Likely fix
Fix: Sound is very quiet
Very quiet sound is usually caused by separate volume controls, low app volume, quiet source audio, wrong audio mode, dirty speakers, or volume limits.
Quick answer
Raise volume on the device, the app, and the speaker/headphones. Then check output settings, volume limits, and whether another app is louder.
Important warning
Be careful with very high headphone volume. Raise volume gradually to avoid sudden loud audio.
Try this
- 1 Raise system volume.
- 2 Raise volume inside the app or website.
- 3 Raise volume on headphones, speakers, monitor, or TV.
- 4 Check Volume mixer on Windows if using a PC.
- 5 Check whether a volume limit or headphone safety setting is enabled.
- 6 Try another app or video.
- 7 Clean speaker grilles gently if using phone or laptop speakers.
- 8 Try another output device to compare.
