iOS 15.1 headphone safety

It failed to lower down the headphone (not AirPods, not wireless ) volume when I turned it on

There’s no difference between ON and OFF mode ,still too loud and I have to keep the minimum volume

Volume increasing when plugging in headphones I have an iphone SE (gen2) and i use headphones with a 3,5mm to lightning adapter. If i unplug the lightning adapter on the phone and plug back in the volume increases about 70% of the time. The headphones has one button for play/pause. If i toggle play/pause the same thing happens. The volume increases most of the time. I have rebooted the phone several times. This started when I updated to iOS 14.3. I have tried a new 3,5mm to lightning adapter as well as new headphones of the same sort. This is really annoying since my ears have gotten blasted with too loud volume when i drive my car and use the button and other situations. Am I alone on this? I haven't found any good hits when searching for it. Is it an iOS bug? Can I do anything but wait for an update? Can i notify developers about this problem noone seems to write about?

iPhone XS -Loss of volume in earphones Suddenly the volume in my earphones (wired) has been cut by at least half using my iPhone Xs. It’s not the earphones or connector since they work fine with other iPhones. I’ve tried every setting I could find, and none had been changed, nor does it make any difference if I change those settings now.

Headphones no longer work to increase or lower volume New or old headphones no longer work to increase or lower volume, or to stop playing on my iPhone 6 SE. Thank you in advance.

Hello Mario9901,

It seems like you want the sound to be lowered automatically when using headphones, is that correct? We'd like to help.

Just to confirm, are Headphone Notifications enabled in Settings >Sounds & Haptics > Headphone Safety > Headphone Notifications? If so, is "Reduce Loud Sounds" also enabled?

"You can also turn on Reduce Loud Sounds to automatically lower your headphone volume when it exceeds your set decibel level." More about that here:

Headphone notifications on your iPhone, iPod touch, or Apple Watch

Thanks!
