Manually reboot your iPhone to reset the volume.

Sometimes the iPhone's volume can be stuck on low or high for no apparent reason. At other times, even if the volume is turned on full volume, the sound is coming out lower than you know the iPhone is capable of. When either of these happens, you can easily reset the iPhone's volume by turning the phone off and then back on. When the phone reboots, the iPhone will reset to its normal volume settings. The whole process takes less than three minutes.
