I just paired a Sony bluetooth headset (HBH-IS800) with my Tilt 2 and the volume is quite loud when listening to music. I put media player sound volume down to 5%, apparently the lowest, and it's still very loud. The only other option at that point is going down to 0%, obviously too quiet :-|
Also, the main system volume slider on the side - no effect on the headset whatsoever. Whether it's maxed out or silent - the bluetooth headset is still too loud.
Does anyone have any recommendations on:
1) How to go between <5% and >0% volume on media player?
2) How to get the main volume control to affect the bluetooth headset volume?
3) Any other ideas on lowering the music volume overall? Maybe another (better?) music player could work? Maybe a reg setting I can modify?
Any advice is appreciated - the headset is so cool - I'd love to make it usable!!! - TIA!

P.S. - I called Sony - their answer: "We don't support the headset unless it's paired with a Sony phone". Boo Sony!
I have the same problem with this headset.
I had it running on the Touch HD with volume control from the device works perfectly.
Is there any solution yet?
same volume control issue with BT8040
With both Media Player or PocketTunes, I am not able to alter the volume on the BT8040, either from the Tilt2, or the earpiece itself.
Never had this problem with the same earpiece and my original Tilt.
Same problem here
I have the same problem. I have a bluetooth set which I connect to FM transmiter. The problem is: Volume is all the way up so the music is horrible, it gets distorted. I'd like to know how to manage the bluetooth volume in the system settings, is there a way? Pushing the left buttons (system volume) wont affect bluetooth volume, neither any other volume control within the settings. Any help appreciated.
I have found a solution that works for me. I use Nitrogen Player and you can just turn the equalizer on and change the preamp level to close to the bottom. Works a treat for me.
Code:
Options -> Settings -> Equalizer.

Same problem to me... I listen often to internet radio, but now it's too loud :-(
Same Problem here...
If anyone came up with a solution for this that works native to the ROM (vs just adjusting the eq) post it here, and I'll do the same.

I have a stereo BT headset, and whenever I pair it with my (tmo US) TP2, the phone throws up a standard "you have to adjust the volume from the headset, can't do it from the handset" warning...and when I do use the volume controls on the headset, the volume does adjust accordingly, but without any feedback from the phone (no volume slider or other indication), so the adjustment is obviously happening in the headset's circuitry, and the audio coming from the phone is at a static, un-adjustable level.
From the research I've done, the culprit is the sub-par Widcomm bluetooth stack in the phone, and I haven't yet found anyone who has engineered a replacement stack. I know the possibility exists (I upgraded the bluetooth stack on my Wizard a couple of years ago to get one that had the A2DP profile), but I just don't think anybody has made a replacement for this model yet

Thanks for the reply! My situation is backwards in the sense that the headset doesn't have volume controls - and what I seem to be finding is that there doesn't seem to be an immediate fix for controlling a headset from the phone. I did use a tool called "Advanced Config" to find a default music volume that I can change, so I lowered that from 100 to 50 and now the volume is at least comfortable. However I have no control over it yet....
Could these issues be due to USB 2.0 versus USB 2.1 ?
I got a Motorola H17 (USB 2.1) and everything works perfect. Have volumn control from phone and headset and all audio sources work fine.
Oooops. Meant Bluetooth 2.0 vs Bluetooth 2.1.

Yes, for some reason, the BT stack in this phone seems to assume that all BT stereo headsets also have built-in controls on them and won't allow them to adjust system volume. I think we're probably stuck with that fact until somebody finds a BT stack to replace the TP2's native one.
The best workaround for now may be just to find and use a headset that does have volume controls. I'll be posting a review soon of the ones I have now, the Plantronics/Altec Lansing Backbeat 903's

So when you play music through it, you can control the volume on the handset itself, and with controls on the headset? If so, I'm guessing it's because that's a monaural (not stereo) headset, so it may not be the same volume. My headset has BT 2.1 on it, and while I can control the playback etc on the phone, the volume controls only adjust the headset volume, not the volume on the phone.

This may be true since it is only monaural. The volume control (on the phone) still controls the phone (thus the headset) while the BT control only controls the BT headset.

Good evening,
If it can help you with tcpmp-0. 72RC1 - GF5500Edition - Alpha4. 1 can adjust the volume of this famous helmet HBH-IS800 and it is easier than with nitrogene.
Good evening

if its is supported by only sony phones(BB storm too) then can we get the profile from a xperia and install it on another device
I have seen multiple people state they can adjust the volume both on their headset and on the handset asystem volume. I thought perhaps it was the BT stack EXCEPT I was able to do this as well before I did a hard reset now I cannot adjust the 2 volume controls independently. The handset volume is static. Will someone that can adjust the system volume with a headset compare settings/egistry entries with me?
Is there a way we can adjust the volume of the line out from the bluetooth connection, anyone, lately ive have noticed that most devices are doing this, dont want to revert to a old stack but there has to be a way to combine the headset volume with the bluetooth volume
I recently purchased a wireless headphone/headset for my HTC Tilt2, installed via bluetooth no problems. However, there's no sound control - the phone sound controls do not work on it. I'm hoping there's a registry setting I can change. Any suggestions?
Not the greatest solution
The only thing I could come up with was to download/install a different media player that had an equalizer and separate volume control. Then I could adjust the preamp level down to about 25% and adjust the volume through the program. Only downfall to that is finding the right media player. I've gone through three of them and all them have sound different through the headphones - not really sure why. I'm using Nitrogen now but would like to find a different one if anyone has any suggestions.
I have a small issue that may not be possible to resolve, but I don't understand why they have a BlueTooth volume control when all of my BT headsets and car stereo have independent volume controls, thus negating the need for there to be a stock BT profile with volume. This is only an issue because when I am wanting there to be an option to always go 100% volume with BT and use my current Media Volume for headphones and speakerphone output.
Does anyone have a fix for this? I have a theory that this can be done via Tasker (if that is the consensus, I will work on it and post a how-to if this is a popular request), but if this is a development issue and requires some BT Profile modifications, I can open a request in Development rather than Q&A.
Am I the only one annoyed at this? Or are there users that benefit from the BT Volume profile?
I always get blasted when using headsets or can't hear when in the car thus invalidating the hands-free component while I reach for the phone to hit the Volume Up button...
Here's a tough question - not necessarily difficult to answer, but difficult to ask correctly.
Is there any possibility to change the "sound type" of a particular program without actually having access to the program source code (e.g. via an external application/setting)?
By "sound type" I mean the value which is shown when you use the side volume keys while the program is running. E.g. when playing music and you use the vol+/-, it will display "Media volume", when in the Home screen and you use the vol+/- it will say "Ringer volume" etc.
I'm using the Desire as my main in-car device. The sound goes over Bluetooth to a Motorola T505 handsfree/FM transmitter and from that one to the car radio via FM (yes, old car radio, no built-in Bluetooth).
The reason for which I need to change the sound type is because if they sound types are different, they can be adjusted independently - i.e. music volume to 50% and ringer volume to 30%, so that I don't get a heart attack when the phone rings.
The problem is that my navigation software (iGo Amigo) and HTC Media player both seem to use the "Media volume" designation for their sound output, so I cannot adjust them separately. This results either in listening to a very loud navigation or to low volume music. Other navigation software have their sound type as "Alert volume", so they can be set separately.
Any idea how/if this can be changed somehow? The Desire is completely stock, unbranded, running 2.2 and the latest OTA updates.
Thanks!

does igo not have an internal volume adjustment? i know copoilot does, so i can set my media volume to full and then adjust the actual volume level off the app independently
None that I could find, it seems to be stuck with some default values (iGo MyWay 2009).
Wondering if in Android there's an iGo configuration file similar to sys.txt on WinMo... might be able to set it there.
I have KODI on my AFTV connected to a Phillips TV and a Bose Speaker set connected to the TV. Is there a way to control the volume? Kodi volume control doesn't work? Please help!
Just FYI..It doesnt work on aftv , volume control...use your remote to control volume on your bose speakers.[emoji106] [emoji1]
TV cannot control volume output to speakers! What can I do?
I suppose the Bose speakers are connected to the Television. if so... the tv can control the volume output on a set range.

I use an app called Base EQ. It has an equalizer with a wide range of choices on one side, and volume control on the other. You can't adjust the volume with the remote, but it works with a mouse. The only downside might be that you can't adjust the volume through the app while in another app. You could also try Pie Control and other similar apps. I actually use Pie Control on my Fire TV, Galaxy S4, and Galaxy Tab 3 8.0. A mouse is needed to control Pie with, but if I remember right it does have volume control options that can be placed on one of the two available levels. If possible, I'd recommend installing Aptoid, since the last time I tried to find Pie Control in the Playstore I couldn't find it. It's checking out.
