Screen touch beep volume

[mjmcg]

I noticed the other day after having my 2020 Laramie with what I believe to be uconnect 4 (can't find the info anywhere- there is no "about" or "version" section on any menus anywhere) detailed that the touch screen beeps are barely audible. Now I don't care if they're on or off, I know where that setting is, but what I can't figure out is why the sound is so low they may as well be off. The radio volume works fine, it's just when I select something on the screen the beep is barely audible. I've tried a soft reset and that did nothing.
Ideas?

And where did the vin based uconnect software feature on their website go? All I find is some thing that tells me to connect to Wi-Fi. The truck doesn't have Wi-Fi.

Anyone?

I have the opposite problem. I wish I could COMPLETELY silence the radio button pushes. I'm one of the lucky people with a 2018 1500 that has a beautiful de-laminating screen, which produces a crapload of phantom pushes. The noise drive me crazy if I don't have some other noise to cover it up with.

I shut up the beeping noise before leaving the dealership parking lot on day one.

Sorry but it's an "OFF" for me too

Did you play with the setting at all? That beeping was the first thing I shut off when I brought the truck home from the dealer

Same for my cell phone and cordless phones at home. The unnecessary noise helps to deplete small batteries, and I know when I tap the buttons.

I don't need the extra sound pollution.

Trust me guys, I get it. I'm usually a noise eliminator myself and normally I'd have these beeps shut off as well. But, since I had them on and now notice that they are very low, I'm more worried in the immediate sense with figuring out how / why than I am shutting them off. That I can do, but they're is the control for how loud they are?

go in the settings and check to see if there is a volume control for the beep. Is it possible you or someone else inadvertently changed something in the settings?

Isn't this issue you're experiencing with a Uconnect radio?

Mine has a couple of irregularities, and as far as I know, this isn't unusual.
Almost daily, it switches my favourite gas station to another station about 45 minutes away and in another country.
Sometimes it corrects itself; other times it requires 1 to 3 reprogramming sessions.

Intermittently, the key-off power options reset from 10 minutes to zero minutes.
This change usually happens 1-4 times in a row after each ignition cycle, and then not again for weeks or months.

I believe the Uconnect is a buggy POS device that often suffers from bizarre issues.

Good luck finding any solution besides an aftermarket replacement.
Please update this thread if you find a fix.

I don't remember if the uconnect 4 is like uconnect 5 for this, but they are both android based and the function has existed in android for years.

When you change the volume, does a bar show up showing the volume change? If yes, then it should have a little "down arrow" or three dots on the end of the bar. Select that and you'll see a bunch of volume settings. One or more of those will be turned way down.
