I am familiar with the "Music, Video, Games, & Other Media," setting within the Volume menu in settings. I have that set to just under max. My issue is that when I listen to music in my car or on my bluetooth headphones the volume almost always starts at the minimum level and I am forced to manually turn it up. It seems to be related to when the phone's ringer is set to vibrate but it has also happened when the ringer is on high. My previous smartphone was an iphone 4 and on that phone the bluetooth music volume had nothing to do with the ringer settings. Part of my frustration is that it's not a consistent problem, occasionally the music volume defaults to what I have it set to in the settings menu. Any help is greatly appreciated.

I recently received a replacement Galaxy Nexus (my original power button broke). I am having an issue with the new phone where my old phone worked fine--and I think I have found a solution that may help others if they are having this problem.
When listening to media, either music via PowerAmp or podcasts via DoggCatcher, the ringtone for an incoming call is reduced to a point that is almost inaudible. I can tell there is an incoming call, because the media stops, but that is unacceptable. If I stop the media but keep the ringer at the same volume, an incoming call rings at a much louder (and satisfactory volume). For some reason, playing media is reducing the volume of the ringtone.
I found a solution that seems to be working for me. I noticed that while adjusting volumes in the volume settings control panel, the volume would be reduced but adjusting the volume would return it to normal. To solve the problem I set up a tasker profile that will adjust the volume on the event of an incoming call. The tasker profile looks like this:
Context: Event > Phone Ringing, Hardware > Headset Plugged (otherwise I think this would make vibrate worthless)
Task: Ringer Volume: Level 2 (anything else seems much too loud, but I will have to try it out).
Anyone else having this problem? Know the cause? Other solutions?
I'm noticing some issues with the media volume. In short, there are times I can get the phone in a state where media is playing, volume is all the way down, and when I hit volume-up ONCE it goes to full volume (over bluetooth). This is not very pleasant when playing media over a bluetooth speaker in the morning and it goes full volume.
Steps to replicate:
1. With media NOT playing and bluetooth disconnected use the volume rocker bring up volume menu.
2. Expand the volume menu to show media volume, select any volume then select minimum/off volume.
3. Turn the bluetooth speaker on and wait for it to connect
4. Start playing music (in my case google play music) - no sound is emitted from bluetooth speaker
5. Hit volume rocker UP - sound level jumps to last known bluetooth volume + 1
If I leave the media volume alone while media is NOT playing, then everything works fine. It's the moment I adjust that volume when it doesn't have priority on the volume rocker.
When media is NOT playing, I noticed that the media volume (in the menu that appears when changing volume) doesn't always match what is under SETTINGS>SOUND & NOTIFICATION. I think this might be a related issue.
Anyone else experience this issue?
Hello,
I don't know if it's just me but has anyone ever experienced volume increasing and decreasing when switching applications?
Whenever I'm listening to music on Poweramp I would normally need to set the volume to 85 percent in order to have a comfortable listening experience, when I switch to YouTube it gets deafening loud! When I switch back to Poweramp it goes wayyyy down... is this a feature if so can it be disabled?
Thanks
Not certain, but it could be related to the Media Volume Limiter? It's under Sounds, Volume, then hit the 3 dot menu. Adjust the limiter or turn it off. Not sure if it would help or not.

I am having an issue where when attached to my Bluetooth in my car I can not adjust my in-call volume in my phone. It gets stuck at 50%. I can adjust media volume no problem when playing music and can adjust the in-call volume in other Bluetooth devices like my buds+ and galaxy watch.
Any ideas how to fix this? It results in either very quiet call volume or when the call ends the music is crazy loudly.
I have this same issue.
Me too
Don't suppose anyone has managed to resolve this yet? It's still happening with me with Android 11 update.
Disabled absolute volume?
Make sure volume limiter is not enabled.
Clear system cache.
Reset network settings.
I have the same problem on tcl 55p83 ( RT851)
bluetooth max volume is limited to 50%
Any help ?
I have the same issue.... Just figured it was normal to keep distortion or feedback at a minimal?? But, maybe it isn't?
I unchecked the "disable absolute volume" and the volume will go low on Sony wf1000mx4 after playing for awhile. I restarted the phone and the same thing happen after awhile. Anyone has the same issues?
There's two volume controls
One on the earphones and one from the phone itself
I generally set the right hold as volume up, set volume max on the earphones, then adjust the phone media volume, had the same issue till I figured it out

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Thanks, found the issue. It is YouTube music equalizer which is causing the low volume. Turn it off and everything works perfect.
Since we're on the topic I have had a difficult time boosting the absolute volume level on the P6P. Is it not simply a matter of adjusting audio policy? Any ideas? I want my max volume to be 50-100% higher in all areas, ear, speaker, bluetooth
