Spotify is available for desktop and mobile, offering millions of audio tracks for streaming. The free version of Spotify is ad-supported, but it provides access to all its music tracks. While Spotify is too good for music streaming, many users have reported the app being too quiet.
Recently, many users have reported that Spotify is too quiet that they can’t hear what’s going on in the songs & podcasts. So, if you are a Spotify user facing the same problem, here’s what you can do to resolve the problem.
