When using my headphones for regular audio playback, the volume is OK and can be controlled at multiple levels.
Whenever I receive or make a call, however, the volume is WAY too loud. Furthermore, I cannot control the volume using the volume rocker or the volume slider. No settings anywhere seem to have any effect on this.
I'm running Cyanogenmod 10.1.3 currently. Generally I wait for a "proper" stable release rather than the monthlies before updating.

Please report this to the Rom's Thread.
However you may try one thing. While you are in an ongoing call, press volume down button. That's the only time and place to control in-call volume. Otherwise that setting isn't available.

I'll report it there, though i've just gone to to the Monthly snapshot in hopes that its remedied. If not, nothing gained nothing lost, and i can tweak my rom till the settings are fixed, or go to a different rom or something. Maybe a stock based rom where i'll install my own launcher. (if theres a stock rom with injected features and such, that would be fantastic).
I did try this though, and the volume buttons do nothing for the in call volume (while in a call), nor does sliding the slider during a call.
EDIT: problem is still there in 10.2 M1.
best to report this in the dedicated thread. i have been using cm10 without an issue of such. but then again im not on the latest nightly.

I've noticed that media volume is being affected by in call volume.
Many times it happens I'm listening to music when a call comes, which being too loud (since i'm using my earphones) I reduce it by lowering the in call volume. After the call end the media volume gets reduced and it doesn't go up even if you max it out, although it can be lowered...
The remedy to fix it is make a dummy call and max out the in call volume, dis-connect and voila you're media volume is back up which can be lowered as desired...
Its not a serious bug as its temporary fix easy to apply but since most of the major android bugs on HD2 have been ironed out, so if developer has the time it would be great if they can look into it.
Also this a kernel/sound module bug, as I've seen it persist across different ROMS by different chefs. Yhough I have not tried Sense, but it present in both CM7 and MIUI roms whatever I tried so far..If some sense user can confirm, it would be helpful as these roms have different kernel...
I m currently using the ROM in my signature and i give a negative confirmation. Meaning in my HD2 and ROM i have faced no such issues. The media volume is independent of the In-Call volume.
Btw i admit once i noticed this bug when i was trying a MIUI rom.
Yes it exists. You can verify it.
1. Install Volume control
2. Play any music
3. Modify the InCall volume.

Yes even I think this might be specific to MIUI Roms.
Can anybody verify the same with AOSP roms?

So sense roms doesnt have this bug, it seems...
Well i remember having faced a similar issue when i was typhoons cm7 rom around a month or two back
I have also observed this 'bug'. My initial thought was that the DSP manager (I'm currently on CM ROM) does not restore the correct profile after hang up.
No bug on jw-miui. Tested like this: launch music, volume set to max
Did a call, adjusted in call volume to low.
Hang up, miui music start to play with its full volume (just like i set it before).
Second test was with low music volume. It works too. So I can't confirm the bug.

Hi guys
Hope I am posting this in the right place. I'm looking for an app that allows me to increase the volume on my gs2 by smaller increments than the volume rocker does standard? Basically every time i hit up or down on the volume rocker the difference is huge. I can't seem to find the right volume for music. One notch will be too quiet, the next one up is too loud. My setup is:
2.3.4 stock, unrooted
Equalizer app custom eq
poweramp eq
Ultimate ears super fi noise isolating headphones
I use these settings and apps because standard it sounds rubbish. i've finally got my sounds right, but can't get the right volume! I've tried heaps of apps from the market, volume+, volume control, etc. All increase the volume by the standard 10% increment rather than the 5% i'm looking for. Fine volume control sort of worked, but it seemed after i adjusted the volume it would quickly revert in a second or two.
Any help would be greatly appreciated

Hi, that shouldn't be happening; are you using the hardware volume buttons to change the volume? You have to use the dial or in-app sliders to modify the volume, if you use any other app to change the volume (or the rocker buttons), then it will move in larger increments.
If you need more a longer time to trial it, then PM/email me your UUID (menu/preferences then hold down your back button)
Thanks, I will give this another try and report back.

With some more experimentation, this works really well, so I bought it two things I was wondering about though, is there any way to lock volume, as I must be knocking as it shoots right up, and is there any way to save as a preset?

Presets are a possible future addition.
Not sure about volume lock, there are apps in the market like "RingGuard" and "Volume Locker" which would work - but only if you moved the volume enough to trigger an API level volume change, which is approx every 10-20%.

The volume slider shoots up when you press the hardware volume buttons? That's normal - it's because of how your device volume is calibrated (by the ROM).
The default volume stages aren't evenly spread across the entire available range. Our app shows the full range available, so when you press the volume buttons (from outside our app) it can appear to jump. It is effectively jumping, because the default API doesn't allow you to access those volume levels that lie between jumps (but you can with fine volume).
Basically, all other volume control apps and the Android system show the volume in terms of API volume levels. Fine volume control shows the volume in terms of the full available range. All other apps (and the volume hardware buttons) change the volume in terms of API levels.
It shoots up when using the dial. I've tried changing the sensitivity as well. Seems to always shoot media volume to 94%. It only does this occasionally though. All in all a great app!

Just to confirm, the dual on the far left is the overall volume? So if I am at 90% media volume but 7% overall, the media volume is 90% of the 7%, not of its possible maximum?

No, each slider is independent from the rest (ringer and notification are locked together though). There is no overall volume control.
The slider on the left (Android logo) is "System" volume, things like Screen lock sounds.
I have a rooted HTC Desire running Cyanogenmod 7 for which I wanted fine volume control. I like to be able to change volume using the rocker but it instantly shoots to 100% and that is extremely painful when using canalphones. I have uninstalled fine volume control 2 because I don't want to run the risk of insane volume levels.
Does anyone have any idea if this can be built into the volume API and have reliable hardware control?

Were you using the dial/overlay to change the volume?
Did the overlay not respond to your initial gesture, then suddenly "catch-up"?
Were you turning the volume up when it jumped?
I'm really sorry about this, I'll try and put in some volume limiter to prevent it happening.

Sorry for the late reply.
Dial/overlay worked as expected. what was causing problems was accidental use of the hardware buttons. Because that is what I am used to using. The app does not change hardware button behaviour and actually makes it worse as the volume can go almost instantly from 0 to 100% when touching the rocker.

The main volume app component overrides the hardware buttons and increases/decreases the volume by 1% each time you tap the button.
If the main volume app isn't currently on top, it can't override the hardware buttons (the overlay can't override either). It's a limitation of the Android system.
Each time you hit the hardware buttons from outside of the app, the volume will change in the default way (15 stages for media).
I've had a few reports of a bug when using earphones on the SGSII of erratic volume levels, so I have since added a volume limiter for when using headphones to workaround that sort of issue.
I may be missing something, but it doesn't appear that you are able to separate ringer and notification volume anymore. This is critical for me, because I am on call 24/7 and need the ability to turn down my notification volume, yet keep the ringer volume on max to wake me up.
I'm running ICS Slim v1.4

Try RingDimmer https://market.android.com/details?id=com.michaelpardo.ringdimmer you can find it in the android market for about a dollar
I found a better app made specifically for the volume changes in ICS

There are two issues that I find annoying with the volume settings. I believe these issues are because of this T-Mobile ROM and not stock Android 4.2.2, but I could be wrong. While this issue might be a thread for troubleshooting, I believe this is not something we users can fix, but a ROM issue that T-Mobile should probably fix sometime soon.
The issues are the notification volume not properly being linked with the ringer volume and the second is the warning we get about turning up the volume when headphones are plugged in; that is just plain annoying, and I wish our ROM would allow us to disable this warning message. If anyone has found an easy way to do this, please let us know.
The notification volume does not seem to get set up or down when using the volume button on the side of the phone. On my older HTC phone with Android 2.3.4, turning the volume up or down with the side volume button turns the phone's ringer up/down but not the notifications (not while in a call but while walking into a meeting, for instance, and trying to make the phone ringer and notifications quiet). Further more, when I go into settings to access volumes (music, ringtones, notification, system) or I press the volume button and quickly access volume settings from the volume pop-up (ringtone, media, notification, system) there is no option/functionality to have ringtone and notification volumes linked. Further still, I have a widgetsoid volume widget to access volume controls that does allow me to set "use ringer volume for notifications", and I see the volume slider for notifications greyed out and moving with the ringtone volume setting, BUT the notification volume doesn't actually adjust with the ringtone volume when using the volume button.
Okay, I know that is a long winded (its just thorough) way of explaining the volume issues I've observed, in total.
I think either this T-Mobile ROM has broken the previous and useful feature of having these two volumes linked, or it is a problem with Android 4.2.2.
Anyone have anything to add? Maybe a fix I am overlooking? Anyone know how to also disable the annoying warning about having my headphones turned up too loud?
Thanks!
Volume warning is fixable through root and nottach framework or a custom ROM. My ROM has the ability to sync any volume with the ringer volume.

I agree. I have had some issues with volume on my phone. Interestingly, when I was running the CyanogenMod nightly, I noticed all my notifications/ringers were MUCH louder (it actually startled me the first time my phone rang), and of course I had the option to lock the two volumes together.

I think I can pull the volume synchronization from my ROM and put it into an app.

I have CM11 installed and I can't seem to use the volume rocker while i'm in the lockscreen. Is there a solution? Am I missing something in the settings app?

Do you mean media volume or ringer volume? Last time I checked, ringer volume cannot be changed straight from the lockscreen aside from the power menu's options (silent, vibrate, ring).
Are you trying to navigate between songs perhaps ? Like @tonytien said, we need to know what purpose you were trying to use this multipurpose button pair.
Nahh, I'm just trying to perhaps change the volume of my ringtone while using the volume rockers, I know I could do that when I was with stock rom and when I was on 10.2. Maybe it's a bug or am I missing something inside the settings.
I haven't used 10.2 enough to know since I've only used 11 with most of my time in the CM world. If ringer volume on lockscreen was ever a feature, it might have been removed. You could check the Buttons section in your settings, I think.
