Hi, I upgraded my S10+ to Pixel 6 Pro and now I encounter a new issue, while watching Netflix at night, the lowest level (4%) is too load, and trying and trick it using Volume Styles and other apps on the playstore but it didnt help (even when reducing the level, the lowest I get eqal to the 4% level)
Is there any way to make it lower? (prefrablly without rooting)

In case we are talking about the phones speakers, you could try an Equalizer app and see if changing the Ouput Gain changes anything. But I'm pretty sure that (non rooted) you will not be able to lower the lowest available system sound level.
In case you use Bluetooth - there is an option under developer options called "Disable absolute volume" - that could help you, in case you use a pair of Bluetooth headphones.
"Absolute Volume is an Android feature that combines and synchronizes the volume control on your smartphone and audio devices. This means that increasing the volume of your phone will also increase the volume of your Bluetooth headphone or speaker. This is a great feature, but sometimes it makes the volume on Bluetooth devices unacceptably high, even if your phone’s volume is low."

It actually worked!
I downloaded Music Volume EQ and lowered the EQ levels. It's not the best UX, but it'll do. Thx.

Has anyone noticed that the volume is lower in Froyo than it was in Eclair?
I've tried a number of different apps (built in player, tunewiki etc.) and there seems to be a definite reduction in the volume since upgrading. Any ideas?
i was going to post a thread saying volume is much better!
earlier on 2.1 it was crap for me. now both in call volume and media volume are much better and in call volume is clearer. the rear speaker sounds less tinny and is passable now. the shrill hiss / tinny sound at max volume is gone now totally since froyo update i think atleast on the tracks i listed to (preinstalled music and soem youtube videos). i was infact thinking i might reduce the volume a bit which seems a bit of a shock to me knowing the crap rear speaker dished out with the desire. earlier i had said elsewhere that this was the worst speaker i had seen on a phone compared to any of my phones in the last decade, but now i retract that statement. looks like it was a software issue.
i had before the froyo update installed the free 'car mode' app that uses the rear speaker, i would use that mode when ever i put the phone in my trouser pocket as otherwise i would never hear the notifications and often the ring if i was out and about. then after fiddling around i found some sound settings which wasnt obvious at first and disabled the default tick box that made the ring volume and notification volume the same. after disabling that tick box then i could independently adjust the notification volume.
also before the froyo update i installed the free 'quick settings' app which under its settings has a setting for sound, under that apart from the usual volume controls, it has a separate control for system volume which i couldnt find elsewhere on the phone and after increasing that system volume to max, the volume output improved from the rear speakers.
but after froyo it is even better now, both for call volume from earpiece and rear speaker. i cant comment about the earphones as have never used them yet and still in its packet somewhere. wish there was a way to use the fm radio without needing the earphones.
Interesting..I'm specifically speaking of the headphone volume and the ringer volume. It's certainly lower (around 30% lower than 2.1).
I do agree the output from the inbuilt speaker is improved.
Upon further research, I have seen others mention similar issues and also relating to the quality of the sound. I've also seen custom roms using pershoot's audio mod which is supposed to increase loudness. Can this be applied to a stock 2.2 rom (rooted of course)?
When in bed, just before going to sleep, I enjoy listening to music on my phone. The surrounding environment is very quiet (it's night) and my in-ear headphones (sony extra-bass canal headphones) are simply amazing at noise cancellation. With these two factors in play even the lowest volume setting is too loud for half-awake type music enjoyment. I don't want to lower total volume range since if connected to my car stereo and set to max volume the media volume is perfect, no need to fix that range, it's the lower range's increments that bother me.
Is there a mod, tweak, or an app would could give us a much finer control over media volume? I really liked XiiaLive's internal volume slider that worked independently in addition to android global media volume, but now after they tied those to be the same the 0% volume and the next step up are too far apart... >(
Hopefully I'm not the only one with such needs. Thanks for any suggestions that you guys might have

WinAmp from the market lets you adjust the gain or the ADP mod for your ROM can do the same also, along with a few other things. Personally I use ADP because it makes everything sound better and I hate hitting the pause button on my headphones and having 3 different music apps turn on.
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.
Hello everyone,
Would you please, tell me, if there is anything I can do to have the lowest volume, a bit lower??
It's way too loud, even if the volume slider it's on lowest..
Thank you
I personally use ViPER4Android FX as a Magisk module which allows you to set the Output gain (under Master gate) to as low as -40.0 dB, which is plenty silent.
Just remember to turn on Master power.
I recently updated to Android 9 and now the volume levels are way too loud even at the lowest setting. It's crazy loud even on 1.
In the past I have used Precise Volume to adjust the number of volume steps from 1-100 and this worked to decrease the volume. But since updating to Android 9 Precise Volume no longer works.
Is there anything I can do, short of holding my finger over the speaker(!) to decrease the overall volume?
Try Sound Assisant from Samsung. You can set your own % level for any app.

Did you enable floating button? I. e. you can set 80% of default loudness.

I don't get it. First it was too loud, now it's too quiet. Sound Assisant does not decrease overall volume. It just gives you more adjustment options.
