Today I switched from German to U.S. English inside "Language & input" and while staying at U.S. English the volume while listening to Spotify or for example Shuttle+ (music player app) is far higher compared to when using German language.
I need to restart the music app after changing language, changing the language on the fly while listening to music has no effect and it only works when using headphones.
I allways found the Mi A2 lite too low on volume when using headphones, but now it's far too loud at max.
Edit: I did some tests with different EU and non-EU languages and everytime I'm using an EU language my volume gets lower. Could anyone please double check it? Thanks.
Could someone please verify the above? Thanks in advance.
I did it and obviously there is a huge difference
Don't know why,but I think all problems will be solved with android pie

Thanks for testing. I hope it will get fixed with Pie, but I'm afraid Xiaomi turned down the volume for E.U. language users because of some stupid E.U. laws regarding maximum volume levels.

I don't think so, but this version now has many bugs like white balance, radio fm,double tap to wake,charging sounds... And I expect that these will be taken in consideration with the update
While there's life, there's hope.
Yes, true
Weird. It's the same here when using Spotify. Changed from Swedish to U.S English language. The volume out is way to low on the A2 Lite compared to my old Oneplus 3. Especially when pairing it with a BT-device such as my car or portable speaker. Also, there is a kind of "dampening" to the sound happening when using the equializer in the Spotify app. It starts at a high volume level and then drops, which in turn lowers the sound output even more. It's noticable when changing the prefered language- but improved over the Swedish language settings.
Can anyone else confirm low sound output while using Bluetooth? And using the EQ in Spotify, which in turn "dampens" the sound, both with wired headphones and paired to BT-devices.
@Jaevlar
While using my bluetooth speaker or receiver I don't see any changes in volume levels when switching languages and no "dampen" effect, but I know this effect from my cable-headphones. Sometimes even short passages of a song with probably a higher peak level get dampened but only when using an E.U. languge. But I've to admit I tested with Viper4Android and not the default equalizer.
I found (sort of) a fix for the issues I've been having with the audio levels being to low. Downloaded Equalizer FX (Pro) from Google Play. Increasing the "Loudness enhancer" in the Effects-tab seems to have done the trick. Audio still varies very briefly when you start to play a song, but it's no longer dampened or muffled. The downloaded equalizer does interfere with the built in one, a notification shows up in which you can choose to deactivate the built in one though.
Using my prefered language and location (Sweden) works with this method too. A little bit annoying that the soundlevel varies at first, but at least audio out now has some more punch. Will test it in my car with the bluetooth hooked up too; hoping it works there as well.

OK so I used the search on here and googled this to no avail... I'm currently on slimkat 4.4 for the flo but I've also experienced this on 4.4 on my d2vzw... When I use my Bluetooth headphones to listen to music or watch a movie the volume is either extremely loud or too low... There seems to be no comfortable middle ground... I was wondering if there was a way to edit the build prop or a 3rd party apk I could use to fix this... I've tried to mess with DSP manager but I can't seem to aquire the volume level I desire... Maybe this will get ironed out with time... Any help/suggestions would be much appreciated...
I was having this same problem that I posted a few posts down from yours. The volume on the lowest setting was extremely loud. I put paranoid Android back on and now it's back to normal. I haven't found anything that fixes this yet so will stick with 4.3 til they fix it since I use my headphones often.

It is Kit Kat issue on all devices that use the default Google Bluedroid Bluetooth stack, meaning Nexus devices and Google Play versions (other devices running a modified stack may not be affected).
Supposedly, it is an extension to Bluetooth AVRCP 1.3 that enables Bluetooth audio devices to directly control Android's system volume. It seems some genius thought two independent volume levels (headphone volume and handset bluetooth level) was too confusing for folks. Clearly they did not think about (or test) that some Bluetooth audio devices with their own volume controls might default to a very high or low level, and control of only the handset's bluetooth level would not provide sufficient range of adjustment.
So once again we have Goofle googing up bluetooth in Android. Please share your disappointment in the following threads so that we might see a fix ASAP. Guessing they are facing law suits for hearing damage if it is not addressed quickly.

Workaround for playing music is, Play Music > Options (3 dots thing on the top right) > Settings > Equalizer > On, then put everything to the bottom. Still kinda loud, but at least it won't bust my ears.
My issue was with movies not play music. I flashed a different rom and it works fine now anyways hehe

Hey guys,
I just bought a nice USB-OTG DAC for Hi-Fi sound, the Audioquest Dragonfly Red. I really like the augmented sound it delivers - although I noticed a major drawback:
The maximum sound is strongly limited due to a false recognition of the true max volume by the phone. Loudness is controlled by the phone digitally, there're no buttons on the device itself.
According to my research, it is a known issue that the device is always started with level 22 of possible 64 levels of volume. This is intended to prevent harm to one's ears. But Android phones mistake level 22 as the total maximum and don't allow to go any louder. The manufacturer says that this can only be corrected over the ROM. There IS a workaround by using 'USB audio player pro', because this app directly controls the sound output. BUT, I want to listen to Spotify and Tidal, and these apps do NOT allow sound output control.
Any ideas?
I think the problem can be fixed by disabling safe headphone volume (can be done via GravityBox, not sure if there is another method) or redictering audio using SoundAbout app.
Both methods require root privileges and in my opinion this isn't a solution you're looking for.
Just sharing my ideas.
Yeah, redirecting sound output is about what I would have guessed. I just wanted to check if there's already a working solution for non-rooted devices before rooting mine.
The thing is, that I tried a couple of USB-OTG DACs, and only the Dragonfly red is having this issue. Unfortunately it's also the best sounding one...
you can find poll on reddit.
Alright, it's working with USB audio player pro. But - one major drawback:
Although Tidal is supported, this workaround does not allow for playback of offline Tidal tracks... So still no solution that'll work in everyday life...
I spent last few hours to look for options for making the Dragonfly Red work with my Z3C. This post on Pixel 2 https://forum.xda-developers.com/pixel-2-xl/themes/pixel-2-usb-audio-control-t3704024 works perfectly to significantly increase the Red's volume, however, its interface doesn't fit properly on smaller screens (HD on Z3C).
Hello. I change phones alot and have noticed that some phones(all android) have better bluetooth playback than others.
I had a oneplus 7 pro before this phone and the bluetooth quality to my truck was great and had no issues but with this phone the highs sounds scratchy or like if the speaker is bad. But if i connect it with a wire connection it sounds great. Everything with the 2 phones is the same. On both i was using the galaxy watch and pretty much the same apps. On a previous phone the note 8 i had the same issue but it was a different car. Seems like its the way samsung handles bluetooth.
Has anyone had this issue? If so was there a fix?
Thanks

What do you mean?
The only two things I think about is the codec used that may be different across devices, and the Bluetooth settings that sync the phones volume with the headset (the differences are noticeable).
Since no DAC is used in Bluetooth, I don't think it can comes from them, for a same headset.
On Samsung phones you should run the adapt sound process. Try this.
I tried with the sync volume off too and no improvement.
I looked for the adapt sound and my phone doesn't have that setting. Or is it something different?
It's in Sounds and Vibration 》 Advanced Sound settings 》Sound Quality and effects 》 Adapt sound
You have to do this in a quiet place and ensure to answer honestly. If you can't hear the beeping press no.
After doing this the sound quality is night and day difference.
Ok found it. Ill play with it a bit. Thanks
I've had issues sometimes with audio being piped through the "Calls" Bluetooth channel versus the "Audio" channel so worth checking as the quality is obviously night and day.
I also like enabling Dolby Atmos on my Note 10+ for music so worth playing with too. Additionally, I recently found Samsung's Sound Assistant app which let's you customize a bunch of sound settings so worth checking out as well:

Is there an easy way to tell if the audio is going through the call channel?

Easiest is probably just uncheck calls in your phones BT settings for your truck (and make sure audio is enabled). If the sound is still not great then this isn't the issue.
Sorry to respond to an old thread, but I was wondering if any of this fixed the OP's problem. I followed all the recommendations here and on other threads but have not been able to solve my recent Bluetooth audio problem. The sound has been terrible lately.
Same issue here on my s10+. When playing any audio in my car via BT i hear the distortion/hissing noise especially when the song has a higher treble frequency.
I have just about tried all fixes i could find on Google, and no luck.
When connecting to my ear buds (Jabra Elite 65t) it disappears and checked in developer mode that it supports to AAC for BT Codecs.
But when connecting to the car it reverts to SBC.
The issue clearly lies on Samsungs side, as my brother has a Huawei p30 Pro, also has bluetooth 5 and plays amazingly well in all aspects (Bass-Mids-Treble).
I know I'm posting this almost a year later, but i am desperately looking for a fix.
SN. I have recently updated my phone to Android 10, despite all the complaints to Samsung from many users... Sadly this issue has not being fixed on my side.
From what i see online, people have given up on Samsung and opted for Rooting their Samsungs and installing Viper4Andriod.
Has any one done this and can confirm that it fixed the issue?
Hi all,
I have MI 10T and recently I bought xiaomi's TWS 2S headphones. I noticed that when screen is locked, audio becomes very bad on Spotify (ie). Same thing happens sometimes even if not in locked screen.
Output is distorted, and generally is a bad experience. On the other hand I've tested the headset with other devices (ipad, mi note 3, Samsung S71) and audio is perfect. So my best guess is that there's something wrong (hopefully) at Bluetooth software.
I've changed Spotify to no battery restrictions, and set it to autostart. Didn't help. I also visit developer settings and tried to change the audio codec from default to something else. There I noticed that's not possible. Whatever change I do, when I exit dev's page it returns back to default values.
Any other had Bluetooth problems?
I'm on 12.0.15 stock global.

I also had this issue, changing the sound effects preset from smart to video/music/voice works for me but just for a while, i have to constantly do this everytime i re-open the music app.
Seems like there are very few user experience this since its been more than 6 month and no one have answer for this weird yet annoying issue, sad
Hi all
I and two other people I know using this phone have the same problem. This must be considered as a bug now. Xiaomi support acts like a fool and gives the same answers all the time. I am also afraid this might be a hardware issue. When connected to headphone and playing music, hold the phone 60-70 cm away from you and cover the camera area with your palm, and you will see it dissconnects.
If anyone installed a custom rom to 10t, can they please tell us if this problem exists or not?
First, I apologize I'm posting in this forum regarding Xiaomi 11T, but there are no similar cases in it's forum.
So I recently bought Xiaomi 11T, about a month ago, and the volume on my true wireless earbuds is extremely low compared to my older phone (Xiaomi Mi A1), which was running on Android 9. Same is the case when I use earbuds with laptop (and the laptop has a much older Bluetooth version 4.2, I guess). So I looked it up and did find a possible solution but the phone had to be factory reset to solve through that solution, which I don't want to do because it's frustrating doing it all again. *I tried solving (linked below) this by following the steps except the resetting one, but it did not solve this issue. *I have already tried changing the region. I'm in Pakistan, so I changed it to US, India and also restarted and re-paired the earbuds, but it still didn't solve.
So is there any way that I can solve the low volume issue without resetting the phone?
DO NOTE that "Disable absolute volume" option in developer options is TURNED OFF.
Solution which requires resetting the phone
I copy-pasted this from my post in Xiaomi 11T Pro forum, but found no solutions.
So please let me know if any of you know any solutions to this issue.
I'm not an expert, but I remember some things of time ago:
1. EU rom has some limitations for earphones volume due to European regulations, so you would need to change the region or even the rom if this is your case.
2. Disable "absolute volume" in your paired Bluetooth device (your TWS), I know you have disabled it in developer options, but look for that same option in the paired device section.
3. Enable MI Sound Enhancer and try with the different options. It always helps me to improve the audio.
Please share your results, if this doesn't work, I will look for my earbuds and try to remember what I did to fix that.
Add: Also, if your earbuds have integrated volume control buttons, check if the volume control is "synchronized" with the phone, first time I use my earbuds in my Poco F3, the volume of the earbuds and the phone was independent.
Add 2: I take a look at my earphones, if you disabled absolute volume, you need to turn up the volume directly from your earphones. I have enabled absolute volume because of that.
Hi. Thank you for the reply.
1 ) I have tried changing the region and it still was the same.
2) I don't have the option for disabling "Disable Absolute volume" in Bluetooth section paired device section, nor in the advanced settings, as shown in the screenshot below.
3) Mi Sound section is grayed out for me, even when the earbuds are connected.
I did notice that earbuds and phone are not synchronized. Volume of earbuds is adjusted separately to the volume of the phone. So how do I sync them? Please let me know.

Hi,
To synchronize the volume of both devices, just enable absolute volume again, we already know that's not the problem, so do it.
MI 11T has atmos right? Change sound preset to video and try with the next set up in atmos settings.
Also, you can try disabling "sound enhancement" from game booster options.
If you have enabled absolute volume again, changed the preset to video, tried the setup in atmos settings, disabled the sound enhancement from game turbo, and the issue is not fixed, I can't help you, but I will be pretty sure that the problem will be the earbuds.
Edit: You could play with the sound codecs of developer settings as last resource.

I enabled "Disable Absolute volume" as you said, and set the preset to Video as well. And this is as close as I could get with the equalizer settings (they're horrible to set). And there is a positive difference than before. But it still isn't as loud as before or with other devices.
And I couldn't find any "sound enhancements" in Game Turbo.
There is no option of Media Volume sync, as it is in Samsung. I tried looking it up and it said that it is now built-in Android 10 onwards? I don't know.
But I tried the earbuds with laptop, and they're so much better, just like before. And I change the Bluetooth codec to AAC, but it automatically reverts back to SBC. I don't know anything about audio or codecs. So any guesses

I think this option (Adjust sound to earphones) might help, since it looks like media sync option. But I don't know why Mi Sound is grayed out.

First, please resize the images you attached in the comments, are huge.
The "enhanced audio" option is in "Performance mode".
Now I remember MI Sound Option is only available for wire earphones.
Even if disabling Enhanced Audio from Gameturbo don't fix the issue , keep it disabled. If it is enabled, when you start some game or app that use game turbo, the sound turns to sht.
The absolute volume feature must be enabled to sync the volume of both devices.
Honestly, I have no idea what else could you try; well, yes, some equalizers have the option to artificially increase the volume, maybe that could solve the problem in some way.
In my experience, the loudness enhancer of Equalizer FX works very well.
If FX doesn't work, try the app "Boom" by GlobalDelight, It has a free trial, imo is the best app for music (super recommended for windows too), and when I use it, my head explodes if I turn up full volume.

Sorry for the huge images. I new to posting threads, so I don't have much experience or etiquettes of threads.
I have turned off Enhanced audio and turned on "Disable Absolute volume", and still audio is not synced. And just increasing the volume isn't my goal. Rather I want it to work properly, as intended.
Anyways, do you think that the solution that I have linked in the original post, would work?

Disable Absolute Volume has to be turned off, not on, I mean, you need to have absolute volume enabled.
Try with FX loudness enhancement, could work.
Idk if the post solution will work, but I think you need to try.
