Sorry for this maybe short and confusing posts, I don't have any idevice handy to copy paste the fb# here.
But basically I've been having volume control bugs with voiceover on my watch, iphone and mac on the latest betas, and for the mac on the stable as well.
On the watch and iphone, the granularity has been zoomed 5x or 10x, we apparently have more fine control. Too much fine control. On my watch se2 for example to go from 0 to 100% volume with the double tap then swipe up/down gesture, before I could easily do it in one shot, now I need about two or three from botom to top.
On iphone, the volume rotor control has also about the same issue where it's no longer a 5% increment or decrement but weird percentage ish and it's also became just slower.
On the mac ever since the dev beta cycle of sequoia until the stable of 15.0 and the latest beta of 15.1, somewhere in the release cycle the trackpad gesture cmd rotor left rotor right for volume just broke and I can only go from 100% to 95% for example and not further, or 75-70%... without really knowing if it actually changed the volume as the difference is so small.
I am just confused about how different mechanisms on different os to control volume with voiceover suddenly stopped working more or less around the same time. Are you also experiencing this?

Thoughts from a Hearing Aid User
I don't own an Apple watch or an iPad, but I do own the other 2 devices you speak of here and I recently became a hearing aid user. What I think is happening is that Apple is trying to make changes across the board to accommodate those of us who use hearing aids. I realize this is a bit daunting, and I myself haven't yet wrapped my head around it all. However, I have begun exploring these changes and am pretty impressed thus far. I'm also impressed with my hearing aids, but I believe I wrote about that elsewhere on the website and in at least one of my journals.
I was also a hearing aid…
I was also a hearing aid user awhile ago and I admit that it makes perfectly sense. Then only the voiceover volume command with the mac is the real bug. I remember myself wishing to have a more granular volume control back then :) just wished better documentation / explaination ffrom them.
