Several factors cause this issue. Below we presented the detailed causes and solutions of each factor. Let’s start:

1. Faulty Digital Volume Control Circuits

The digital volume control circuit’s malfunction is one of the main causes of your Roku TV volume being too loud on the lowest setting.

To check whether it is the culprit or not, check your TV’s volume. If the volume continuously increases at the TV’s maximum setting, it means your TV’s digital volume control circuit works properly. 

But if setting the volume at the highest doesn’t increase its level, it means the volume control circuits are bad. The causes behind it are:  

  • Faulty encoder 
  • Leaked, broken, or damaged circuits 
  • The circuit’s digital sources fail to function properly 

Solution:

If you find the digital volume control circuit is the culprit, you should replace it. Follow the other solutions also: 

  • Replace the bad encoder and broken, leaked, or damaged circuit 
  • Ensure the circuit’s digital source is functioning properly 

2. TV’s Internal Wiring Issue

TV’s internal wiring controls the maximum and minimum volumes. The internal wiring malfunction with your TV is another reason why your TV volume is suddenly loud. The factors that lead to this are: 

  • Internal wiring stops working or does not function properly 
  • Damaged wiring 
  • Loose wiring connection or the wires are not properly connected to each end 
  • Internal wiring is not powering the TV speakers
  • Overloading electrical outlet 
  • Using multiple extension cords for the TV

Solution:

Add two resistor circuits to modify the internal wiring of your TV, and the modified wiring will feed the TV’s speakers. Also, the modified wiring will lower the maximum and minimum volumes. The other ways to solve these above troubles are: 

  • Replace the damaged wiring and make sure the wiring is functioning properly 
  • Tighten the loose wiring connection 
  • Make sure your TV’s internal wiring is properly connected to each end 
  • Ensure your TV speakers are getting enough power from the internal wiring 
  • Don’t use too many appliances together with your TV in the same outlet to avoid overloading 
  • Avoid using multiple extension cords in your TV

3. Defective Cable Box

Your TV’s connected cable box has control over your TV’s sound also. If the cable box’s sound is high due to its malfunction, it will also affect your TV’s sound, and for this reason, your TV is too loud on volume 1 RCA. However, the concerning causes of it are: 

  • Cable box and TV’s loose and insecure cable connection 
  • The HDMI cables are not properly connected to the ports 
  • The cable was plugged into the incorrect port 
  • Defective receiver 
  • Weak signal or signal interference between the TV and cable box 

Solution:

For solving all these troubles mentioned above, follow the fixing ways below: 

  • Ensure a secure and tightened cable connection between the TV and the cable box 
  • Make sure the HDMI cables are properly connected to the ports 
  • Plugged the cable into the correct port 
  • Replace or repair the bad receiver 
  • Ensure the TV and cable box’s signal is not weak and there is no signal interference 

4. Automatic Volume Level Turned On

Turning on the Automatic Volume Level is another main reason why your TV volume is too loud on the lowest setting. This TV function makes loud sounds quiet and quiet sounds loud. 

However, this function often results in an odd combination of TV sounds such that your TV will produce too loud for loud and too quiet for quiet. 

Solution:

Go to your TV’s settings and check out this “Automatic Volume Level” setting. If it is In position, turn it off. After turning it off, perform a “Factory Reset” on your TV using the remote. Follow the steps below to do so: 

  • Press on your TV remote’s “Menu” option and select it 
  • Then select Support < Self Diagnosis < Reset 
  • Enter the reset Pin (The reset pin varies depending on your TV’s brand and model)
  • Select Yes, and your TV’s factory reset is complete 

5. Remote’s Faulty Volume Button

The bad (+) volume button on your TV remote is a culprit for which your Tcl TV volume is too loud on the lowest setting. The (+) volume malfunction tends to increase the volume even at its lowest setting. 

Sometimes your TV’s volume can get stuck at high, even in the lower setting. To check whether the volume button is creating a problem or not, do the following:  

  • Turn off your TV
  • Then press the (-) volume button and turn it on by holding that button 
  • If the volume doesn’t increase automatically, it means the volume button is faulty 
  • On the contrary, an automatic increase in your TV’s volume indicates the problem is somewhere else  

The causes of this trouble are: 

  • The volume (+) button gets stuck 
  • Old or damaged batteries in remote 
  • The broken button fails to send the volume control signal properly 

Solution:

If you experience your Insignia TV volume being loud on 1 due to the above causes, follow the easy solutions below to fix these: 

  • Make sure your TV remote’s volume button is not stuck at the (+) button only 
  • Take out the old or damaged batteries and replace them with the new batteries 
  • Replace the remote with a broken button and ensure the TV is receiving the volume control signal properly
