For one, on MM it used to glitch and stop for a very brief second each time I would listen to music and turn off the screen. On N, it doesn't do that anymore. That would be enough for me.
On the other hand, and this might only be a placebo effect, to me audio seems cleaner than it used to be on MM. Also maximum volume has increased.

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

Have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling Netflix since you've updated to 4.2.2?

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.

anyone experience like this?
Do you have any apps installed that control the volume on their own?

Then I have no idea, sorry. My other guess would be is that you're accidentally pressing the volume key in you pocket or something without realizing it. You could try factory resetting the phone. It can sometimes fox weird issued like yours.

have u check the adaptive option under the settings->sound->adapt sound?
Could it be that the adaptive sound is processing at certain point of time trying to give you the best sound that its think of?
Yes, I have experienced this under the following conditions:
-Phone just purchased, unrooted, completely stock. Playing music with PowerAmp with and without the EQ/Tone/Limit features, also happened with stock music app. The effect nearly blew out my eardrums once, but it happened several times. Music would play and very suddenly there would be a violent increase in sound, almost as if an EQ crashed. Sound went back to normal after I pressed the volume rocker in either direction. I am not so sure that this has to do with Adaptive Sound because I remember experiencing the same problem before and after i configured it. Overall, incredibly annoying and dangerous for my ears.
-Phone rooted, Viper4Android installed as a user app. The same problem happens using PowerAmp, Xenoamp and stock music app, but the increase is not so violent (not sure why, yet). Marginally tolerable, but still very annoying.
I have not found a fix yet, but still keeping an eye open.
That being said, my phone has music playing almost all day every day so I probably encounter the problem more often than others. I use earbuds, headphones and my car stereo. There is a Droid-Life.com review that mentions the issue and credits it to the phone's audio jack: http://www.droid-life.com/2013/10/01/samsung-galaxy-note-3-review/
See the subsection for Audio Jack Issues. Here is an excerpt:
"Then, after a few minutes without touching anything while at full volume, the volume just explodes and you are left deafened by the surprise volume attack."
I would be interested to see if anyone reports the problem when playing music via the phone's speaker.

[Update] Looks like this is not an isolated issue. My friend's wife also facing the same problem and she sent in to reflash the unit at Samsung Care Center and the problem just disappear. My friend told me factory reset doesn't help though.
I have exactly the same issue you have. Same XXUBMJ1 ans using the device for a month now. Unknown and just reported to Samsung and was asked to walk in to get advice.

Is it possible to increate the volume

Hi guys,
when I use a headset, the volume is most of the time not loud enough for me. Has anyone tried to increase the volume when using a headset? I'd probably root the device (SM-P600) if necessary, but I would not want to use another image then the stock image.
Has anyone experience with this?
EDIT: Typo in the title - but I guess you already figured that out
You will have to root and use viper4android mate really works a treat on all outputs. Works on the inbuilt speakers, headphones and Bluetooth each can be turned on and adjusted independently so don't have to have all on if you don't want. You can keep stock image if you want or try bindroids mega blast rom which has it preinstalled and runs a lot faster and smoother than stock does but still keeping the same look and feel.
You could use a small battery powered external microphone amp

Sometimes the solution can be so easy.
I did not know that there are small headphone amps available, but I bought one now and it solved my issues. The volume is now loud enough.

Thanks! If I will root my device one day, I'll give it definitely a try. I just wanted to avoid rooting in the first 6 months because of warranty issues, but for the moment I have a good intermediate solution.
Yes, change in system/etc/default_gain.conf.

MHC19I Bluetooth Changes

I noticed that after taking the OTA update to MHC19I that the bluetooth volume of a bluetooth audio device is no longer coupled to the android system's media volume.
The volumes used to be decoupled with Android 6.0. When 6.0.1 rolled out, they coupled the volumes. Now they are decoupled again. I'm wondering why they keep going back and forth on these design choices.
Anyway I was wondering if it was just a weird installation glitch with my 6P, or if others are indeed noticing the same behavior on their phones. Thanks for your feedback, guys.
There is no 6.1
I'm sure OP meant 6.0.1.
Same issue on my LG HBS-810.

I'm guessing it's because the coupliing has been problematic. For me, I can't set the volume low enough for a lot of media sources when using Bluetooth headphones. I've been using a buggy equalizer app to bring down the volumes, but I'm happy to hear about the de-coupling. I hope they figure out a better way to do the coupling eventually.

I just updated my 6P and the Bluetooth volume is still coupled to my headset volume. Darn.
I'm using powerbeats 2 bluetooth and they are still coupled. I'm running DU test build with the new vendor. Is there something I need to switch off?
I noticed this yesterday as well. Couldn't figure out why volume changes on my Jaybirds X2 wasn't adjusting the volume on my device. On the one hand, I prefer it as I just boost device volume to max and use the headphones to adjust listening volume. But, on the other, I wish they would stop going back and forth.

I'm actually using the same exact headphones that I'm experiencing this behavior with. Maybe it's just the Jaybird X2 that have this problem with the new update. I haven't had the chance to test this theory with any other bluetooth device, though.

Yeah, I liked it better when the volumes were synced up so it was easy to know what the volume was. But, like some have mentioned higher in the thread, they weren't able to get the volume low enough when the volumes were synced up. Man, this stuff never happens with iPhones. And no, not mine...but my wife has one! Android all the way since inception. But still, it's a tad irksome.
They've been going back and forth with this for years. TBH it's really frustrating. They did the same change when the Nexus 5 came out after the initial build the Nexus 5 shipped with at launch.

Does official LineageOS affect the in-built speaker sound quality?

Since there is no objective way to measure speaker sound quality, I cannot tell for sure but, it kin of feels that the speaker quality is worse with the official LineageOS ROM when compared to the official Samsung ROM. I have turned off the equaliser and the Dolby Atmos in the settings.
Does anyone else who use LineageOS ROM feel the same thing, or am I wrong?
Yes. But recent version has improved it. Still not bassy and rich sounding tho.

That's a shame. Does speakers need a proprietary driver? I wonder what is causing this.
After installing the latest (September) update, I could not feel any sound improvement. So, I reverted the tablet to the stock ROM today. After the initial setup is done, I immediately played the same song that I had played on LineageOS, and yes, it sounded much better.
I had installed LineageOS because it was version 12.1 (12 enhanced for tablet, as far as I know) and Samsung stopped the official ROM at 11. But frankly, I could not find any useful tablet features in 12.1. I at least expected a volume slider (like the one on iPad), but no. The only thing that was remotely useful was double-tap status bar to turn the screen off, but that was LineageOS's feature, not Android 12.1's. Android 11 is still very useable, so I guess I am just going to use the stock ROM. I use tablets mostly for media consumption so bad speaker sound was just not bearable.
Let this be warning to future people who want to install LineageOS. Do not install it unless you don't use internal speakers.
While I never used stock ROM, I noticed some speaker peculiarities while watching youtubes (on NewPipe). I tried to set my volume at a considerate level, not blaring which could annoy others nearby but loud enough to hear. When a speaker started talking in a low voice it inexplicably became completely inaudible. I could not understand what they were saying at all. Then it would get normal or too loud when the speaker spoke up. I had to turn the volume at annoying and unacceptable levels just to hear what was being said.
I tested the videos on another device with the same version of NewPipe and it was not an issue.
DOes anyone with cRdroid rom have this issue? I don't use it much for videos/audio so I don't care too much but reading this thread it seems to be an issue
If you want equalizer you need
PowerAmp Equalizer
It does all multimedia apps but games not yet.

A bit off topic, but I don't think Google has implemented anything particularly useful in Android in a few major versions.

I have been using crDroid 8.10 and I do notice the volume fluctuates, someone in a post said he thought it was magisk 25. I'm not sure yet I'm still looking into it.
