Issues adjusting volume on iPhone 15 Pro Max

I have the same problem.

My phone: 14 Pro.

iOS Version: 17.2.1.

I tried the suggestions here;

Your suggested restart didn't solve the problem. I cannot turn off the previously suggested "Attention Aware Features" setting, the relevant switch appears to be on and unchangeable (dimmed).

When I turn on screen recording, the error never occurs.

Steps:

1) Open control center

2) Turn the volume all the way up or all the way down

3) Volume rises or falls to medium levels on its own

Please find a solution to this problem.

this happens to me when I have an AirPlay device connected. Let’s say volume is at the mid level, if I press the physical volume to lower it or increase a small amount it shoots up to 90-95% , or when using control center touch control same thing. This is just great when my KEF speakers hit 95% volume and deafen the neighbors and almost self destruct. Apple the volume is broken. Fix it.

Same issue, it seems you need to be playing something and then it will not bounce back up. The issue with that is often times I swipe it down preemptively so that any sounds do not blare loudly. It is like closing a door and then it opens again on its own. I have had moments where I swipe it all the way down from max volume, and it will bounce all the way back up to just under max volume. I continued swiping all the way down after it bounced up and every time it was 80% of the previous value and would not reach zero volume. I have tried everything, including the suggestions in the thread. Nothing worked, there is no correlation between these volume events other than what was stated at the beginning.

I just wanted to add: seems it is not related to the phone model. I had 11 pro and upgraded to 15 pro max recently. I transferred everything using local network. And the bug still here so I could feel myself comfortable in familiar environment.

As I remember this bug appeared after apple added the rubbery feel to volume control.

Having the exact same issues.

-Swipe for control center

-Drag the media volume bar all the way down

-Swipe away control center

-Go right back to swiping for the control center

-IPhone turned the media volume back up 1/4 of the way.

This is frustrating when I’m in an area of silence and can’t trust my iPhone to keep the sound muted. All settings suggestions have been tried, but none of it works.

I’ve done:

1) Settings > Accessibility > Face ID > turn everything off

2) Restarted iPhone

3) This happens with no bluetooth device connected.

4) There’s no VPN

Im not finding anything on the web, so I hope someone in here cracked the issue or Apple notices how inconvenient this is and fixes it.

i have the 11 pro max and have the same issue, attention aware features are turned off as well. the only thing that fixes it is using the side volume buttons, but that defeats the entire purpose of having volume in the control center in the first place. do better apple 💀

INTERESTING....

So... when I have Spotify opened and the music paused (doesn't have to be Spotify... just an app that has audio) after lowering the volume all the way down through the control center (or even with the volume buttons) the volume remains fully lowered/muted. BUT, if I close Spotify and check the control center, it shows the volume at about 10-20%.... EVEN IF I do not adjust the volume after closing Spotify.

This problem has been around for a while. And it’s not specific to one phone model. If I want to quickly swipe down on the volume bar in the control panel (the one you swipe down from the upper right), it treats it like a mistake, and bounces it up slightly. No idea why anyone on iOS team thinks “slyly unmute the volume” is a good feature. I swiped it down fast for a reason.

I just got the 15 pro 3 weeks ago and it was working fine until this morning I started having the volume going up out of no where. I have tried everything and it still doesn’t work. It seems to work when the bluetooth is off. I reached out to apple support and they couldn’t help.

Same issue, however, mine normally dives downward (although has also shot up). Volume maxes out either upwards or downwards. This does not occur with speaker only with usb earbuds attached ( multiple sets of earbuds). Earbuds do not have an independent volume control and “Reduce Loud Audio” is disabled. Phone reboot does not resolve bug. iPhone 15 Pro Max and started after most recent iOS update.

Yep, same for me too and it happens in opposite way.

iPhone 15 Pro Max, iOS 17.3.1

I had a very similar problem, only mine was the opposite: My control center volume kept going down. I followed your steps, DaveCombs, and that solved it! Thank you so much for the perfect solution! Currently running iOS 17.2.1.

You are exactly right. This bug still persists no matter what adjustments I have made under accessibility, sounds, or haptic feedback (everything I thought that could possibly affect change). This is a persistently annnoying issue.

I'm with you. I thought I had a problem with my iPhone 14 and the Mous protective case. Strange. My new iPhone 15 Pro that I bought on 01/11/24 is doing the same thing! I bought the Mous protective case for it and the problem is that the volume changes down to the speaker with a slash on its own. So I took the case off, thinking that the case was causing the issue. Nope...the volume goes to "nada" on its own. I've tried everything listed above and the problem persists. GRRRR Apple!
