iOS 11 - Volume Control

I had this same issue. Followed all the steps suggested. Already had “change with buttons” turned on. Changed volume everywhere.

Turning off my Bluetooth (from settings, not control center) fixed the issue. Notifications / keyboard click volume lowered back down.

Hi. The volume control in Control Center is for music and voice. The volume control at the top of Settings > Sounds & Haptics controls the sounds. You need to turn it down. I suspect that the buttons only control the sounds volume when a sound is playing.

Someone suggested turning Bluetooth off in settings, and that worked for me. Idk why, but I’ll take it.

I had the same problem with dictation microphone (start and end) alert volume. I have iOS 11.1.1 iPhone 8. **To adjust the microphone alert volume: go into Notes to create new note. Press the microphone button to enable dictation then immediately press your volume down button on the side of the handset to lower the volume of the alert. I used both hands when doing this. You probably will need the “change with buttons” setting enabled in sounds & haptics.** Repeat to get the volume level preferred, i.e., these steps will allow for both decreasing or increasing the alert volume.

Try a reboot, solves it for me. Although it came back twice... I believe it started after the second update for ios 11.

I have noticed that the in-app volume control is now controlling other audio (ringer, notifications, etc.) The ringer volume control doesn’t seem to be doing much. The volume buttons SHOULD change either, if you have it set up in your preferences, depending what the display is showing when the buttons are pressed. Again, ringer (and notification) volume control doesn’t seem to be working even though it is present on the GUI.

I had this too. There’s a new button under settings/sounds & haptics. It’s called “change with buttons” and my guess is yours is off. Select it and you will be able to adjust them again as before.

After hearing so many great things about iPhones for the past decade, I'm quite surprised that I have to ask for such a simple level of customization.

Asking here won't accomplish much. Let Apple know what you'd like to see:

This is my problem too. I turn down the volume per the posters above and then a text comes in at full volume or I try to play some audio and it blasts me regardless of my settings. Really annoying!

Hi guys I got the same problem but it’s an easy fix go to Settings, Sounds & Haptics" and u will see the slider for the ringer volume control look under that u will see Change with buttons just select that and the problem is fixed👍-1F3FB;👍-1F3FB;

Same exact issue. Notifications are SUPER loud on my iPhone X. Music & Voice volume is down (all the way). The ringer volume is set to where i need it to be (relatively soft) - but the notifications are WAY WAY too loud!

I am having this problem with the sound that begins and end voice/dictation of text, as in messages or note taking (i.e., when using keyboard and I select the microphone). I'd be happy just to mute it but don't know how. Let me know if you figure this out.

Hi! I'm facing the exact issue. I recently upgraded but all sounds are way too loud! Ringer is fine but the notification sounds are very loud. It's annoying. Still no way to adjust the notification sounds? Ugh.
