Dear all,
I run the stock firmware and like to listen to light music at low volume using a headset. However, the lowest volume is quite high.
Is there some way to decrease it even further without muting it?
Best,
Hindman
As a workaround when using VLC, one can use the built-in equilizer of VLC to decrease the volume.
Unfortunately, the system's equilizer does not provide such good result.
The volume on the output is actually lower than on the Xperia S I replaced with the Z3C. You might not have adjusted the correct volume setting - check Under Settings -> Sound -> Volumes -> Music, video, games & other media.
Toggling the rocker buttons on the sides actually changes the main volume control. Changing the specific media volume setting should resolve the issue for you unless you are using an external amplifier with very high gain.

I should clarify, that I'm using the noise cancelling headset.
Unfortunately, using the volume slider you mentioned does not allow to decrease the volume further.

This isn't a bug, more of a ICS/JB feature that is somewhat annoying.
I have sensitive ears, so whenever I listen to music on my phone, I keep the volume at one unit above muted. If that sounds confusing, think of it as muting the phone, then pressing the volume up button exactly once.
I noticed that at this setting, the volume is considerably louder than in CM7 at the same setting. I understand many people actually appreciate this, but in my case, it's loud enough that I end up having difficulty hearing external noises, i.e. someone calling my name from across the room, or the doorbell ringing.
Is there any sort of app or setting that I could use to fine-tune the volume even more? I would like something that is analogous to the in-line headphone volume control I use on my PC. On my PC, I use the Windows settings to put the volume at 20%, then I use the rotary slider on my headphone wire to fine-tune, adjusting up or down depending on whether I'm on skype, playing a game, watching a movie, etc, without changing the Windows volume from 20%. If there's some way to do this on Android, that'd be great.
You ought to be able to do that, using DSP manager or a media player with an equalizer, such as PowerAmp.
...
Yeah dsp manager is your best option. Easy to use as well

Forgot to check back on this thread. Thanks guys, DSP Manager's equalizer worked.
I am filled with red hot rage whenever I switch apps which use sound (music player, video player, game) and the volume is different. For example, I was listening to music on max volume with my headphones on this morning while walking to work. At work right now I'm testing apps with the volume all the way down so I don't bug my colleagues, but in one of the tests I needed sound. So I plug in my headphones, the music player kicks in and it's played at max volume. I have the music player set to autostart when I plug in headphones for other reasons, but why doesn't it take on the volume I've just set? Why does it need it' own volume setting?
Is it possible to have a module which just uses one volume setting for all apps? You lower the volume to 50% in MX player, it stays on 50% in Poweramp, Trials, Elevate or any other app.
AFAIK, this is not a standard Android behavior. Looks like your player app is trying to remember the last volume
setting it was playing with to later use it when it starts again. Try taking it up with the app developer.
If that's the case, there should at least be an option within app for such behavior.
It's been my experience that if you have the volume ALL the way down (vibrate), plugging in the headphones will turn the volume up. If you just have your volume low but not all the way down, plugging in the headphones won't change the volume. That's just anecdotal, though, so maybe I'm wrong. Is that consistent with what you're experiencing?
Is there a way to lower the volume by about 1/2 of the lowest volume setting? The ringer is quite loud (which is actually good for other reasons), but the lowest setting for the ringer is also quite loud in an office setting.
I know I could put it on vibrate, but I do like to hear it as well - just not as loud. Is there any way to reduce the volume a bit more at the lowest setting?
Thanks in advance for any tips/hints etc.
Are you rooted?
Not rooted, but could be.
Im using a combo approach with dolby atmos (dap_r6.5.zip)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/mod-dolby-atmos-t3109446
and an xposed module VolumeSteps+
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2884962
Might have to turn off the built in music fx EQ. Then I increased the volume steps to 15. I lowered the levels in dolby atmos to the volume level I like.
Just an FYI, in the stock, unrooted 3.5.4 update it allowed the lowest volume to go a bit lower (sounds about 1/2 as loud as the previous (3.5.3) low volume setting).
Happy!
When my phone is connected via Bluetooth to my car's hands-free kit, some audio could do with being made a little louder.
For example the navigation prompts from Google Maps are plenty loud enough, but some audio-book MP3s played via MD Player and phone call audio could do with being a bit louder.
I have the volume on the Note 8 and the hands-free kit on maximum.
Is there a way I can apply an audio boost when connected to that particular Bluetooth device (or have it controlled via Tasker)?
There seem to be lots of audio boost/control apps in the Playstore, but many seem to allow control of volume for a device without the ability to boost the volume above "normal".
I tried "Precise Volume (+EQ/Booster)", but the boost function didn't seem to make any difference.
If it makes any difference, I'm using Android Auto when connected to the car.
Bump - Anyone?
the only app in the play store that I have found that actually boosts the volume on this phone without being rooted is one called "volume Booster Goodev"
be careful, though, as it can really crank the volume up..
Thanks for that .... had been looking for a volume boost on the headphone out without rooting and this seems to do the job perfectly.
When I use the volume buttons on my Bluetooth headphones they change the internal volume of the headphones themselves, but they don't change the device volume. They do do that on other phones.
Am I the only one having this issue or is this a bug on all Mi A2 devices?
Haven't really taught about that one but yeah I think you're right. On stock my headphones and systems media volume are separated but on custom roms my headphones media buttons controls systems media volume. However theres a toggle in developer settings to keep systems and headphones volumes separated and I prefer it that way. On stock rom that toggle doesn't seem to have any kind of impact but I don't really care since I prefer separated volume levels.
There's no scientific evidence behind this, but I think that I get the best sound out of my headphones when I keep system volume at about 80-90% and adjust volume levels from headphones to be suitable for the environment.
