Anybody know if the is a way to separate the System volume (eg. the screenshot sound) and the Ringer volume?
Coming from a Galaxy phone, in which they were decoupled. I kept system sounds very low/off and forgot how much they annoy me.
Alternatively, blanking the system sounds might work, but that is a sledge hammer solution...

OK my eyes hurt from looking. Can anyone tell me if there is a way to increase the sound of media player? I have the volume at 100% yet it is still very quiet. I appreciate your help
Maybe stating the obvious but it will get asked: Have you increased you system volume too? Click on the speaker at the top and the left slider (with the phone icon) is the system volume.
I have a similar issue - but also I find the volume contorl to be non-linear, so will be interested to see what else is suggested here.
Gav.
Yeah, I really with the two were independent, or you could control the ring volume apart from the system volume, or something of that nature. I often have to increase the system volume to hear Windows Media Player. This wouldn't be a problem if the ring volume wasn't also affected.
Is there a way to make an application use a different volume than the rest of the device (and I'm not talking about the "ring" and "system" volumes).
Why? Allow me to give an example:
I generally keep the system sounds rather quiet. If I listen to music over the speaker I don't want it to distract me, as I'm usually using it to make working more pleasant.
But then I get into my car and I want the navigation app to speak to me; engine and traffic sounds tend to be rather loud (and my car isn't one of those super quiet ones either), so I'd really like the volume to be upped to the max... unfortunately I usually forget to set it up before firing up the engine.
So, it would be really grand if I could make this app use a completely different, "preset" volume or perhaps, in the very least, use the ringer volume (which I have a lot louder, BTW). Is there any way to do that?
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.
When I first got the tablet I baaaarely.... could hear any Audible Selection sounds like clicking Back or Home. I adjusted every volume bar and rocker at my dispose with no luck. I downloaded a third party app that allowed me to adjust "System Volume" which fixed the audio level issue. I could now hear the unlock sound and the Audible Selections.
Why is there no native way to adjust the the System Volume? Anyone else experience this issue?
Hear is the break down:
The First volume bar represented with a speaker icon adjusts ONLY the Music Level(Instruction books says that this volume bar should adjust the system Volume level.)
The Second volume bar represented with a Bubble with Exclamation in it adjusts both the Alerts and Ringer Volume.
The Third Volume bar represented by an alarm clock or course only adjusts the alarm volume.
Also, The volume rocker only adjusts the music level only not the system volume level.
Looks like there is a firmware boo boo. Sammy needs to push a fix. What I don't doubt is that they're aware issue and probably will not fix it until touchwiz is pushed.
Like I mentioned in the previous thread, it's dumb and my EVO had the same issue.
I think it's caused by putting your phone/tablet into silent mode and it forgetting to unlock the system volume again. They probably forgot to enter statement in the code to tell it "BE LOUD AGAIN."

I understand that.
Just wondering why the the volume rocker or any other volume setting will not adjust the system volume level unless I install this third party app.
I've not had this issue with my android devices and this feature is adjustable on my Captivate and Nexus S.
So I've had this tablet for about a couple of months, and the sound was fairly loud. However, after I decided to factory reset the device, the sound became considerably quieter. I tried listening to some music but it was barely audible. This is also happening with touch sounds, notification sounds, etc. I have to put my ear right next to the speaker in order for me to hear the sounds. Is there a possible fix for this problem?
s,
hi, did you expand volume panel to check all volume sliders?
click the setting icon, you have three sliders
notifications, media and system
alternately, plug in ear phones then unplug, that works sometimes.
I had slightly opposite problem after a factory reset on this tab, the sound was too loud, crackling speakers.

I checked all volume sliders and they are all at maximum volume. I tried the earphone thing, but it didn't work. Is there anything else that I could try?

s,
The only thing left i can think of is in running factory reset you broke maybe a scipted/configuration between
kernel and module, or something written back into /data after reset is carrying the wrong setting, [configuration file]
Look at accessibility section in settings for a sound boost option, you may need to use samsung services to download/deploy
additional accessibility applications. Install a custom recovery and make a backup of your system as it is before you do anything else.
Make a backup to external card as well. There are a few repacked stock roms for flashing via recovery, try one of them out.
