iphone sounds! HELP

hallo there, when i increase the ringer, my iphone sounds sound goes quiter, and when i decrease the ringer (with the buttons on the left side of iphone) the sound goes up?

it only happens with sounds like keyboard, lock or when typing messages not for a youtube video for example (there, the sound goes correctly)


and sometimes, while iphone is in ring mode, the notifications sounds sound very loud.

i don’t know what is going on , seems sounds work on their own !

Hello,

Hmm, don't know:

These are the standard steps for sound issues:

1) Is the side silent mute button on? Does any red show? Slide it back and fourth.

2) How about the volume buttons? Is the volume very low? Move the buttons.

3) Is Do Not Disturb on? Go to Settings > Focus > Do Not Disturb. Is it turned on? Check the times.

4) Go to Settings > Sounds & Haptics. Check the Ringer and Alerts slider.  Try changing the sound pattern for the type of alert.

5) Go to Settings > Notifications. Is the app listed?

6) Do other sounds work? What about phone calls? Music? 

7) Volume summary:  Adjust the volume on iPhone

8) Do you have an Apple watch? Many of the notifications will go to the watch instead of the phone. Is the watch in silent mode?

9) Many notifications are partially muted when the phone is unlocked and you are using it vs. locked.

Note: you can send text messages to yourself for testing purposes.

Good luck.
