I notice when I set the media volume max and plug in headphones to listen to music, it will automatically drop the media volume down. It does it all the time even though i set the media volume at max. Once I plug a headset into the 3.5mm jack the media volume just drops back to its default values. How do I make it stop?
Whenever I hook my phone up to my car's stereo I turn the phone volume up all the way so that I can keep the car volume at a low level. However, I forget that the media volume is set high so when I go to listen to music the volume almost destroys my ears before I turn it down.
My old phone had it to where the volume goes to a default volume whenever headphones are plugged in. Does this phone have that cause I'm not seeing it. If not, is there an app that does it?

You might wanna check out Audio Manager or Volume Control +. both have sound locking features so the sound wont change unless u are in the app to change the volume. hope this helps
Just bought an Xperia Z Tablet and note that the volume seems low.
When I go to the Settings/Sound/Volumes I see the button on the first Volumes selector ie Music video games & other media is about half way across.
I slide it all the way and press OK but when I go back in it has reset itself to the half way marker?
I am using blue tooth headphones while this is happening.
Any ideas why or how to boost the volume?
OK, just plugged in some conventtional headphones and when turning the volume up got the warning message. This didn't appear with the bluetooth headset so the system limited the volume. Once I had set OK in conventional headphone mode it seemed to clear the way for full volume in bluetooth mode. Volume is fine now.
Is there a way to increase the volume on bt-headsets?
if i set the volume on the headset to 100% and the volume on the watch to 100% it is still not really loud.
The Samsung Galaxy S21 got rid of the phone jack from previous models and now has only a USB-C connection. I bought a USB-C-to-phonejack converter so I could use the headphones I had from my S7 phone. It works when I am using the headphones to listen to music or watch videos. By "works" I mean not only do I hear sound through them, but I can control the volume either using the phones controls or the built-in controls on the headphones. EXCEPT! Except when on a phone call. When I use the headphones when using the phone, the volume control does nothing. Neither the controls on the phone itself, or the controls on the headphones. I end up deafened because the volume is at max and can't be turned down. Again, this is only while speaking on the phone; other apps let me use the volume controls.
Any ideas on ways to fix this?
Thank you,
S.

I can't guarantee that this will work. But often what seems obvious to me is something other people miss completely. (And the other way around too.)
When you press the volume down or up rocker on the phone, have you noticed the three horizontal dots at the top of the onscreen volume indicator? If you tap on that 3-dot menu, multiple vertical volume indicators appear. I haven't tested with a USB-C audio jack dongle but I am betting that if you have the dongle plugged in (regardless of whether the earphones are plugged into the dongle), one of those vertical volume sliders will be specifically for the dongle/USB-C output.
Give this a try and let us know if this works. If it does, I realize this might be annoying to do every time. But maybe then you can find a utility in the Play store that allows you to set individual volume levels.
Good luck.
P.S. I fully understand if you prefer the wired earphones. But I can tell you that when I use bluetooth earphones of various kinds, simply pressing the volume rocker does reduce/increase phone call volume.

Thank you. I never really noticed those dots in the volume control; just ignored them all this time! I pressed them and see the extra options. I haven't tried the USB-C dongle yet... I just packed it away for a trip this week. I'll keep it in mind though and try it as soon as I unpack.
