Brand New Bluetooth Headphones...volume extremely low. Tried everything....HELP - OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers

Hello all,
First time posting in the forum. I own a OP3 and it has been a great device. I recently just rooted and installed ExperienceOS along with Magisk.
No matter what I try, I cannot get the volume on my bluetooth headphones to act normally. When the media volume is at 100%, the headphones sound like they are only at 40% volume.
I have tried forgetting and reconnecting, enabling "disable absolute volume", restarting phone multiple times, using different volume booster apps, and more.
I just feel somewhat stuck and want to be able to enjoy my $100+ bluetooth headphones to their fullest capabilities.
If anyone has any advice or recommendations, I would greatly appreciate it.
Thank you XDA community!

Have you tried Viper4Android FX [Unity/AML]?

You should get a separate control for BT volume when the BT headphones are connected. Are you getting it and did you try to adjust it?

Yes I am getting it along with my regular ringer volume adjuster. I have the BT maxed out, however it is still quite.

Do your headphones have a volume control and have you tried increasing it? Are the headphones working alright with other devices?
If the answer is yes to both, I am out of options.

Have you tried to disable the absolute volume for bluetooth devices?
To disable it:
* Enable developer options
* Go to developer options
* Under Networking tick the Disable absolute volume
Also, try out the Viper4Android.
It has Max gain option which you can play around with.
There's overall a lot of options to increase your audio quality so if you want suggestions, then ask

I've disabled absolute volume and I have messed around with V4A and still cannot get the volume to increase. I tried the headphones on my tablet and they are about 2x as loud.

[Q][SOLVED] No Touch Sounds or Keyboard Sounds

Has anyone else experienced issues with system sounds not playing? My Nexus does not play any touch sounds or keyboard sounds, when both of those options are definitely checked. I've rebooted, factory restored, tried a new ROM, and I get no sounds.
I do have the famed "clicking" sound (of the speaker engaging and disengaging) as though it's attempting to play, if I listen closely.
Using the Verizon Galaxy Nexus with both stock 4.0.2 and an AOSP build of 4.0.3.
EDIT: Using Volume Control + to edit the System Volume from 2 to 7 fixed the problem.
Go to settings settings > sound > volume. Make sure your music, video, games, and other media slider isn't muted.
Same problem here. I thought that maybe it was a 4.0.1 issue... wonder if it is hw related?

Have you tried connecting headphones to see if you hear anything? Maybe something got the sensor in the jack stuck?

Thanks for all the quick replies! I just had a brainstorm after posting and figured out what the problem is. I don't have an answer for HOW it happened, but there seems to be a System Volume that is NOT user-modifiable. I just downloaded Volume Control +, and changed the System Volume from 2 to 6. I can definitely hear it now!
Strange! Well at least you got it working!
Is there any way to increase the volume of the touch sounds?

Do you mean past volume level 7? Probably not. You could always pull the sound effects from /system/media/ui and amplify them in an audio program such as Audacity, then push them back.

Thank you, I though about it too, but then I decided against it because I may feel I want to go back to a lower volume and it would be a pain in the neck to move files back and forth.
The only way I could get them a little louder is by using DSP or similar.

True, it would. Then again, to lower the volume, you could then just modify the system volume lower rather than moving the old files back.
thanks
Thanks this thread helped me get keyboard sound after flashing custom rom, there was no setting adjust system volume in setting.
3rd party apps like volume plus did the trick.
:good:
Same problem here on my xperia play ! o.o
Don't know how happened, not flashing roms or appling any new tweak from 2 months or more..
Just the sound disappered.. =S
Solved with volume control + !

Any way to adjust Bluetooth volume level?

Hi all,
I connect my Pixel to a bluetooth to line in adapter in my truck and I notice that it always maxes out the media volume setting on my phone. If I turn it down it jumps right back up again. The problem is that voice calls are much quieter and when I end the call the volume is WAY too loud for the music. I installed an app that lets you adjust the levels for calls and for media but it does the same thing where the media volume maxes out automatically. Long story short I want control back and am rooted and hope there's a mod or something I can do. I am currently running Dirty Unicorns but I'm pretty sure it does the same thing on stock rom.
May have found an answer in developer options. Will give it a try tomorrow.

S9 bluetooth headphone volume too loud

This may be a weird one, I am aware... BUT:
I connected bluetooth headphones to my S9 for the first time last night, and it was mind-blowingly loud, not in a good way. Even with the volume all the way down, it was almost painful to listen to music at the gym.
Do you guys know of any apps that can make sound quieter or adjust volume to be somewhere between the bottom volume option and the 'volume off' level?
I toggled dolby atmos on and off to see if that made any difference, and when I turned it on it seemed to get a little louder, which I expected. I also went through the audio profile customization, and while the audio sounds great, it's still too loud
Any ideas?
Thanks!.
I may have solved this one on my own, so I'll post the potential solution for anyone who may run into this issue in the future
In developer options, theres a toggle for 'disable absolute volume' - turn this ON.
Some Bluetooth speakers or devices might have issues working with Android’s volume control. Normally, changing the volume on your phone should change the volume of the Bluetooth device. Some devices don’t work with this feature, or have the volume become extremely quiet or super loud.
If you’ve experienced this problem with your devices, try enabling this setting. Otherwise, you should leave it turned off for normal functionality.

That's it. I had the same on my Pixel 2 XL but I kept it set to "Off" because it still gets super quiet too if I need. It could be because the Pixel 2 has 25 volume steps rather than 15
On my note 9 there is also an option without the need of the developer mode:
Go to settings -> bluetooth -> advanced
There should be an option like "media volume sync"
Turn that one off and you can turn down the volume on your headphones separately.

System volume

Trying to find a way to lower system volume. In settings system volume is an on/off option only. Any help would be very appreciated. Hearing touch sounds is very important to me, but not at the volume oneplus has it set at. Thanks

Really just need to wait for root
Okay, I have root. Now what should be done? I used v4a convolvers in the past.
And changing max volume steps from what I remember doesnt do anything for OnePlus phones. At least not for my op3t?

Question lowest volume is too loud on rooted OOS OP9P

Hello
The lowest possible speaker volume is too loud when listening to anything, Sirius or iHeart. My previous OP7P's volume was lower for the first volume setting.
Is there anything I can do to lower the decibels a bit?

Did you install the dolby atmos mod or viper4android?
Is this over wired usbc headphones, bluetooth, or the speaker?
There is a Bluetooth volume control in developer settings if it's bluetooth/headphone related.
The atmos or viper4android mods can make the volume a lot louder. I go turn my atmos from custom back to voice or movie.
It may help to post what version of android you're using and if you're rooted, for more help
Thank you App
I mentioned my op9p that, yes I'm rooted.
I'm on A112 and did install the Dolby mod you helped me with in another thread.
I am referring to the volume of the phone's speaker as I listen to Sirius, for example.

I must have missed it. I didn't recognize the name but try changing your dolby atmos setting to another preset setting or turn off "volume leveler" or "dialogue enhancer" and see how it sounds then
Thank you App
That did it. It was the volume leveler setting, I think.

Happy to help! Sorry I didn't recognize your name from the other thread or I would have said try that before asking about your viper/dolby.
I asked because I had the exact same issue. I was laying down with my kids like 'damn, this is awfully loud for volume 1' . I remembered the Dolby install earlier that day and that was my issue.
It's good to know it worked the same on a11 and a12 for future people wondering the same thing.
I had something similar happen on Viper on an older phone with my aux cable, it would sound distorted until adjusted in viper but only in my car aux. Not wired headphones or bluetooth
