Has anyone else noticed that the headphone volume output with the iPhone 5 is considerably lower than with previous models?
I've checked the volume limiter and all the usual stuff, but I cannot find a way to make this "normal" again. Even on its loudest setting, it's sometimes not loud enough, especially for spoken word content.
Any ideas on why this is/can it be fixed?
iPhone 5, iOS 6
I solved this issue.
The earphone volume, even for phone calls, is affected by Settings/Music/Volume Limit.
That setting is a slider labeled MAX VOLUME.
Slide it all the way to the right.
You can then hear normal volume in your ear phones during phone calls, etc.
I don't use my phone for Music, I use it for a phone. But I have to go to "Music" to fix the low volume problem.
Unbelievably bad design by Apple.
This isn't limited to the 5 & 6 iPhones. The earphones Mac Book Pro and iPad are noticeably worse than the Earbuds. The Macbook is a 2011 model that used to work well with the earphones from the iPhone 4, they no longer do, just tinny and low volume. So it appears that OSX has changed to also ensure you now have to use the later earbuds.
my iphone 5s speakers volume is too low can anybody help me plz
I just removed the screen covering the small hole on the ear pieces, it caused a major change! however i am not sure how long the earphones are going to last without the protection screens!!
What you need to do is ensure the "sound check" button is not "ON".
TURN IT OFF and your volume control returns to normal.
Problem solved. Thanks. Sound limit was on.
