Me & my boyfriend got our ATPro's on the same day, about mid-June this year, and mine started acting up. He uses his headphones a lot, I never do, so that might be the reason for it. The speaker on mine is now too quiet to hear. I've researched and found some similar problems on other forums that I'm not a member on but nothing here. We always hunt the same areas & times. It got quiet once, then was fine a day later, now it is quite permanent. We changed batteries, reset to factory, unplugged and replugged in the coil, nothing helps. It's still loud in the headphones, but those majorly hurt my ears, they don't seem made for ladies, and I really wish there was a standard headphone jack on it, but that's another issue :P So, I have to mail mine away, and see if it can be fixed. My bf and his ATP are very sad about this since we can't all get together now for however long it will take to fix 
Any idea how long Garrett takes to send stuff back? We did dis-assembly on it ourselves until we got to seeing the plastic sealed area over the speaker, and when we turned it on, while holding that clear plastic, the sound was dulled even more, until you take your finger off, then it's louder, but still not as loud as it used to be. I read one post saying something like that the thing gets turned in, but it seemed to me to be originally concave or curved inward or whatever, and the cover over it seems like it would prevent it from being pressed inward... anyway, there was no clear way to 'fix' that area, so we left it alone. Since bf uses the headphones on the same exact machine which goes the same places even, and I don't beat on mine or anything, I wonder if this is just a faulty design, and his would suffer it soon too... wondering how many other AT Pro's have speaker volume problems? & what did you do to fix it?
