You can use turboccc's TTSVoiceEditor utility. It allows you to edit and change the Garmin VPM voice file. I also have a 660 and purchased an 885T and was also disappointed with the weak volume. The utility allowed me to increase the 885T to almost as loud as the 660. A side benefit of this utility is the ability to change the default announcements like "recalculating" to a saying of your choice. Mine now says "we're making this up as we go", which drew some giggles from passengers. http://turboccc.wikispaces.com/Downloads

The round button on the base up on the right hand side adjusts the volume. Press the plus for increased volume, the minus for less volume

If it is properly synced with your phone, then you can increase the bluetooth volume on your phone as well as use the volume control on the speaker itself. To increase/deacrease the volume on the speaker itself, just push and hold the skip forward/reverse button. I hope that helps.

You could turn the volume way up if needed. I play mine at a low to medium volume so I think you would be just fine. Hope this may help you out. LRE

I got much better volume by adjusting the equalizer. Go to a video on utube called boost laptop volume. I tried this with my laptop, and it really worked.

Check your settings to see what your "increased" volume is set to (you'll have to read the manual to find out where to set it). If you already have the volume set to be loud for lower speeds but your "increased" volume is set to a lower level (mine came set at "1", which is the lowest level) it will change to that lower level at a higher speed. Hope this helps.

While the speaker is on with music playing, press and hold the >> button and you will hear the volume increase. To lower the volume, press and hold the << button.

In my experience the volume was not very high either. I have a Samsung and the difference was amazing. If your TV is connected to a cable box try turning the tv volume all the way down and the turn the cable box volume all the way up. After that you should be able to get higher tv volume

Yes, I set the volume knob half way on the powered speaker, then I can safely turn the volume up or down on my computer 8.1

There is not a way to increase the volume with this device. Only by increasing the volume of your phone and the device its connected to can you increase the volume. But I have never encountered his issue before. What device are you connecting it to.

Make sure red and white connectors are inserted into color matched audio out ports. Turn speakers on at base unit and make sure volume is turned up. Use + switch on base unit to increase sound level. Hope this helps!

Yes you can increase the volume and it also alerts you when you are midway of the work interval ( pre-set by you). These allows you the option of switching sides or during the interval workout. However, I'm not aware of being able to select nor change the default sound options. Nonetheless, if you are getting down and burning those fat cells, that's enough music to.my ears and gladness in my heart. Enjoy, have fun and be well.

Hello there! No, you can't adjust volume! Hopefully this helps you to make a decision to make your purchase.

Hello, turning up the volume knob (the one on the right) powers up my device. Good luck!

Sure. The round button at the top of the front with the + turns the volume up, and the round button at the bottom of the front with the - on it turns it down. Just keep pressing either button to adjust in increments until you reach your desired volume.

Not that I have noticed. We are usually listening at less than half source volume so an adjustment to increase volume can be made. My daughters are typically the ones using the splitter function on a laptop and adjust it to their own preference. I used the splitter to control headphone volume on a bedroom TV audio out since that audio out could not be controlled through the TV.
