Radio volume too low


Recommended Posts

I have a 2018 3500hd w/t. It has the bigger screen for radio and backup camera. I have chevy my link. It has 5,000 miles on it. About 2 weeks ago the radio doesn't get any louder after the 40 on the volume adjustment. It had a very loud radio before this, but now it continually gets louder until 40 and then stays the same volume the rest of the way to 63 and even seems to get quieter when cut all the way up. I have checked teen driver mode and it is turned off. I have also turned off auto-volume. Any help is appreciated, I can barely hear anything via bluetooth or usb and is lower than I would like on radio settings. I have searched and searched the internet and this must not be a problem for many.

Reed, if you’re like me - just past middle age, married - the old “I can’t hear squat” is just a unfortunate truth when listening to music.   Conversely can be a blessing in other ways....

 

That wasnt really helpful, I know.  Sorry.

New here but ran across this thread while trying to figure out the problem on my 2018 2500HD. I had  the exact same issues. Stopped to fuel up and noticed the volume wouldn’t increase and actually got quite past 40.

 

Racked my brain and realized the volume controls while using Apple car play and navigation via iPhone were independent of the radio volume, meaning when the navigation voice is playing the volume knob will adjust independent of the radio. 

 

So so I plugged my phone back in hit a destination waited on the voice to come up and adjusted the volume and voila! Radio is functioning as should. I think this is probably a software issue, resetting the radio didn’t help nor did disconnecting the battery. Hopefully this helps the next person having the issue.

This worked for me as well. Thank you Rush2252. I was using Waze with Apple Car Play in a 2018 Camaro

I have a 2017 Chevrolet Camaro. Out of the blue, my volume level won’t go past 40. I’ve tried EVERYTHING to get it to work. Unplugging paired devices, removing paired devices, disabling  teen driver mode, calling Chevy Customer Service, calling onstar, software updates, restore system settings, etc etc. I’m just past the 36000 bumper to bumper warranty so they want to charge me over $100 at the dealership to fix it and I don’t want to pay that. PLEASS HELP! This has been going on for over 2 weeks now... no resolution. Thank you so much ☺️
