Media volume keeps resetting? - Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Everytime i use podkicker (podcast player app) and plug an aux cable into my car i increase the volume to the max. When i exit the app and disconnect the cable the vol resets back. Am i missing something simple here? Does this happen to anybody else? I have never owned a phone where it does not remember the media vol setting?

So nobody else has noticed this, or am i crazy lol?

Happens to me everytime I insert headphones, the volume is around 25% resets....assuming that this is "safe media volume" in settings - sounds, but our Note 3 doesn't have a setting like that

Totaly normal feature on the phone... volume resets on plug and unplug of headphones... volume of device speaker changes when bluetooth is enabled so it doesn't come blasting out of your bluetooth device also.

I remedied it by using Tasker to set the volume after launching my music app after headphones are plugged in.

Nexus 7 mutes itself and won't un-mute

My Nexus 7 keeps muting the speakers and I the only way I can get it out is to turn it off and on again.
When its muted itself (I don't even know how to mute it) the volume rocker display shows the speaker with a line across it (muted).
Sometimes the rocker won't change the the blue volume level bar and sometimes it will allow me to increase the volume level to maximum but the speaker stays in muted mode.
Anybody have any idea what is going on?

I just got this too. I was playing with Tasker at the time, not sure if it's related.
maybe it is a rogue app
I had the same problem (Google brought me here). I was able to fix it by killing media related programs until the sound came back. In my case the culprit was Netflix. As soon as I killed Netflix, the sound came back and I was able to change the volume again. Hope this helps.

I don't have netflix and it still mutes itself? any other ideas?
Does anyone know if it's a specific version of Netflix that causes this to happen? I wonder if it's something they know about and are working on.

Hold down power until you get the power off menu. The last option is called silent mode and it mutes and unmutes the device. Hope that helps

Hi, could you please give instructions on how to "kill media-related programs" as you describe above on the Nexus 7? I would like to try your suggestion, as my Nexus 7 has no sound. I don't have Netflix installed. Thanks.

very low sound volume on NETFLIX

Hey everyone,
have you guys notice how low is the sound volume on Netflix ,when I try to watch a movie I hardly hear it.
Is there any fix for this ?
Thanks!
Edit : also in YouTube having the same issue.
You need to provide more information: ie. What version of android are you running (4.2, 4.2.1, 4.2.2)? Are you on stock or custom ROM? Has this always happened or just started after ___________ ?
I am on 4.2.2 stock Rom (just rooted) and I have no trouble with the volume with Netflix. (tuning in over vpn)
I'm on the latest 4.2.2 .
I was watching this movie flawless and volume was very low but when im listen to music its not as low as on Netflix.
I just noticed lately.
Thanks

Hi thanks
Yes I just did and its seems the same ,when I go to that same movie flawless I got the same low volume
Would you be able to try and tell me how you find the volume?
Thank you!
Ummm... Well, there's the trusty volume switches at the top corner of the tablet. Press those left and right until something happens.

There's not a separate volume control hidden inside Netflix.
The volume switches on the tablet control the volume on Netflix. If its all the way up, that's as loud as it will play

Yes thanks
Its not loud enough.
Its a Netflix issue cause everything else is OK.
I have the same issue, happens on a few other various apps too.
Same issue here on my Nexus 7 (2013). I fixed it by loading my music app which also had low output. I used the volume button and turned it up and got a popup from system asking if I want to damage my hearing to tap yes - I'm paraphrasing. I hit yes and all's well now. Hope this helps someone.
Now I can get back to Orange Is The New Black..

If your rooted then you simply must install ViPER4Android. It will change your sound on headphones, speakers and bluetooth. It had such an impact on my N10 speakers that I rarely use earplugs anymore.
Adding volume (gain) is the least it can do. As far as I'm concerned Google should buy the app and add it to stock android.

Even though it sounds like I'm over hyping it, I'm not.

[Q] Volume control

When playing music or listening to an audio books, I set the volume to full but after a minute or so it drops to about 75%. I've looked around without any luck.
Perhaps somebody can directed me to the right place to be a lock on the volume.
Thanks

Maybe that Adapt Sound thing is enabled and configuring your volume automatically. Did you check this? If it's enabled, disable it.
Settings>Sound>Adapt Sound
No luck with adapt sound
Sounds like something to do with the hearing damage warning.Try to find a way to reset it.Some countries have specific laws about it so your CSC may have something to do with it.
Good luck.
thanks, Fellas
The culprit was an app called VOLUME LOCK, which worked fine on an Note 1 but was either installed incorrectly or doesn't work properly on an N3. It's gone and I have no more troubles with the volume on my device.
Thanks again for your input.

[Q] Media Volume Levels With Headphones

Hi Guys
Just moved from a HTC One x to the S5 and there is one thing bugging me at the min.
When i plug in my headphones and watch a video the volume level is set about 50% so i increase the level to 75% watch my videos, when i have finished and removed the headphones, the next time i put the headphones in the volume jumps back to 50%
i have tried installing 3rd party apps and i can see that when i select my volume level and then unplug and reinsert my headphones, the level drops back to the default 50%
has anyone else had this problem, im hoping there is a fix somewhere in the options that allows me to set the default
I dont want to root my phone just yet (i know all about teh benefits of rooting etc having done it on my other phones) so anything that rules out anything to do with root
other than that im loving the new phone at the min,
Thanks for looking
Give Diceplayer a try, for me it remembers the play level and the volume can go up to 400%. (I did disable all stock music EQ's and apps that I could without Root.)

Thanks for your suggestion though

Sounds almost like it's a setting somewhere. Maybe Adapt Sound or some other averaging setting? I killed that, so I can't check.
