Could not find a thread that mentioned this issue so started a new one. If there is one, please link me. I am on stock unrooted N4 and love it. In the last couple of weeks I have noticed something odd with volume when playing google music app. I can be listening to a song and if I hit volume up. I get the ringer volume level which is already set pretty high but, moving the bar left or right does not change the volume of the song I am listening to. Other times when I am listening to a google play song and hit the volume, I get the speaker icon showing midway in the bar and I am able to raise or lower volume of song ok. The volume at midpoint when listening to music app is high and can increase even more but, when the ringer volume displays in google music app, the overall volume is half as loud and lose notification sound for incoming texts and mail.
The only way to resolve this issue is to reboot or power off the phone. I am using light flow and I wonder if the app's volume setting are causing the problem. If so, I may remove light flow lite app.

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.
This one has been bugging me for a while and for the most part I've just worked around it (by manually triggering the bug/fix myself first).
The situation is that X1 starts off at a particular volume level, and I start listening to music via PocketPlayer though from what I can tell it happens regardless. It sounds "ok", but noticeably flat? I dunno like a mono audio file even volume turned up, although I can't confirm that. Just describing.
OK the bug - if some kind of event happens, the volume suddenly jumps up, without actually changing the setting. So I'll be listening to music and if one of the following occurs:
1. receive or send an SMS/MMS
2. I toggle the phone function, i.e. turn off phone radio. when I turn it back on the volume doesn't change
the volume jumps up, and I have to say the music sounds much better. On the flip side, when the phone happens to ring, it's loud as hell, distorts like hell and annoys everyone in the process. The ringtone volume just sounds over-the-top.
Now I'm pretty sure it's not the music player because #2 (toggling the phone) seems to affect the volume already. The message box alert sound on toggling the phone seems louder the second time.
Anyone have or notice this issue?
The only volume threads I find are all about a low constant volume and don't sound like this one. FWIW I did try the reg changes anyway. It still varies.
After updating my Galaxy Tab 10.1 Limited Edition to 3.1, I noticed that the notification sound was considerably louder... even at the lowest volume. Has anybody else noticed this? Any proposed fixes? Thanks in advance!
open the volume thingy by using the volume rocker then tap the settings looking thing to the right of the volume slider. That should bring up the notification volume level.

I hadn't noticed that. Cheers.
It seems as if my tablet after the update to 3.1 it doesn't play music as loud from the headset Jack. It even gives you a warning about damaging your ears that I don't remember seeing in 3.0.
This a bummer because one of the main things I use my tablet for is playing music on my sterio. Its a great music player but now it seems as if it just won't turn up loud enough.

I don't think the music volume was affected with my tab... but, then again, I didn't listen to a whole lot of music on it before the update.

Thanks for the info... I should've mentioned that I'm not a Honeycomb newb, so I was able to turn the notification volume down... but even at it's lowest setting, it's still pretty loud. But it seems like I have a good amount of bugs that nobody else has mentioned on these forums to think that a factory reset might fix them all.
I'll keep you all posted.
Thanks!
Two issues here. First is the warning about turning the volume up to loud. How can we remove this warning?
I saw someone mention going into the default music player and turning on smart volume. Problem is when I do this, all my songs start out at a real low volume. To get the sound back up, I either have to turn it up more than it was, or skip back to last song, then skip forward and it starts playing at a louder volume.
Second issue is I have noticed with Google Music on the S4 ( did not experience this with my S3) the volume at random times will adjust by itself. A song will go to a lower volume then a few seconds later come back. I see this sometimes, but not all the time.

Believe it or not, I actually experienced both of this issues myself on my S 4.
1.) I have not found a way to remove that warning natively. There are a few 'ad blocker' apk's you can install that let you adjust rules for the apk and you can set it to ignore those types of notifications on your device. Successfully doing this should fix your issue.
2.) I had this auto readjusting volume issue and mine did it often. I tried everything from reinstalling GMusic, redownloading some of my music, playing with every setting possible and nothing fixed it. I read somewhere to disable the app's service, clean the phone cache and any information for GMusic, restart the device then re-enable the GMusic service, force stop it and reopen the app.
Seems, kind of weird to me - but I haven't had the volume readjust at all.
You can force stop, enable and disable apps by going to System Settings > More > Application Manager
Longtime Android user here, with a Shiny New Verizon S7, stock (Android 6.0.1, model SM-6930V). However, I have an odd issue. I have the volumes for the various events set per my preferences. None are at full volume, and they all play at my preset volumes.
However, if I plug in a wired headset (connect it to the aux input jack in my car), notifications are really quiet as if at the lowest setting, regardless of the volume level I actually had set. If I'm playing music (say, Pandora) when a notification fires, the music volume is automatically lowered as usual, but the notification sound is low. Music returns to normal once the notification sound has finished playing.
If, while plugged in, I go to the volume settings, the sliders are where I left them. If I move the notification volume slider around, it doesn't change the notification volume (unless I slide it to 'off', where it does turn the volume all the way down).
I've downloaded a few different apps to try to fix this, to no avail.
Odd, and frustrating, behavior.
Has anyone seen this, or have any ideas? It's a company phone, so I can't root it. :-/
Bueller...?
