iOS 11 - Volume Control

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.

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;

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 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.

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:

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.

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.

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.

Did you ever get this resolved? This and the other issue I’m having, notification tones blaring over playing media, phone, and FaceTime conversations, is really getting on my nerves. iPhone 7+ iOS 11.2.6. Hope you solved your issue.

None of these fixes helped me. Has there been a fix yet that hasn't been posted? I just got an upgrade to an iphone 8 plus last week and it's driving me crazy. I have to slide the sound to mute on the side of my phone for meetings b/c the text alert sound is way too loud.

Oh no...no no no....no way in God's green earth is this possibly an issue in mid-2018. There is no way I believe that Apple has this, well, for lack of better words, a newb issue on their hands.

So basically everyone is confirming to me that this is seriously a thing with iPhones? I switched over just a month ago from my LG V30...considering going back...but now I'm just shocked. Has Apple really no idea how to give us the control over different volume sources in the phone? I mean...Windows has done this for years...Android has done this for a decade. Let me grab my iPhone X...NOPE! Nothing in there either.

The option everyone is mentioning under Sounds & Haptics is pathetically burried beneath several clicks and is not a useful tool for the many times we need to change volumes during the day. And secondly, this does not give me the ability to control my music, notification sounds & alerts and ringer volumes independently.

Pretty lame. This reminds me of the continued issue Apple has with transfering files from your iPhone to a computer, it cannot be done with any video file about 2gb or larger. I'm having to use Google to upload it to Google Drive then download it to my computer. Pretty pathetic for 2018 I think. But Apple does not take it serious nor do they care to improve. This is the 4th convincing factor to hand this phone back to Sprint and say 'no thank you'.
