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?

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.

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.

While listening to some audio with the headset on and max volume the volume went down to 50% without touching the phone.
Tried to put the volume up to the max again but the volume slider will slide back to the 50% when trying to set it louder.
Have tried everything from wiping cache to sound improvement apps but the slider will move back to the its current max which is 50%.
What could be causing this problem?

Does the warning about listening too loud show up?

I've discovered a pretty big audio bug. Certain apps will keep playing loud audio even when system volume is muted. A couple of days ago I accidents hit play while downloading an album at work from Amazon music. It started playing loudly. I quickly muted the volume (yes, system not ringer) but the song kept playing. Today I pulled up Sentinel 4 and it was blasting. Again I quickly adjusted the volume down but it didn't lower it or mute it.
Has anyone else experienced this?

AFAIK the system volume slider only controls system things.. notifications and such.. use the media slider to control music..
This behavior is also consistent on my note4..

I had the media slider muted too. I chatted with Samsung support and they had me do a soft reset which resolved the issue. They couldn't say what caused it though. It was like Windows support telling me to reboot.

Weird. . But glad you got it resolved.. I wonder if the problem will come back. Perhaps it could be related to an app you have installed..
Or maybe just those pesky gremlins

Similar issue here. Sometimes when I use the hard volume buttons the software slider doesn't respond. Reboot usually resolves this but lately I'm finding myself rebooting alot. Hopefully they will push an update soon.
When I plug my phone into my car stereo via aux, my notification sounds are high and Google Maps/Navigation. My Pandora, on the other hand, the volume is low. I've looked around for some sort of volume control for individual apps, kinda like what's been available for Windows, since I can remember. No luck.
How can I resolve this issue? Does this normally happen? Could a 3rd party app that I've installed, have an affect on Pandora's volume control? I'm using AudioManager Pro. I used the same thing on my DROID Razr Maxx, but I don't remember having this problem at all.
There is a cap on the volume level for music. When you press volume up it will give a warning that you must override to raise the volume higher. I'm not sure if you have already encountered and modified this. All you have to do to override is tap OK and continue raising the volume past that. This warning resets every time the device is powered off (reboot, not screen off). May try that if you haven't already. I use Bluetooth, but I've never been unable to raise the volume level up to an acceptable level.

Hello,
I don't know if it's just me but has anyone ever experienced volume increasing and decreasing when switching applications?
Whenever I'm listening to music on Poweramp I would normally need to set the volume to 85 percent in order to have a comfortable listening experience, when I switch to YouTube it gets deafening loud! When I switch back to Poweramp it goes wayyyy down... is this a feature if so can it be disabled?
Thanks
Not certain, but it could be related to the Media Volume Limiter? It's under Sounds, Volume, then hit the 3 dot menu. Adjust the limiter or turn it off. Not sure if it would help or not.
