The lowest media volume setting for Android is still ridiculously loud in my bluetooth headphones. (In fact, the volume is exactly the same no matter what it's set to.) Is there any way to have better control over it? I tried searching through duckduckgo, but I couldn't find anything. My phone is rooted, if that helps.

I was wondering if anyone else had issues with their Bluetooth headset after the gingerbread upgrade? Before, on Froyo, I had independent settings for the volume on my headset and on my phone (by this I mean I could turn up the volume all the way on the phone, but still had the five or so presets on my headset); this would give me about 30 or so different volumes I could be at. Now, with Gingerbread, when I change the volume on the phone, it only changes the volume on my headset, so I'm down to only 5 different loudness settings. Sounds like something menial to complain about, but the lowest volume now is blaring, which makes listening to music at work impossible without disturbing others. Any fix that anyone knows of, or anyway around this? Thanks,
Jacob
Bluetooth on gingerbread is working fine for me.
all volume settings.
You might end up resorting to RE -flashing the system.img file for 2.3.4
it should fix it using fastboot
a easier way would be to use the new fruitcake to restore with CWM they work.
I have the Sony Ericsson HBH-IS800 which does not have volume control on it, so for devices without the bt volume thing, it plays at full blast even at the lowest volume on the phone.
I downloaded the Bluetooth Volume app and it seems to fix a lot of the volume problems, but its still finicky.
I *just* got this headset, so I don't know if this was a problem with 2.2 Froyo.
I us the S9-HD headset, and everything still works fine with all buttons/volume settings on GB.

Hi,
I've been having consistent problems with volume, specifically being too low, and especially while connected to a bluetooth headset. I also noticed some odd, and likely related, behavior with the volume in general.
Here's how I see it: Start some music playing. Go to Menu > Settings > Sound > Volume and scrub the Media volume slider back and forth from 100% to 0% and back (and repeat).
On my Atrix, the max sound gets consistently lower each pass until it's silent, even at 100% setting. I think this is part of the issue with the media volume. As I adjust it up and down it loses some peak volume each time. I can bring it back up with a lot of tinkering (mostly through the OS volume controls and in PlayerPro), but I have not found the formula to deal with this in a normal way.
Has anyone else seen this, or can suggest a way to prevent or restore these volume anomalies? Running GB and rooted. Thanks!
I haven't seen this specific issue, but if you think the Atrix has volume problems, go try to use the Infuse without voodoo sound.
Are you saying I should try an Infuse ROM? I'm not sure what you're instructing me to do. Sorry for the extra clarification needed.
No, I'm just saying that your issues could be worse. The Infuse is another phone. Disregard my post if it confuses you.
I use PlayerPro also and have no issues over BT. I start my music playing, turn media volume up full via the volume up button, then control volume level after that with my headset.
I never go into the volume in settings, as it is greyed out for me. I am set on silent and vibrate always as I spend a lot of time in meetings.
My issue is not with PlayerPro or even BT (though it is more noticeable with it), the problem is that the audio gets progressively lower as I raise/lower the volume. PlayerPro does have some volume settings, which is why I mentioned it here.
I found an app called Volume+ that works fine with my rooted Atrix. It boosts the bluetooth audio. I still have the problems I listed above, but this one app may enough to get me over the hump.
I still would like to know what causes the strange volume behavior I'm experiencing above.
This problem has been talked about some time, but I'm not able to find a real solution:
I'm using CM9 with Siyah-kernel. When I use a wired headset, the in-call volume is extremly low. Even at max I cannot understand the other party when I'm outside.
Now, some solutions have been proposed:
* Use STweaks to boost headset volume. That works but also increases the music volume. If I boost it enough so that in-call volume is good, music volume gets hard to control.
* Use the service menu. On my phone I cannot access the audio menu. As I understand, I could flash a different modem (e.g. XXKI3). Can anyone tell me where to download it? All links I found were dead. And anyhow, as I understand these settings are reset on boot. So it's not really a permanent solution.
Is there anything else someone could think of?
I'd really appreciate any ideas.
Best regards
Ole
Anyone know a way to define the output for the volume levels? Basically when you turn the volume from 0 to the first bump up (I.e. supposed to be very quiet), I find it to be uncommonly loud. Any thoughts?

I am curious about this as well. Seems to be more noticeable when streaming video from the web browser.
I've noticed this also. Since all the ROMs so far are bases off of stock, it has affected each ROM I try as well
I've tried lowering sound in equalizer and looking for quiet apps, but not-so-shockingly no one wants an app to make their phone quieter, only louder. As for now, I either connect to a Bluetooth speaker and play that audio quietly or headphones.
I haven't tested this myself yet (but I will soon because it's such a problem) but I've heard that editing the build.prop (relatively easy to do) can adjust the volume levels. There's another thread somewhere around here that discusses doing this. I'll post back if/when I get it to work.
i used to complain how speakers was low on my previous phones,But dna it super loud on low.Like this beast of a phone have bose built in.
Same problem here. The lowest ringer volume level is still way too loud for work.
And with Sony xloud you can make it louder

I also noticed this problem. The first bump of volume is way too loud. Hopefully someo f the custom roms can tweak this to be more reasonable.
Hi there does anyone know how to assign a app to use a different volume level? The problem i have is i use the pumpkin DAB+ app (i have attached to post) to listen to the radio and use tom-tom for navigation but the DAB app volume is much louder that the tom-tom volume so even when set to mute DAB when instructions are played it is too quiet to hear the instructions.
i have tried playing with the volumes in factory setting but it looks as if the DAB and tom-tom volumes are both affected by the system volume, if i lower the radio volume in factor menu and listen to the red radio app and use tom-tom then the instruction are much louder.
so my question is they a way to make the DAB app use the red radio app volume level.
Thanks in advance
You can go in the factory settings menu and change up the volume on 'system' to something like 15 (I tried 20 today and it almost made me jump out of the car when the directions came on!)
OK, back on this thread, which I know I posted a response to. But I didn't quite read the OP right.
I have the same issue that my GPS voice when radio is on is pretty quiet (even with the volume turned up), but when on DVD/streaming it is very loud. Is there a way to make them more equivalent.
Any ideas?
Hi , I have the same issue. When playing music over a music player such as poweramp , dvd or whatever the gps , either sygic or navigon, is perfect. As soon as I use the radio the gps volume is very quiet in both navigation apps. Im using the latest Malaysk ROM.
Thanks
Have you tried head unit system/gps/switching-mixing control ?
Sorry for not updating after my last post, what I have done is in the factory settings menu turned the radio right down (to 1 or 2), DVD down a bit (to 4 I think), system up to about 13 and the volumes are much better mixed. Its only a bit loud when doing Music from USB now so I'm getting there. Basically you need to turn some volumes down, and others up in the factory settings to get something to work for you.
Here's the fix if you have been struggling with this issue

Set the volume levels of correction for each full-time applications. When you switch to the application volume will be increased by the correction value, and at the exit reduced. So I solved the problem of the insufficient level of application volume "Music" in comparison with "Radio";
