How do you turn up the volume on the camcorder

Do you mean playback on the camcorder, or playback via a TV or PC ? If on the camcorder, there may be a menu setting for this - check the manual. If TV or PC, use the volume control on that.
Alternatively, there may be a menu setting to permit you to record at a higher volume. Be careful if you choose this, as background noise will also increase in volume.

try with some headphones, still nothing? then it's a set up issue or speaker fault.

Hi,

I'm sorry to know that the videos are playing back with low volume. I'll be glad to assist you with this. Make sure that the Camcorder is used with a fully charged battery.
Increase the volume of the Camcorder using the Volume + - buttons and check if it increase or decrease. You can also try connecting the Camcorder to the Computer or to the TV and check if the transferred videos are playing with normal volume.
There are no settings to be done in the Camcorder to increase the recording volume level.
You can also backup the files, format the memory and capture a sample video recording and check if it helps.
This should resolve the issue.

Thanks for contacting FixYa.

To adjust the speaker volume during playback, slide the speaker volume control towards + (plus - right) to turn up the volume, or towards - (minus - left) to turn the volume down.
The speaker volume control is the same as the ZOOM lever on the top of the camera.

This sounds like the camera has been put on ear-plug setting, see if you can hear with that, if nothing heard you have a sound card gone.

Try playing any other recorded disc in the Camcorder to check you're able to hear sound from it.

Next, press and hold the Reset button on the Camcorder for 30 seconds then turn it off then back ON.

Then, try playing the disc in the Camcorder.



Good luck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I hope this doesnt come across condencending as you're used to cameras, but to clarify, the monitor volume on the camera is up yes? Both the volume control and the monitor volume - both in camera?

Hi There, Try this: Connect you camcorder to your tv set via a/v input cable. Put camera in cam mode so you can see the picture on the tv. Turn up the volume on tv and if it squeels, the mic on the cam is ok. Record something and then play it back on the tv, if its ok, then all your audio is functioning. This means that the SPEAKER on your camera is defective.
Thanks, mr cicmo

The camcorder sound can be set to one of ten levels, with 0 being no sound at all.

Turn the camcorder on and let it boot up. Press the Mode button. Move the cursor to the bottom icon, the "hammer and screwdriver." Press the Menu button to select this icon. Now use the down arrow button to scroll down to "Volume." Now press the menu key to select this, and you can check/set your volume as you wish.
