Free Download Volume Control For Iphone
Edison Riviere
The volume setting within the desktop app is changing the volume on my phone, in all apps, not just within Spotify. If I turn the volume to max within Spotify(mac), it overrides the volume settings on my phone. When I lower the volume on apps, it then lowers the volume on the desktop version of Spotify. I do not want this.
To further look into this, can you let us know if this is happening while using Connect? Also, a screenshot or screen recording where we can see how you're controlling your phone's volume settings from your desktop app would come in handy.
The circumstance is this: Spotify is playing on my computer, as normal. I will be using my phone, say on Twitter, and I will see the volume bar pop up on the side and go to full volume. If I then press the phone's volume control down, across the room my Spotify volume will reduce as well. If I go to the computer and turn Spotify back up, the volume on my phone goes right up with it. Attached video shows my phone volume going up and down as I control Spotify volume on desktop.
Spotify keeps pumping the volume up to full blast on my iPhone and if I lower it on the iPhone, my desktop spotify also automatically matches that volume. Often it also reverts back to full volume no matter what.
I am experiencing this issue right now as well (iPhone 12 and MacBook Pro 2019). I have gone as far as to close the Spotify app on my phone, as I noticed that AirPlay would still display controls for what was playing on my laptop. Several times I have lowered my phone's volume to play games or use other media, only for it to shoot up to full volume after a delay period of a minute or so.
I have yet to experience this issue when I play music in the background using my laptop PC, so either it's an issue that arose recently or it only affects volume control when I'm playing on this new Mac. I'd send video evidence, but @kevohblock's response above perfectly captures what I'm experiencing on my end.
Sorry for the slow answer! Yes, the strange thing is that even when I kill the spotify app from the background on iPhone, my phone volume will still control the spotify volume on my PC and keeps pumping the volume to 100% on my phone.
I would still really hope to see an option to disable volume sync completely as it's impossible to listen to music from my desktop computer and browse content on your mobile phone if you accidentally have Spotify open in the background as the volume will be at full blast.
As my both hands were occupied filming I only adjusted the volume from the phone, but when I put the volume back to full on my desktop, it also pumps it to full in my phone. At least now you can "fix" this by killing spotify from the background, but who kills apps from the background these days?
If that's the case, then this is expected behavior on iOS devices for now. This is based on how volume control works and that volume sync between Spotify apps on different devices is enabled to allow for remote control. In order to disconnect this control, the app needs to be closed completely.
In general, the App Store Review Guidelines state that re-purposing physical buttons is not allowed. However, since the volume up button is now a standard feature for taking photos, there appears to be some leniency for camera apps that also adopt this feature. The official guidelines state this rule in section 2.5.9:
After the most recent update, I can no longer reliably control the volume of Pandora when steaming over AirPlay from my iOS devices. When I connect to my Apple TV 4K (the AirPlay hub in my sound system), the sound comes out at 100% and cannot be turned down. This was NOT an issue prior to the latest update. The only temporary fix I found was to uninstall Pandora, then reinstall it... It will then work properly until I shut it down; then back to 100% volume and no control. All of my other streaming apps and Apple Music work perfectly fine with volume control available. This is frustrating enough to consider dropping Pandora after many years of use... Please help!
Meanwhile, when streaming Pandora to an Airport Express (Gen 2) on a secondary network in my house, the volume control continues to work properly. Perhaps this additional information will be helpful.
I look forward to a resolution.
Wondering if there is a way to increase the sensitivity of the volume buttons. I frequently find that one click of the volume up/down buttons changes the sound level way too much. I would like to adjust by smaller increments, like a third or a quarter of the default values.
@Mpacker This is mainly a concern when using wired earbuds connected via an external DAC/AMP, and when the listening volume is already a bit loud. Change of dynamics during or between tracks will often require a slight adjustment. This is usually less of an issue when listening to an album than for playlists with tracks from different albums. For instance, the mastering output levels are significantly lower for older recordings than contemporary ones, generally speaking.
The iPhone 5 offers several ways in which you can control and customize the sounds played when you receive an email, text message or other event types. The volume buttons and "Ring/Silent" switch can also be used to control whether your phone alerts can be heard and the volume at which they are played. Your phone's "Sounds" menu can also be used to control how and when these sounds activate, enabling you to customize your experience with the iPhone 5.
A broken volume button is often unexpected and can be annoying to deal with. After all, we don't realize how much we use it until it no longer works. Not being able to turn your volume down when an annoying video plays or your song is too loud can also be embarrassing.
Some might not be aware of this, but there is a setting that turns your iPhone's volume buttons on and off. This setting is already enabled by default on all devices, but it's possible someone can turn it off without realizing it.
To check this, head to Settings > Sounds & Haptics and toggle on Change with Buttons. If this isn't enabled, this could be why your volume buttons aren't working. If it's already enabled, proceed to the next fix.
iPhones are expensive, so it's likely that most of you use a case to protect them. In some instances, your case can interfere with your volume buttons. This is especially true with cases that have layers or have built-in screen protectors.
To clean your volume buttons, take a cotton swab and dip it in isopropyl alcohol. The best option for cleaning electronics is 99 percent isopropyl alcohol, as it dries quickly and doesn't contain much water. It also removes dirt and grime by breaking up oils.
Use the cotton swab to clean around your volume button the best you can. If you can push down on the buttons, doing so might help you clean it better. There's no need to overdo it with the alcohol, as it doesn't take much to work.
After cleaning, wait a few minutes for the alcohol to dry. If your volume buttons are working now, great! If they are only working a bit better, that's a sign that they are still dirty, and you should keep cleaning them. It's worth cleaning your entire iPhone if it's dirty.
Sometimes, firmware updates can change how the buttons on our phones work. This is especially true for older iPhone models. If you recently updated your iPhone and the volume buttons stopped working, try restarting your iPhone by turning it off and on again.
If that doesn't help, you might need to reset your device. This means backing up your iPhone and erasing all the content settings. A full reset might also work if your volume button stops working after an app download or a jailbreak attempt.
If you use apps like Spotify, you can control the volume within the app without a physical button. If all else fails, there are still ways to control your volume without using the buttons. The easiest way is to use the Control Center.
You can open the Control Center and adjust your volume by swiping down from the top-right corner of your iPhone. If your iPhone has a Home button, you'll need to swipe up from the bottom of the screen instead.
If you have AirPods, you can say, "Hey Siri, turn up the volume." Other Bluetooth headphones typically have built-in volume controls, which you can use as well. This means that you won't have to keep going to your phone when you want to change the volume.
If you're looking for another way to control the volume, consider using AssistiveTouch. You can set the AssistiveTouch button to open a menu to control your volume on the screen or have it either turn up or down when tapped.
If cleaning your buttons and resetting your iPhone doesn't fix the volume buttons, you most likely need to get the buttons repaired. This is especially true if you recently damaged your iPhone or exposed it to water.
While they don't break often, it's bothersome if they do. Luckily, the solutions mentioned above will fix your iPhone volume buttons in most cases, and you'll be able to change your volume again in no time.
Whether you want to permanently reduce the volume of your iPhone alarms to avoid also waking roommates or adjust the sound based on the noise level in the office or coffee shop, Apple gives iPhone users multiple ways to control the alert feature's volume.
On iPhone and iPod touch, a placeholder with a play button is shown until the user initiates playback, as shown in Figure 2-1. The placeholder is translucent, so the background or any poster image shows through. The placeholder provides a way for the user to play the media. If the iOS device cannot play the specified media, there is a diagonal bar through the control, indicating that it cannot play.
Controls are always supplied during fullscreen playback on iPhone and iPod touch, and the placeholder allows the user to initiate fullscreen playback. On the desktop or iPad, you must either include the controls attribute or provide playback controls using JavaScript. It is especially important to provide user controls on iPad because autoplay is disabled to prevent unsolicited cellular download.
