Bought a new Lumia 710 last week (amazingly great price for a very decent phone!) and I've just realized today that my volume only increases in steps of 4 (on the WP 0-30 scale), ie. 0,1,2,3 settings have the same volume, then 4,5,6,7 are the same (a lot louder), then 8,9,10,11 and it's like that all the way up to 30.
It happens when playing music or podcasts, with headphones or on the loudspeaker.
Pretty annoying if you're listening to music - sometimes impossible to get the best volume level
Anyone else had similar issues?
You already installed the updates from Zune?
Yep, installed all the updates!
Funny enough this only happens when playing stuff using the built-in zune app, it works fine when playing youtube videos.
I have the same problem! Is this a software problem or only my phone have it? It happend on every rom!
Yes it is a software problem. It is described in threads here in the lumia forum. ( Listening to music with earplugs and a volume at 14 or below brings the volume to max when having an incomming call for example )
it is solved with the latest (tango) and nokia specific updates, or at least me and my friend have no sound bugs anymore
*cheers* :good:

Unfortunately, this didin't work for me. Installed official Tango update for central Europe with no changes.
I am too experiencing the same issue on my lumia 710. There is only 8 levels of volume in zune player/any zune based audio player.
Wondering if anyone has a fix for this as it is very annoying. Sometimes I cannot get the perfect volume for my situation. Sometimes either too loud or too soft.
I wonder why almost no one else notices this issue as its a huge one in my opinion. First thing I noticed when I received my lumia 710 and put some music on it. I know its happening to all if not most 710's because I have gone through 2 already and they all have the same issue.
On tango rom btw.

No, this is not the issue OP is talking about. Read more closely please.
I understand what you mean but seriously... after installing lumiatrix its improved a lot... i can actually sense the volume distributed properly

Hi,
I'm on Galaxy S2; Android 2.3.3; KE7.
When using headphones on my device the volume is great for music, videos, youtube, and even skype. However for some reason it's only around half of that level when calling (even tough the volume is set to maximum).
I've done some google research and found out that it's quite a common issue with this phone. A workaround has been found by using some codes. However, it is not a permanent solution.
I've found a post which says that someone had called Samsung and they acknowledged the issue and will send them a new phone where this issue has been fixed.
1) Has anyone found a permanent solution to increasing the volume of the call when on headset?
2) I've also found a post where someone says that apparently Samsung will fix this issue in Android 2.3.4. Can you confirm this? When will this be available? If it's longer than 1-2 weeks I will have to send my phone for a refund/exchange (although I love it).
Your advice on the above is much appreciated.
Hi, I've done some further research and I think I've found the solution:
First make sure that your sound is on (as you can't access the volume settings in the silent mode) -> press the Menu button -> Settings -> Sound -> Volume -> and then increase the 'Incoming call' volume.
I've just tested the call volume when on headset and it has been increased to a more that enough level. Great. My love to this phone is growing
Now I have to figure out how to disable the camera shutter sound....but that's a question for another post...
It seems that the solution above worked for some time but now my phone started to deliver very low call volume when on headphones. Maybe it's due to the Android update, I don't know.
However I found that the issue is related to the media volume. For example when I listen to music and turn the volume low then this affects the incoming call volume and it becomes low as well.
The solution to this problem seems to be: make sure that the music volume is max before you want to make a call. I've just tested it an is seems to do the trick.
It would be great to hear to another solutions to this problem for unrooted phones.
Heard this app works well,

hi,
i got my titan recently and i experienced this strange bug when listening to music on my titan .
if i were to listen to music via zune and head back to the home screen and tap on the search button, it will bring me to the bing search page but the music will suddenly become muffled ! . a very big change in audio quality ! . but when i tap on back and go back to the home screen then the audio quality is back to normal again .
asked around and heard that this might be a common issue even on the hd7 but i cant seem to find anyone with similar problems on this part of the forum . (or maybe i did not search well enough)
anyone else facing the same problem ?
btw i'm using my own earphone without volume control .
I experienced this from the speaker yesterday. Wasn't sure what triggered it... I had good sound quality and then I did something (not sure what) and suddenly the sound was muffled and poor.

okay . i just tried with my speakers, i was also able to trigger the same issue ! .
it occurs everything i do that .
playing music via zune and then pressing search button at the home screen .
any idea whats wrong ?
It's a mango related bug. Over in wpcentral forums, we've narrowed it down to mango causing it.
I just noticed this yesterday. I was using slacker radio then suddenly the sound was muffled when the screen was on. Screen off it was great. Unlocked and noticed the search page open. Hit home and the music cleared up.

Still not fixed in Tango
Hello,
This bug is still not fixed in Tango update. I found out, that if you wait and do nothing for about one minute in Search, the audio qaulity fixes.

I'm considering flashing 7.8 with nokia care suite. Being the first time I do this, I wanna know a few things
1)Is is possible to restore if something goes wrong without losing all the data?
2) What kind of nasty things are there, waiting for me on 7.8? Crashes, bugs, etc etc?
Hi,
Firmware downgrade is supported on LUMIA phones.
And data will be lost - of course!
BR
It's all fine except for the volume reduction. If you use your phone to listen to music or podcasts, be warned that the new maximum volume is about the equivalent of the old 15 / 30.
I Don't wanna loose my SMS and savegames.
So I consider making a backup of my Lumia 800 with the help of this app and upgrade with Navifirm and Nokia Care Suite to 7.8. Is it possible to restore the backup with zune for getting the SMS and savegames back or wouldn't it work?

The volume on my lumia didn't become lower, I got once a message that listening loud music might be dangerous for my hearing and that's all!
Thing is, I updated it then went back to 7.5
The Bluetooth file share app wasn't available for download. Any cluse as to why this may happen?
Yeah, I am facing the same problems with BT Transfer and Ringtone maker. It looks like there is some region restriction. Do you know which are the working regions?

Hello,
I didn't find other references about this one.
I noticed a really poor and crappy performance when Bluetooth is connected to my audio car system.
I experience subsequent and short connection drops/re-connections, also during phone calls.
In addition:
- audio volume is very low, also when all pumped up.
- I don't get recent inbound and outbound calls and contacts lists sharing.
It's a pity. Other devices work flawlessly, even some old (non smartphone) GSM devices.
Is anyone experiencing something similar?
Thanks for any info.

That's strange, I have BT constantly on as I have the phone paired with a Sony Smartwatch 3, plus I exclusively use my Jabra BT headset during my long commute for music, videos and calls and never had a single problem with the volume level, connection and sound quality.
I had the same problems you have with a damn expensive HTC M9.....
Yeah, that's strange, I suspect the audio system it's just choosy... It's likely that the phone will work OK if I try some other BT device.
I'll do it when possible.
This was just to check if someone else had the same issue.
Thanks!
Yes, I did notice the relatively low volume when I connected the phone to my Vw stereo in my car.
1. Low volume for both music and voice calls compared to my previous phone (ip5c)
2. Also the phone has a problem with avrcp profile, so it cannot display the song name/metadata on the stereo screen !
Connects to car ok but doesnt load the contacts.
ive just discovered this problem also it connects to my sony car system fine but will not load the contacts unlike my sony z1 compact.

This app seems to fix all issues:

It's the trial.
There's the paid version too.

I have the same problems in my Skoda Octavia 2015 (no ID3 tags, not possible to change track by the steering wheel buttons, sometimes stuttering, quite poor audio quality when calling). The Honor 7 works perfect with the Skoda, the iPhone from my girlfriend as well.
But I connected the OPX to a Renault and there it worked faultless.
So I don't know where's the problem... maybe the OPX doesn't support all AVRCP versions?
In my Kia AVRCP works with PowerAmp and Deezer. But I still have the same problem with contacts and calls list.

My Mate 20 Pro shows a crackling symptomatic whenever i do sth. that would emit a sound.
Even with the speaker disabled (vol. on 0)!
How-To:
1) Get in a quiet location & Turn down the media volume to 0 (mute)
2) Open any audio playing app (Telegram, Whatsapp, Spotify, Youtube etc.)
3) Press your ear against the USB-C charging port (if you hear some faint whitenoise coming out of it, wait until its gone. If you dont hear anything continue with 4)
4) With the phone still muted perform an action that would trigger a sound from within the application (play video / music, or send a message)
5) You should hear an audible *POP* sound coming from the speakers.
// If you cant hear it try this:
A) Get an audio file between 50-100hz and play this after you completed steps 1-3
(I tried toggling mono sound too)
If you still didnt hear anything i need to RMA my unit :S
Expected behaviour:
- The audioIC should not power up if the volume is 0.
- No crackling on normal audio playback.
Kind regards
Martin
Tried all your steps and have no sound whatsoever. It is probably your device that has a fault. Sorry
Already checked with some pr guys theres an update being rolled out to fix this issue. Whats your Version? Im on .108.
Thanks for checking though!

I'm still on 108 too. I can hear that pop when I send messages on WhatsApp when it's on silent
Yep on 108 and have the same thing, apparently a software update will be available soon
Confirmed fixed with .122
Gaming crackling
I also have the issue you mentioned. I'm on .153
But I have a issue that is driving me crazy.
When I play games I hear a random crackling in top speaker. Its a crack during music not constant but random. I tried several games and it's constant .
I called assistance they don't know about this problem.
Can't seem to reproduce in music or videos.
Can someone help me? Give some pointer or how to properly test this?
Thanks.
@MartPwnS
Are you sure the issue is fixed permanent with the update? Have a new device (regular Mate 20) here on .108 with that issue and if I update I can`t return it to the seller. I`d like to keep the device.
@illyone might be too late but theres no crackling noticeable anymore.
