Re: Understanding volume and VO
I think a podcast on that very subject would be a useful one if anyone feels like presenting something new. -- Carol P Original Message From: Veronica Elsea veron...@laurelcreekmusic.com To: viphone@googlegroups.com Sent: Saturday, May 26, 2012 3:53 AM Subject: Understanding volume and VO Hi everyone! Okay, trying to recover from resetting all of my phone's settings last week. Ouch! Here's my question. Is VoiceOver supposed to be able to talk at one level for one screen like home, and at another level for something like when you're using a headset. I've been trying to get the level up for Siri without being blasted. I think I got things evened out by turning my main level up to about 90 per cent and then turning VoiceOver down. But now if I listen to something like Tune In Radio, it's too loud. If I turn the radio station down, am I changing the master volume and messing up everything else. Man, think I could use a major volume tutorial right about now. grin. Thanks. Veronica.

Re: Understanding volume and VO
Hello. Yes. But this is not a voiceover thing. Its a system audio thing. There is a headphone volume, and a built in speaker volume. And to add to that, Siri has its own volume as well. So, to adjust the volume of Siri, you need to be using it. Same with headphone and built in speaker volumes. All audio players, the built in music app, pandora, etc, are all controlled by system volume. These apps don't have independent volume control.

Re: Understanding volume and VO
What you may want to do is to go into something like TuneIn radio or even the music player and set the main volume slider to about 50 or 60% depending on your preference. Then set the voiceover volume in the rotor to about 75 or 80%. Yes the main volume will relatively change voiceover volume as well and you might move the main volume up or down a little depending on what you are doing. Setting the voiceover volume in the rotor to about 75 to 80% sets it high enough that you can move the main volume up or down a little and still have voiceover volume, but if you set the voiceover rotor volume much above that and voiceover sounds even more distorted than it does anyway. This is assuming using what they call the high quality voice (compact off) All of this of course is just a suggestion and hopefully it can help.
