Hi,
I searched for this and can't find anything on it. Was wondering if anyone else has experienced a similar problem.
When using the FM radio the range of volume that the volume slider/buttons controls isn't always the same. Sometime when a message comes in and a notification plays the volume will jump up. I've tried to use the sound controls in settings to replicate this but it won't do it.
Co-incidentally, receiving messages while the radio is on also sometimes results in the tuned frequency to change :-S

This sounds like a software conflict seen this on the mini pro many times.
some apps or rom features change the volume when notifications come in... this screws with other settings put into place by other apps.
There should be "hopefully" a setting to disable this volume change in the rom.
Also please post in Q&A for future questions. Thanks

Does anyone have fix for 50% sound/volume bug on AOSP roms CM7/MIUI?
What bug are you talking about, i have CM7 nightly and no issue like you say?
The bug is the volume doesn't go higher than 50% when using headphones. Using the speaker is all fine however.
There are solutions out there - modding some settings or there's an actual app - Cyanogen_SGS2_VolumeFix or google "VolumeFix for SGS2"

thanks for the help... but does it actually work? I mean do you get the same sound output as original firmwares.
I have tried it and it does not work correctly...maybe its just me.
Does anyone know how this bug is caused? I have apparently heard that some people have it and others don't. And the bug isn't about volume but rather the threshold that the volume slider in AOSP Android responds to button presses from the volume key.
I would appreciate all the help
Try the fix in my sig. I can't say I've experienced this "50% volume bug" in my several months of owning an SGS2, but the app in my sig boosts the volume thru headphones/a headset significantly with only a relatively minor loss in sound quality.
Supercurio has also released an app which only works with a limited number of kernels so far (Only Siyah 2.6.3/4 as far as I'm aware) which provides a quite nice up to 6dB boost in the sound level thru headphones without any loss in sound quality whatsoever.
Well thats the thing, volume is not the issue. The issue is that the bug causes the volume slider to go only about 40% before being unresponsive. The volume is capped at around 70% I think. Effectively, after 40%, your volume bar is useless and thus the bar jumps a huge amount from the 70% in volume to 39% (I don't know if that made any sense...)
I want to try and fix it but I don't even know where to start

Has anyone found a fix for this yet? I've been searching for many weeks but have not had any luck. I've swapped ROMs and kernels many times to no avail. Is there perhaps a way to modify certain system files with regards to sound that might fix the problem?
So i don't know if it's a software issue because of the new phone but my volume adjustments are very erratic, especially my voice call volume, every time i go on the phone it's at full blast and there's no setting to adjust it! also, there's no separate adjustment for the notifications! also pissed to see they grouped the nav with media sounds. when i downloaded an audio manager, the system volume and voice volume especially ****ed up constantly, but everything else was all over the place too, can anyone help me figure this out??
p.s. does anyone know of or is working on an external speaker enhancment?
Everytime I use Poweramp and, for instance, start using the browser, eventually it turns off. I've tried playing with the settings but didn't have any luck. Is anyone having this problem or knows a solution for this?
Another niggle I'm having is related to the volume rocker being unable to change music in longpress.
Thanks in advance.
Settings, Audio Engine, Advanced Tweaks - Enable Keep Service and Audio Thread Priority too 2.
Never had that problem before with these settings..
As for volume rocker changing songs.. Volume Rocker only changes the volume afaik
My name is Optimus Prime and I send this message..
Thank you so much, the audio thread priority did the trick for me
As for the volume rocker, I used to be able to change track on my old HTC hero. Very useful when I was driving. Anyway, it's just a minor annoyance.

On the Sammy's they only change volume, though give it a couple of months and someone will have come up with a mod to enable long press to change track (just as they did on the S II).

Cheers - had 3 of these cut offs in a 40 minute walk home this evening and it was driving me mad - hopefully that'll do the trick..
Shame fix doesn't work - 3 cut outs in a single song..

Unfortunately, I'm also having problems again. Strangely enough, it seemed to work for a certain amount of days, guess I wasn't running that many apps aside from the browser and poweramp, so it didn't trigger this behavior.
Meanwhile I changed from stock rom to Omega 6.0, but it shouldn't it have anything to do with the problem, right?
Hey I am having some major sound issues with my device. The only changes I have made are rooting it. Sound modes seem to have no effect on volume sliders. When the volume is on and if I go to vibrate mode or silent mode, nothing happens. All the volume stays on and will continue. I tried bypassing the issue by installing volume control + with no results. Volume sliders were not changed by the app either. Anyone else have this issue, any ideas on how to fix it?
Thanks
Update: Resolved, there was something wrong with the root package I used the first time. I used a new one and all is good.
Afaik 'silent' only applies to alerts and notifications such as the phone ringing on incoming calls. It does not apply to the multimedia volume.

The issue includes notifications and ringtone. They both continue to play at normal volumes in silent and vibrate mode.
Changing to cyanogenmod fixed this issue for me.

Search for exact same question posted last few days .

now its ok, problem fixed, just installed latest jkay deluxe settings and my problem was solved. before its like this: example the notification volume is just 1 /10, when i adjust the ringing or media volume via volume keys, notification volume increases, regardless of adjusting the ringing volume down, notification volume still goes up.
