Facetime Audio Way Too Loud

When on facetime the audio randomly gets extremely loud as if it’s on the highest level of volume. Based on the side bar and the control center, my volume is all the way down it is still so loud. Changing the volume levels doesn’t change the volume at all, it just stays loud. In settings I toggle the “change with volume buttons” feature for ringer and alerts on and off which temporarily returns the volume back to normal, only for it to become severely loud again not even seconds later. I change my mic to different modes and it does nothing. I’m seriously annoyed as facetime is completely unusable at this point. Only happens on speaker mode, not when using airpods.

So I’ve been having this issue also, every single FaceTime call I have the more frequent it becomes but I’ve somewhat figured out what the issue is.


If you have tiktok (it’s the only app I’ve notice that does this) but when you receive a notification (even if it’s in app) your audio will randomly glitch out and you won’t be able to change your volume.


The only thing that’s worked that fixes the volume is playing audio (either music or a video) and it will fix itself. (You can do it while you’re in call)


I’m not sure why its causing this issue but I hope it gets fixed. If it’s not tiktok that’s causing it, it’s a notification issue with apple then.
