Ever found yourself immersed in the world of Hyrule or racing in Mario Kart, only to realize the volume on your Nintendo Switch is a tad too loud? You’re not alone. Turning down the volume is a simple task, yet it’s a common question among gamers. Let’s break it down.

So, how exactly do you turn down the volume on your Nintendo Switch? It’s simpler than you might think, and we’re here to guide you through it.

Quick Steps to Lower Your Switch Volume

Turning down the volume on your Nintendo Switch is as easy as pressing a button. Literally. On the top left side of your Switch, right next to the game card slot, you’ll find the volume buttons. Press the lower button (marked with a minus sign) to decrease the volume. Keep pressing until you reach the desired level.

If you’re using your Switch in its docked mode and playing on a TV, you’ll need to use your TV remote to adjust the volume instead. Since the Switch doesn’t control your TV’s volume directly, look for the volume buttons on your remote and adjust as needed.
