Volume all the way up and can barely hear it

[Yvhvhvtke]

I’ve got my volume all the way up on my tablet, but its still hard to hear music or movies. I have to be a few inches from it to even hear it. Its getting really annoying.  I’m up to date on updates.

I understand that you are unable to hear the sound.

Do not worry. I will try to fix the issue.

When was it working before?

Have you tried resetting?

Please follow the below steps to reset:

I have sound. It’s just very quiet even with it turned up all the way. It was reset in the past year and it’s been like this the whole time. I got it from my mom to watch Netflix on. The sound is the same whether it’s Netflix, YouTube, Facebook, or an app for a tv station. I know the speakers can go louder. Some commercials are louder. I just wish it’d all be that loud, or louder.

Thank you for posting back. 

To get the answer to this question, its because of the limitation of product hardware. However, I would suggest try using an external speaker in order to enhance sound quality and loudness. 

Hope this helps! Keep me posted for further assistance.
