Keyboard click volume fluctuation

I've only found a few responses from searches re: this issue, so I'll start my own...

Has anyone experienced the keyboard volume get louder and softer while typing? I'm not covering the speaker, because it happens when the phone is flat on a table. Randomly, while typing a text or e-mail, the keyboard sound drops to almost silent, and then, just as randomly, up to loud.

Obviously, this is a minor issue, but I do like the typing sound option, and it's a bit annoying when it jumps up and down. Thanks.

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.4.11)

Hi.

I just had it where my key clicks and lock sound/alerts disappeared on my iPad 2. Went to the genius bar and they did a reset all settings which seemd to work where the click came back. Shortly after, the key clicks started getting quieter and I could not increase them even when moving the volume key up and down. I poked around and just discovered that there is a sound setting whereby you need to set the slider to 'on' so that when you adjust the volume key, your sounds (clicks and alerts) will adjust too.


Go to setting>general>sounds>change with buttons>slide this to 'on'


Your sounds will now adjust with your volume switch.


Hope this helps.

Hmmm. Do you think what the genius bar did for me first would help?


Go to settings>general>reset>reset all settings.

This will not erase any of your data but you will have to key in your wifi password again to get going. Once that is done, you should hear the clicks and maybe the way they were with the older iOS.

Worth a try?
