I am not sure what happened. I uninstalled some programs (ATK, Robo Defense, etc.) and suddenly the volume when headset is plugged cannot be adjusted. The screen slider moves accordingly without changing the volume in the headset. It works normally without the headset though. I am still using the original OTA 2.36 from Sprint.
Does anyone know how to fix it?
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.
Sent from my Desire HD by magic.
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.

I have recently started having an issue where I can be outside of any apps and when I hit my physical volume buttons it is controlling the media volume not the call volume. I have been freezing various apps to see which is running as media in the background to cause this; keep in mind that no media is playing. How can I find out which app is causing the media volume to persistently be controlled by the volume key? Has anyone else had the issue?
I can restart the phone and everything is fine for awhile. I use Tunein radio before the issue happens. It is an old version of Tune In that I have backed up, and used for over a year using Titanium backup (never had an issue with this). Freezing Tune In doesn't stop the media being the controlled volume by the physical volume button. I've frozen every media app I've used to no avail. Thanks, Jeff.
Is this normal behaviour? And if it is, can I fix that and be able to pause media when the screen is locked? Preferably without a new kernel.
edit: just pinpointed it, if I turn on "Power Button Instantly Locks", I can play/pause or change volume when screen locked, but if that is off, I cannot. This seems to have just started to happen with update to latest MHC19J
Works for my phone. (using poweramp)
Maybe the phone hates your headphones? Don't really know....
Headset controls and volume rocker not responding
I agree that lately, the headset controls stopped working when the screen is and/or the device is locked. Also in this situation the volume-rocker is not working either.
It's very frustrating.
Your workaround to activate "device locks instantly" is working for me and now my headsets' controls and volume-rocker are working with the screen off.
I can't be sure, but the problem seemed to start after the "March 2016 Security Update." I installed it on Saturday or Sunday, and when I started using my headset again on Monday, I noticed the problem.
I've had the Razer phone for solid two weeks now and the following issues are plaguing my device.
Random freezes, this happens more frequently when watching Netflix. The phone reboots itself.
White noise in between dialogues while watching videos with wired headphones on (connected using their USB-C to headphone jack cable).
While making Skype (video)calls in speaker mode, the other party can't hear me...they can hear me again if I toggle the speaker button off. Subsequently when using the Echo sound test service in Skype it fails to record my voice and therefor doesn't replay it when the speaker button is turned on.
Should I consider RMA? Or are these not device related but software/app related?
At least that's what the Razer support is claiming after I contacted them about this Skype issue. They said as this doesn't happen when I perform a normal phone call (in speaker mode) the issue must lie with the Skype app itself.
I was unable to find any solutions to resolve the issues listed above.
Are these issues device specific or more widespread?
Thanks in advance for all the help/advice.
I was having shutdown issues until I did a hard reboot of the phone. I believe the key combinations was holding volume down + power, if not that, it was volume up + power.
