Mickey,
I’m unable to duplicate your issue. I’m running iOS 15.1 on an iPhone 13 Mini and have a couple of Bluetooth speakers available to my iPhone. I have some follow-up questions/comments: 1. When you’re playing a BARD Mobile item and adjust the volume, are you using the volume buttons on your iDevice as opposed to the speaker itself? Your original post wasn’t clear and I’m assuming you meant the iDevice’s volume buttons. 2. Is Voiceover coming through your connected Bluetooth speaker? When I was unable to duplicate your issue, Voiceover was coming through the speaker which is my preference. 3. What is the setting of Audio destination in your rotor when you’re experiencing this issue? I believe mine was set to Default audio but I had an External audio choice as well. Does the issue continue if you cycle between audio destination settings? 4. Do you have Audio ducking turned on or off when experiencing the issue and have you tried toggling it to the other option to see if it makes a difference.? 5. With your Bluetooth speaker connected, what is its device type setting? In Settings, Bluetooth, place focus on the speaker name and single finger swipe down to More info and double tap. A screen opens where you can double tap on Device type and select between Car stereo, Headphone, Hearing aid, Speaker, and Other. Neither of my Bluetooth speakers had anything selected on this screen and I still was unable to duplicate your issue when I marked my device type as a speaker. I did notice that the Voiceover clicks when swiping on the screen seemed much louder after selecting Speaker here but Voiceover volume for everything else was unchanged. Post back after answering the above questions or trying any of the above items to let us know if any difference occurred. If nothing changes, I’d contact Apple Accessibility as has been suggested.

I am now on iOS 15.1 with exactly the same problem. However I did figure out that you can create the problem not only with bard but with the regular music app also just follow the instructions above an open music instead of barred. I’m hoping to find the case ID and report this to Apple today. ******* MQ ******* On Apr 27, 2021, at 5:34 PM, Mickey Quenzer <mickey.quen...@gmail.com <mailto:mickey.quen...@gmail.com> > wrote: Steps to reproduce the problem Add a speaker to Bluetooth settings. Go into bard and start playing a book Use the volume up and down button to set the volume of the speaker you’re playing through. While in bard just use voiceover normally. You’ll find that there are two volumes with voiceover. One of them is the volume that you set in the rotor and the other one is actually unknown to me at this point that one is very loud and uncontrollable. Questions: One which volume setting is that voice coming from? To how do you control that volume? Notes If you want to change set your system up to be normal again just disconnect the Bluetooth ******* MQ ******* *******270-776-9871 ******* -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.
