I have my alarm, notification, and ring tones set to one notch above 0 and the alarm still makes me jump out of bed and I jump anytime my phone rings. Does anyone else think their ONE is incredibly loud? I can't imagine setting the volume to anything over 20%.
You can make it noticeably quieter by enabling Beats.
Aside from that, yes, it is a very loud phone by default.
This is going to sound a tad odd, but I think that the lowest volume is not low enough and the highest setting can definitely be higher!
The lower end of the volume should be a tad less. Enough for you to hear it in a quiet room, but not enough to fill up the quiet room (currently the case)
The higher end should drown other devices, but at the current software # version, it only beats other devices by a slight margin...
Think Devs are on this (increasing the max, decreasing the min), but I actually don't have confirmation -- just something that seems logical..
Anyway, hopefully things work themselves out and lower gets lower while higher gets slightly louder =] (maybe add some volume points)

I have heard the original 1.28 version volume levels were substantially higher. I am on 1.29 and they were supposedly reduced on that version. I was looking for a zip somewhere that would just install the 1.28 volume files. I like my music loud and the 1.29 version is not loud enough. When I stream music in my car or to my sound system at home it has plenty of volume because of the amplifiers in those systems.
Nots not the loudness, its the fine control of the volume we'd like to see

Hi, is there a way to increase the ring volume of the HD7? My wife has her volume set to 10, and when it rings in her purse she can barely hear it. I've tried downloading the HTC app with the "increase volume when in purse" setting but this seems not to help at all. In fact, even at 10 all the sound on this phone is quite low, for example the Netflix app can only be heard in a dead quiet room. For comparison, ithe "10" setting on her HD7 seems to be about the same as "2" on my Dash 3G... All help appreciated. Thank you,

But yes, it seems the speaker is quite low. I think some people think it's a software fault, and it will be fixed in the update. I don't know personally, mine seems loud enough

You keep saying she has it set on 10 when I can set mine to 30? Maybe that's why her 10 seems like a 2 to you?
On the lock screen, up volume up. You should see the volume indicator in the top left. Crank it to 30. Should be plenty loud.
when you are talking on the phone the volume only goes up to 10. however, when you are at the homescreen you can put the volume up to 30.
"In-Call" volume controls the volume of the ear-piece speaker located in the grill at the top of the phone, and yes it will only go up to 10.
The volume which goes up to 30 which you can adjust whilst on the home screen controls the external Speaker located on the back of the phone (which is used for ringtones, etc.)
They are 2 completely seperate speakers so in turn have their own volume controls.
My Bionic's lowest volume using headphones in calls is, unfortunately, still incredibly loud. I've used the volume rocker while in call to bring it down to its lowest setting, but that's still pretty loud.
Is there any software which can affect the call volume? An alternative dialer? I'm rooted, for what it's worth. I don't want to switch to a different type of headphones, but I can't really take this volume.
Thanks!

I searched the market and there are some apps the control volume, but they do not mention the range. They are free. So you might try them. Search "Volume Control".
I know you don't want to switch headphones, but here are in "in-line" volume controllers that you can add under your earphone plug.
Good luck
Unfortunately, all of the volume control apps that I've tried (by searching volume control as you suggested( have only been able to adjust in the same 1-7 point scale as the rockers. Really, I need a volume app which allows me to select a volume between 0 (silent) and 1 (the rocker's quietest setting.
I may look into on-headphone attenuators, but that's trouble too because not all calls are so loud.
That said, thanks for the response!

maybe...hold the phone farther away from your ear?
Wilbur,
I'm already hanging the earbuds from my ears pointing away to get down to a reasonable level with some conference call services. Sadly, it's a bit more complex than that
I too have been looking for this...Ive tried about 4 or 5 apps today. None of them well allow a setting between 0 and 1.
I am using a single mono AD2P headset, and trying to get the volume of the music a little lower. I just want it to be there kind of as background music, but it is too loud.
I've just gotten off the phone with a second-level tech at Verizon who said that variable call volume will be addressed in the next Bionic software update. He also said that it's currently in beta, and will drop Mid-November. Sorry to bump my own thread, but this is the first time I've gotten anybody at Moto or VZW to admit this was even a problem.
Does anyone else notice the volume steps are a bit coarse?
I mean, on the lowest volume setting I disturb others in a quiet room..
Is there a mod for finer tuning on the volume available?
I feel like I'm the only one who thinks there should be a mod for the device especially because of the dual speakers!
Any input appreciated

I think the main problem is the volume level of the notification files are not all the same. It's annoying when you have volume at the first step, but you'll receive a text and not even hear it, but then an email would come through and it's ridiculously loud! 2013 and we still don't have files that are all the same volume levels

I ran into this nuisance as well. The external speaker volume is much too loud for my tastes, even at their lowest setting. Accordingly, I left my alarm volume at its lowest setting to match, figuring it'd be plenty loud enough. Nope! Slept right through it; didn't wake me up once.
I noticed the very low speaker volume since the first day I got it, the speaker volume is so low that I can only hear it on the maximum volume. This cannot be right. The latest upgrade (2A1.136) made the volume even lower.
Is there a software fix ?

read the forums, there is a fix in the development sections. flashable zip.
I've encountered this error too. I'm using musixmatch, in musixmatch the volume is so low. After try with Walkman app, the volume is getting louder. Back to musixmatch, the volume is fix now. I think there is a relation between Walkman and Sound. IDK. Just try, perhaps it's woks for you.

Coming from the HTC One i noticed that the audio wasn't great, but a few mods in and it's acceptable, still nowhere near as good as the HTC but definitely better.
Does anyone else think that the phone speaker is quiet when you're talking to someone? Is plenty loud on speaker phone and during a movie but the in call volume is really quiet even at the max.
I noticed this too. I was wondering if maybe I was just holding it wrong because I noticed that if I held the phone a tad lower on my ear than normal, it was louder. I might just not be used to the premium size yet.
Any idea if this is software or hardware related? I'm thinking software because the music/video volume works just fine.
I'm having the same issue as well. I can barely hear people on the phone an ng i have to use speaker phone to hear them.
It's software. You can adjust the volumes accordingly in mixer_path.xml in /etc/

I think it gets loud and I'm a musician (aka deaf to a degree). I did notice the speaker phone only uses the top speaker though. Though it's plenty loud too
Anyone else with this problem. Mine is less than normal at the highest volume. Not sure if I should replace, my x2014 is loud! Have to have decent volume at my age

Never modified the volume before, are there specific values I need to use? Also I'm guessing I need root to do this?
I actually factory reset mine/unencrypted it and the sound in call actually sounds normal. Kinda odd.
Me either! my phone speaker is so low when start calling someone even in highest volume. Any possible fix ??

I would also like to know if this is possible to fix this issue.
i'm experiencing the same behaviors on my AT&T N6 (rooted/decrypted). i'm waiting for my 64GB version from T-Mobile to see if it's my phone. it would be nice if this could be addressed via updates to the mixer_path.xml.
I have the T-Mobile 64GB (Root/Encrypted), volume low as well,
I use volume+ (pay version), still low.
32 gb Google Play version here, and I can confirm that my earpiece volume is extremely low on max.
IIRC this should be fixable via a custom kernel.
My At&t version is very low as well. I thought it would be loud considering the speakers. I hope there is a update soon.
