low media volume issue

I am having an issue with the volume of the media player on the phone, in particular when I am listening to voicemail messages. I have the volume up all the way and you can barely hear it through a headset and it is very quiet on the speaker phone or normally. Is there anyway to force higher volume or is anyone else experiencing this? I have checked the volume under settings and it is also set to max.

This sounds typical.
On the other hand, are you saying that voicemails sound even fainter than normal phone calls?

[Q] Music volume gets very loud or soft frequently (soft bass)

Any one else having issues when playing music? The volume gets soft/low when seeking through a track, so you have to turn the volume up. Though once a new track begins, it gets very loud. Also it seems the bass gets very soft until a new track. Anyone know of a solution? This is with headphones and/or Aux port.
Edit: Well i found a solution run the stock samsung music player first.
It seems to be 3rd party music players (or maybe just PlayerPro) that had the issues. The Darthstalker rom that had the volume boost which is what made the music volume be very loud or soft. I installed stock volume zip. which solved that, but still the bass was cutting out when seeking through tracks. If you run stock samsung music player first then 3rd party/PlayerPro music app. The bass should be fine.
*On the side note if anyone ever noticed light white noise hiss sounds during quiet periods of a song or at the end. From the searching i did today it seems like its based on the impedance of the headphones. The lower the impedance, the higher chance you'll hear slight hiss sounds.

Volume bug with music

Hi, I'm using Note 2 with stock ROM unrooted
I think an app such as Viber or WhatsApp are interfering with volume on it.
Sometimes when I plug in my earphones to listen to music, the volume level stays the same as before, however it is obviously not as loud as it should be. Maximum volume is only about half the actual volume. Then I have to restart the phone.
This is annoying, is there a fix?

Headphone jack static "hissing" sound

As title says. If you listen on low volume via headphone jack, there is annoying white noise in background. Have had this issue on cheap old phones, but didn't expect to encounter this here. Is it just bad-quality hardware or software issue? I am on latest MIUI.

have you been able to replicate this with more than one set of headphones?

Yes, I've got ones with higher impedance as well and the issue still persists.
I made a very strange observation, would be great if you could test this as well. When you are on Spotify, go to the settings section and click on equalizer. Enable it, max everything out to +10dB. Now put media volume to 0, let the song play. You can actually hear the song playing faintly (about equal volume as the static hiss is) in quiet space. How on earth can the audio leak through even on 0 volume?

the audio is leaking thru because the digital volume control never really zeros it out either before or after the DAC and when you have all the volume boosters down, you wont hear the bleed thru, but with them pegged, yeah... LOL
i would test it for you but i despise spotify. i only listen to one radio station from Romania and media i have on YTPM (youtube play music)

Question Low volume with Sony wf1000mx4

I unchecked the "disable absolute volume" and the volume will go low on Sony wf1000mx4 after playing for awhile. I restarted the phone and the same thing happen after awhile. Anyone has the same issues?

There's two volume controls
One on the earphones and one from the phone itself
I generally set the right hold as volume up, set volume max on the earphones, then adjust the phone media volume, had the same issue till I figured it out

Thanks, found the issue. It is YouTube music equalizer which is causing the low volume. Turn it off and everything works perfect.

Since we're on the topic I have had a difficult time boosting the absolute volume level on the P6P. Is it not simply a matter of adjusting audio policy? Any ideas? I want my max volume to be 50-100% higher in all areas, ear, speaker, bluetooth
