Jeff: Check Settings > Sounds > Ringers and Alerts. You can move the slider To increase or decrease the ringer volume independently of, say, the Music volume.
There is also a Change with Buttons toggle. WIth the toggle set to "On," you can change the Ringer/Alerts volume when you go to your Home screen by hitting the volume buttons. If that toggle is "Off," the volume buttons change the overall sound levels (like Music, Podcast and Videos), but must change the Ringer/Alert volumes from the slider in Settings. No, I don't know why Apple made this so convoluted. And don't get me started on the Mute switch that doesn't actually mute everything. :-) Best wishes, Clint On Oct 14, 2012, at 12:18 PM, Jeff Weinberger <[email protected]> wrote: > This may be a simple issue and I may be missing something > obvious...but not that I can see, so any help is appreciated. > > The volume on my iPhone 4S running iOS 6 suddenly got very low > yesterday.
