Hi,
Sometimes when music is playing, sound level changes by itself, it gets lower and lower, and then after a few seconds it gets back to the level I set it to be in the first place, doesnt matter if its stock music player or a third party app... it happens with both of them,
Does anyone know any thing about this?

It's a simple question and an annoying thing to me.
I've tried to search but didn't find anything helpful.
So, is it possible to the notification sound don't stop current playing music? Just like happen in iphone, the notification sound reduces the volume fo the playback, plays, and then the playback volume goes back to the original value, or, even just play in the same volume. The point is, to don't stop the playback.
The nearest thing that I've found was a solution through CM, and since there is no stable version of CM to note, it won't work to me.
If there is no solution I guess that I'll have to leave the notification on silent mode .
I think I may have found what I suspect is a software bug and not I hope a hardware glitch.
I was listening to a track using the HTC Music player with my headphones (Linkin Park's 'From the Inside') and shortly into the powerful bassy intro, the sound perceptively dropped automatically.
The problem is repeatable as follows
Test 1
- After the volume has dropped off (after about 14 seconds) I rewound to the previous track where the sound restored to a normal level.
- I then forward to the 'Linkin Park' track where it starts off as before but then the volume drops at the same point in the track.
- Rewind to the previous track, play a bit, forward and same thing
Test 2
- Now if instead of rewinding to the previous track, I rewind to the start of the Linkin Park track after the volume has dropped, the volume does not re-adjust but remains at the decreased level and the song plays through with no further volume adjustment, but at a much lower level off course.
In Summary, it's only restored if I go back to another song but always drops off automatically.
I repeated all of the above with Beat's audio on and off with no impact.
I'm pretty sure there have been automatic volume adjustments before but I have not been able to quantify this until tonight since I'm testing some headphones. It's almost as if the phone decides mid track, "this is too bassy" or "too loud so I'm adjusting" to a lower volume.
Very annoying issue, particularly since the volume drops to an unacceptably low level so I need to manually increase.
Has anyone else experienced this or is a settings issue I've missed somewhere.
As an update, I just tried playing the same track using 'Play Music' and there was no automatic volume adjustment.
Track still adjusts in the HTC Music App at the same point.
I guess that means I'll be using Google's app unless I can get a fix for this
Shame since I prefer the look and feel of HTC's app.

Anyone seen this or able to replicate ?
I coincidentally stumbled upon this thread a few hours ago because I was having a different sound related issue and wanted to check the forums first before starting a new thread about it.
Now, seconds ago, while listening to some songs via the stock HTC music player the same bug you describe here happened to me too.
I instantly remembered your thread I read hours before and compared your problem report to what just happended to me.
Just like you I experienced a sudden drop in overall volume that wouldn't go away by itself or rewinding or fast-forwarding the song. Reloading the song by skipping to the next or going back to the previous one helped. The volume drop happened for me at second 49 so I started the song over and was watching very closely to the timeline and waiting for second 0:49 and the drop to come. However it didn't happen and the volume kept its level.
So in my case this bug doesn't seem to be related to the song or a special second or minute in it.
To me it sounded like the same type of volume decreasing like when you receive a message or notification which would change the volume's focus for a second but without turning it up again afterwards.
I'm sorry I can't help you though.
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?
Hi everyone, I have some speaker issues in my n6. The front dual speakers are fantastic and hands down the best I have ever used in any smartphone, but whenever my phone's battery level drops below 70%, the speaker volume automatically decreases, without me having to manually lower don the volume.
Whenever this thing happens with me , I immediately check the volume panel and there it says that its already max. Then when the phone's battery level drop to around 30%, the speaker volume decreases significantly as if I am listening to at half the volume and the volume panel still shows the volume to be at the max.
At first I thought, it must be a hardware issue, but that wasn't the case. when i watch videos on MX player, this problem doesn't seem to occur at all even if the battery is less than 10%. This problem only occurs whenever I use a music player. Earlier I used google play music, then I changed to sony walkman and I have also tried various other music players from the playstore as well but the problem always persists.
I even changed my roms for months , but still no luck.
My question to you guys is, does it happen with anyone else? How can I fix this issue if its not common?
Your help will be appreciated

evening all i have found two strange issues that i haven't resolved through the usually settings checks and tinkering, both issues are related to notifications and i think they are one in the same. when watching YouTube videos if a notification comes in during the video (in full screen mode) the video volume drops as expected for a split second so you know you have a notification however the sound never returns the the same level it remains very quiet? even when turning the volume up and down and back up again its still reduced somehow? if you exit YouTube and go back in to a video it works as normal at normal volume levels until another notification comes in. this is very frustrating and i am not sure how to stop this?
has anyone got any suggestions?
secondly i think this is related to the above but when listening to music (both via earphone or loudspeaker) when a notification comes in it stops the music and does not reestablish it? i am using poweramp as my music app and the only way to start the music again is to unlock phone and start the app? (not good when driving).
again both would seem to be related but i can not find a way to stop the above? if anyone can shed any light please let me know whilst i continue searching, thanks in advance.
