I was on the train yesterday, listening to my music and blocking out the stench of the rat race, as you do, when my battery died.
I plugged in a portable charger and restarted. Now, the volume on the headphones is on max and I can't adjust it. As I use the volume keys, the standard [Media Volume] bar appears and moves up and down, even down to mute, but the volume in my headphones stays the same.
I do love my tunes banging, but occasionally I would like to go down to 9. Any ideas?
The media volume works with the speaker.
The phone recognises the headset when plugged in.
I have tried different normal headphones without the in-line microphone.
I am using RCMix S v1.1 A2SD+ (which has been awesome up to now)

I've been having a problem where if I connect my phone to my car audio via bluetooth, and use both the music app (MIUI to be exact) and navigation, the navigation sound is EXTREMELY low. And yes, I did turn up the navigation sound to max.
In order to work around this, i have to turn my media volume really low, and then pump up the car audio volume.
I searched through the forums, but did not find a solution to this problem.
Have anyone ever seen this? Is there a fix for this?
Navigation volume is separate, have you tried turning the volume up while the navigation app is in the forefront?
The same thing happens to me on CM7 using Google Listen while connected to my car stereo via the headphone jack. The odd thing is that it's usually normal for the first 1 or 2 instructions and then it goes all weird. I have the nav volume maxed out... No idea why it happens. I've given up and just muted the nav sound and look at the screen periodically.
Connect your phone to a stereo with a standard 3.5mm audio cable and set media volume to max. Play some music, eject the cable, plug it back in, resume playing music. For some reason the audio volume is automatically lowered. Increasing it back to max works just fine but you do get a notification saying "Loud music may harm your hearing if you listen to it for a long time" while you do that.
I only listen to music in my car using aux 3.5mm. I control volume using the headunit and this "feature" is annoying as heck.
Any way to disable the volume auto-lowering?
thats the way all of them work, also was the same on old galaxy s device. happens on ipad also.
i think the reason is they dont want you blowing your brains out when you plug your headphones in if you forgot to turn down the media volume before you unplugeed them
I've been in HTC world for past 5 years and never had a need for such feature... all I'm trying to figure out is how to disable this on my new sammy
I listen via the 3.5 port in my car and can confirm the original Epic 4G did NOT behave this way. (At least not when running stock--Voodoo drivers did do this by default but you could override them.)
It pisses me off too and the NS4G never did this when I had it. I can live with it but just annoying.
I solved it through tasker. Not elegant, but it works.
true, also a hack... solves one problem but creates another. when i DO use headphones i set volume low and taking 3.5mm out and back in resets volume to max. ouch
i wonder if there is a way in Tasker to simply re-set volume to whatever it was just before 3.5mm was inserted.
Yea, you can do this. Create a variable to hold the volume, update it whenever the media volume is changed. When headphones are plugged it, just set the volume based on the variable. Imo, this wouldn't help much though. If you insist on playing media at max volume through your car, you're still going to blow up your ears when you plug in headphones.
I'd recommend setting the volume offset on your stereo (slack on some radios, I think) to be ideal when the phone is at the reduced volume. This is what I do.

the issue at hand is a bit more complex. consider this scenario:
i'm in a car driving and someone calls me.
i pop out the 3.5mm and answer the call.
once done talking, i pop 3.5mm back in and resume music.
now the volume is NOT what it was since sgs2 lowered it automatically trying to "save" my hearing.
similar story happens when i get out of my car for few minutes and upon coming back in i constantly have to turn the volume back up.
changing the in-car headunit volume is not helping since my cell is not the only device used there. there is built-in radio, built-in cd player, other portable players, etc that i (and others) use. no need to tweak main system just because one of many devices is being an #!$le about media volume.
ugh, still looking for a right solution. i'll go ahead and try to mess with tasker but that will be just patching the problem, not solving it

I have installed Resurrection Rom v. 5.8.2 on N5110 it works very well.
I am using Samsung 3 buttons headset and only rarely I am able to use the control buttons Volume Up/Down and Start/Stop.I can only listen the audio.
The few times that worked it was with the tablet in sleep mode, I connected the headphones and when the screen turned on, all the buttons worked fine and correctly mapped.
The buttons will keep working until the headphones are unplugged or the device restarted.
Most of the times when the headphone are plugged in, I can only listen the audio but no control buttons.
A strange thing : I turned on the headset notification in the status bar. When the headphones are connected and the headset icon is on , no control buttons, just audio. When the headphones are connected and no headset icon, everything works perfectly.
Has anyone experienced this problem on the tablet ?
I tested the headphones and everything works fine on other phones.
I also tried other 2 types of headphones and same results : Audio always working, only about 5 percent of the times the headphones buttons are working.
I am going crazy with this. Any suggestions will help !
Thanks
I just bought this off of amazon and it arrived today. (It's a $25 Soundpeats bluetooth headphone).
After pairing it with my XL, I am greeted with trash sound quality when playing some music on Spotify. The headphone would distort when I'm turning up the volume via my phone. In no way am I blasting the volume (it's at 50% and it's still distorting like crazy). At first I thought it might've been a ViPER issue and turned off all the effects that I had on previously. Still no luck.
Next, I tried lowering the volume via phone and increased the volume of the headphone itself all the way.. And that's when I realized that the volume between the headphone and system were synced up. Whenever I increased the volume via headphone, the system volume would increase as well. Is there a way to keep the headphone volume and system media volume separate? Or is this something built-in with the headphones?
I tried pairing the headphones with my brother's Galaxy S8+, and volume controls for the headphones and system were separate! I turned the headphone volume all the way to max and controlled the volume mainly via the phone. Played a couple of songs off his S8+ using Spotify as well and I was able to achieve way better sound quality and louder volumes without distortion at all.
I figured that this might be software specifically related to the Pixel that's causing this. Anyone happen to have any ideas on what I could possibly do?
I'm trying to adopt to Bluetooth to be ready for the 2 XL, but so far the transition has been nothing but frustration.
Any help is greatly appreciated!
I use Volume Butler from the playstore, it works great for exactly what you are describing.
I have noticed that when either connected to Bluetooth headphones or streaming to my car stereo that I am having to turn the volume up to nearly 90% just to get a reasonable volume.
Any work around for this ?

Yea I have a pair of wireless beatsx, but those headphones are junk anyway. Can not get them "loud". Maybe its the phone/bluetooth..
I noticed the same thing when I first paired the 7t with my car's BT. I don't consider it a problem because all I had to do was raise the volume on the car radio, and it remembered the setting. But I'm only listening to navigation prompts and voice phone calls. I haven't tried it with music.
Anyone solved this problem?
While using headphones or any audio-bt devices connected to oneplus 7t i can get only around 70-80% of max device volume.
My bluetooth can get painfully loud on any system... Are you sure you are not facing to sets of volume controls?
Some "dumb" headphones / speakers just have one output volume and you control loudness via the phone volume. Others have their own volume processing (like a car stereo). If you max out your phone volume then you can control the loudness via the stereo.
Numerous times I've been in the car and can't figure out why I need to turn the stereo volume up so high only to realize I've bumped the phone volume to a low setting.
