I've noticed that sometimes the max volume of the ringer isn't what is normally the max volume.
I think there is something on the phone that is altering the volume, then when you exit that app, the phone thinks that the lower volume is now the maximum volume.
For example,
I boot the phone and volume is ok.
I run the FM radio, and lower the volume.
I then turn off the radio, and return the phone to max volume.
The max volume is now nowhere near where it used to be, and doesn't go back to normal until I do a reboot of the phone.
I'm not suggesting it is the radio doing this, its just an example, I need to try all my apps to see what might be doing it.
Anyone else experienced this? Maybe its an easy fix, or am doing something wrong myself.
Edited to add:
This is something to do with the radio. Phone on max volume, plugged in the headphones and launched the radio. Lowered the volume using the rocker. Unplugged the headphones and went back to the home screen. Tried increasing the volume and already as max, but much lower than it was before launching the radio.
I had a similar experience last week, the volume on the notifications was so low I could barely hear it sitting at my desk with the phone in front of me. But I rebooted and never saw the issue again. I do use the radio, so maybe it's related.
i to have knoticed this, ive turned the volume down for something then its also turned the ringtone volume down
I mailed support about it.
Also managed to crash the phone just by maxing out the ringer, plugging in the headphones, then lowering the ringer. The volume adjustment window just stayed on screen and didnt respond to pressing the rocker, even though I could see the sound profile widget changing in the background to vibrate and silent when i reached those points. Removing the headphones didnt do anything, with headphone icon still showing in notifcations bar.
Tried to reboot, but wouldn't even respond to that. Had to remove battery.
I have also experienced this issue. Being one of those who had the DHD from 18th October, I have noticed that the audio volume does indeed get affected when using the FM radio or the HTC Music app. Also Vplayer app caused this issue as well as actually 'crashing' my audio all together - sometimes after using Vplayer I had no audio at all unil I restarted.
I now solely use Car Tunes app for my audio and have had no problems at all. Also using Quick settings with everything turned up to Max I think the audio isnt too bad. Previously I thought there was a serious issue with audio, but Im starting to think it maybe just down to specific apps - I now use CoPilot also and have to turn the volume down as it so loud (in another thread I noted that SatNav was unusable because of not being able to hear anything)
Got a response from HTC, although it reads like a default 'do a hard reset' reply, which I'm not happy about doing.
What the hell is this problem now? Will problems about DHD not end one day?
I've had this problem once.. and come to think of it, it happened when I just got the phone, and I did use fm radio just to play around with it.. not another bug surely?
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
Also got this issue. Dont even need to lower the volume during radio playing. Just on/off radio and the main volume is "set" low. Quotes because the volume control didnt changed...
Reboot is working but its not the best solution :/
I'm having a similar problem.
Yesterday i putted my volume to zero while i was eating with my mom.
After increased it to max, the sound while typing an sms is very low.
Rebooting doesn't help, all volume settings are set to max, but the sms sound while typing is lower then it was before.
The tricks in this topic also couldn't solve the problem.
Sorry for my bad English
I know of this issue. Dolby/srs has been enabled on your phone. It should disable when you unplug your headphones but for done reason it doesn't always disable. It can be disabled manually but can't for the life of me remember the menu path for this.
Sent from my Desire HD by magic.
i got the same problem today, had to put rockplayer into mute (lowest media volume) but then somehow (after several hours till i noticed) , notifications (sms,emails) went mute too
anyone found a solution to this yet ? cos this is annoying tbh
Why don't you use tasker to automatically set the volume to max after exiting said music applications? Should work as a short term fix anyway.
This issue happened with me as well. I set the volume to max when playing angry birds but noticed it was nowhere near as loud as i remember it being before. Rebooted the phone and fixed. This is a strange issue. I wonder when HTC will roll out a fix.
Hi All,
I had kind of a similar problem, i noticed that the keypad tones was very low and the screen lock 'click' was almost silent. However, sound settings were at Max.
I downloaded Quick Settings from Android Market and found that System Volume was at 2 of 7. I increased this to 7 of 7 and all is ok now.
Maybe this will work for some.

it worked mate. thank you very much
i keep my phone on vibrate all day at work. i also listen to music. i use klipsch S4a II's with the android specific in-line button. if i just use my headphones to listen to music, everything is fine. but as soon as i press the inline button to pause or double click to skip a track, my phones sound profile changes itself from vibrate to ringer. needless to say, if im not paying attention and i unplug my headphones and get up from my desk, my phone is no longer on vibrate and has rung at inappropriate times in a meeting. my note2 used to do this but fixed itself at some point. not sure if it was a software update that fixed it or a setting somewhere. ive looked all over and i dont see anything on the note3 to adjust to change this behavior. anyone else with this problem?
i guess im the only one with this problem then?
I think this is a problem across all g3 cm12 tons for d855 (can't vouch for other variants)
After about 60% volume on Bluetooth which is safe volume comfortable to listen to, however pressing volume up after this level it goes dead silent and fades in to over 100% volume which is deafaningly loud, have to reduce two levels of volume in order to stop the loud fade in.
Same also applies to the speaker, on alarms on 70% volumes it jumps to almost double the loudness, both become very very distorted anyone else getting this problem?
I'd normally do a bit more research but I'm working long hours this week and thought I'd make people aware if they haven't seen it.
Off topic note - what is up with XDA ads! XDA premium isn't loading so using the website, it just redirects without clicking any ads all the time doesn't even open in a new tab have to go back two or three pages, happens on all androidroms official or not
More issues..

I have the same issue when my Android Wear brings volume down on my phone when I speak a voice command.. When the volume come back instead of going back to the volume it was at it just increases volume of the music at a steady rate. Doesnt actually increase the setting volume but happens in the background. Touching volume control stops it and jumps back to the actual volume. Also happens when I use Google now.
If others can confirm it's fully consistent. Happens every time.

I didnt get a chance to test bluetooth again, but i noticed it happened on my alarm too, using timely it slowly gets louder, then all of the sudden fades to REALLY loud and distorted! (im hoping it wont blow the speaker)
I have the same Issue running CM12 on Note 4. Waiting for a fix.
Hello. I'm having serious problems with the speaker on my Nexus 5X (bought it 20-30 days ago), updated to Android Nougat 7.
What happens is that, at random times, the speaker won't work at all. No alarms, notification, music etc. Even the Youtube app won't be able to play any video during that time.
It sometimes fixes itself, randomly. Also, ifi reboot the device, the speaker will start working again.
Is this a hardware or software issue? Any fix?

I have been experiencing the same issue. My speaker usually goes out, but randomly when the battery is low it starts working again. I have tried soundabout and it works only if a headphone is inputted. Some people use Pressy i know, but too much of a hastle. Any new workaround for this issue. This is my second nexus 5x the last one burned out after firmware update, and now just powers on for a few seconds and auto shuts off.
I still think its a great phone, just wish the speaker issue could be resolved. Thought I'd come to the community for like minded
Note: I've also done the alcohol cleaning for the headphone port, and replacing the whole speaker unit with my burned out unit. All failed
What happens when you press the volume buttons during that time?
Sometimes my Media volume is silent until I change the volume, but it has never affected system sounds only Media.

Nothing happens when i toggle the volume buttons
Haven't seen this specific issue answered yet - if its a duplicate somewhere a point to the right thread would be appreciated.
For whatever reason over the last couple months, the volume on my pixel 2xl will jump way up (or way down) when on bluetooth either after a call or after using google assistant. It doesn't seem to happen everytime, but just now I was listening to music on my bluetooth headphones at my desk and got a call. I took the call on the headphones by answering the phone and then as soon as I hung up, the volume on the phone shot up to 100% which was not enjoyable.
This also happens when connected to my truck (Ford SYNC) or my running earbuds, and it can also crank the media volume way down (happens frequently in the truck) after a call, at which point I have to manually adjust the volume again. The same activity also happens if I activate google assistant and issue a voice command, but in both cases it is not 100% consistent. It appears like the system is trying to dynamically change the volume for some perceived situation, but it sucks at it.
I also use A2DP app for volume control settings and app launching for all my connections, but I have used that since I got this phone 2 years ago and none of the settings have changed.
Anyone had similar behavior and found a fix? It is really annoying when my music goes so low that I can't even hear it in the truck after a call, and equally annoying when I have headphones on and it cranks the volume up and tries to blow out my eardrums.
