Why does the product seem to reduce the volume randomly? Has there been any improvement?

Continued to reduce volume randomly the entire 7 months I used. Probably a "kink" that manufacturer needs to work out.

We run ours on ocean and the only reduction of volume is the ebb and flow of the waves. We don't use the other settings so I don't know about them.

I wonder if people are not using it correctly. The "Sleep therapy" mode is meant to change to white noise after time. You can put it on the sound mode without it turning to white noise if that is what you prefer. Read the directions people! I have not had any issues with the volume randomly reducing and really almost didn't buy this given the bad reviews. I love this machine and so does my husband. Try it before you decide it needs improvements!!!!

We have made multiple attempts to contact the company directly (with no avail) regarding both questions. The volume on the machine just does randomly seem to almost turn itself off (so low, it might as well be). We experienced the exact same defect on several different units via exchanges to the company, although a select few customers seem to report no problem at all. As to improvements, we have noticed the product appearing and disappearing from various retailer sites...hopefully, it has been an effort to pull the item and find a solution. However, based on other reviews we've seen: No improvements have been made. Currently we are using the one-level-down model from this company and we do like it. It has far less features (fewer sounds/ tones, no clock) than the Version II, but as it actually works and we don't get startled awake all through the night with sound cutting out, it is the only one we would recommend at this time. Homedics could also stand to work on their customer service while they are at fixing the second model.

I might be getting noise from having your settings too high. Try turning everything down all the way except the volume and see if it goes away

I did not get that but it does require the user to set max volume in order to start working. Either that or its been a coincidence on several occasions. Don't buy if you haven't yet and save yourself a lot of grief.

Maybe try turning the volume up, besides that it's probably broken, I habnt had any problems tho, just lots of good times

Not sure what the problem could be. I've not experienced this with mine. There are six (6) buttons on the top of the item. The first two control the volume; one is plus and one is minus.

I've had that problem myself but it seems sporadic. It can be frustrating . It almost seems it has a warm up period. After I play music for a while , it seems to stop doing this. I'm not the only one saying this . Some of the people who gave reviews on Amazon have this same problem . So it seems not to be a defect. If it is , there are quite a few defective speakers out there.

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.

I think you might have to press and hold onto the + volume button until you notice a change in volume. Simply pressing it continuously does not seem to work well, but keeping constant pressure on it until you reach the desired volume seems to do the trick.

I have not experienced any problem as described with my speakers. Sorry I can't be of more help.

I get some sound drops. Have not figured out why this is but it occurs too frequently for my liking. Any drops at all is too frequent I suppose.

No I haven't experienced this, it may depend on the ring tone but I've never had a problem with my speakers or ringer being muffled

I haven't noticed any difference in volume. iPhone or Galx.s4 seem to opr. the same. BTW, I have had about a dozen ofthese and this is about the best so far

I have no idea as to why. I have never experienced that problem. The only issue I ever had was when the volume level of the sub-woofer was turned up to loud and I didn't realize it, LOL. Did you contact LG and see if they had a solution?

You might have to adjust the volume. Otherwise I have had no problems with it.

Haven't had that problem with mine, in fact the low setting is too loud and I put my finger near the speaker to tone it down when I am running. Steves119 echoes my suggestion.

I have never heard of this problem. Have you accidentally changed the volume settings for an individual source? If you have verified it's not a setting issue, I'd suggest contacting Alpine. Their tech support is very good.

The volume on mine has been fine! I would think anything would be hard to hear if you have the window down!
