So you have this nice new (albeit confusing) piece of equipment and you are really excited to start using it. But alas and alack, the volume is so low that you cannot hear what you need to hear!
Follow the steps below to learn how:
This is a tough – Use the volume buttons! Yep, I made a funny there.
On many iPad models, by default, the volume button closest to the top button increases the volume, and the volume button furthest from the top button decreases the volume, regardless of how you hold your iPad.
Dynamic volume buttons adjust automatically as you rotate your iPad such that you increase volume with the button on the right or top, and you decrease volume with the button on the left or bottom, regardless of how you hold your iPad.
The iPad models below feature always-on, dynamic volume buttons:
- iPad Pro 13-inch (M4)
- iPad Pro 12.9-inch (6th generation)
- iPad Pro 11-inch (4th generation)
- iPad (10th generation)
- iPad mini (6th generation)
- iPad Air 13-inch (M2)
- iPad Air (5th generation)
On other iPad models with iOS 15.4 and later, you can turn dynamic volume buttons on or off:
- Be certain that your iPad has iPadOS 15.4 or later
- Go to Settings | Sounds
- Turn on Fixed Position Volume Controls if you would like to have the volume buttons to always have the same behavior
- Turn it off if you want the volume buttons to change dynamically depending on how your iPad is oriented
