This is what I do when I go around my apartment cleaning. I listen to music while doing dishes the old fashion way. I don't have a dishwasher. I am the dishwasher. 
I keep the main volume under halfway and in the app half way. The volume in the app moves the Media volume I mention earlier. Other wise those notification sounds would be loud. When playing Angry birds I have to turn the sound way down it's too loud!
The only time I can't hear on the Fire is those movies Amazon offers. I have to use headphone and then It's like I can hear every sound in the movies which kind of creeps me out.
If you need a higher sound buy some MP3 external Speakers to use. They come with a volume control as well. I own some but I find the Fire doesn't need it. |
When I checked it out in the store it was actually pretty quiet in the store. Nobody around and I had my ear right next to the speakers. I think we are probably talking about 2 different things. I was testing as the OP suggested. When in the home screen going to settings and moving the volume control. You will hear a tone when you stop scrolling. This is what is soft unless you scroll 3/4 of the way to high.
On the actual games yes the volume is louder. I have to turn it down. Know what you mean about Angry Birds. That music keeps playing in my head.
I agree on the Amazon Movies. I've streamed them to my TV and the volume from Amazon's movies is lower than that of Netflix's movies.
I do have some external speakers that I've used. Am thinking of getting a more compact one. More portable.
BTW: Tell hubby you NEED a dishwasher.
