Anyone experienced low-volume output when paired to iPhone5s on this speaker? The volume on my unit is lower than actual volume fr phone's speaker.

The volume was super low from my iphone5, I got a replacement speaker and it was just as low. I think this speaker is garbage and useless for outdoor use.

From my experience, the volume of this speaker is really low. When first paired with iPhone, I suppose it set the volume at mid-level, which is actually lower than iPhone's speaker. You have to turn on the volume up to the maximum, you can get something slightly louder than iphone's speaker depending the audio source. For most music source in my iphone, the M3 speaker's volume is okay for indoor usage. For speeches, or the sound from Youtube, the Me speaker's volume is only slightly louder that iPhone, which is completely useless in outdoor usage.

same problem... at low volumes with ipod touch 2nd gen. it has a terribly obnoxious static... nothing i do seems to correct the problem. using line in, it sounds great, but that kind of defeats the purpose of the system.

My sound is pretty loud. To pump up the volume u have to hold the button down. Mine is so loud that my so in his room is begging me to turn it down. I don't understand what happened with yours. I have no problems at all with mine. And guess what!! My phone volume is turned to half way and my speaker is still loud. I never turn my up all the way up. The speaker just takes off with its loudness. Love it�

I just checked it by calling my sis. It does work on phone calls but NOT with the iphone speaker phone turned on. It also works on Siri. To get better quality sound for both your iphone 5 and speaker do the following:On iphone main page touch settings.Scroll down to Music and touch.Touch EQ.Then pick a category to your liking.I have mine set on Bass Booster.Hope all of this helps you. I really like this speaker.

Try reducing the output volume. I have to keep mine fairly low. Takes some tweaking

OK for me. I have an iphone5 (not S or C model) FYI.It worked on all my speakers on initial set-up and streaming.

during set up, how was the volume set in your computer/pad/phone? i control the volume in my setup, from my iPad. i believe that i too had that issue, and my son enlightened me. i may also have incorrectly set up the blue tooth. certainly glad my son is patient... because i have only been retired from being a computer programmer for over 30 years, would have hoped that i would have been able to set up a small speaker on my own!

Not sure why it didn't work, on Bluetooth setting and in discoverable mode for my phone. Then with the speaker on I pressed the Bluetooth button and it paired easily. I have my iPhone and iPad connected with it. I have others connected to it at work, iPhone and android based phones. Try holding the Bluetooth button down a few seconds while your device is in discoverable mode. Other than that I don't have any other suggestions. Maybe another buyer could help?

I got some feedback when using the amplifier in a small room and at high volume. Try lower volume or any close wall at front. If feedback is always present, maybe is defective.

I have never had a problem w/mine, it works wonderfully and has a great sound. I am wondering if your speaker is defective, and you need to return for an exchange? I am a trucker, my team mate and I both use it, in the truck and in the rest rooms while showering, and have never had a problem w/sound quality or reception. Either your speaker or the cable you are using to connect may be defective?

NO. Horrible audio. Invest in a quality phone system. I use my IPhone even at home.

We get no feedback unless we put the iPhone or iPad near the device. So perhaps it's faulty device. I've worn my device on my shirt pocket and around my neck and never had feedback issues. Reducing the volume might help. Good luck.

I recently purchased this speaker but when I connected to ZUNE HD player it produces low output, which you can hear only if placed near your ears. any solution?

You can adjust the volume two ways: on the iPhone and on the speaker. You can use both to go as low as you like. Great sound for this little speaker!

No did you pair the speaker with your phone? I believe you put the speaker in pairing mode by holding down the power button. Check the manual. Be careful with the charging port when you charge it. After about a month mine came lose. It's lightly soldered.

To resolve the low volume problem: Erase the iBN24 Bluetooth connection from your phone, then do a full reset of the Bluetooth settings in the iHome speaker; turn unit ON then press and hold the Bluetooth Pairing Button on the back of the unit for 8 seconds. The light will flash red rapidly and a tone will sound. You will then need to re-pair your phone to the device. Full sound should be back.

I have never heard of this problem. Have you accidentally changed the volume settings for an individual source? If you have verified it's not a setting issue, I'd suggest contacting Alpine. Their tech support is very good.
