[Q] When I plug in headphones, volume lowers? - AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717

I noticed when I plug in my headphones in my car (to ye old cassette adapter), the volume goes down to around 60% or so. Raise it up to 100%, unplug & plug the headphones back in & it lowers again.
Anyone know if there is a setting somewhere I'm not aware of?

Just a guess..but that's probably a feature to save your eardrums.

pretty sure this is right

Darn you 'features' for causing me extra steps!!

This annoys me too. I need the volume at 100% for it to sound decent in my car. And where I dock it, the volume keys are face down so it's a hassle to do.
I smiled the first time I saw the "listening at high volumes can damage your hearing" warning that appears when raising the volume to 90-100%.

Power amp has a feature to resume volume level when headphones are plugged back in

Nevermind I guess it doesn't

Nobody has figured out how to disable this yet?
When I plugin external speakers, the volume automatically lowers itself down. I raise it up to 15... it lowers it back down to 10 automatically with a pop-up about listening to music too loud. Wtf.

Headset volume level

I've noticed that whenever I plug in my stereo's aux cable to the headphone jack, the Media volume drops immediately to around 3/4 of max, and I have to manually turn it up every time. Is there a setting I can change to disable this, or am I going to have to flash a rom?
Sounds like a feature you would want to keep. Prevent accidental damage to your speakers. I usually control the volume of my stereo through my phone. So 3/4 is about where I keep the volume. But that's me.
There are apps in the market that can 'lock' your volume from being changed like volume control +. Here's a link:

I'm the exact opposite - I leave my phone on max volume and control it with my head unit - it automatically ramps volume up from Zero to the last setting when it turns on.
Thanks for the link, I'll take a look at that app.
Btw, at 3/4 volume on the phone, I'd have to crank the head unit near to max, or crank the gains on my amp, and I'd prefer to do neither.

Reduce speaker loudness

Hey guys
does any of you know if there is a way to reduce the loudness of the speaker? cause when im phoning via speaker it is too loud eventhough i set the volume to a minimum.
Have you tried lowering the volume with the volume key when you are in call. I think it works.

Yeah sorry that'S what i meant by "set to a minimum"
Well the only things I can thing of is partially covering the speaker with your hand while holding it, or even covering part of it with some sticky tape. I haven't heard of or seen an app which could lower the volume below minimum.

The maximum Volume is too low

My volume isn't as loud as my previous phones.
Could it just be my phone?
Anyone suggest an apk that is safe to use without hurting the speaker.

Might be your speakers/headphones.
I've noticed that depending on what headphones I use, the volume is different.
On my phone, using earbuds, I have to keep the volume quite low actually. if its even 50% its too loud for my ears.

Sound problem?

I just got my new EVO LTE. I rooted it and running meanrom 6.0. I've been having trouble with my sound? When I plug it into my car I turn the volume all the way up and its still not that loud and no bass kicks in. When I plug in my EVO 3d I turn the volume all the way up on the phone and you can hear way better. Is there something wrong with my EVO? Or is there a setting preventing it to reach its maximum volume?
I don't think anything is wrong with your phone the volume just sucks. You could try an app volume+ didn't really help me but it might for you.
the headset volume is pretty low, I've played with the settings to see if I can get more of a decent output but it starts to sound distorted. The only thing I can think of is this trend of dropping the volume that's slowly making a return. A few years back advocates complained about kids damaging their hearing and a lot of companies went so far as to build limiter circuits to keep them from reaching certain decibels. Of course that worked a bit differently, you could still get full volume with a few work arounds

Headphone volume too loud after Oreo update, Verizon V30

My favorite thing about the V30 is the quad dac because when enabled it gives you volume control in 1% increments. My hearing is sensitive, i will normally listen to music at a volume of 5 or less.
However, after the Oreo update, volume of 1 is too load. I have the quad dac enabled, and have the gain set to -6db (minimum) on both channels. I have tried different "filters" and sounds presets. Didn't help. I have tried disabling the quad dac, this only makes it go loader because now it adjusts in 5% increments.
Has anyone else noticed this change? If no one else had noticed this I will try a factory reset. If that doesn't work, i can go back to using an inline volume slide adjustment to reduce volume.
Thanks!
PS: I know most people will probably be happy about the volume increase and it was probably done for this reason. I understand I am likely an outlier on preferred volume levels.
Just an updated.
This was a fluke. I restarted my phone and the volume levels returned to what they were before instead of being elevated.

Made a post and solved it yourself! Reminds me of the football play where the quarterback threw the ball to himself and got a touchdown.
