Adjust the VoiceOver volume and other audio options
To increase or decrease the volume, press the volume buttons on iPod touch.
To set other audio options, go to Settings > Accessibility > VoiceOver > Audio, then set options such as the following:
Sounds & Haptics: Adjust and preview sound effects and haptics.
Audio Ducking: Temporarily reduce media playback volume when VoiceOver speaks.
Send to HDMI: Route audio to externally connected devices, such as an instrument amplifier or a DJ mixer.
Set the VoiceOver language
VoiceOver uses the same language you choose for your iPod touch. VoiceOver pronunciation of some languages is affected by the Region Format you choose.
Go to Settings > General > Language & Region.
Tap iPod touch Language, then choose a language.
Adjust the speaking voice

Always Speak Notifications: VoiceOver reads notifications, including incoming text messages as they occur, even if iPod touch is locked. Unacknowledged notifications are repeated when you unlock iPod touch.
