Wii Remote: How to Change Volume on the Wiimote
Posted by David Kirk in Nintendo Wii
My wii’s wiiremote (wii remote) volume is way too loud. How do I decrease it?
The sound coming out of the tiny wii remote speaker can be painful. Here is how to change the volume. (I bet most people will be decreasing it.)
1. In your game, press the HOME key on your wii remote
2. Click the image of the wii remote in the lower left corner.
3. Change the volume
4. Click Close Wii Remote Settings

Thank you! It seems obvious now but we never thought to try that. It’s so great being able to watch TV in the living room without listening to clanging noises from down the hall!

Great tip – thanks. The remote volume was so loud that people on the other side of the house through two closed doors could hear it!
