I have low volume on Rp4b

I was finally able to get audio working through the 3.5 mm headphone jack and going over some custom variables now but for some reason the volume is extremely low on my RPi 4b

Hi @dir7y can you please share what sort of device you have connected to the 3.5mm audio jack? Also, is the behavior the same if you connect a different device?

Hi, I’m sending a follow up response to my message. I’ve found this thread in the forums which discusses the problem that you are currently experiencing. Also, here is a post on adjusting volume on the RPi4 that might yield some more insight into your problem.
