Gigi,
Keep in mind, you speak of the 4S. I think you may be a little confused.
We're not talking about the 4S. We're talking about the IPhone 5. Yes, I
like you, didn't have any of these problems on my 4S either. It wasn't
until I upgraded that I started experiencing them.
Thank you kindly,
Christopher-Mark Gilland.

Subject: Re: Has anyone with an IPhone 5 also had this issue?
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.
Regards,
Gigi

Chris;
I am having both of these issues with my iPhone 4S, running iOS six. I
also tried changing the localization for Siri, for example switching it to
the UK voice. I found that I was additionally having the same volume issue
that you are having.
Related to the notifications, that is very irritating when it occurs. I
typically have to have someone repeat themselves when they are speaking to
me on the phone.

OK, I just bit the bullet today and now have gotten an IPhone 5. God!
Blessid! I love this thing! I do however have one very minor yet
extremely irritating problem, and I didn't know if maybe I forgot to set
something, or maybe if this is actually an IPhone 5 issue. First of all,
let's talk about Siri. One thing I notice is that when she speaks back
to me, even though I have Voiceover at a real comfortable volume, she is
extremely quiet on the Siri side of things. Yes, I did turn it up while
she was in the process of speaking, just like you do to raise the
Voiceover volume. That worked, but I then find that sometimes if I use
Siri dictation, when she repeats back what she's insertting into the text
box, it's again really quiet. I'll turn it back up, but then later after
a few times of use, she'll notcher self right back down. It's totally
strange! I don't get it! Yeah, I did power off the phone and back on
just in case of a glitch. I also did quickly quintupple rapidly do the 5
click press on the sleep button to reset my springboard. That did no
good either.
The other problem is, say I'm on a call and I get a text message, or say
a Facebook alert etc. Voiceover reads the notification so loudly that it
almost blows my eardrum! The first time it happened, I almost through
the thing across the room as it scared me so badly. (OK, that's being a
bit exagerant, but you get my point.) LOL! The bottom line is, it was
extremely! loud. and I do mean, l'l'l'loud! I mean that sucker, had to
be at least! generously speaking, yet literally speaking, probably 3 or 4
times louder than the person I was speaking to. As she was reading the
notification, I quickly clicked my volume down button on the left side of
the phone, and I got it where Voiceover was no longer blaring, but at
that point, the person I was talking to was almost inaudible. Could this
be because the setting under settings, sound was set to where the volume
buttons effect the ringer and alerts? I shut that off, as I normally
have that off anyway, but for some odd reason, that setting didn't carry
over from my backup's restoration from my old 4S. I just know that is
gonna drive me nuts and make me deaf in the longrun if I can't figure it
out. LOL! Yes, I literally mean it, it was that? loud! It was insane!
The really bizarre thing is, now get a load a this! on speaker phone? I
don't have that problem. voiceover is pretty much the same exact volume
as the party who is on the line. Isn't? that! weird? Anyway, yeah...
I'm at a loss. If anyone has any clue, please! do tell! Now, I'm
really! curious.
Chris.
