iOS 14 and iOS 14.0.1 Sound Issues

Ever since updating to iOS 14 and iOS 14.0.1, I’ve had sound issues with the iPhone 11 Pro. Sound volume is extremely low for calls on speakerphone, watching YouTube videos, and listening to music.


Has anyone else experienced these issues?

iPhone 6, iOS 12

The Apple rep first had me plug my phone into a pc then update my iTunes software then press the volume up button release then press the volume down button release. Then press the power button and hold it down until the phone rebooted to the Apple.

then I went on iTunes it should have a message pop up that says downloading I’m not sure what but it took about 25-30 minutes it looks like it’s just sitting there but if it says downloading your good. Once completed it asked you to pick a date to restore to I went back to before the update. Once it finished I setup my phone up like new but all my info came back and the sound is working weird thing is the software is the update. Good luck

I’ve had a problem since the release of 14.0 where my audio for different sounds, other than text and ringer, say like when someone sends me a SnapChat, or when I react to something on Facebook, or even the shutter sound for the camera gets super loud for a couple seconds then goes back to normal.. I can tell it’s a glitch because. Happens more than once throughout the day and sometimes it scares me cause I don’t know when it’ll do it. It’s not my volume because it’s at either a really low volume or in the middle, never turned all the way up. I’ve tried doing a factory reset then restore but did nothing. Clearing RAM/Cache doesn’t work either. I was hoping that 14.0.1 would fix it , but it didn’t. It still happens. I hope a future update fixes this soon because I hate when it happens.

Everything you have suggested we have done. I've changed every setting I can possibly change. And when I'm speaking on the phone with just my speakerphone, and a text message comes in, it screams at me. When I'm in the car, I can't hear anybody talking through the car speakers and the volume is all the way up. Turned off automatic cancellation still the same.

I’m also facing the same issue after 14.1 update. My phone volume is very less when I play YouTube videos music and other stuffs on my iPhone X. It was pretty good before iOS 14 update. Even I’m hearing less sound when using head phone. The actual sound is only half of the sound when it was before the software update. Some help me to fix this.

Found more issues with update.


1) I had voicemail to text, which was awesome to read my voicemail in text rather than call in to hear voicemail - Gone.

2) If my phone's screen is left on and a new email comes in it used to show "1" "2" etc. emails so I knew I had a new email - Gone.

Now I have to check my email to see if a new one came in BRUTAL the worst update Apple has ever done. It ruined so many things in one update. Fix it fast please.
