Hey guys, I'm having this bug with Safe Headset Volume Warning.
Now I'm on Titan Prime Rom on Lollipop 5.0.2.
Each time I do a clean install, the first time I use a music player with my headphones (playing music on N7Player) I get the Safe Headset Warning. It asks me if I want to override the Safe Headset Setting. I press cancel, and it's gone forever. You can't make it appear anymore. It doesn't even work, because the headphones go up to the maximum volume.
I need the Safe Headset Volume warning because it's very important to me. I have tinnitus and it's essential so I can't screw my ears more than they are now.
I searched and searched didn't see anywhere on the net something related to this bug in Lollipop.
I tried making it appear with KK GravityBox, but unsurprisingly won't work
Can anyone help me with this?
The Safe Headset is just a warning that appears when you try to get above 80% volume while wearing a headset. It does not do anything else. So you can just drop the volume to 80% or less if you have problems and you will be ok.

In kitkat, when you had the phone asleep (screen off) you couldn't maximize the volume past the tolerable limit even if using the volume buttons.
Now I can use them to maximize the volume even while screen is off or on, and I get to the max of the possible output. I don't know what it's the problem but in past iterations of Android this wouldn't occur.
*BUMP*
Finally someone with the same problem. On Kitkat the warning was my safe to go headphone volume. Even when I disabled it, the next day it came back and everything was fine.
After updating to 5.0 it came up but disappeard after another vol+ click.
Please let there be a fix to get it back and don't allow to disable it with screen off!!

Oh, I was starting to think I was the only one with this problem.
Weird thing is I don't see this bug anywhere posted in the net.
What ROM are you using?
I'll link this thread to the official Titan Prime ROM too.
Same problem, i'm on stock btw. It gave the warning, i pressed vol+ again and it was gone forever. Like WTF? Why need a warning when you can just press vol+ and it's gone. I really need it back
I installed Gravity Box for Lollipop and checked Safe Headset Volume but it still doesn't work. Can you try it yourself?

I don't know if it works on Lollipop as well, but you can try using Viper4Android (advanced audio tweaking app), and reduce output gain. I know this is not a fix, but it's the best I can come up with.

Hi,
a few days ago the volume randomly became UBER low. Soo I thought of it as a problem in the firmware (darky's r4). That rom was kinda rubbish; so instead; I flashed dlev 5.0. Awesome rom by the way. And then, over night, when I woke up again; the volume became really low again.
I have no idea how to fix this, rebooting doesnt seem to help.
Anyone have any ideas?
Assuming you're on a kernel that supports the voodoo sound, you might want to try the voodoo control app (I believe it's in the Market). Once you have it installed, you can put a shortcut on your desktop to the headphone amp widget, and that will let you pull the volume up again.
Not a permanent solution, I admit, but probably quicker than digging down several menu levels.

I plugged in my headphones; and everything is fine.
So it seems like the problem is just with the loudspeaker.
I can't even hear when someone calls
You said you installed a new rom - by any chance, did you restore apps with Tibu? If so, did you restore any system data?
I only ask because if you had restored some system data, it might have restored a bad audio setting that is affecting the external speaker when the headphones aren't plugged in.
I know that as part of the Voodoo sound control, you can tell it to drop the volume level if there is a change in whether the headphones are plugged in or not (as an ear saver or to prevent blaring sound when the headphones become accidentally unplugged).
If you didn't do any restoring, I would just double-check the volume level that is set in the audio menu. If it's all the way up, and you're still having sound issues, then I think that a faulty speaker (like you suggested) is probably the case.

I had this problem starting on darky's rom. Didn't use tibu or any sort of backup software; installed everything fresh and new.
Checked audio levels; and everything is on max.
Where in voodoo do I tell it it lower volume when headphones are plugged in?
Thanks
Er.... the loudspeaker just randomly started working fine again.....
I bet it will become weird in a few minutes though :S

In the voodoo control app, if you have the "map volume keys hack" activated, two settings below that is "jack plug-in safety".
Every kernel supports voodoo sound!

Haw Haw Haw... I gave my phone a good spanking. Seems like something is loose near the back key/search key. A few good hits and the speaker works again.
Ha!

Nothing like a good dose of non-passive hardware reconstruction to get things working again.
Believe it or not this is actually abbery common problem with this phone. The speaker will stop...then you press firmly on the speaker then it starts again...

Hi folks,
I'm running Beanstalk 4.4.2, with
- PA's GApps 20131215-signed
- Firmware 3.05.651.5
- S-OFF,
and I'm experiencing sudden volume jumps up. It's reproducible. If I MAKE a call, then hang up, everything gets really loud: notifications, music/media, incoming ringtones, button presses. Even when I turn volume to one click above vibrate(silent), all sounds are really loud.
Rebooting fixes the problem, until the next time I make a call.
I've tried the new KitKat dialer apk with local search, but this doesn't fix the problem. I've tried freezing DSP Manager, but this doesn't do anything either.
Anyone else having similar problems, or know of a fix? Thanks!
Edit: also occurs with last CM build. Must be common for 4.4.2?

Feel better... You're not alone I too have the same issue on cm11 nightlies but only some of the most recent nightlies...I'm sure the cause is getting merged along the way. Its only a matter of time before its sorted.
Lol...I was falling asleep and got a text and it was on max vol...I double checked...turned it down to the lowest again and booom! Another text! Max again...thought it was just me being used to a quiet room or something or that my ring vol was not linked to notification vol but they were
Cheers
Thanks for making me feel like I wasn't crazy! It is pretty impressive how loud the phone is able to get. Hope there's a fix soon!
Few more notes to see if it helps anyone get to the bottom of this:
DSP manager works ok with fresh boot. Crank volume up, custom EQ works.
Make a call, volume spikes up, and then I have to turn volume down to one below vibrate. DSP custom EQ seems to still work: if I crank different frequencies up, you can hear a difference, but the thing is it doesn't sound the same as with fresh boot/DSP settings.
Eg: crank the 250hz range up, get nice bass from speakers with fresh boot. Make call, have to turn volume down, but the bass is gone and I can't get it to sound the same fiddling with the EQ.
I can't think of why this is the case. Anyway, don't mean to be annoying, just trying to see if anyone can piece this random info together.
Hi,
I have noticed that my motorola X has now a low sound (for everthing .. notification and calls) Rang this afternoon and i did not even hear it

i have not had any issue like this but could you of possibly damaged the speaker some how and that could be why everything is so low.
what rom are you running or are you on stock rooted.
I am stock rooted
after 5-6 reboot sound is back
motox is only 2 months old and barely used
I will see if it comes back and will call motorola if that comes back

I had a similar experience with the Touchless Controls voice. My phone would have normal volumes, but I could never hear what it said back to me. I contacted Moto Support, and they said this is a known issue, and they are looking for a solution. Until then, the support lady said to use the volume rocker to turn the volume down a few times, then turn it back up. I did this, and the readout voice for the Touchless Controls was back to normal volume.
You can try this... but YMMV.

I've had similiar experiences when I was playing music, then the touchless controls would interrupt to read a message. When it was done, the music would come back on, but much quieter than before. It would usually go back to normal volume on the next song or by switching music apps.
When I first got my phone music and youtube videos were really loud with the built in speakers. So much so that I had to turn the volume down a little bit for comfort. Now when I make sound it starts out very loud but quickly softens drastically. Like something is trying to auto normalize the sound to a much lower volume.
What bugs me is it used to work great. I'm on the same firmware version and such that I was on before.
Is anyone else having volume issues with their built in speakers?

I'm experiencing this too. I feel like it was designed this way. But I want to see some documentation.
Maybe you're just adjusting to the volume?? Kind of like when a fast car doesn't feel fast anymore.
Are you on a custom rom?
I'm on Stock ROM.
I know it isn't me just getting used to it. When I play some music it is really loud and vibrates my phone noticeably. After about 1 or 2 seconds though it quiets and my phone stops vibrating as much and I have a hard time discerning voices in the sound.
If I pause the video for a few seconds and start again the same thing happens. really loud then quieting.
If I turn down the video all the way then turn it up all the way fast the same things happens. I can feel the vibrations of the sound then they lessen and quiet down.
Interesting. I tried it this morning after a fresh charge and it works great now. I wonder if previously I was always testing at night when my battery was low. Perhaps this is some kind of built in battery savings scheme? When I was experiencing the issue I verified that Battery Savings mode was turned off. But perhaps this is something that auto happens when the battery is low?
I'll have to try again tonight.
I'm starting to have the same issue. Posting here for any updates, and I'll update as well if I figure out what's going on.
Me to guys....I thought I was going nuts today... Every roms got quiet audio and I'm just like wtf...so I flash stock images and STILL its quiet...I'm just wondering if its some kinda power save feature.
i've been looking through the mixer_paths.xml file to see if i can find headphones and speaker values to increase to increase volume and this mixer_paths file is different than what i'm used to with samsung and LG phones. i'm probably missing some values to see because i normally use 920 text editor but that app currently isnt working with android 5.0. has anyone found the values to change the increase volume?
I have the same issue. If i reboot the phone everything sounds great then shortly after the volume drops and its difficult to hear things. This happens evem during calls while using speaker phone. I've looked in all the settings and can not find anything to do with this. Any help would be much appreciated.
Thank goodness I'm not the only one! I have this exact issue as well.
So this actually worked on my N6 maybe it will work for yours. After a reboot problem remains. I applied small pressure evenly to the speakers with my fingers and bam problem gone. I seriously hope we don't have bad hardware. Hope this helps you guys as well.

Add me to the list thought I was going crazy too
I'm pretty sure it's a software issue. On mine, the volume does the normalization thing, but if I switch orientations it goes back to full volume before dying down again. Hopefully it gets fixed soon.
Same issue here. Thought I was loosing my mind. The volume goes down tremendously after starting music via the speakerphone after about 1 or 2 seconds. I have completely reset my phone and toggled the power saving setting and I'm still having this issue. Getting very annoyed.
Same issue here. My battery was down to 4% and the volume started getting lower some times.
Also it seemed like turning the device (display rotation?, gyro sensor?) had to do with it.
I also hear some noise (crackling) when the phone is at full volume and it's not playing music.

Same here with the normalize issue...tempted to send my nexus 6 back to motorola but it was so hard to get this phone
Cant believe google has yet to address this... I hope its a software fix coming.. I cant even really judge the audio bc i cant play anything at max volume smfh

I think it's a software issue. Whenever I notice the phone's volume is lower than it should be, I press volume up and down repeatedly then it goes back to normal. Gets annoying though.
Anyone found a solution for this or it just is what it is? Also notice the volume increases when I rotate the landscape view..then normalizes lower after a few seconds...
I've hard reset....flashed a fresh copy of 5.0.1 still no solution? Could this be a hardware issue?

Anyone having an issue with the Bluetooth volume going up and down when playing on a Bluetooth device? My volume goes up and down by itself? Not huge increasing but enough to become annoying.
Anyone else?

Mine seems to drop to where the red starts, like the warning for turning it up pops up and I am able to turn it past that but then it goes back down... It is still plenty loud enough but yeah I have noticed it tool, as far as it going back up and down on its own I have not seen that.
Same here! Got my Note5 32gb Black on release day 21st Aug. Day 2, I noticed the volume going up/down while streaming Bluetooth from my car. I did a couple of factory resets due to unrelated stuff. Since then I haven't notice the volume going up/down while streaming Bluetooth.

Thanks Ill try that
Its damn annoying lol
My note 5 - 32 GB is doing that on Bluetooth in the car, on my Bluetooth speaker and on the wired earphones. Very annoying. I am about to take it back as it seems like the volume is on a yo-yo. Any fixes other than the multiple factory resets as that seems like a major pain since I spent so long setting up all my apps and preferences.
I may have fixed this issue. I had the same problem both before and after I enabled SoundAlive+ and volume normalization.
I went to settings/sounds and notifications/sound quality and effects.
Clicked Adapt Sound, and went through the setup process. This seemed to cure the problem.
SoundAlive+ is turned off at this time. Not sure if I turned it off or the system did. Either way, I'm not turning it back on for fear the issue will return.
Hope this helps.
