Hi LuisG,

Thanks for reaching out. We're so sorry if you find the speaker doesn't get very loud and you're not having the best experience with this speaker. We want to make sure you are getting the most out of your speaker. To get the most out of the volume and ensure optimal performance with the speaker, please refer to the steps and guidelines below .

• The maximum sound volume for playing music depends on whether the speaker is running on power from the connected AC outlet or from the rechargeable built-in battery. This, however, does not indicate a malfunction.
To play music louder, connect the speaker to an AC outlet.
• Turn up the volume of the speaker and the connected device.
• Check that the connected device is playing.
• Charge the built-in battery sufficiently.

If the sound becomes low while in use, follow the procedure from the link below.

When the speaker is in BLUETOOTH mode
-No operation on the speaker.
-The connected BLUETOOTH device is not playing music (audio), nor is it being operated.

When the speaker is in AUDIO IN mode
-No operation on the speaker.
-No music (sound) is played on an audio device connected to the AUDIO IN jack or the music (sound) of an audio device connected to the AUDIO IN jack is too small.

-No music (sound) is played on a USB device connected to the PLAY/CHARGE port (USB1) or the music (sound) of a USB device connected to the PLAY/CHARGE port (USB1) is too small.

The good news is that you can turn on or off the Auto Standby function by using “Sony | Music Center.”
