Fix Media Volume Low.
1. Restart the iPhone
Restarting your iPhone could be the first fix you need. It shuts down all running processes and load the iPhone afresh without causing any data loss. So, go ahead and restart your iPhone to see if it fixes the issues. If not, look for another method in the article.
2. Take off your iPhone case
At times, if you have a bulky iPhone case or if it's upside down, this could hinder the speaker volume. Remove the case and try to play music and check if your iPhone volume issue is fixed.
3. Check the connection
The issue may arise from a loose connection. Here we need to apply some pressure with caution at the bottom-right of the iPhone. Place your thumb at the right of your Home button, and your index finger at the back in the same position. Gently squeeze for like 20 seconds, and then release.
If a connector was loose, this move should have fixed it.If you have a thicker phone case, remove it and try the same. Next, check if the low volume is fixed.
4. Prop up the phone to amplify the vibrations
You can prop your iPhone upside-down to make the speakers face upwards or cup the speakers with your hand. These improve volume effectiveness. You can also place the iPhone on a conductive surface such as sand while playing music, which may amplify acoustics.
5. Clean iPhone’s receivers and speakers
To do this, ensure you have a clean and dry soft-bristled brush. Remove your iPhone case, films, and protectors. Check if your speaker opening is dirty or blocked and clean it with the brush.
6. Clean the charging port
First, adjust your volume to see if iPhone is playing music via an attached connection. This can arise if your port is dirty and the iPhone thinks it’s connected to earphones. Try to dislodge the dirt inside by inserting and removing earphones a few times. And then see if the volume issue is fixed.
7. Toggle the equalizer
This applies to music. Open Settings > Music > EQ.
The equalizer by default is Off. Switch it to Late Night, and then play music to see if there are any improvements. You should notice a boost in the volume.
8. Check the Bluetooth mode
Your iPhone may be connected to your Apple TV or even your vehicle’s audio, hence the sound issue.
To verify this, go to Bluetooth under Settings, check which device you are connected to, and disconnect from it if any. Then play music again.
9. Check the iOS version
What iOS version are you currently using? Probably an outdated iOS is the issue behind iPhone volume going low. Updating your iOS can fix system loopholes in the original version and hopefully fix your low iPhone volume.
10. Back up your phone and restore it via DFU mode
DFU restore should be the last resort if you are sure it’s a software problem causing your low iPhone volume. As a DFU restore wipes all your data, you need to first create a backup.
Once you’ve backed up your data, put your iPhone to DFU mode and choose“Restore”. The firmware codes of your iPhone will be rewritten fully. Your iPhone will restart as new with all issues fixed.
