Hi guys. I am not having the same issue with my iPhone 4 s. In fact, things improved with iPhone 4 s when IOS 6 came out. I had the opposite problem with it until then. VoiceOver was so quiet that I couldn't hear it when I needed to deal with some computer that wouldn't shut up. Sorry guys, but I'm really liking the volume I'm having on mine these days. So, I'm not sure what is causing your troubles.
