Volume controls are pretty straight-forward in iOS devices. The volume buttons control the ringer volume when there’s no music/video playing and the playback volume, when there is music/video playing. You can also change the volume from within Settings → Sounds.
But here’s a problem that people face: iPhone music volume is too low. Or in some cases, it’s so low that the music becomes inaudible. It’s mostly a problem involving altered defaults in the Music app’s settings. So here is how to fix iPhone low volume problems.
Removing Max-Volume Cap to Fix Volume Issues in Music App on iPhone
Step #1. Launch Settings app on your iPhone and tap on Music.
Step #2. Check the label “Volume Limit.” It should be
OFF. If not, tap on it.
Step #3. Swipe the slider to the right so that the volume is full. When you set the slider completely to the right, it means there’s no volume limit set.
Step #4. Go back (tap on the < arrow from top) and check if the label for Volume Limit is
OFF.
Quit and re-open the music app to see if the volume problem is gone.
Setting Sound Check to Fix iPhone Volume Issue
Sound Check is a useful feature. When enabled, your iPhone will automatically detect if a track naturally has low volume levels: if yes, it will dynamically adjust and compensate for the low volume. Maybe some of your songs are naturally low-volume, and that’s what is causing the low volume problem.
Step #1. Open Settings app and tap on Music.
Step #2. Turn ON the toggle for Sound Check.
Step #3.
Quit the Music app and
then re-open it to see if the volume issue has been fixed or not.
Note: Due to Sound Check, the tracks that have higher volume may sound low. So, keep this in mind, and if you find that most of your songs are playing on lower audio volume, you may want to turn Sound Check off.
Turn Off Equalizer to Fix Volume too Low Issue in Music App
Many times EQ (Equalizer) decreases the volume level. Turning it off may, at times, prove to increase the decibel. To turn OFF EQ:
Step #1. Launch Settings app on your iPhone → Scroll down and tap on Music.
Scroll down to PLAYBACK section and check whether EQ is ON or OFF.
Step #2. Tap on EQ and on the next screen select Off.
