Volume too low, was higher a while ago

We are talking about a 160GB classic that was bought just b4 Christmas via Apple's web site, the volume has been fine for the past few month but all of sudden it has become very quiet, I have checked ipod setting and it is NOT locked to a lower setting, are there any other setting/thing i should try before i return it to apple under warranty

Check to make sure that "Sound Check" is not enabled in your Settings, that typically lowers the output of most songs to a level that is close to some of the quieter content on your device.

Earpice Volume Too Low!!

I switched from Verizon and a RAZR phone to the iPhone last week and the earpiece volume is TOO low!! I can only hear well in a quiet room or when I use the Headphones, but in a restaurant holding the phone up to my ear, forget it, very low volume. Heck I was walking along Collins on South Beach yesterday and the street sounds made it impossible to hear well.
This is BULLS%@#!
Is Apple doing this to conserve on battery power?
Other than that, (oh and Safari crashing everyonce in a while) I love the phone.

If u change the volume on the phone does it work?
I dont have that headset so i would know...
and the jawbone is probably much better than it
About the crashing... it happens to probably anyone, but apparently, by reseting it (holding home and sleep) it makes them happen less often

Headset volume too low

I just bought an iphone for wife, she said the earphone volume is too low, I have set the volume to max, any idea? Thanks Alex

The volume issue WAS a problem. Apple fixed it for most people a number of software releases ago. Most of the volume complaints stopped a long time ago after the fix. Now, with the 3G iphone, my volume is very loud and much better than even the fixed first version iphone. I think if you read the many initial reviews of the 3G version, most mentioned how much better the handset, speaker and speakerphone quality and loudness is. I know this is not solace for someone with a problem now, but I don't think it is widespread. You could just have a defective phone. Take it in the Apple Genius bar and see if they will get you a new one.

Volume too low on ringer and with hands-free headsets

Both the ringer's volume and the volume within headsets are too low in my new Droid X. When holding it to my ear while talking it is loud enough well below max volume, but hearing people through headsets while driving is often too low with all volumes set to max (on loud freeways, for example). I usually keep my phone's ringer on silent vibrate, but it would be nice to be able to turn it up louder when the phone is sitting on a desk at home. Cell phone ringers can be obnoxiously loud, but there are times when people need to have them turned up.
Because it is an issue in both the ringer speaker and the jack for wired headsets, it seems like there is a good chance of getting a software fix to raise the max volume levels. Reading posts on forums, it seems clear that this problem is widespread in most, if not all, Droid X devises.
If you are having similar problems, please take a moment to call both Verizon and Motorola with a polite report of the issue. I spoke with both today and they said they were aware of the issue, and the tech at Motorola said they were "looking into" a software fix for it. If enough people call and report it, we have a better chance of getting a fix sometime soon.
Verizon's support line is: (800) 922-0204.
Motorola's is: (800) 734-5870 (I chose #6 for "other issues" a couple of times after routing into Droid support to get a live tech)
It can be frustrating to filter through the support systems and report it, especially if they tell you to try obvious things like rebooting the phone and turning the volume up, but it really is the only way to get them to fix this issue. Both techs I spoke with actually looked in their systems right away and acknowledged the issue is being reported by people.
Of course, if anyone has a real solution to this issue, please let us know what it is!

Thanks for the suggestion JKramer. I should have been more clear about having adjusted all volumes up in the settings screen. Assuming all sound options are located within the "Settings --> Sound & Display" screen, then yes, I have tried changing them. I have also tried changing the option to "use incoming call volume for notifications" under the "ringer volume" settings, after reading that someone had success in improving volume that way.
This issue is not a problem all of the time. It is only an issue when there is an elevated level of background noise, such as driving on the freeway, or having music or a movie playing in the room.
The phone is otherwise excellent! I live and commute in areas of very spotty reception (with all cell providers), and this phone will keep calls and not even have voices garble where my past two phones have consistently dropped calls in at least five problem locations. So far, everything else about it seems to work great!
Maybe some of these phones don't have this issue. Or, maybe the people who say they don't encounter the problem are lucky enough to live in relatively quite environments most of the time. In a quiet house or office, it is certainly loud enough. It just needs to have the option for increased volume when in noisy places. The issue is that its "max volume" settings are not as loud as with other phones.
Searching for something like "Droid X volume" will indeed show many people experiencing these same problems on various forums...

Volume too low on voice call

The volume on the phone is too low to hear the other person your talking to.

Thanks for the quick answer. I wish I was that stupid so I could start enjoying my $600 purchase.
I probably should be more specific in my note area, but it took me 10 minutes to find a username that wasn't taken.

Iphone volume too low

When I am talking on the iphone, the volume is too low. This happened about a week ago and I can't seem to increase the volume.
I tried the standard things like raising the volume on the buttons. I also updated the phone to the latest version, and reinstalled the operating system.
Any suggestions?

Have you removed the...
I jest, I jest. But seriously, if the phone hasn't been dropped, mishandled or otherwise adulterated, it should be covered by your warranty, i.e., it's defective.
Are you near an Apple store? If no, there's an 800-number to call, but it escapes me. 800-MY-APPLE??? I can't say, really.
In the interim, you may find some useful info here, but maybe you've already been.
Godspeed...

Mic Volume Too Low

Hi,
My mic volume is too low, it seems to be working from the inside of my mac so every key is higher than my voice and my trackpad clicks too. I've searched here and there is no solution for this. Yet... I uninstalled Podcaster (Livestream software) to see if that's the problem but it's not.

I did that and it didn't work, also I notice Skype auto adjusts my volume, so everytime somebody elses talks it goes down, but doesn't go back up after they end. But it's still low, to talk I have to get closser to the keys to talk through them I guess.
In Facetime is just low, volume is not adjusted.

VoiceOver volume too low

I hope everybody can understand the title , as I am still an English learner
Recently I got a ipod shuffle and I love it.But when it is noisy outside I am not able to hear the voiceover , for the volume is too low.Especially when changing playlists.
I know there's no way to make it higher. So can anybody here help to communicate with Apple for the problem ? thx

All of us here are only users like you. The most we can do or suggest is for you to leave feedback to Apple using this link.

Fixing Volume -- Too Low

Has anyone got a fix without hacking it with AudioAmp (seems to be mixed results with 3g). But i have to admit, the volume even at max is too low - and I would love for it to be higher.
any help here desired

My wife and I have matching 1st generation iPhones. Her speaker/ringer is easily 2-3 times louder than mine.
Can't see any 'film' protecting speakers, and I have restarted, reset, restored, cleared/reset all settings and volume controls and sound options with no success. One phone is 2-3 times louder than the other.
There has to be a fix for this!!! It's a huge problem, I'm missing calls!

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!

X-fi Xtreme Music soundcard PROBLEM: Microphone volume too low(unusab

Hello, I've spent a while?sifting through these forums and?can't find any solution to this problem. Many people have been asking this same question and?aren't getting any solutions. When I say the microphone is?too low, I mean it's at the lowest possible volume it could?run at,?so it's unusable and?might as well not be functioning at all. Keep in mind every volume setting on the computer has been set to max.
Is their anyone?that?owns a X-fi xtreme music sound card?using a?microphone that does work?If so, what microphone are you using?I'm only?suggesting that theirs some odd settings with this card that only allow a certain kind of microphone to work with it. I'm using an old mic that works perfectly with my sb li've and that I've had for 3 years now. I'll echo the same basic details I've already checked over. They can be found in other customers' posts who are having this?same problem.) Microphone works - tested on other systems and other cards2) Microphone volume is on max - both in recording and playback (although playback is muted)3) Gain is enabled - Ticked +20dB box4) Drivers are current - tried shipped drivers, current stable, and beta release?Here are more links to this problem, which has not been solved yet:
http://forums.creative.com/creativel...ssage.id=49623
http://forums.creative.com/creativel...id=29980#M4984
I?suspect no one?has?the answer to this problem?yet. But could someone please tell me if they are using this soundcard with a mic that is working. If so please tell me what microphone you are using.

I don't know if this is the latest thread but it seems to be. Obviously this is a big prob for a lot of pee
ps.
I have Just built a new machine and included a X-Fi Extreme audio for the 8 channel sound capabilities for movie viewing etc, but .. I also run Teamspeak servers for several games ( WoW , UT , CS etc) and find myself unable to communicate using said card. problem is mic boost is available in playback mode but not in record mode. If you activate mic boost in playback it does actually increase volume in output mode also (don't ask me why) ...but not by much . Not enough for peeps on the other end to hear you while gaming. So... if you can boost mic on playback , why not on record ? which is where it is suposed to be in the first place. there are a LOT of frustrated gamers out there that have paid good money for the surround experience but are unable to do what previous cards have done well .... and that is allow communication between players . please don't ignore this as this is not an operating system problem.... i have installed this card on Vista and XP (both X64 and 32)? and still no mic boost from the software available. you know the problem .. at least acknowledge it and give an update. thank you?Fly

E5-00 Music volume too low

Hello, the music volume in maximum volume while using earphones is too low in my E5-00 compared to Nokia Xpressmusic 5310. Is it normal for E5 or is there anything I can do to make the music volume loud.

the E5 is not a music device so the volume wont be as loud as other music devices,however ive found it very good when using 3rd party headphones(SONY) and not the ones supplied with the device,also check the volume toggle when in use as its set to default.
If i have helped at all a click on the white star below would be nice thanks.

Headphone volume too low

I have recently purchased the Z3, particularly for its advertised audio features.
Unfortunately, the audio volume does not go loud enough in all 3 sets of headphones I have tried.
Is this normal?

I'm sorry to hear you're having issues with your sound quality. Please note that when you use a headphone, make sure you open walkman and increase the volume from there. You will not get this notification if you increase the volume without having the walkman app open. A pop up will say that "going above the volume limit is not safe etc." Make sure that you accept the risk and the volume should increase. Also check the settings in walkman, enable ClearAudio. Finally, make sure the volume on your headphone (if applicable) is the highest.
Good luck.
The volume is much too low and for a phone this expensive i would expect better ,and there is no notification
allowing one to increase the volume when up full like there used to be ,and quite honestly the decision should be mine on how low or high the volume should be ,and there is still time to send this phone back ,which might act as a wake up call for Sony ,best wishes Brian.

Portege R500 audio problem: sound volume too low

The sound volume on my R500 is ridiculously low. Only with volume maxed out (100) and using headphones do I hear anything at all, and even then it's way too low to be useful. I can just make out the test sounds in the left and then right earphone when using the test sound found at Control Panel -> Sound -> Speakers (there are no Headphones to be selected) -> Properties -> Advanced -> Test. Unplugging the headphones I hear nothing from the speakers, due to the (very low) sounds made by the fan and HDD. Playing music (with headphones) I can just make out that sounds are being produced, but I can't even make out what is playing.
I've tested the things mentioned in the "Satellite 5105-S901 Sound is very low (even on max volume) using supplied Toshiba driver" thread with no success (including Loudness Equalization).
I'm running Vista Business 32bit, and have tried the driver_audio_realtek26117B.exe, driver_audio_realtek_TC00157600B.exe, and Vista_Win7_R243_x86.exe driver files, and also used the util_mute_off_25847B.exe utility.
Enabling mute makes the already faint sounds go completely silent, so I don't think it's a mute issue.
Jack detection does work, I can see that in the Realtek HD Audio Manager program. Using that program's sound test (Speaker Configuration) I have to go to a completely silent room, and even then I only hear something in the right earphone. (I think; it's so darn low I could be imagining I hear it.)
Does anyone have any ideas what I can try next? I can boot to XP or Linux if anyone has any ideas on how to get sound there, just to get started. (They're silent as well, I haven't done as extensive testing under those as under Vista.)

Update:
Tried increasing the volume in control panel -> Realtek HD audio manager. No success.
I have used a bunch of different drivers, both from toshiba's website and realtek's.
Recently did a fresh XP install on another hard drive (don't have Vista install media), tried both 5.10.0.5869 and 5.10.0.6066 drivers (5.10.0.6066 is from march 13, 2010), sound still as low no matter what I do.
Did the really desperate thing: bought a new (used) sound module on ebay ("Toshiba Portege R500 (PPR50E-00L048EN) USB jack" on ebay.co.uk), but it has the same problem as the original one.
I was thinking perhaps the sound module doesn't get enough power from the motherboard, but since there is some sound (although very low), the USB jack on the module works, the headphone/mic jack detection works, and the diagnostics found in the Control Panel all say that the device is working OK, I don't think it's a hardware problem.
I'm guessing there is a problem with the drivers initializing the sound to a ridiculously low setting, and increasing the volume level to 100 makes it go up to a level equal to perhaps 2 in a regular system. That should be solved by a fresh install, but it isn't.
Perhaps the BIOS messes up the sound? But re-flashing the BIOS doesn't help...
Anyone got any other ideas?
I've googled and found people having problems with low sound volume on other laptops using the ALC262 chip, but no general solution.
