I'm using HD2 with a Jabra BT3030 bluetooth headset and the problem is that even with the lowest volume setting on Jabra the volume is too loud making my ears hurt.
I can work around this by editing the audio files' volume on my computer before transferring them to my phone but that means some extra work so I was wondering if it's possible to change the volume through some registry tweaks on HD2?
I found the bluetooth settings at HKLM/Software/Microsoft/Bluetooth but can't seem to find anything regarding volume levels.
Is changing the volume possible at all?
Same here! HD2 + BT3030. Voicecall volume is ok, by pressing the volume button on BT3030 the volume control on HD2 is popping up and works as it should.
But if ur listening to music, the BT3030 internal volume control gets back in action, and the lowest setting is still too loud. Changing volume with hardware buttons on HD2 is showing the volume bar but doesnt change the volume.
Any solutions?
I do have the same problem. After testing my HD2 one day with BT3030 I would say all is prefect apart from this issue mentioned and unfortunately this is currently a NO-GO to me. I love my BT3030 and don't want give it away.
A little bit of tweaking maybe will bring some light at the end of the tunnel
Cheers,

I have the opposite issue with a Plantronics headset: the volume is too too low!
Can you help me?
Thanks in advance
I have the Philips BT Headset.
Volume is very high to start with.
The volume buttons don't respond very well ... but if you hold them down, the volume does eventually change to a sensible level. It will go up and down ... just need to be patient.

Have to push this thread because this problem is killing me. I have a Sony-Ericsson HBH-IS800 headset and everything worked perfect with my Touch HD, but now it's useless for me if I can't change the Music volume.
Any solutions for this problem???
Just found out that the volume controls of the CorePlayer can change the volume
Tried it also with Nitrogen, Windows Media and the Manila Music Player, but CorePlayer is the only one that can change the volume for my Bluetooth headset
/HKLM/software/widcomm/plugin/av >> all the volume settings should be there. try to play with it.
Only found one interesting point: DisableRcVolumeControl. Setting it to 0 ends in a message "the connected BT-headset doesn't support volume control. control the volume on the headset itself".
That's BS, i can control the volume over headset in phonecalls and even if no application is opened it controls the system volume. So still no solution found

I guess you managed in:
menu>tools>settings>Audio page
the Volume and Preamp settings???
How did you set them?
I have a HD2 and BT3030.. Same problem with volume level.
I have tried with Coreplayer as suggest. I cannot turn down the volume on the BT3030, but turning it down in Coreplayer will lower the volume level.
I really hope for a tweak here.
It seems to be the bluetooth connections/software interface that is doíng something wrong.
still playing around with it...
If Coreplayer is player with low volume it will be low volume in the BT3030.
Pressing Play on the BT3030 will start manilla, with low volume as well... unfortunately with the sound from both coreplayer and manilla player. As long as coreplayer is playing (not running) manilla volume will be low. As soon as coreplayer is munted or stopped the volume on the manilla will go up.
Hope this can help some smart tweakers....
I found a similar thread here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-424565.html
they tweaked with theres files:
Using a registry editor, I've changed the following key values:
HKLM\Software\HTC\AudioManager_Eng\Config\music_pl ayer_volumn --> 20 (default: 100)
HKLM\Software\HTC\AudioManager_Eng\Information\vol umn --> 20 (default: 100)
It seems that the default volume level of the HTC player (aka manilla player; I am not right?) is too loud.
I will try and play with this within the next couple of days..

I've just changed the volume at the lower right corner of the home screen of CorePlayer.
Btw it's the same setting as menu>tools>settings>Audio page>Volume.
Preamp is 0, and Volume is at 30.
I am also having a problem controlling the volume when using my SE HBH-DS200 bluetooth headset. Coreplayer's volume control works, but s2p's does not.
It looks like Coreplayer has its own independent volume control, seperate from the system volume. The other media players (s2p, and at a guess all the others mentioned in this thread) use the system volume.
the problem seems to be that the bluetooth audio connection is ignoring the system volume setting. Anyone have an idea of how we can fix this?
Would like to find a solution as well.
I have a Samsung WEP420 BT headset and the volume is too low. I can barely hear the other calling party specially with some surrounding noise.
We need to approach HTC on this issue, it is a obvious bug in the Widcomm bluetooth stack, I had previous Widcomm based HTC phones with the same headsets that had no issues.
This is a copy of my email to HTC, feel free to email them and add any pertinent info:
There is a serious bug with the Widcomm Bluetooth Stack on the HTC HD2. It is impossible to change the volume of any Bluetooth Stereo headset from the phone.
This is critical as most bluetooth stereo headsets do not have a built in volume control and they rely on the phone for volume adjustment.
This makes my HD2 useless as the volume on my bluetooth headset (Sony Ericsson HBH-IS800, or Jabra BT3030) is at %100 all the time.
Please address this issue with a software patch or a system firmware update.
My HTC Nexus One does not suffer from this issue, and previous Widcomm based HTC phones I have owned did not suffer from this bug.
Thanks
Great. Thanks. Hope HTC will really come out with a patch soon!
Here is HTC's reply:
Hello G, I understand how frustrating it can be when a device does not function as expected. I have tested this complaint and found that our test device exibits the same behavior. Adjusting any volume levels on the device itself does not affect the volume output of the headset, with the exception of setting the Windows Media Player Mobile volume to 0%, which will stop audio from coming out of the headset all together. There are no planned patches for the HD2 at this time, but I will submit your concern on this issue to our feedback department for condsideration in any updates that may enter development in the future. If you have any further questions or concers, please feel free to contact us again or check www.htc.com as well. We also invite you to participate in our feedback survey at survey.htc.com/worldwide. We enjoy getting feedback from our customers and look forward to hearing from you. Best regards, Joseph
We need to step this up if we ever want it fixed, everyone needs to send a suport request to HTC so that they understand that this is a major issue.

Does anyone know if you can use headphones made for the iPhone with a Focus? The headphones that come with it are actually decent, but I'd like to upgrade and every set of headphones with an inline mic are made for iPhones. All I really need working is the microphone and volume control; the extra pause button isn't a big deal.
I just tried a Apple volume-enabled set of headphones and the play/pause/call button worked but not the volume control.
The mic and headphones work great though.
The headphones that come with the Focus have volume control on them, so maybe other non-Apple branded headphones would work with volume control.
Thanks for checking that. I guess it's not so bad to have the volume not working since the buttons on the device work with the screen off.
I picked up some cheap iFrogz Luxe and the work fine.
No volume control but the mic and pause worked OK.

I also picked up a set of Etymotic MC3's and they didn't work worth a damn.

Hi
I just got a Bose MIE2 headset. Sound is soft and buttons don't work (just makes the sound a bit louder). I installed the Voodoo control + app. This solved the volume issue but obvioulsy not the button problem. I thought this headset was compatible with the Galaxy S?
Any solutions for this?
Thanks Steven
there are two model, mie2 and mie2i, the one come with volume+/- suppose to work with apple ipod/iphone only, the general one don't have the volume+/- button
I have the regular mie2. Just one button to take calls and start/end songs. Button does nothing though.
then may be not compatible with i9000. I just try 2 similar headset on i9000, both cannot control play/stop, but working with Milestone.
Confirming compatibility issue with Bose MIE2. Normally plays very silent, but while holding key on headset - normally.

Hi all, I was wondering if anyone knows of a way to boost bluetooth playback volume. I have beats wireless studio headphones and they are definitely not as loud as they were when using them with my g3 on CM12. I do remember them being this low on the stock lg rom but when I switched over to CM the sound drastically increased. I am looking for a no root solution if possible as I am stock for the time being. I can't even feel any bass from these things and that's what they are supposed to be for lol. Any help is appreciated, thank you!
Interesting. CM12 killed my BT volume on my HAM2. I find BT audio to be just as loud as other devices I have. One thing I've noticed is that BT max volume seems louder if I make sure volume is maxed out before pairing, especially on devices that take over phone volume controls.
Unpair the headphones. Turn phone volume to maximum. Turn headphones volume to maximum. Then pair.
I'm interested as well the mixer_paths would be where we need to look but they look different than I've seen before. I've found a mod from 2014 I'll report back.

Hey guys

How is that with your device?

I don't have this issue. Maybe because I linked volumes on gravity box and xposed rooted my device.
Sent from my Star-Tac
Somebody else having the same issue?
I am having the same issue with my S7 running Android 6.0.1 (unrooted). I am unable to control the UE BOOM 's device volume, even though it should have been supported. Same problem on Jabra Soulmate.
A friend has a Sony Z3 (or Z4) and when he is using the volume buttons on the phone, it adjusts the Bluetooth device' s volume instead of it being two separate volumes (control on both phone and speaker). IPhone and Mac also has this function. I am beginning to think this is a problem with Samsung's software, since it is actually working on other android phones. Does any one have a fix or can confirm my theory?
Thanks.
Did anybody find a solution for controlling the device volume over Bluetooth?
I too come from Xperia Z3 and I really hate Samsung for messing this up. What could be the benefit of having separate volumes?
