Phone Volume Too Low? 5 Solutions to Fix It

"Even at max volume, my phone is still too quiet." "I can barely hear the voice during calls."

Sound familiar? Before assuming it's broken, try these 5 solutions to fix your phone's low volume issue.

1. Double-Check Your Volume Settings

This may seem obvious, but it's easy to overlook. Smartphones have multiple volume controls: media volume, call volume, and ringtone volume.

If videos are too quiet, adjust the media volume. For low call volume, increase the call volume. Check your settings to make sure each is set to maximum.

2. Clean Your Speaker

Dust and debris can clog your phone's speaker, making sound muffled or quieter than usual.

Use a soft brush or cotton swab to gently clean the speaker openings. You might be surprised how much this simple step can improve sound quality.

3. Check Your Phone Case

Is your phone case blocking the speaker holes?

Thick cases or waterproof covers can sometimes muffle the sound. Try removing your case to see if the volume improves.

4. Test Different Audio Sources

Sometimes the issue isn't your phone—it's the content itself.

Some videos or music files are recorded at lower volumes. Try playing different content (like another YouTube video) to see if the problem persists.

5. Use a Volume Booster App

If none of the above solutions work, or you simply want louder audio, consider using a volume booster app.

These apps can amplify sound beyond your phone's built-in maximum volume.
