I have ics on my Razr, when you hit the volume toggle it jumps roughly 7% higher or lower.
I want a more finite control on my audio.
I have PowerAmp along with 60 flac albums on my maxx and its annoying to have the audio too quiet to hit the volume button and its too flucking loud.
a 2-3% jump in volume would be almost perfect.
I can adjust the gain on powerAmp, but depending on the recording it easily can get back to too quiet or too loud.
Any thoughts ?
re
4th of July bump!
I noticed the volume jumping on ICS as well, however it only lasted a few minutes and so far my volume control has been fine otherwise. Try disabling the built in equalizer?

Already had the eq turned. Off.
Its not that the volume is jumpy, but rather the 7% increments the volume button press does.
Lets say the songs a little too quiet at 49% hitting the volume up one click will jump it to 56% for example and then its too loud.

Hey guys, with my touch hd, i like using my in-ear headphones although they are far too loud when using the music player tab in manilla. how can i put the volume down?
try searching, there's already a thread about this.
as far as i know, that thread suggests using advanced config to set the music player value low. Setting it to 1 still makes it rather loud for a minimum sound level and so this doesnt really solve my problem.
also, with the audio booster enabled, how do i change the overall volume?
the only way ive been doing this is by creating profiles with various changes to the overall db values (ie subtracting and adding 1 from total, 2, 3 etc.) but this is a long process and id have to do it for every config.
any ideas?

This maybe a bit simplistic and you may have tried it, but why don't you take all the frequencies down to -6 in the Audio Booster? This in theory should drop the overall volume by -6db? The other thing I did was buy high impedence earbuds which where 150ohms, but ear buds are not everyones thing. I don't like "in the ear" phones myself. I have some yuin PK1's....they are superb HiFi.
If the music is too loud, you can edit the registry to fix it:
Local_machine\software\HTC\AudioManger_eng\Config\ music_player_volumn
Change the DWORD to 10 or lower and soft-reset the mobile
(Original value is hexadecimal: 64 or Decimal: 100)
You have just decreased the maximum music player volume in TouchFLO3D
Here is another tip.
If you want the phone to remember the last volume used with headphones, so that the next time you plug them in, they will automatically play at that last volume, you can also do this in the registry. The only problem with this particular tip, is that after every soft-reset, you'll have to enter the changes again in the registry.
But here is how to do that:
Local_machine\software\HTC\VolumeOverlay\SavedHand SetVolume
Change DWORD to 0

How about using your Stylus (or finger) to lower at minimum?
Rgds,
huh?
Why would you edit registry etc?
Whats wrong with the up/down volume keys or as stated the volume icon in taskbar?

In some cases, (and I had this problem), even having the volume at just a couple of bars was pretty darn loud. That meant that it didn't give you much room to play around with a decent volume range. Basically, you knew you never needed the volume louder than just a few bars. If you wanted to rock out - it was fine. But if you wanted to listen to music at a soft volume, it was not that easy. If you turned it down a bar or so, it would drop the volume quite a bit and another bar down meant no more volume. Also, the side buttons drop the volume faster than if you use your stylus. So, that meant that using the buttons sometimes dropped the volume from loud to mute in one press. So, I had to take the stylus out every time to carefully lower the volume just a bar or two. And that gets annoying.
So by making the registry adjustment, you are basically setting your desired max volume to be at the top of the bars. Now you have whole range of bars to slowly drop the volume down when you want to listen to softer music.
Not everyone has this problem. I had it with my stock ROM, but once I started using Dutty's ROMs, I never had a problem with it.
I see, 5 mins out of box Dutty's ROM on my HD
This problem went away since i switched over to kwbr's Topix a while ago. It seems to be a result of some headphones having a higher sensitivity to others, so they interpret the same electrical signal into a louder sound, hence why HTC try to eliminate the problem by giving a set of headphones which are known to be the right sensitivity.
also, once i have the volume all the way i have it, how can i change the volume? when using the audio booster, the volume control no longer works

I don't understand your question.
However, when I use the audio booster, I can still use the volume buttons as usual. Do you have anything else installed that could be interfering with it? For example software to map buttons?
I think you should use WMP to play, easier to adjust the volume
Try using one of these:

Works well, microphone and answer button work, and has a volume slider so you can tweak volume as required.
I spend most my time in a library with in-ear headphones and the lowest volume is just too loud for me. Is there any way to change the volume rocker's (or slider's) increments?
I'm using Vegan 5.1.1
Sorry Hachi, I dont have an answer for you.
But I am bumping this post up because I have the same problem.
Also took 5 minutes of searching to find this post.
Has anyone found a solution to this yet?
Thanks
Tnt Lite. I had vegan before and lowest setting is still loud. Tnt Lite works. Just do a backup first and try TNT
I would also like to know if there is a solution for this. I am currently running VEGAN 5.1 and when I listen to music only the first half of the media volume does anything. From half to full I dont really notice a difference. I would like to be able to properly spread it out so when I turn it up the max volume on the screen is also the max volume of the device.
I am using TNT Lite 4.4 and noticed the volume is very low until the last setting, not a linear curve.
try using Quick Settings from the market. it allows you to tweak the volume a whole lot more than the stock settings menu.

This does help with system level volume items, but as far as media being played even at 1/10 the volume is too loud.
Fortunately using my blue-tooth headphones I have found I can use the in-line volume control to make it a reasonable level. I just don't know what I will do on an airplane.
Can you keep your BT awake while the screen is off?

Running vegan 5.1
I just tested with locking the screen and had no problems playing music with the stock player, tested for around 12 minutes. After that i set my sleep to 2 minutes, started a song and walked away with the screen still on. The screen went to sleep but the music kept playing, tested for two songs.
Good question and sorry I don't have an answer, but I'm glad you asked. I've seen huge volume differences in different apps. For example, Angy Birds is too loud for quiet settings even at the lowest volume level while some web sites are too low even at the highest settings.
Try the free poweramp app in the market. Go into the eq settings and adjust output. This solved a volume issue for me
Is there any way to modify the software on the ThunderBolt to allow for an increased volume limit that would make the speaker louder for low volume apps and maybe even have a hack to enable SRS to be always on, since its currently limited to just the Music/Video/Gallery app
I listen to Sirius XM and some other streaming apps at work and my volume is unsatisfactory compared to what i had with my Droid Incredible, and seeing how we have a larger speaker with SRS capabilities, I think this would be handy for ThunderBolt owners if we could somehow get a hack for this.
+1
For music and stuff i use Power amp which has a built in eq and a volume booster.
But as far as streaming and anything that you can't use power amp for I also think our phones could/should be louder.
I have a hard time hearing people during phone calls and am constantly holding the vol up button trying to make it louder. I have heard people complain about theirs being to loud but can't remember which rom thread I read it in.
Is this even possible to make our phones speakers louder?
While searching for a fix I found this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1047241
I just dl it and have yet to install it but thought you might b interested. Lemme know your thoughts about it and if it helps.
I will do the same as soon as I get my crying baby to sleep
I think the thunderbolt volume and vibrate is very weak. When I set the ringer on low I can hardly here it. When I set it at full volume it doesn't seem loud enough, especially when driving. Is there any way to improve this?

In call and speakerphone volume are far too quiet for me also, adyrenlyn's kernel helped but was unstable on my phone and I can't find the right place to edit the volume myself for imoseyon's kernel
When I've connected my Bluetooth headset (MW600), my notification volumes are lowered automatically by the system. I found the reason that I don't listen to my music at full volume.
Keeping my music volume lower, is it possible to keep my notification tone's volume at max? (My setting is max already and if I disconnect, I have no issues).

Same happens to me when I connect to my car: volume goes down to approx. 70% and yields the volume control to the car. Just use your headset volume keys and forget about the phone.

Thanks for the reply.
Ja, I do that, but when I play the music it blasts out of my ear! Kinda annoying. I never had this issue with my X10 or Arc. I used this same Bluetooth with them!
Everything was working pretty good then I went from 10.1.3 RC to final 10.1.3 and now my voicemails play back at max earhole volume which might as well be speakerphone volume and my call volume in the earhole is also maxed out.
What in tarnation is goin' on around hear!?
Of course I checked the volume settings and all sounds are down to the lowest option. Pressing volume down during message playback and calls does nothing.
It is so bad I cannot have phone calls or listen to vm at work because the volume exceeds the allotted personal space cube dweller decibel acceptance threshold.
Help!
