Youtube audio output (speaker and headphone) is much quieter than other apps - Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers

Hi all,
Been using a P20 Pro for nearly 2 weeks and the only issue I have is the volume in YouTube app - its too low when set to max.
When using the loudspeaker and headphones (usb-c to 3.5mm adapter) on both the volume output is not particularly loud. Other apps such as tiktok or even the music player give loud audio output but not the YouTube app.
I turned off the battery optimization but this didn't make a difference. Similarly played around with the atmos setting and doesn't make a difference.
Compared to my S7 Edge, the P20 Pro cannot be heard using YouTube and loudspeaker with side by side tests.
It seems to be a software issue - has anyone else noticed this?

someone check for me please, im using EMUI 9.1.0

I think it's due to music player supporting Dolby Atmos while other apps can't. Can confirm YouTube plays at lower volume than Music player, not sure about Tik Tok as I haven't used that.

it is on but every video have low volume
Yeah, a software pre-amp volume boost would be great.
It's not just Youtube.
I listen to a lot of podcasts that are nearly inaudible on my N1 without headphones.
This would be pretty sweet. I use the audio jack to connect to my car to play over the radio since i dont have a fancy aux jack in my car radio. It is not nearly as loud as the normal radio. I cant drive w/ the windows down because i cant her the music at max volume.

[Q] Built-in equalizer not working for speakers?

So the built in EQ seems to work lovely when I plug in my headphones on anything like Pandora, YouTube and even notification noises on my phone. However, if I just use the phone speaker the equalizer has no effect at all. Not a single change in sound from Extreme Bass to Vocalizer setting when watching YouTube and Pandora. Does anyone know why it only works via headphones and not over the phone speaker?
Seems to work just fine for me. Having owned an HTC One before this, the external speaker quality is a definite step back. That said, I can notice a difference when I change the equalizer settings, albeit the fact that the audio pauses between settings (when playing on YouTube) makes it harder to tell.

weird
Can you test it on Pandora too? I really can't tell a difference only when headphones are plugged in
I think I can, however like YouTube it is a very subtle difference between even what should be opposite ends of eq. (Extreme bass brilliant treble)
Edit: I noticed the largest difference when using Play Music.

I think Pandora is the only thing that doesn't let the equalizer affect for some reason. It's just weird on headphones it works amazing

Nexus 6 Headphone jack gives unclean audio\Static

Hi there!
TL\DR - Stock Nexus 6 Headphone jack produces noise\unclean audio when playing at low volume . A bit annoyed and wonder if i can do something about it.
First poster and a new user of Android in general, and I got myself a Nexus 6 as a first android phone. Love it so far.
Except for one minor issue.
My audio quality with the headphone jack is a bit strange.
It has background static when audio is playing low, or if there is a low audio portion of a song or video the headphones.
My old Iphone 4[yes, I used that crap for four years] had no problems with this.
I've tried a couple different headphones, but they both have the issue.
My main ones are a pair of Shure SE425 inear. So I hear everything crystal clear, including this annoying static.
I have very sensitive ears when it comes to audio and usually listen to music with "one bar" volume, sometimes two when watching something.
Is this a common issue?
My thoughts are that either the WiFi antenna or something similar is interfering, because the jack isn't shielded or something.
Might be some kind of decoding issue?
The phone is untuched with it comes to rooting or installing apps.
It's basically as stock as it can be.
Kind regards.
Despite my tinnitus (not caused by listening to loud events, etc.), I have sensitive ears, as well.
I have a Nexus 6 64GB running stock 5.1.1. My Sennheiser headphones (both portable and heavier monitoring types) don't exhibit this static you described, even at lowest audible level. This is for playing high quality MP3 files using PowerAmp, as a quick test.
What audio source are you using, please?

I have the same issue, after the recent update on 6.0.1
Audio Player used: Google Play Music and Blackplayer
Video Player: MX Player, VLC and Youtube.
The issue is same as the above since the recent update.

Poweramp on Snapdragon Note 8

Of all the music players out there, I prefer Poweramp. I have the latest 704 alpha version. However, the volume is very low (DVC disabled) as compared to other music players (USB Android Audio, MX Player etc.). Anybody know why? With DVC enabled the volume is even lower.
Check replay gain and adjust to +7db

Thanks. It does not cause more distortion?
You're obviously not using Viper. Mine is too loud.....And thats with the bundled AKG's. Poweramp 704( Choose 24bit/192 in settings) and Viper4android. No eq or dsp in poweramp selected/activated.

does viper improve anything for Bluetooth earbuds? have you tested? just curious
Yes, it does. Viper has individual settings and profiles for speaker, headeset and bluetooth. And yes, i've tried them all and the difference is night and day over out of the box.
Now come up with a solution that does NOT require root. I lose too much by rooting.

Have you verified that the volume control is maxed out on the Note 8? With my Note 8 and Poweramp, the phone has a tendency to "forget" the bluetooth volume setting and drop back down to a much lower output. I'll raise the volume back up to max (the car headunit handles volume control duties) and then it works again - until the next time that the glitch occurs. I haven't tested this without bluetooth - so not sure whether this would occur via the headphone jack.
Poweramp's feature to auto-resume playback upon bluetooth reconnect also doesn't work most of the time (works maybe 5% of the time). I'm a new Poweramp user - so don't know whether this is specific to the Note 8.

Then I guess I'll have to give Samsung Music a try. Seems odd that it wasn't installed out-of-the-box on the Note 8. But if it works...

Something else has to be wrong. Check in settings> sound quality and effects and set everything to default except UHQ upscaler. If you're not rooted/ using viper, than DVC should make it sound better and louder. I use a flat eq from my headunit with crossovers at-6db/80hz and dynamic bass on high +eq with DVC in poweramp with high res audio, sox resampler, shibata dither gives great results. Also use aux or usb over Bluetooth for car audio. My headunit volume is max and poweramp/phone is maybe 60% and can't turn it any higher than that without damaging something.

Static/hissing noise at low volume

Hello!
I have a problem with my new Xiaomi Mi 8. I would like to confirm if its only my device doing that or other devices too. Its running Android 9 with Miui 10.2.3.0.
When I set the lowest possible volume (not muted) the static noise is louder than the sound coming out of built in speaker or earphones connected via jack. It is pretty noticable even when the sound is set to high and there are e.g. silent parts of song. It does not matter which app I use (youtube, spotify, default music app). When I connect my bluetooth headset everything is okay and the sound is clear.
For testing purposes I am using song Kaleo - Way We Go Down. I find it most noticable there. The song even breaks and stops playing for a few milliseconds in the begining. Can you guys somehow test this issue and reply here with the results? I want to see if I am the only one having this problem.
Btw when I connect my earphones to my 4 years old iphone 6 the sound is crystal clear.
Thank you.
