Is there an app or mod that allows finer volume control steps for the ringer and notifications?
The lowest volume setting is still too loud for me.
Hold on, thought I saw an app for that.
edit--
Sorry, it was PowerAmp, this app allows 'step-less' volume control. But this is a musicplayer which has its own volume control, it's independent from the system's audio.

Typical issue:
- about to start some app that makes noise (game, paused music player, etc)
- trying to lower volume in advance, by using the volume button: doesn't work, controls the ringer volume instead as the phone is not playing any sound yet
- start app: LOOOOUUUUDDDDDD... until i can lower volume using volume button.
Question: any way to change the behaviour of the volume button so it controls AT ALL TIMES the media volume?
Thanks!
Don't know about any app that would do that, but you can go to sound settings before opening games, media, players, etc. and lowering the media volume before starting those apps.
Stick a finger over the speaker hole until you're able to lower the volume, it effectively mutes it. (except in very, very quiet environments)
Hi, I'm a newbie,
and i feel your problem as well.
Who in the world often change the ringer volume?
Most people will want it either at maximum volume, or minimum volume (off, at silent mode)
Most people (i believe i speak for most people),
would rather have the volume rocker to control the media volume.
Is there a better fix for this? Please help.
covering the volume hole is a nice trick, but its not really an effective solution.
Man who stick hole in finger better sticking finger in settings sounds and adjusting sound levels no ???

I have been using the finger up the butt method lol
would be nice to control only media volume with volume button
Does this only happens on the SGS2?
Or all android devices?

I use a "lock the ringer" app for this purpose alone.
If I could reprogram the volume buttons to always only affect the media, I could even get rid of the above app.
Loads of custom ROMs and custom stock ROMs have the option to have the volume expandable so when you tap the rocker the dialer volume appears but then there's a little settings icon at one end and you can tap that and media, notification and alarm volume all appear
when I put my ringtone volume up and down via the volume buttons I don't think my notification volume goes up and down with it. I have to go Into sound settings and move notification volume manually..
is there a way to make it go in unison?

in apps like audio manager (which also has a pleasant side effect ) you can see all the different volumes there are.
alarm
music
notification
ringer
system
voice
so to be able to control all these different volumes with one volume rocker, it only changes the volume of currently active stuff, in a call, you can set the in call volume, yet not the music volume and while listening to music you will not be able to set the ringer volume, unless you do that either through system settings, an app like audio manager, or by triggering a sound of the category and pressing vol up or down in that situation.
The media volume in android only has 15 volume levels, 0 being no volume and 15 being max volume. Is there any way to make it so I have say 30 or 100 volume levels so that I can have more precise volume control? Or to add the abbility to change the volume with moving a bar like on the iPhone?
When listening to music it is often the case that one volume level is too quiet and the next one higher is too loud.
Samsung devices can do this in voodoo control. But other device, I'm not too sure.
You can try to use preamp built in music player. Tune the volume yourself.

I'm looking for a OS-wide solution
PowerAMP has this feature with the preamp, but I wanna use the stock app.
Maybe a mod for the stock app which add a volume bar into the user interface?
So I understand that in ICS these are both bound by the system. So in that case when adjusting the volume with the side buttons shouldn't that not only adjust your ringer volume but the notification volume as well?
You are correct the notification and ringer volumes have been merged, now one in the same. I have an application called Audio Control which will give you separate notification and ringer volumes which can be found here:

On Kitkat, my volume button was controling the media volume without affecting the Ringone or notifications.
Not with Lollipop, my volume button controle Media sounds, but if I lower it down, it also lower my Ringtone... Is there a way to keep Ringtone volume to Max no matter what ?
