phone 6 inches from my ear just to make a phone call.

Hello MostlyALurker,
May I ask what type of device do you have? If you have an Android device, I would recommend checking to see if there is a hearing aid option on the device. If so, make sure that this is disabled. Afterwards do a battery pull & retry the audio. If that doesn't work then we may have to do a factory reset on the device. Let us know the results after trying these steps.
Thank you...
Arnett,
Thank you for your reply. I have a DInc2, which is why I am posting in this forum (obviously). The hearing aid option is disabled. I have not tried a battery pull.

MacBook Pro speaker volume

I just finished importing a ton of CDs to my laptop and now I find I cannot get the internal speaker volume up past a whisper. Any thoughts? This is barely audible yet is working fine on an external output device via Bluetooth. And, for those of you who say reset PRAM or buy external speakers, this problem never existed until I recently began importing my music library. I'm sure it's just a setting but I don't know where to begin and definitely do not want to re-import 1000's of songs at a new volume. Please help. Thanks.

Hello there, Donna.
There are a few places where sound can be adjusted on your Mac. If you're in the iTunes application, the following link from the online iTunes Help Guide provides some standard information:
Adjust the volume - iTunes Help
Adjust the volume of music and video
Change the volume for all songs (like turning the volume knob on a stereo): Use the volume slider at the top of the iTunes window.
The maximum volume is limited by your computer’s volume setting.
Adjust the volume of a particular song or video: Select it, choose File > Get Info, click Options, and drag the volume slider. iTunes uses this setting each time the song or video plays.
Have all songs and videos always play at the same volume level: Choose iTunes > Preferences, click Playback, and select Sound Check.
If you’re using remote speakers connected to an AirPort Express: You can use the volume controls on the speakers as well as the iTunes volume controls. To use only the speaker’s controls, click the AirPlay button , click Single, and choose the speakers from the pop-up menu.
SEE ALSOChoose which speakers to use
Additionally the Mac OS Help Guide provides this information:
Turn the volume up or down - Mac Help
Turn the volume up or down
To change your computer’s volume, click the Volume control in the menu bar, then drag the slider to adjust the volume.If the Volume control isn’t in the menu bar, choose Apple menu > System Preferences, then click Sound. Click Output, then select the “Show volume in menu bar” checkbox.

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!

Hello @Lagil ,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I understand the audio appears to be way too low. I will do my best to help! First, please provide the following information and try the following steps:
1. The computer's model number. If you require assistance locating this information, please reference this website: Guide to finding your notebook product number
2. The computer's operating system. If you require assistance locating this information, please reference this website to determine your Windows operating system.
3. Does this occur on certain programs, or all programs?
4. Have you installed any new software or drivers on this computer, before the issue appeared?
5. What steps have been attempted from the following thread, and what were the results: Troubleshooting Guide: Audio does not Work after a Certain Period of Time
Thanks!

Imac 21" I keep getting ggh'l and the speaker volume screen keeps popping up. Any ideas of what is causing this and how to fix it?

I recently converted from the PC world to Apple and got an IMAC 21". I keep getting the speaker volume screen popping up periodically and also types in ggh'l into whatever application I have open. I have the lastest software and have McAfee antivirus installed. This is a recent problem in the last few days so I'm not sure what is causing it. Any ideas/suggestions?

Hello sir.
My product is pavilion entertainment notebook.
And now after you replied my first complain I have put the finger print issue behind I have bug still with my sound.
I installed the sound driver as its too low and downloaded IDT SOUND DRIVER found in de driver download section.
But dis dis not solve the problem, it only got the volume just one inche louder and I tried RELTEK sound DRIVER and again this one did not change any tin.
U made mention of MSUAA what's dis about? And can it increase my speaker sound?
Pls?
Microsoft UAA Bus Driver for the audio chip integrated into your systemboard can be found at the microsoft update website. It is required as part of the operatng system. No, it won't increase the sound level your notebook is capable of. If you desire more volume then I suggest that you purchase an amplified external sound system (Creative is a decent brand) to plug into the audio out jack on your notebook.
Best regards,
erico

IPhone 4s unable to hear or control speaker volume.

iPhone 4S. I am unable to control volume of speaker. When I use buttons on side to control speaker volume window with headphones is visible. If I am on the phone and I press the speaker, then I can hear the caller. Otherwise, the speaker is muted and I can not hear the caller although the caller is able to hear me.
I plugged in a set of headphones and they were functioning correctly. When the headphones were unplugged the speaker volume was still uncontrollable or working.
I am in the midst of installing the new iOS. I hope that helps.

Downloaded and installed new iOS 8.1.3 and all is well.

Just got a 5530, ringer volume help please

Hi everyone,
I just got a 5530 xpressmusic from newegg, and I can't seem to be able to figure if the volume rocker on the side of the phone can change ringer volume, or just the speaker volume when on the phone. It seems that a volume rocker should be able to adjust the volume of the ringer, but it doesn't on my phone, I have to go to profiles to change the volume.
Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

From my experience with Nokia phone, that's exactly how it's meant to be. Every phone I've had was/is Just like that. I see nothing wrong there

Speaker volume is poor

My iPad 2 speaker volume seems very low. At the highest setting it is too low for me to watch a movie. I have made sure the volume lock is off and volume setting is maxed out. Is this an issue with all iPad 2 or just mine?

You could check the volume on the store display iPads and if there is a problem take it back for replacement. If they are all the same a good set of earphones will help.
Do check that the case / stand or your hand isn't covering the speaker grill first

Where have my speaker volume and internet connection notification icons gone?

This morning two 'notification icons' (at bottom right of screen) vanished: speaker volume, and internet connection. How do I restore them?
I have Firefox 6.0.2 running on Windows Vista

Great, thanks you two, much appreciate the help. They only say it will be restored ASAP. Has this happened before and how long did it take to fix? Also, I'm in the UK so I assume its a global issue?
Thanks

Speaker volume problem

Can not reduce the speaker volume. it is in its full volume. Have tried the control panel re sound. no avail. Please help. thank you

Welcome to the Forum.
I am sorry no one has responded. I do not know the answer, either.
I will offer one idea to try:
"Hard Reset"
Disconnect EVERYTHING from your computer, including all USB stuff, the AC power,
Remove the battery.
PRESS and hold down the Power button for about 15 seconds. (This is the "Reset" part.)
Put the battery back in,
Connect everything back up and Power on the computer.
If you need more help, you must provide the exact model of your notebook and the exact operating system (Windows 7 or Vista and whether it's 32 or 64bit - or XP).
Hope this helps.
Kind Regards,
Dragon-Fur
