I’ve dealt with faulty volume buttons before. They can get stuck and cause irregular volume behavior. Have you tried cleaning around them, or even resetting the phone settings?
That’s a great thought! My friend had a similar issue and it turned out to be the buttons. It’s worth checking!
Make sure you’re also testing sound with different apps. Sometimes specific apps can override system volume settings. Have you noticed this in any particular one?
Cleaning has helped me before! But if there’s no blockage, I really think a trip to a repair shop might be necessary.

If the speaker is damaged, you might hear rattling or crackling. If you notice these sounds, that could confirm a hardware issue.
I’ve had phones that behaved like this after dropping them. If you’ve had any accidents lately, that could also be the culprit.
Great point! It’s always good to listen for those signs. Sometimes hardware issues are more common than we realize.
Have you checked if a software update is pending? Sometimes issues with volume control can be fixed with newer patches!

I feel for you! Nothing worse than having your phone suddenly blasting music. Have you tried turning off ‘Media Volume’ separately from ‘Ringer’?

I’d recommend a factory reset if nothing else works. Just make sure to back everything up first!

Imagine your phone as a rebellious teenager! Sometimes they just refuse to listen, right? But seriously, hardware issues happen.
Great advice. I always forget that’s an option until it’s almost too late! Backup is key before that step.
I’m curious if your phone is older. Sometimes age can lead to these kinds of issues, especially with continuous usage over time.
Have you checked if there’s a software update available for your phone? Sometimes these volume issues are linked to bugs that get fixed in updates.
That’s a great point! If an update is installed, also try restarting your phone, as simple resets can resolve minor software glitches.
You might want to look into app settings too. Sometimes specific apps override your general volume settings, making everything louder than expected.
Exactly! I had a similar issue with my music app. It had its own volume control that conflicted with my phone’s overall settings.
It could also be a sign of a more complex issue with the operating system. If it’s a persistent problem, consider a factory reset after backing up your data.

I agree! But only do the factory reset as a last resort. You could try clearing the cache first to see if that helps.
