Many users have reported that Spotify is too quiet; they can’t hear what’s going on in the songs & podcasts. So, if you are a Spotify user facing the same problem, here’s what you can do to resolve the problem.
1. Make Sure the Device Volume is Set to Maximum
Before making changes to Spotify’s playback settings, it’s worth checking something simple – your device’s volume. I’ve lost count of how many times I thought an app was acting up, only to realize the volume was turned down.
If you’re on a Windows PC, click the volume icon in the system tray and slide it to the max. On a smartphone, press the volume button and make sure the slider is all the way up. Sometimes, the easiest fix is also the most overlooked one.
2. Adjust the Volume Control of Spotify (Desktop)
The desktop app Spotify follows a different sound profile; it has a volume control that can be used to adjust the volume level of the app. Spotify desktop app doesn’t follow your computer’s volume settings; hence, it’s important to adjust the volume settings within the Spotify app.
Open the Spotify desktop app and then play any song. When the song starts to play, slide the volume control to the right to make the music louder.
3. Set Spotify Volume Level to Loud
If you are a regular Spotify user, you may know that the app comes with several audio settings. Almost all settings are meant to improve your music listening experience, but there’s a specific option to make the audio loud on the desktop & mobile app.
