Headphones are not as loud as they use to be in iPhone 8plus

My Headphones are not as loud as they use to be in iPhone 8plus. Noticed it about a week ago and just thought it was the headphones playing up but now have tried headphones in other devices and they are fine, have tried different headphones and they are also low sound, including Bluetooth headphones. I have cleaned the port/jack and checked in Settings>Music for changing the Limit option like most posts say but I do not have that option. I am running IOS 14.4..

Hello,

I assume that the volume buttons on the left side of the phone are adjusted and that the Control Center volume slider is at its max setting, correct?

Otherwise, low volume is a symptom of needing to be cleaned:

Good luck.

Thanks MrBill3, yes all usual volumes are up. As mentioned in original message they work fine in other devices. My Bluetooth headphones also are low volume. So cleaning isn’t the issue (I have tried 👍).
