I have noticed the volume decrease issue for a few weeks now. It periodically happens when listening to podcasts, YouTube videos, etc. The simplest way I have found to get the volume back up is to pause the audio with a 2-finger double tap, press either volume button once, and restart the audio.

I was reading a book from NLS on my phone and, at first, I thought the fluctuation in volume might be related to how the book had been recorded, but it continued to happen when I was visiting Facebook and when I was reading e-mail. I rebooted the phone, but it made no difference. Since this morning, however, it hasn't happened any more. A few days ago, we had a power failure. The Iphone was plugged in at the time, charging, and as soon as the power failed, it became almost impossible to use VoiceOver -- speech would stop almost immediately whenever I tried to do anything on the phone. I tried using BlueTooth BEATS earbuds, and that did not help either. Eventually, when I began using my MFI hearing aid (which I hadn't been using when the power went off), VoiceOver would work without stopping. I don't know what caused either of these situations, but, knocking on wood, I'm happy that everything seems to be working right now!

Every now and then the speech suddenly softens and I need to turn up the volume. Then, without any apparent reason, the volume returns and I need to turn it down. It isn’t just Voiceover as I am using Duo Lingo and even the speech on that app softens.

You can just tell siri to turn off voiceover then wait a minute or so then tell siri to turn it back on again. Also try turning off the phone and turning it back on again. <https://www.avast.com/sig-email?utm_medium=email&utm_source=link&utm_campaign=sig-email&utm_content=webmail> Virus-free. <https://www.avast.com/sig-email?utm_medium=email&utm_source=link&utm_campaign=sig-email&utm_content=webmail> www.avast.com On Sat, Apr 20, 2024 at 12:31 PM Joseph hudson <jhud7...@outlook.com <mailto:jhud7...@outlook.com> > wrote: Navigate to speaking rate and then adjust it that way. > On Apr 20, 2024, at 9:27 AM, 'mike' via VIPhone <viphone@googlegroups.com > <mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com> > wrote: > > Hello Everyone > > > After a recent upgrade to the ios, voiceover is now talking at a speed I just > ca't understand.
