Adjust increment value for volume up/down

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??

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.

I'm guessing a software volume controller
and using a button mapper
could get around this

[GUIDE] Lower the overall sound volume of your HTC ONE

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

Too loud minimum volume in headphones.

Hello.
I have a problem with oneplus two.
The minimum level of volume in the headphones is too loud (very).
I have root + xposeed not afraid to change system files (if they are safe), but I would not want to play in changing kernels, etc.
Any suggestions?

Do you have the audio effects turned on? If so, try turning them off, you'll see that the volume will immediately drop significantly.

when I turned on the audio effects for music it is VERY too loud, when it is turned off is just too loud

Anyone else have any idea?

up

Gravity Box [LP] from xposed
Media Tweaks > More music volume steps
You can add up to a total of 50 steps, allowing for lower volumes.

I use already 50 steps but it does not change the minimum and maximum values only those in between.
So it is still too loud

This is not true...
The minimum volumes are:
Stock - %6.6 (repeating) of the Max
50 steps - %2 of the Max
Though if it is still too loud or not for you is a different story.

I have no reason to disbelieve you
But the problem still is.

No worries... If the above isn't satisfactory, this option should solve your issue, but.... will have to change kernels.
If you are running OOS 2.2.0:
Flash boeffla kernel beta 19:
Here
Install the boeffla config app:
Here
Open boeffla config app
Grant root access
Goto Boeffla-sound tab
Turn on switch
Slide the volume sliders until acceptable

Other than that...
I read of an app that is in the app store that may also be able to solve your issue called Fine Volume Control v2. It's not free and I can't confirm that it will do what you need.

Solved: Bluetooth volume defaults to maximum on each new connection

I have found that each time that I connect my bluetooth audio devices to the phone the volume resets to the loudest setting. The change seems to happen as soon as I start audio the first time after connecting. When I adjust the volume I can see momentarily that it was on a lower setting and then it jumps all the way up to maximum. This has happened with three different brands of headsets. It does not happen with wired earbuds. An app called "Bluetooth Volume Control" will automatically adjust the volume based on the bluetooth device connected. This work reasonably well but not 100% so far. Any thoughts or suggestions are appreciated.
Edit: I found a solution for this. In the developer options under the "Networking" heading, there is an option to "Disable absolute volume." Turning this option on allows the volume to stay where I put it.

Well, I love having mine maxed out every time. I had the Nexus6p which did something much more annoying. It would always set the Bluetooth volume to the middle and then I would have to turn it all the way up every time. I set up a Tasker option, but like your app, it didn't work 100% of the time either.

In the past it would have been less of an issue but the combination of the new phone and my newest bluetooth set means that half way is ear damaging. My older sets were less so but are still uncomfortably loud.

My god, I hope no one else complains about this. I can't stand devices that default to a safe volume limit. FYI, when connected via BT, the phone volume is software based and what ever device you are using is hardware based. It is ALWAYS recommended to max out the software volume and then use the hardware (actual device) volume to adjust to your preference. On other phones I would always have to readjust both volumes, not fun. OnePlus does it right.

Not all bluetooth earbuds have volume controls. It would be nice to just have the volume stay where I put it. That would be the "right" way. you could leave it high I could leave it lower.

So I found this. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.phascinate.precisevolume&hl=en
It allows granular control over volume, presets for different devices, boosting or reducing the overall volume... etc.
For example, in my car maximum volume is preferred because I would rather use the volume control on the dash, however my wireless earbuds have no volume control and this newest pair have a truly ridiculously loud maximum volume, and I want them to default to about 50 percent. This app lets me set up separate presets for each.
It also lets you adjust the maximum volume and the rate of change when you use the volume controls. This was useful also.
free to use with ads but it is $2.99 to make it useful though.
I think that is problem solved but I wish that I didn't need an app to prevent an automatic volume change. It isn't about loud or soft. It is the fact that I put it where I want it and the phone changes it. In my case these headphones are capable of such loud volumes that starting soft would be preferable.
Here are the headphones by the way. A bit expensive but very worth it.

The Jams are way better than both in every respect.

Finally found a real solution. In the developer options, under the "Networking" section, there is an option to "Disable absolute volume." turning this option on allows the volume to stay where I put it.

Thanks for the solution! I've been having the opposite problem, i. e. every time I connected my Bluetooth earplugs the volume was always at the minimum. Now it's working fine.

I noticed this and had it on but I turned it off, then I noticed that the volume was not staying like it did when I used other bluetooth earbuds. After reading your post, I then reenabled the option and works nicely. I got the IdeaUSA v203 headphones today, and I was trying to keep the volume about the same via bluetooth and aux cable, in-case I ran out of battery and need to plug in aux to use headphones. This works perfectly for me. I use Poweramp and nicely done for this. It says up to 40 hours playback but I think with the way I got it might give me a few hours less playback but I am willing to sacrifice for volume. One reason I love Oreo or higher OS now. My S7 Edge is nice with this.:good:

THANKS! Worked for me!

I have 'disable absolute volume' ON and i still have this problem. Its a very big problem, because having music defaulted to large scares the me so much and also is causing damage to my ears.

Same here. Toggling that did nothing at all.
My issue was that if I took a phone call while any media was playing, when I hung up on the call the media volume would jump to max and playback would resume which DESTROYED my ears.
My solution was to uninstall the Samsung Sound Assistant app and then rebooting my S9. (Because the behavior persisted until rebooted after the uninstall.) That fixed the issue entirely. I miss the functionality of Sound Assistant so I might try reinstalling to see if it works itself out but for now having the problem fixed is very nice.

bluetooth too loud: how I fixed it

Per the advice here: https://eu.community.samsung.com/t5...lume-problem-after-S7-oreo-update/td-p/565981
I went to Settings >> Sounds and Vibration >> Sound Quality and Effects >> Equaliser.
Here I used a headset to change the adapt sound option to set a custom level for left and right ears. An option to specify preferred bluetooth ear is given.
You can also use the equalizer to slide the volume level down, that seems to help. But I don't think you can do that *and* use the Adapt Sound settings at the same time.
