Have you tried rapidly turning down the volume with the side buttons when that happens to see if the next time it is not so loud? Also, I hope you have reported this to Apple. I've noticed that too and have reported it. Richard

I have my ringer volume set to 25%. I also have turned my VO volume down to 25%. When I set an alarm and the alarm goes off, VO becomes super loud until I deactivate the alarm at which point VO returns to its normal volume. I have the same problem with VO becoming super loud when I make a phone call. Neither of these problems were present before iOS10.

For someone across the room to hear it at that level I would have to turn the volume up to nearly maximum using the volume buttons on the side of the phone. Then, just about any ringer volume setting would be terribly loud. The idea is to find a reasonable balance between cranking up the volume using the volume buttons, and the settings on the rotor and in the sound settings. Without being in the same room, trying to describe all this in writing is going to be extremely difficult. Perhaps you could do a recording and put it on dropbox to give an example of what you are saying. Just my thoughts.

I adjust the media volume to a level where the tone can be heard, but voice over is still loud enough for people on the other side of the room to hear and completely understand. But since the media volume is tied to alerts, I have to have it up a little to hear the tones. I use the rotor volume to turn voice over down so it's not so loud. I just don't know why the alert volume is tied to the media stream while voice over is running, but goes back to the ringer and alert stream when it's not.

Or did I misunderstand? I admit that there is a slight decrease in volume, but it's no big thing and it comes back. Compared to other bugs, such as those with email threads, HTML messages reading rows and columns, and the much discussed bug that Apple has admitted to with email, where the two finger flick up doesn't work like it used to, this just doesn't seem like a big deal. Can't you raise your rotor volume up to something more than 15%? If I put my volume down to 15%, I'm not sure I could really hear it unless I was in a very quiet environment. Can you help me understand what the real issue is here? Sorry.

I set my ring tone volume up to 80 percent in settings. Then I went back to home and turned voice over off with the triple press of the home button. I sent myself a text and the alerts volume is where the ringer volume was. I turned voice over back on and sent myself a text not changing any volumes and it was low again down with the media volume. So something with voice over is making this change. We need to all report this in hopes to get it fixed. You all can easily duplicate this on your own phones if you want. -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.
