SENSITIVITY is set to LEVEL 5, VOL 5, and I can barely hear Mom. Only 1-2 green lites when she makes any sound...? Anyone know why? Thx!

I use my VTech to monitor my 75 year old mother who's in capitated. I can hear her breath and her dog rolling around in the floor next to her bed at night. it might be your unit. Right now I can here the TV she's watching and also when she calls to help her, and when the phone rings I can here the phone which is in anther room from the monitor.

Mine do the same thing, but when my child screams I can hear. I always just keep it by me , but my house is also pretty small, and I use the lights more than the sound.

I'm not sure why but when I set the sensitivity to the highest, it picks up sounds from other rooms loudly. This is annoying to me because my dog will walk around the house at night. But when my baby cries, it fades in and out. I come to the conclusion that this is simply a real poor product. I won't even bother trouble shoot it anymore. It's a waste of effort.

Use the built in equalizer under sound settings..depending on your age...anyone above 30 will start to notice high frequency sound loss. I am in that category. if that doesn't work, try a sound bar. My sound is perfect. Check all your sound settings and notice the different selections...movie, clear speech, etc. Fiddle with those first, then move on to the equalizer.

There is a small speaker symbol on the console - every time you push it, the volume goes up. I plug in my droid and listen to the music I have downloaded. I had the volume up to 12 tonight and it was plenty loud, even turned it down a little (other speaker symbol) - Hope this helps!

I don't know, My son said his is fine. nothing wrong with the sound on his. Sorry I can't help with that. Maybe it has a defect.

its really weird that I got this question today. Up until about 3 days ago it was perfect. People could hear from quite a distance. Now in the car people cannot understand what I'm saying. Its very sensitive but it seems like you're not blocking noise. Its not blocking noise. I was thinking of calling them to find out what was up. Been real disappointed lately period last 3 4 days

The sound is really poor. One thing I have noticed is that the sound from regular DirecTV channels is much louder than the sound from HDTV channels or the one from the DVD or Blue Ray player. I have everything connected with HDMI cables. I tried also with optical cable with the same results. The volume difference appears also when I listen thru the Home theater. Does anyone know if this is normal?

Play with the audio settings. There are quite a few. Default settings sound poor (hollow,low volume) but can be adjusted to more than adequate. Cant remember orig settings, but can give you my AUDIO setup config:SRS TruSurround HD <Off>SRS TruVolume <On>Equalizer Settings <OFF> *important* Base <75>Treble <50>Make sure the EQ setting is not set to Rock, Pop or Disco (they sound like garbage). Setting it to OFF allows access to Base & Treble menu/adjustments. Overall the sound is above average for what you are paying. More than ample volume once you get the settings tweaked.

hi-- yeah, I am seeing this as well, but I was able to press the "speaker" button and the sound comes back. it's really kind of frustrating, I am trying to figure out what to do about it as well.

Sorry for the delay coz this was buried in my inbox. At any rate, that is not normal. The only time you will hear sound is when you are zooming in/out which is normal for camera with manual zoom. There shouldn't be any motorized sound or hissing whatever. I am pretty sure that camera has either a defective mic or faulty video function. HTH and hopefully not too late.

The volume should go to 20+ on the digital readout on the front of the bar. I rarely go above 17, because it is way too loud. At level 3 it should be nearly inaudible. I assume you have turned the TV speakers off. You could have a bad remote (it's a poor remote to begin with). I suggest changing the battery as soon as you get it. If not the remote, you probably have a defective unit.

We purchased it for my mother. She loves it. Does not complain about noise but to be honest she is kind of hard of hearing! However, when I have been over & it has been on, it does not seem too noisy.

Yes. I purchased the headphones for my father's Christmas gift. My mother is now able to listen at "normal" volume.

I did a quick look and couldn't find that setting but if you have Siri turned on those settings(Voice control) don't work. If you don't have her on then turn her on and it should fix you problem.

Hi MRK. Thanks for your update!As I said, I checked that it was not on mute and still nothing. I actually tried what you said yesterday, but just in case I tried it again today and still no playback sound, no shutter sound... Nothing. I can see the volume bars go up and down but I still hear (guess!): Nothing.This is not my first PowerShot. I truly love them and, even though the playback sound is not perfect, is still does give an idea of how things are going.Oh well, already contacted Amazon for an exchange.Nice to hear your luck was different! Enjoy!

Is it working at all? Set it to most sensitive and quickly look at a bright light, start adjusting from thereI set mine about quarter sensitivity and between 9-10 on darknessany problems let us know

Hi David: My unit is very quiet. To test the neutrality of sound I set the EQ sliders at 6db across the frequency spectrum. I then switched between the equalized setting and by passing the EQ entirely; compensating for volumes. I was unable to detect any difference in the sound. I cannot comment on the difference in the two units as I have only heard the older one. Good luck with your EQ hunt.Harry Harris
