Apple Carplay music volume a lot softer after last IOS update

I have an Iphone 14. I use Carplay through wired usb. I have a decent sound system in my car and can usually not play the volume louder than level 30 on my headunit. After the last update I can turn the headunit to full volume and it is still not as loud as it was at level 30 before IOS update.

I have tried different fixes I found on internet, but nothing seems to fix the sound issue.

I checked that the headunit is not faulty by swapping from carplay to normal radio station and even the radio stations play louder.

Have any got any tricks or tips or something I can look at.

I tried the following from another discussion and it worked for me.

Go to Settings >Music >Turn off Sound Check.

Ok so I am not going mad. I have almost ripped my whole sound system out to try figure out if it isn't something else. Thank you for trying to help. Hopefully someone picks up on this

That’s perfect. Thank you for the reply. I managed to figure it out and never added it to the chat. That’s was exactly the problem.

Also adding I’m having the same problem. What used to be volume 20 is now volume 30 for an equivalent loudness.

This is the exact same issue I have been having, in my car with an upgraded sound system and on my headphones. It’s very noticeable on my apple gen 2 AirPods while at the gym. I can’t get it loud enough to drown out the gym noise/ music in the background; which has not been an issue prior to update. This all happened the morning after my recent overnight update. I realize this post is of zero help, but I am hoping to draw more attention to this as I can’t find info on this matter anywhere else. Thanks for posting this!

Same! 20 in my car via Apple CarPlay was pretty much my max, now it’s 30. And my headphones still won’t go as loud. At a loss and really disappointed. I would hate to have to get a droid or another brand but if this is the new norm, im out. I’m in my 40’s and go to concerts, so my hearing isn’t the best I need that loud volume lol
