In my old Android 7 device I could set the alarm volume without "sound check". Now, in Xiaomi A3 (Android One / Android 9), when I move the slider for any sound volume control (media, call, ring, alarm) I can hear the currently set sound level every time it's changed (in Settings=>Sound). Why is that? I perfectly remember the perception of every volume level. I don't need this sound check all the time, especially in quiet environments. Why was it (sound "precheck") changed without an option to be disabled? Am J missing something?

Hey guys, I am new to here so i could not post on the dedicated thread created by supercurio.
I am using P990 and have just flashed a voodoo-powered kernel on it, after that i downloaded voodoo sound from Google Play.
The sound was nice, but a Volume Bug comes along.
Here's my settings
- Kernel: 2.6.32.55-cyanogenmod [email protected] #1 (which i downloaded from XDA)
- ROM: official CM 7.2
- Voodoo setting: volume limit set at -25dB, smart amplifier doesn't matter.
The bug happens when:
Step 1) Stop all music (No matter which player using, I had tried the original android and Poweramp)
Step 2) Go to launcher homepage
Step 3) Use the physical volume button to adjust the loudness
Step 4) Go back to music player, play!
Step 5) BUG COME, the volume is extremely high!!!!!Sound like at -10dB, but i set limit to -25dB
Step 6) Press volume- once, the volume returns to normal level (max at -25dB)
Thanks all for your attention, I could not say for sure it is a bug. Let me know if it is only my phone's problem.
Also when a notification sound is played the volume is set to maximum.
Has been there forever.
My workaround:
Set phone to silent when listening to music.

You means you has my problem too？
I think it might be the same problem. And the one i described has been there since voodoo sound first came out

I.tried numerous apps to increase overall external speaker sound several mods nothing has worked was wondering is there something that can b done within the sys registry that will actually send a command to the external speaker to raise the volume.......a script or something .....

What ROM you are running?
Many JB kernels have In-Call Volume options in Advanced settings.
You can't increase the volume above build-in amplifier/speaker limits.

If music plays fine, then your speaker is good. You have 3 more things to check:
- What is notification and ringtones volume settings level? Set all sliders to max.
(you probably did)
- Is Ascending Ringtone (in Interface > Sound) enabled? Check Ringing Start Volume and Increase Interval settings.
(set about 40-50% volume for Ringing Start and 2sec for Increase Interval)
- What files you use for notification and ringtone? Some mp3 files are just recorded with low volume level.
(your problem most likely, try with default sounds and find something louder and high pitched)
When adjusting media volume the Note 8 plays Samsung's signature brand music, Over the Horizon, to help gauge volume. (I can't post links here yet but Samsung has a youtube video of enthusiastic jazz dudes recording the song in a studio.)
Over the Horizon is far too obnoxiously loud for this task, esp with headphones. In contrast the Note 5 had calming spa music as its volume preview.
And, yes, I use a volume profile widget but frequently need to adjust the media volume depending on where I am, what I'm doing, etc.
On my locked Verizon phone I can't delete or modify the file at /system/media/audio/ui/media_preview_over_the_horizon.ogg
Any ideas?
Thanks,

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.
I don't see an option to disable this on this S10. Cycling through ringtones for the alarm they all have increasing volume. No option to disable that like on the Note 9. Is this an S10 thing or Pie/One UI thing or both?

Opposite for me, alarm clock tones used to gradually increase in volume to wake me up. But not anymore.

I've seen this question over at AC and it sounds like there is no way to control this with Pie.

I wondered when I saw this if even tones from a source like Zedge would be tempered to gradually fade in?
Maybe Samsung just assumes that we use soft ringtones to wake us up like smelling a nice ocean breeze or something. When in fact, I need to be woken up like the radiation alarm inside a nuclear submarine just went off.
