Changing volume steps - OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers

Hi,
Can anyone help?
Im using a variant of stock, and would like to change the volume steps to fit with the steps in MacroDroid (30 steps).
I known you can do it on AOSP ROMs, but was wondering if there was a file I could edit manually if no app is available?
Thanks!

And if there was a way to set min volume to anything < 14% that'd be great too

This was easy to achieve back in the Exposed days, but not anymore. Maybe there's a Magisk module to achieve this, haven't tried Magisk on LOS so can't tell.

In case you have root, add the following line to your build.prop with build prop editor from the play store:
ro.config.media_vol_steps=30
Edit; And reboot

Also looking for this but tried this setting and there seems to be no difference?
Edit: I am trying to change the ringtone volume, perhaps that's a different setting than media_vol?

I Agree the ring and notification volume need more steps, the lowest it too loud. Or add increasing volume for both at least.

[Q] Changing Volume Levels

Hi everyone, I'll try to explain myself the best I can.
I'm trying to change the media volume levels from my Z1, we know that has 15 volume levels so we could distribute them like this (approx.):
Level 15=100% Volume
14=93%
13=86%
12=80%
11=72%
10=66%
9=60%
8=53%
7=46%
6=40%
5=33%
4=26%
3=19%
2=13%
1=6.6%
0=0%
I would like to change the percentages for each level and set them like this:
Level 15=100% Volume
14=95%
13=90%
12=85%
11=80%
10=70%
9=75%
8=70%
7=65%
6=60%
5=50%
4=40%
3=30%
2=20%
1=10%
0=0%
Has anyone tried or know how to do or change it?
Let me clarify, I don't need to have 30 volume levels, only need to change the stock 15 levels with different percentages.
Thanks !
Anyone ? Or is there any tutorial
Well, there have to be a xposed built out there. Or you can find the right place in system and edit.
Just ask it to a pro who knows about system.

Is There Any Way To Get More Volume Steps

To be clear........ I'm not asking about getting louder volume but rather more volume steps. 15 steps for multimedia volume just isn't enough. I don't want to go down the custom rom route. The only way I can see to get more volume steps at the moment is to downgrade to MM and use Xposed with Gravitybox or something similar.
Is there any way to get more volume steps on Nougat? It would be really nice if Oneplus could implement this into the stock rom as they have with several other "custom rom" types of features.

Looking at AudioService in AOSP repository for Android 7.0 I can see:
https://android.googlesource.com/pl...om/android/server/audio/AudioService.java#624
which means if you are rooted you should be able to edit build.prop to insert config line ro.config.media_vol_steps=X where X is the number of desired volume steps.
I too would like this. When streaming BT audio the jump in volume from one step to the next is way too high.
Maybe Oneplus should change it to something like nexus devices, where you can scroll the volume bar continuously from 100% to 0% without steps...much more practical, especially in cases like an alarm, where even the first step now is quite loud.
Exactly same issue here! I hate it!! Music sounds all stupid and with OnePlus tweaking the sound. The music is not natural like it's supposed to be! Saw it on a video **** sucks! Maybe alot of people can't noticed the difference and I do mean ALOT. But I can! And the few also complaining about this too! No equalizer works properly. Treble too high and the mids are low! Bass not even there. I'm actually using my s7 edge for music because the DAC on oneplus 3T is absolutely horrible

Confirmed to work on a rooted 3t
install magisk and use the module that increases volume steps. You don't need a custom ROM or xposed for this.

tried all the above on lenovo m8 fhd (android 10) best I get is two volume ranges. No one has a fix for this so looks like a custom rom is needed

[FIX] Experiencing low sound in calls ?

I am experiencing low sound in calls after latest update 4.0.3 . Any fixes available ?
Guys after looking into some threads , i got something useful . my call volume is fixed .
Download BuildProp Editor by JRummy on the Google Play Store and open it up. Tap on the “pencil” icon in the top right to bring up the manual editing mode. Scroll all the way to the bottom and add either of the build.prop lines mentioned above and set it equal to the number of volume steps you want to have. For example, entering these two commands at the end will double the number of in-call volume steps and media volume steps respectively.
ro.config.vc_call_vol_steps=14
ro.config.media_vol_steps=30
Once you’ve entered these commands, reboot your phone. If it worked, you should now have as many volume steps as you specified in build.prop.

Thanks for this post. I suffered from annoying low in call volume on my previous device so know how irritating it can be, especially when making calls in busy areas, like a road with heavy traffic. I've only had this device for a few days and since getting it have been away in an area where there is next to no mobile signal so I have not taken or received any calls.
Question
What you have written would seem to suggest that the prop changes would increase the number of volume steps that are applicable for each volume type, but, does does this really alter the actual maximum volume setting? if not then I can't see that this is a fix.

The code is like this
// Initialize volume
int maxVolume = SystemProperties.getInt("ro.config.vc_call_vol_steps",
MAX_STREAM_VOLUME[AudioSystem.STREAM_VOICE_CALL]);
if (maxVolume != MAX_STREAM_VOLUME[AudioSystem.STREAM_VOICE_CALL]) {
MAX_STREAM_VOLUME[AudioSystem.STREAM_VOICE_CALL] = maxVolume;
AudioSystem.DEFAULT_STREAM_VOLUME[AudioSystem.STREAM_VOICE_CALL] = (maxVolume * 3) / 4;
}
maxVolume = SystemProperties.getInt("ro.config.media_vol_steps",
MAX_STREAM_VOLUME[AudioSystem.STREAM_MUSIC]);
if (maxVolume != MAX_STREAM_VOLUME[AudioSystem.STREAM_MUSIC]) {
MAX_STREAM_VOLUME[AudioSystem.STREAM_MUSIC] = maxVolume;
AudioSystem.DEFAULT_STREAM_VOLUME[AudioSystem.STREAM_MUSIC] = (maxVolume * 3) / 4;
}
i think it alters the max volume but i am not sure but my low call volume is definitely fixed . I just added the lines which i mentioned above.
Testing on my Mi A1, now I have to wait to receive a call. (*Insert a Forever Alone Meme)
EDIT: It changes the number of incremental steps, but the maximum volume remains the same.
Does this fix work on latest OxygenOS betas? There was a TWRP flashable zip before but not sure if it works still.
just clean the speaker grill.
Already cleant the speaker grill. Need the volume to be boosted
volume fix

Flashable zip worked on nugatt but not work in oreo since tasha mixer files are in different localization, you need to manual change values in tasha_miser_paths.xml in system/vendor/etc root folder.
I can send you my edited file.

magisk module named "low in call volume fix oneplus 3/3t for RR" not sure if the name is exactly the same but just type "low in" and the module should show up. Tho its for RR i use it on beta 25 and the issue is fixed ! :good:
Increasing the volume steps in root\System\build.prop didn't change the output volume for me.
I solve this issue by modifying a single parameter in "root"\system\vendor\etc\mixer_paths_mtp.xml
(https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-a1/how-to/how-to-modify-ear-speaker-volume-mi-a1-t3779866)
Best regards.
Fixed it by editing the RX0-RX8 Digital Volume values from 84 to 94 in mixer_paths_tasha.xml file found in /vendor/etc folder and it works! Now I keep the call volume 1-2 levels lower than full. Tried it on OxygenOS beta 24. Thanks for the help everyone.

Is there a method to decrease the minimum volume of media speaker?

Hi. I have 3T With Oxygen 5.0.1 and when volume is on lowest position, notifications and ringtones are still sounds too loud. Is there a chance to decrease minimum volume level? I have root, stock kernel
You can get an Xposed module to increase the volume steps, or edit the build.prop, so that you don't have as big a jump between a decent volume and too loud or too soft. Otherwise I hope someone can answer this.

What parameter in build.prop?
I would get a custom kernel and decrease volume with the app like Kernel Adiutor

Add ro.config.media_vol_step=30 or whatever number you want.

This prop is going to change media volume steps and not the ringtone/notification one, which is OP asking about

Is it possible to separate ringtone and notification control volume ?

Hi,
I am about to buy a brand new N7P. But, as it's under andrdoid one, i would like to know if there are the same issues as for others android one phones.
Indeed, i had a xiaomi mi A2 for 2 days, i returned it because the control volume for notification (sms, whatsapp...) cannot be separated with ringtone (when you receive a phone call). It's the same setting, you can only put different the sound for both, but you cannot change the volume separately.
Moreover, even at minimum level of volume, it's was way to loud, really too loud. I tried to change this with third party apps, without success.
Does the Nokia 7 Plus has the same issue as it's under android one ? I did not find any help on the manual we can see on the nokia website
Thanks for your help

Yes the "issue" is present, just one setting for ringtone volume
At the minute this is an Android Problem. However if you're willing to wait for the official Android Pie (9.0) to drop this will fix the issue.
If you can't wait you can always install the beta. But the beta WILL wipe your device
Unlock bootloader
Magisk Root
Xposed systemless + latest 8.1SDK
Ringer & Notification Unlink module from playstore.
And final result:

Thanks for your input, maybe i will try this solution.
But, what about the minimum volume level ? It it possible to set it less loud too ? I mean, the minimum level is, for my preference, too much loud, so can we adjust it more accurately ?
Thanks
For that i saw somewhere another xposed mod - volume steps or similar.
