I've searched around but without any luck. Most people have problems with too low volume.
I have 6.5 on a flashed rom and the volume on music playback is very loud. On the Manila music widget the volume is quite loud on the speaker and almost too loud on headphones--and that is with the system volume at the lowest level.
When I use WMP I get volume control, but even then I have to put the volume to its lowest setting at 5% for it to be comfortable with headphones on.
Any ideas on how to adjust this? Thanks.
Hi there
I got a real good time with Chimera Rom, it's amazing at its speed and responsivnes and battery life also. Only issue that I currently have with that rom is this:
When I'm playing music on headset or without it, with screen off, when I try to switch songs or increase/decrease volume, it seems to record to signals - one for PRESSING second one from LETTING button go. That's unbeareble annoying when it comes to changing music (2 tracks at time) or increasing volume.
I'm using poweramp, but problem is showing in any music players. Help please.
Any advice?

i have the same problem.
if i have the setting to skip tracks on ROM Control checked:
volume up single click : volume increases then tracks skips 1
volume up hold : track skips twice
same happens for volume down
if i dont have that feature checked in ROM control:
single click on volume up : volume increases about 4 steps
hold on volume up.. volume increases to max (which is normal)
same happens for volume down
i think there is a conflict with that ROM Control option and the settings for Skipping Tracks while screen is off on the Settings>Sound>tick Skip Tracks while screen is off. although im not sure if this is the case.
have you solved your problem?
Hey guys, I'm having an issue with my 3T's media volume. Whenever I resume playback from a media audio source the volume is all the way down to zero. It only happens after a bit of time has passed... not when I hit pause and play in a short period of time. It also doesn't let me turn the volume back up from a locked phone... I have to unlock the phone first.
I'm running everything stock with the latest official update.
Any ideas?
Is anyone else having the same problem? I will launch YouTube or any music playing app or even the ringtone but the volume will play at normal volume for like 10 seconds then automatically level down drastically. Any solution will be greatly appreciated.
P.s its nothing to do with the buttons bcoz the volume slider still displays full volume. and if its the android volume protection feature how do you disable it on the device?
The issue is that I set my S21 Ultra to max volume for bluetooth devices. The phone remembers this setting during use. But after a reboot, the phone reduces the volume when playing over bluetooth.
When connecting to the very same bluetooth device after a reboot, the volume is very quiet.
This behavior seems to ignore the media volume limit settings, two different settings and both are ignored:
1) Turn off media volume limit
This doesn't work because the phone still reduces volume to bluetooth devices after a reboot, and continues to behave as though media volume limit is turned on.
2) Turn on media volume limit, but set custom volume limit to maximum
This doesn't work because the phone still reduces volume to bluetooth devices after a reboot, and continues to behave as though media volume limit is turned on.
I feel as though most people stopped paying attention to this bug because they don't reboot their phones very often, and the issue shows up after a reboot. However I prefer to reboot the phone every night at 3:00 am.
FYI this is particularly frustrating for use in a car, because I toggle between radio (listen to talk radio shows) and bluetooth (listen to podcast), so when you set the car's volume for listening to the radio, it's unusable when you toggle to bluetooth and can't hear the phone very well. For car radio and bluetooth to be heard at the same levels, the phone needs to have it's media volume set to max. But after a reboot the phone lowers the phone's media volume despite any settings in the media volume limit controls.

Settings>System>Developer options>Disable absolute volume
Try turning that on. It might solve your problem.

Thanks. My car is from 2012 and it doesn't support absolute volume. I had the same issue with my Galaxy S9+ until Samsung finally patched it.
I think they are just including the same bug with the S21 Ultra, where settings for Media Volume Limit are ignored after a reboot, and the phone forces the volume setting lower.
Just to be sure, I've followed your suggestion and toggled the developer setting on for the disable absolute volume, because I dislike that feature anyway. Unlike my car that doesn't support it, my bluetooth headset supports bluetooth absolute volume and I dislike how it works.
I'll reboot the phone and test it out in a couple hours when I go driving, to see if the phone again lowers the bluetooth volume and post an update.

No, this did not help. Absolute volume is disabled, and I connected to my car and set the phone's volume to max.
But after a reboot, as before, when my phone connects to the car via bluetooth, the phone decreases its volume as though media volume limit is kicking in.
As for settings, my phone has the media volume limit toggled on, and the custom volume limit set to maximum. So the volume is being changed to lower than maximum, approximately 2/3 setting. So the phone is not respecting the media volume limit setting with the custom volume limit.
As mentioned earlier, I can also turn off the media volume limit, but get the same frustrating behavior where after a reboot, when I connect to a bluetooth device, the phone will lower its own volume setting to 2/3.
It just seems like a bug where the phone always uses a hard-coded 2/3 media volume limit, and disregards the on/off setting for media volume limit, and also disregards the custom volume limit.
Can anyone else actually try this with their phone to confirm it's a bug? The issue happens after you reboot, and connect to a bluetooth audio device. The full volume setting is maintained so long as you haven't rebooted since setting the volume level.
I'm still on the April firmware, T-mobile, so I'm really hoping the May update will address this bug.
Does anyone else see a different behavior?
Will your phone always reduce the volume and prevent max volume, after you reboot and connect to a bluetooth device for audio output?
Use Bixby Routines to set the BT volume to max whenever you connect to your car.
I have a routine for when it connects my car that keeps the phone unlocked, sets media volume to max, and starts playing music.
Doesn't fix the bug but it's not a concern after doing this.
Also I don't see the point in rebooting your phone daily...
Reboots always lowers my volume but I raise it on my Phone to max and it remains that way when on the Bluetooth headphones then control volume via the headset not the phone.
Is there a way to report this bug to Samsung?
It's a bug because the phone ignores it's own settings after a reboot. The settings are obeyed during use only after you've manually increased the volume upon first connecting. This bug was in the S9+ phone, until Samsung finally fixed it. Now they just need to fix the bug for the S21 Ultra.
