Disable Bluetooth sound limit? - OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers

So I have OOS 5.0.4 with bluspark I use a lot my Bluetooth headphones but when I'm trying to increase the volume little more than medium using the Bluetooth's buttons the volume is not increasing. Is there any way to fix that?
Using phone's buttons to increase volume is working just fine.

Try going to developer options and enable the "disable absolute volume" option.

Graphic equalizer

I listen to the internet radio through the loudspeaker, never with earphones. Consequently I can't use the audiobooster so I was wondering, is there a standalone graphic equalizer that will work without having headphones attached? I use Wunder Radio.
Also, as a secondary issue, the volume control is a problem. I have to use the up/down volume control on the side of the handset but this means that when I lower the radio volume (even the lowest setting is way too loud), my system volume is then on super-quiet setting after I've closed my radio....and I don't hear my text alerts etc.
Is there a way to adjust the volume in apps without adjusting the phone volume settings?
I'm not sure about the graphic equalizer but you can sort your sound issue by going to Settings>Sound & Display and switching the Single volume setting to off. That will allow you to change system sounds (including the volume of your radio software) without affecting the ring volume.
Use SRS WOW. Search it.

Sorry for the stupid question, but which application do you use for internet radio? Thanks, and happy holidays!

It is precisely the system volume which is my problem, this governs text alert notifications amongst other things. Once you have set system volume levels in the sounds menu, they should stay 'set'. I don't like this ability to adjust them using the volume control on the side of the handset - that should be reserved solely for in-call volume adjustments and application volume adjustments.

[Q] Volume: Expand Setting Steps?

I've been running Sacs V3 Rom for a month now...awesome Rom! The one thing that keeps annoying me and may not have anything to do with the ROM itself is that the volume levels are way too loud and don't allow for fine volume control. Is there a way to expand the volume step levels beyond the standard 7 for more fine control? Or is there a way to decrease the volume beyond the lowest level? Even at the lowest setting the ringtone startles me every time my phone rings because it's so loud (changing the ringtone doesn't help).
I have tried various volume control apps but either they don't change the fine volume step control, or they just plain don't work. "Fine Volume Control V2" works about the best because it gives 1% steps but it is very buggy and the volume settings don't "stick". I have also tried using the Xposed Installer with XVolume, which is supposed to increase the step size from 7 to as much as 45, but that didn't work either.
Any advice or others fine volume control apps I'm missing that would provide more control?
Maybe when you installed you selected the "loud" volume hack rather than the "slight" or "Stock". You could dirty flash and select the stock or slight mod.

I did not see any kind of hack to set the volume level when originally installing the ROM, nor when I tried to dirty flash it.

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.

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.

Absolute Volume Control

Is there any way to disable absolute volume controls, specifically for bluetooth devices that still use the system volume and not it's own independent controls (whether it's an xposed mod, rom, etc.)? I have a pair of powerbeats2 that are useless with any eq because the volume is borked.
There is an option for absolute volume in Android N now.

Love this option. But it keeps turning off for me and have to toggle it again and again.
On Android N, for what it is worth it will stick and work if you set selinux to permissive. Temporary I guess until they fix it.
Here's the issue that's posted to google.

Bluetooth Volume Steps too big

Hey guys, is there a way to customize the volume steps when using the Vol+/- keys? I am using bluetooth headset and the increase per volume + step is way to big, and from 0 (being muted) to +3 is fine, the next step is already way to much, I would like to customize how much of an increase I get when using the volume buttons.
Is that possible without root?
thanks for the help,
cheers
I've had that same issue with my BT speaker, Android N seems to link the volume sliders of the phone and the actual speaker.
Luckily you don't need root to turn this off:
Go to the Developer settings and enable ""Disable max volume", then you're able to have separate volume levels on your smartphone and speaker again.
Cheers

Haven't tried it with bluetooth yet but it should work. This app overrides the default 15 click volume control on android and gives you up to 100 click increments for more fine tuned volume control. Best part is you don't need root.

Found the option! Thanks a lot.
I find that using PowerAmp's Bluetooth setting for "Direct Volume Control" works better than stock since then it adjusts the actual volume of the Bluetooth device rather than the system's output volume.
You have no idea how long i was looking for this solution ("disable max volume").
A thousand thanks!

Can't find absolute volume
This is really upseting. I use this phone just for listening music I have the same problem.
I went to developer options and I don't have the "absolute volume" option avalable. Can anyone help me?
Xperia z3
Android 6.0.1
Thank you very much. It worked on my Xiaomi mi9
Disabling absolute volume in developer settings was really helpful for me. I had a problem with my s20 Ultra because when using bluetooth earphones the volume steps were too big and there were too consecutive steps where the volume was either too quiet or too loud. Now I can control the volume in a finer way.
