Unlike all the other volume related posts I've found, I seem to have the opposite problem LOL
When working, or late at night when everything else is dead quiet, I've been using my HD to listen to radio / youtube (ok, not strictly working then ), but I'm finding that even on the lowest setting, the volume is actually very loud.
One more down click on the volume buttons turns the volume off, but one click up from silent is too loud for background noise.
I know I could adjust it via the on-screen volume slider app, but that's just a faff!
Is there any way to adjust the volume control buttons so that it takes (say) 10 or 20 clicks to get from off to max, rather than just 3 or 4 as it does now?
Or perhaps I'm just getting old ("turn that racket down son" as my Dad used to tell me...)
Stupid thing is that with the Diamond you could also adjust the volume in the same way (taking steps of 3 bars in the volume overview) but when touching the screen you could increment/decrement with 1 bar accuracy, allowing much better volume control. When I try this on the HD, it skips 3 bars as well...
Argh why remove this feature??
dunno - but it's begining to do my head in...
I've resorted to digging out an old set of headphones which have a volume dial on them
Just tested the mp3 player and found the same problem, very annoying. Be good if someone could make a fix
If you're using Coreplayer, you could assign the volume button to control the volume up and volume down. In addition, in the setting you could choose whether to change the volume in 1% or 10% increments. I always use this option to get the EXACT volume that I want. This is very important when I listen to music before going to bed. With the 10% increment default, it is too loud for me to fall asleep even at 10% loudness, hence I always use this feature in Coreplayer.
Nice on eaglesteve, cheers
I wasn't using it, but at least I know now that I could

That works OK for me, can adjust to the single bar you click on with more resolution than the buttons - I also need to do this to get a low enough headphone level.

Hello,
Is it possible to affect permanently the side scroll Jog/Wheel to volume function (up/down) instead of the classical menu scrolling function?
Unfortunately, this button (side wheel) does not appear in the key parameters menu.
Is there any registry value to activate it, or any software to install?
PS. This function exist by default in HTC Excalibur/s610 for example, where one can affect the side Jog to menu navigation/scrolling or just to volume control.
Thanks in advance,
Cyrus.
The big question is, why the hell would you want to change a full wheel control into a useless jog volume control. How often do you change the volume on your phone?
No offence but i just cannot understand why you would want to.
On my phone i map the side button to vibra switch when held down so you can change between ring and vibrate.

The answer can be as easy and simple as the one of El_Mariachi
Let’s say that I realised this need when using TomTom in the car...
As my Trinity sound is always low (1st case or just vibrate) on classical use. When using the Trinity in the car and starting TomTom... The sound is really low and practically not audible (always forgot to increase it before)
And believe me that when driving and trying to switch to today screen and then clicking the sound icon and increasing the sound just by your fingers is a highly not recommended thing to do
Get some software with profile switching ability.

I use CoPilot as an alternative to TomTom and CP maps the jog wheel to volume control whilst it is running. Very useful but more importantly it demonstrates that it can be done.
@ Loboman & Jazza: Thanks for the helpful informations.
As an information: In TomTom ,the side wheel also controls the volume (but only the TomTom volume). The main volume is always the one of the phone. Meening taht if the phone sound is low... Even if the TomTom volume is at the maximum, the resulting volume is low.
the default level of the music player is too high, even though you turn the device volume to the lowest level. any way to modify it?
Hey,
I know it isn't a software solution, but check this out,
http://www.headphoneworld.com/p/Shure_Volume_Control_Attenuator.htm
I'm thinking about getting it as I hate having to take my phone out and don't like the way I can't drop percent at a time on the system volume buttons when listening to music.
With this device you can run the phone volume as normal, and control the signal to the headphones, proportionally without pulling the phone out.
....IB a n e
Actually, as i play more with the HD, i found that when use the setting of TF 3D to adjust the volume, it can reach to the 0% but still outputing a small volume of sound,
that's nice, i can more enjoy the music when my surrounding is quiet.
just share, hope to be useful for you
hi there!
i just got my hd last week and i played around with it only a little with help and advise from a friend whos active here on the board...
still i have some questions about some things i was unable to solve:
1.) the sound of my phone while playing music via earplugs is way too loud. while 20% were set as default when switching the phone on in the first place, setting the volume to 1 or 2% still is too loud for me. how can i adjust the sound volume to a more "normal" level? (meaning that i can set the volume to ~5% as "hard to hear anything" and 100% as "extreme loud"). don't get me wrong. i like loud music but this is definitly too much... using the slide2play-player is sth like a workaround for this since it comes with a seperate volume controller but this isn't a real solution...
2.) how do i set the sound volume via the side-buttons in SMALL steps? like 2% per click. clicking up or down once in/decreases the volume by ~20%. this is no way to use this. especially combined with problem #1...
3.) this is nothing software-related, but i'm searching for a (wired) headset for my touch hd with a control on it to adjust the volume, control the music player (play, pause, next and last track), take and end calls. like the hpm-82 for sony-ericsson handys. important: in-ear-plugs! searched around a bit, but found nothing...
noone here with an idea?
For me was also very loud, but now i'm using WMP with which also i can adjust loudness.....But with any player and you can adjust with it....
for #1: is there a "general" volume setting (somewhere hidden in windows) i can adjust?
there are some tweaks in advanced config which help you BOOST the volume but for decreasing it i dont know. anyway about #2 it's an issue that i would like to see solved as well... i somewhat managed to sortof workaround it by invoking the menu screen with the volume hardkeys and then tapping on the desired volume level directly with finger. of course it's all but handy, still it works.
Does anyone know if its possible to change the increment value for volume up/down? It seems to increase/decrease the volume by 20 each time the buttons are pressed. Would love to be able to adjust this to 10 or 25 instead.
I would like to know this too.
I'd like each time I press the side VOL UP or DOWN that the slider only moves 1 notch rather than 3 at a time. Sometimes when I'm in my bed listening to MP3's - 3 notches is too much!!!
I have same problem n asked a few days ago
I didnt find the best solution but found a solution none the less ..

Same problem for me.
This subject is talked in many threads here and in other forums but without any solution.
Any one can help please.
Thx
Yep - this really bugs me too when listening to music in a relatively quiet environment.
you can try using HD tweak to limit the max volume, i found that in doing this it decreased the amount of volume change per bar, of course this also limits the max volume to can ever have so its your call but setting it to its lowest seems plenty loud enough for me.
Its not perfect or even a solution but its a start.
whats really enoying is the alarm, you simply cant get windows basic alarm to be quiet, its either off or too loud, G-Alarm takes care of this however.
any leads on this? im assuming it is set somewhere in the registry? ideas guys??
cheers]

Nothing new about that ?
You can set the max music volume indipendantly to system volume. I have music volume set to 25% which makes is listenable across the whole range of system volumes.
I use Julien Schapmen's excellent Advanced Config Tool to set music volume, it's under the HTC Audio Manager section.

anyone please?
i guess there should be a reg value for this
Thank you
I'm guessing a software volume controller
and using a button mapper
could get around this
NOTE! This lowers ALL volumes if you leave it on! Even alarms and notifications so remember to turn it off when you are done!
I would not recommend using this method at high volumes for extended periods of time. Obligatory "I'm not responsible for broken speakers, this is just my workaround method. I didn't develop the app, it was just recommended to me."
This may sound odd to some, but the speakers for the HTC ONE have always been too loud for me. They are certainly great speakers but I've never really needed them at max volume for anything. I use my ONE at night and in public a lot where the volume shouldn't be loud so I don't disrupt anyone. It took me a while to find any sort of answer of how to lower the volume since even on 1/15 it's still too loud compared to all my other phones and gaming devices. Note that I have the 30 step volume mod, InsertCoin Rom, and BulletProof Kernel, but I don't think it makes a difference for this.
Guide:
Leave Beats Audio On because it's awesome
Lower your volume to its lowest setting for the time being
Go to the Google Play Store and install the free app "Music Volume EQ'
Open it and tap 'EQ' at the bottom of the popup
Make sure it's set to 'ON' at the top left
Now change the sliders:
60Hz raised to +5
230HZ lowered to -5
910HZ lowered to -15
3kHZ lowered to -15
14 kHZ lowered to -15
Your volume should be significantly lower and I believe this is the safest setting to use with any volume level.
For even LOWER volume, set the Bass Boost to its lowest value(knob turned to the lower left) and turn it ON
Set the Virtualizer to its lowest value and set that to ON
This increases the bass even more though so it could damage your speakers over time if you use it on high volumes.
Now you can navigate away from the app by either hitting the power button at the top right of the app or by hitting BACK twice and try playing music or games to make sure it sounds right to you, if not then try adjusting those settings above. You can lower all the sliders to -15 if you'd like, but the sound quality starts to deteriorate in my opinion.
When you are done with your quiet session you can simply tap on the Music Volume EQ notification from the drop down menu and turn it off with the button at the top left!
With this I am able to play my games around others without disturbing anyone
If anyone has any corrections to this, safety warnings, or links(like if this type of guide exists and I'm just blind) please let me know. I have gained so much from this community and haven't contributed much other than "thanks" buttons.
THANK YOU! I've been looking for how to do this! The volume on this thing is just way too loud, even on the lowest sometimes!
Thank you very much for this. Now to find something similar for screen brightness. All the apps for brightness just add an overlay which makes the whole screen muddy looking.

You're looking for Lux Lite on the Play Store. It will lower your brightness to pitch black if you want, it's one of the most recommended brightness apps for any droid.
when I try to run this app I get this error..."htc one dm stopped working" ....Anybody else?
Was looking for a way to lower the volume for listening music on speaker mode. Came across this thread and it works perfectly. Many thanks!

^ Exactly what he said.
Many Thanks for sharing this! I have been watching movies on my HTC One at night and like you said, even the lowest 1/15 volume setting is way too loud. My earphones are broken so i can only use the loudspeakers on the phone itself. I just installed XVolume which is an Xposed mod but it is in Beta 5 and the mod doesn't work for HTC One. I wanted to leave feedback in its development thread but the latter is apparently abandoned since the thread is closed. Anyway, i will try your method right now.
Just a note to everyone (and maybe this info should be added to the main post for security) there are 2 softwares with the same name in the store but i think K&K is the right one since it has millions of downloads.
Update: Your method works! And i have found another software which claims to do the same thing but it's paid and only available as trial in the google play store: Fine Volume Control V2
