    I was having the same issue, especially with music on my headphones playing very quietly and ran across an article saying that Facebook's "in-app sound" was causing the issue.  I went into my sound settings on the Facebook app and turned the In-App Sound setting to OFF and my music volume went back to normal again.   The setting is located in Settings > Account Settings > Sounds on the app.

     

    This makes sense for me because I had only installed Facebook yesterday and today was the first day I noticed the levels being so low.

    Thanks for the tip.

     

    I tried the tip and switched off 'in-app sounds' in the settings section within the Facebook app, but in my case, it made no difference to the music volume with headphones and remains low.

    I was experiencing this same issue with my new iPhone 6s+ - just not enough volume when listening to music from my collection, or to videos, for that matter. I was researching the issue tonight, and found a suggestion in an older thread about the iPhone 4s, posted about three years ago..

     

    That post suggested going to music settings, scrolling down to playback and then then switching off "Sound Check." I'd tried that before with no success, but this time, I switchd off "Sound Check" and then I performed a power-down reboot.

     

    Now my audio is acceptable.

    It not and issue its just what the new iphone 6s is and im f'ing ******! An expensive phone that doesn't get loud enough, its complete garbage! I use the phone almost exclusively for music at the gym and im constantly pushing the volume button only to find its all the way up!!!! SOOOOO, I spent 2 hours at the apple store in Santa Monica California yesterday about this issue! Every employee seems to be oblivious to this and the phone passed the tests they ran!  VERY, VERY ANNOYING!!!!!

     

    If it annoys you so much, the solution is obvious - return your phone for a refund.

    This  fixed the problem of my wife's iPhone...

     

    We have both a 6s+... mine is really loud, hers isn't (or wasn't ;-)

     

    I turn on and off the soundcheck... rebooted the phone and the problem was fixed

     

    Thanks a lot.

    had the same problem unusable with headphones

    used the volume control from the locked screen and suddenly all the volume back

    so some problem between the volume buttons on the phone and the headphones as they were on full but when I slid the music controls up from the bottom of the screen it was set on low slid it up and full volume

    hope this works for everyone  as I was not happy with a 2 wk old 6s and no music

    I have got the same issue and no one of mentioned solutions worked for me .... This is so disappointing because I bought 128GB version only for listening to music

     

    I hope its not related to a A9 chip again because unfortunately my chip is SAMSUNG  ...

     

    Please share your solutions if you got one. Thanks

    I went to the appointment with the "genius" (he was not so genius), anyway, I've tested another Iphone 6s (not plus like mine) but the volume level  it was the same. So...I keep my 6s plus.

    I' ve tested also with my friend iphone 6 plus,..but it is the same.

    I've noticed  with some files...or better with audio files that have low volume (try if you can with the Pink Floyd albums from iTunes)Or some radios.

    If you try to hear Beat1 the volume is acceptable, if you try to listen other radios ..the volume is low...

    At the end.. my iPad mini 2 has a great music volume..the iphone 6s plus not. There is not solution..I suppose.

    Well... Facebook solution worked for me ... but Personally I purchased a Beats Urbeats headphone for about 70 Euros from Amazon and I am really happy with it.

     

    Maybe this is kind of removing the question itself but it works for me at the moment.

     

    Have you tried the Facebook solution ... Try to remove the Facebook app and then reboot the phone and see if this solves this issue.

     

    Good luck

    Hi, I have this same problem. Tried to put the volume up using the slide down screen when on lock, on/off sound check/ EU limit removed, but cannot see the volume settings for in-app Facebook. Within the notifications section in the Facebook app settings there is an off/on switch but I cannot see a volume switch in the app settings at all.
