Ive been searching everywhere for this but either nobody has thorght about it or its not possible.
with my Touch HD the volume is far to loud to listen to music as background music or through earphones and the HTC volume control step size for the volumes is too big. its either off, medium, loud or very loud!
the default WM6.1 control is even worse!
i know that you can use your finger to adjust the HTC volume control but this still isnt sensitive enough for me.
and i also know that it is possible to adjust the volume through tweak HD or advanced config. only problem with that is that I want to be able to chose to listen to very quite music or turn it up very loud without having to go through one of those settings.
so i was wondering if anybody could make a program that either has a large step size or a user defined step size for the volume and that is activated/volume through the volume buttons.
Thanks!
P.S sorry if this is in the wrong section or if there is a requests thread but i couldnt find it.
Ok i havnt found exactly what i wanted but i did find this:
http://handheld.softpedia.com/progDownload/Volume-Control-Download-35536.html
this is an aplication which lets you choose the volume with 100 steps. and it works from the system volume so using somthing like nitrogen or media player there is another 100 steps giving me 10000 steps haha
the bad points are that you must go into filemanager and manualy start it. and even then it does not work with the volume buttons.
(if anyone knows of a way to start this when powering on the device that could be useful!)
its good but not ideal.
if anyone else can come up with somthing better speak up!
create a shortcut to the exe and add it to /device/windows/startup ?
Yep, would be nice if the volume rocker can use this little tool.
Hello,
Any news on that topic ?
Thanks
I have the same problem, i think the stepsize can be changed in the registry but i dont know where i could find this.
Just to let you know the Volume rocker switch adjusts sound in 3 steps at a time. But during music play back you can use finger or stylus to adjust volume bargarph displayed on the htc HD screen in single step and thus volume is more finely controlled. There is no need to make registry changes.
The problem is, if youre using the E100 headset (or just want to press a button in your pocket to adjust volume) it would be nice if it'd adjust 1 step instead of 3 when pressing volup or voldown..
If youre moving and just want to adjust volume its really annoying to get your phone out of your jacket/pocket, pull out your stylus and lower your volume to 1..... might be just me that is a lazybones, but still!
With Good intra headset, even one bar is too much. Is it a WM limitation that the stepsize is that big ?

The actual problem is that 1 bar (out of the 15 available), ie the quietest setting the system is capable of, is TOO loud. I wouldn't dare use headsets at 10 bars (out of 15), the sound level would blow my eardrums out.
What we'd like to do is change the "range" of volume output - so that the output power is a LOT lower at low settings, while remaining loud enough for public broadcast (ie from the speaker on the back) at higher settings.
Anyone?
Same issue here. The minimum volume is still way too high. It's a waste of battery and could hurt your ear if you use in-ear earbuds.

As an addition.... I think this "too much volume" thing is something to do with the HTC TF3D music player itself.
On my (stock Rom) HD - I can listen to the FM radio at "normal" volume levels (ie about halfway up the range), but with the TF3D player - I have to turn it right down again.
Haven't tested it with other players (eg TCPMP).
Another request for a better solution to volume control.

I have the same problem, ever since getting a set of in-ear MM50 (Sennheiser).
Too loud!
Any ideas?

You may edit the registry file:
Local_machine\software\HTC\VolumeOverlay\SavedHand SetVolume
Change DWORD to 0
(soft-reset not needed)
plug in the headphone and adjust the system volume (press the volume button on side of the device and adjust the volume that is most soothing through the headset and it will memorize it! Once you pull out the headset the volume through the system speaker will be amplified as set by step 2 below. Plugin the headset again and the vol. will revert back to the headset volume level that you adjusted above).
You can always increase or decrease headset volume using the volume switch from this point and this new level you used is memorized during next headset insertion and automatically adjusted.
Step2,
This will tweak the volume that you want when headset is not plugged in.
But remember this will be the maximum volume through the speaker and you can only decrease it using the device volume button, not increase it.
You may have to experiment a few times until you get to a satisfactory volume level (don't forget to soft-reset after tweaking each time. I found 40 to be quite reasonable.
Local_machine\software\HTC\AudioManger_eng\Config\ music_player_volumn
Change the DWORD to 10 (you may have to adjust it to suit the volume you want when the headset is unplugged. In fact 10 is too low and I found 40 to be more reasonable) or lower(I think even 10 is too low!) and soft-reset the device.
the music will become lighter in the TouchFLO3D music player
I did both of the above steps and it solved the problem dramatically! It works even if you are using other software players(windows media player etc)

i just proud of my name is being posted by other
None of these thins work with noise isolating headphones where 1 bar is too loud. As soon as the phone starts to ring you are deafened as the volum is A LOT LOUDER than the music. I have the same problem with WMP as I can set a low volume in system, 3 bars, and 15-40% in WMP or an other program and the music is fine but as soon as the phone rings it absolutely kills!
man if someone solves this they'll make a few insta-friends !
We need a fix.
Many this app will help some, if not all of you !
It's a freeware developed by a member of this forum and it serves the simple purpose of allowing to set "volume steps" and replacing the default volume window. It's brilliant.
Work is still in progress, but it's already a must have at this point
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=598997
I've noticed that when using a program like handsent sms that the sounds are not part of the ringer.. they are under notifications.. so for instance if I lower my volume wit my rocker buttons to lowest setting but still on ring. And recieve a txt thru handsent the ring will be still loud to what ever the notification ring is set to.. my question is a tweak or something that allows the rocker buttons to control all sound ? Not just ranger volume?

wrong section ...
... but
if you go under settings, sounds, volume you can make the ringtone and notifications move in sync with each other.
There is also an app called audiomanager (free and paid versions) that lets you manage all 6 sound profiles separately. They are:
Alarm
Music
Alerts
Ringer
System
Voice call
and comes with a handy widget. Does not change the functionality of the volume rocker however.
I've had this happen on RC2 as well...
After I've put the volume all the way down (vibrate only mode) and then turned the volume back up, none of my notification sounds will play. When I get sms/email the vibrate will go off but not the tone. I've checked Handcent and GMail settings and they both have a tone selected. However, once I get a txt/email, only vibrate no sound. My call ringtones, volume up/down, apps, music..etc works, but no notification.
Anyone help?
Grab Audio Guru from the market. It lists out all the system sound modes and lets you control all six of them individually. I had this happen once and found one of my sound controls set to zero. Used the slider in Audio Guru to increase it to max, problem solved.
I have a problem with my N7 2013
All of sudden the volume doesn't work, well is working but the volume is very very low when I go to YouTube the audio is very low and the dock and keyboard sound I can't bearly hear it. I just check in setting and the media and other volumes are at max and I did a reboot and nothing.
Also when I press the volume button it shows a phone (picture down below)
All of this happens today. I don't know if this have to do with a Bluetooth keyboard I bough today (minisuit keyboard for the N7)
Can some one please help me I will appreciate it.
PS. Sorry for my bad spelling I'm from Puerto Rico

Help With Volumes
When you are turning the volume up, tap that small icon on the right and it will bring up the other volumes and then just slide the volume bars to the volume you want.
If you want to turn up, main volume the one with the speaker icon is the one you want
The screenshot you have attached, bares no relevance to volume. As you cans see, that is the volume for incall volume or ringtone. Have you recently installed an app for texting or making phone calls? As above, you need to make sure you are changin your media volume, not your "phone" volume. If you have an android phone, use the volume buttons on the home screen, it will display the same slider bar in your picture. Open a game and press the volume button and it will change to the slider bar for audio output.
Yeah try hugelife advice and you see that dock sound in the screen try ticking it and trying again.

Hi,
As the title suggests my 5T appears to be muted on bluetooth when the volume is at 10% or less. This doesn't happen on speaker or audio jack so.
I've looked around and can't find any other instance of this. I've tried messing about with the "Bluetooth absolute volume" setting but that doesn't make a difference. It's happening for all bluetooth devices so it's nothing to do with the devices themselves.
I've attempted to up the volume steps within gravitybox but that does nothing (my understanding is OOS doesn't allow this to be changed?)
This has only been an issue since I updated to 8.1.0.
Just to add to this I've just found that if I put the slider to loud (bottom) and kill spotify and open it again I can then hear sound at the lowest volume setting. If i then put my slider to silent (top) I can hear sound still. I can the adjust volume around the low levels but the moment I go above 10% and back down I can then no longer hear the sound unless I repeat the earlier steps.
Any ideas?
