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.

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 have a problem that I do not know if it is Rom related or not. I am using Midnight Journal on and after a few hours my ringer and notification volume gets very very low. I never had this issue before Voodoo Sound and did not know if anyone else is having this issue. If I reboot the phone the volume returns to normal. I also use a2dp bluethooth so I am not sure it is causing the speaker to not work normal when I turn Bluethooth off. Any Ideas?

I am not seeing this on my phone; I am using journaling off though.
Nor do I use Bluetooth.
I'm having a similar issue. After a while my ringtones and notifications won't play (or are so very low I cannot hear them), I must mention though that this only happens with ones I have downloaded. I've also noticed at the same time this happens, I cannot stream any media (video or sound). A reboot of my phone also fixes this. I'm currently running Midnight v5.0 but I've also had this happen on SyndicateROM Frozen.
My problem seems to be when I am on bluethooth the sound will only come through the bluethooth device and not the phone. When I turn the BT off the sound is through the phone but very very low. I have to reboot to get the sound back. It may also be being caused when I am using the headphone jack in the car and after I unplug it. I will have to test this and see if this is the problem. I don't think the speaker is bad because after rebooting the sound is normal again.

What it actually does is misroute the audio through the phone speaker. It is damn annoying.
Just wondering if anyone else is have issues with low speaker volume after updating to 4.3 (Rooted OTA)?
Ever since then, I have noticed that the volume level of the speakers is way lower than before. Specifically, the speakerphone is almost unusable in situations where it was amazing before (like in the car, or a large conference room). Most times, it's like the sound is only coming out of the bottom and not the top.
Anyone else have this issue or have any ideas on what can be done to fix?
Well crap... I guess I am all alone on this one.
Hi guys! I found a very annoing bug on my stock 4.4.2 ITV. After some times i'm listening to my music at a certain volume, the audio randomly drop, so i have to increase the audio by 3/4 step...
Anyone who knows the reason why this is happening?
I've noticed since Lollipop that the phone's system sounds (e.g. when tapping to launch an app) are sometimes faint, sometimes at normal volume. I have all volume sliders at maximum, and I've tried toggling muting on and off. I've already factory-reset the phone since Lollipop.
What often happens is that an initial tap or two sound faint, but subsequent taps just a second later are normal. It's a bit annoying. Is there anyone else who's encountered this, or knows of a solution? (I'm using Google Now launcher, if that matters.)
I've noticed that the speaker output seems lower.
The problem goes away when I reboot the phone. But it returns after I use wired headphones to listen to media. There's no problem during the headphone use, but afterward the system-sounds have inconsistent volume again (until I reboot again).
Same here on my uk note 4 it did it on kikkat also wish there was a fix.mine does it randomly does matter if headphones are plugged in or not here is a video of a dude with my issue
