I am attempting to measure the dB levels of a speaker outside my house. I think our microphone is capped out at 90dB. I am using Sound Meter from the play store. Not sure if it is a hardware limit or an app limit. Any one else have experience with this? Thanks in advance!

Hi
I was wondering if anyone here is using A2DP for streaming music, and is having problems with the volume?
I'm using PocketTunes with a Sony Ericsson HBH-DS200 headset and I have to ramp the volume all the way to 100% in PT to get it to pump out what I think is a reasonable volume. Anything much below that isn't loud enough to drown out public transport etc, and that's using those in-ear phones that are supposed to isolate at least a bit!
I've disabled the option to limit PocketTunes volume to the system volume so the system volume setting isn't set too low or anything like that.
Weird thing is the phone speaker is nice and loud and if I plug in a wired headset then I can get a comparable volume level at around the 55-60% mark.
I'm beginning to think it might be my headset, which doesn't have a volume control on it... but I thought headsets that did have a volume control just adjusted the volume on the device which wouldn't really make any difference!
All apps seem to be limiting in this way, whether it's WMP or PocketTunes or TCPMP. There are boost options in settings but all that does is distorts my music really, which is rather distracting.
Any advice appreciated! It's hard to tell whether it's the device, the headset or the software. Running WM6.5 and have done some registry tweaking to disable joint-stereo and increase the A2DP BitPool, so the quality's fine - just too soft.
Cheers

Has anyone else experienced a problem where the earpiece buzzes when the volume reached a high enough level? For me it happens during the loud part of a word when someone is talking (typically the beginning to the middle of the word), and on the highest two in-call volume settings. I can crank it down two notches and the issue disappears, but it just seems unlikely to me that the highest two settings would be unusable.
I got the same issue too, but only with certain callers though. The worst is when I call *611 to Verizon customer service and listen through the automated rep/music. It would create a buzz or static/distortion sound in the earpiece. Kinda annoying, but luckily I use the bluetooth headset 99% of the time. I just tested the earpiece today on a normal call and can confirm to you that I got similar problem, but again on certain callers only.
Can anybody else confirm this?
I am on my second note and this has the same issue of crackling/sounding tinny at full volume.
Does anyone else suffer from this issue ?
It's so annoying as I'm particularly into my audio and it bugs the living daylights out of me.
Dude, if you push the loudspeaker to the limit, it can't handle the volume, and then it sounds rubbish, also if your audio source has a bit more volume than a normalized audio file, it won't help the loudspeaker
You can always buy a separate bluetooth loudspeaker to Rock your party ^_^

The speakers are designed to handle only a certain limit. In what music do you hear the crackling? Let us know so we can cross-check.
I use Cisco Jabber for work and on the P6P the volume it's extremely low through the ear piece.
Does anyone know of a way to boost the volume? Mainly through the App. The volume through a regular call is ok.
It's frustrating to experience low volume through the earpiece on Cisco Jabber, especially when you're using it for work. One potential solution could be to check the audio settings within the app to see if there are any options for boosting the volume. It's possible that there may be a volume slider or other setting that can help increase the volume output.
On a separate note, have you ever considered pursuing a CCNA certification? It's a great way to gain networking knowledge and skills that can be valuable in a variety of industries, including tech. Best of luck with your Cisco Jabber volume issues, and I hope you find a solution that works for you!!

Hi, I upgraded my S10+ to Pixel 6 Pro and now I encounter a new issue, while watching Netflix at night, the lowest level (4%) is too load, and trying and trick it using Volume Styles and other apps on the playstore but it didnt help (even when reducing the level, the lowest I get eqal to the 4% level)
Is there any way to make it lower? (prefrablly without rooting)

In case we are talking about the phones speakers, you could try an Equalizer app and see if changing the Ouput Gain changes anything. But I'm pretty sure that (non rooted) you will not be able to lower the lowest available system sound level.
In case you use Bluetooth - there is an option under developer options called "Disable absolute volume" - that could help you, in case you use a pair of Bluetooth headphones.
"Absolute Volume is an Android feature that combines and synchronizes the volume control on your smartphone and audio devices. This means that increasing the volume of your phone will also increase the volume of your Bluetooth headphone or speaker. This is a great feature, but sometimes it makes the volume on Bluetooth devices unacceptably high, even if your phone’s volume is low."

It actually worked!
I downloaded Music Volume EQ and lowered the EQ levels. It's not the best UX, but it'll do. Thx.
