Volume is too low

muskist

Hello everyone, the volume is very low. uVolMan does not help. Any ideas?

TIA

@muskist What do the volume buttons do?

Very much a personal thing, however it works fine on one of my tablets (watching the UBports Q&A). I can hear it clearly, bit tinny compared to my main PC speakers.

The reason I ask about volume buttons is that the power and volume button ribbon cable is connected and generally the power button fails, but this then brings on an issue with the volume buttons, they either don't work, one doesn't work or the volume appears to go up and down on the on screen slider, but no volume. This is a rare hardware issue. I have also found the speaker grills get gummed up with dust..

(tablet is on r89)

Thanks for your reply.

Volume is clearly lower than X605F.

Volume buttons seem to work fine. They increase to a (not sufficient) maximum an decrease to zero. The blue indicator on the display works fine, too.

No problems with the Power button.

Has been like this from the beginning. Updates did not help.

@muskist Maybe a hardware issue?

Edit, and I must apologise, I was talking about the x605f...

I am going to test with my x306f shortly.

Further edit, my x306f has normal sound as expected for a tablet. Are your speakers covered up?

I encountered the same problem with ear buds - loud on my x605f but low on the x306f. Therefore it's not about the speakers.

I will reinstall UT and try again.

Thanks again!

Found it. It's the Sapot browser - don't know why.
Every other app gives sufficient sound, including the Morph browser.

"Man findet es immer da, wo man zuletzt sucht" - German saying, meaning "you always find it where you are looking last" (deepl).

Thanks again.
